Had game last night. It is a hike all the way out there, but it's so good to spend time with friends again. I get lonely. Got back, fell asleep.
Had very weird dreams. A Galactic SF empire which was matriarchal in nature, and bonded to these xenomorphic nightmare things. The queen kept the xenomorph queens asleep in tombs through the sheer force of her psychic will, but there was also some strange breeding/infusion thing going on...the queen, her daughters and other royals had xenomorphic ichor coursing through their veins, and the daughters would be tested throughout their lives with ordeals of strength, endurance, and willpower. This 'activated' the xenomorph blood, either giving them strength and stamina far beyond the human, or if they could not control it, turning it into acid that devoured them from within and left them dying in screaming agony. The royal guards tended to be lesser royals who had only a smidgen of the royal ichor; however, great stress or the psychic strain of the queens could activate the blood within them, making them stronger and sometimes twisting their form into something inhuman (because the guards did not have the will training of the royal daughters). The daughters also would call each other out to challenge for the throne; a test of endurance or stamina which would end with one dead, and the other that much closer to the throne.
