[ You find yourself stepping into a cold, dimly lit room. The double doors behind you automatically slide shut. The server room is located deep underground, with what appears to only have one way in and out: the elevator that you just stepped out of. But upon examination, the doors are tightly shut with no control panel in sight. You're trapped here.
On the opposite side of the room, a set of stairs lead up to an elevated platform. There isn't anything else on the other side of the platform, but one misstep could send you falling further underground.
Scattered along the floor are machines, nonfunctional and appear to have been torn apart by a blade. Among the machine bodies are three human female corpses wearing ragged clothes. At a glance, they look human. There's even a liquid substance pouring from them that resembles blood. Closer inspection shows wiring, circuitry, and mechanical parts sticking out from broken limbs. "Dead" androids.
In the circle of corpses, A4 can be seen wielding an electrified sword from Akvos. Her state of appearance is the same as how it was when she was with the Circle: a more simple, one-piece black dress. Artificial skin missing from her left arm, revealing the metal underneath as a clear indicator that she's an android.
She's facing off against two little girls dressed in red. Yet no matter how many times she tries to swing her sword at them, they dodge her attacks with an unusual amount of ease. ]
Shut up, shut up!
[ "Why do you try so hard?" "Why do you choose death?" One girl sounds childlike and the other more robotic. ]
I know what you're going to say. I've heard this before. Just shut up!
[ "Humanity abandoned you." "You live only to die."
After another futile swipe of A4's sword, the red girls dodge again. Her gaze follows them, until she catches sight of the other Circle member watching the scene. ]
What... what are you doing here? Stay behind me!
[ A4 positions herself in front of her companion, protectively sticking her arm out. She's yet to realize this is a dream, convinced that she's being forced to re-live this moment. And now, somehow someone from the Circle is thrown into the same mess by her side. ]

[ A4 is tired. Her experience in the Rift placed a lot stress on her systems. But if she sees someone glancing her way, she strains an exhausted smile.
With her heavy weight, A4 remains in the higher tunnels where the waters are shallow. Throughout her time in Akvos, she's already well aware that she's unsuited for deeper waters. Once others from the Circle emerge from the waters with the mermen, the android will be waiting to offer her assistance. ]
Hey. Do you need any help? I can carry two of them the rest of the way.

[ Feel free to do a variation of any of the prompts! My dreamscape plotting comment is located here or hit me up at propinkist. There is only one way to escape the server room... in canon anyway. I'm open to outside influence or other dreamscape influence to avert A4's fate/wake her up somehow. ]
