[ And hey, maybe they are! Ford doesn't think it's that simple, but it's a possibility that's never far from his mind.
Oscar's last question, though... Ford has an answer, but it's not a comfortable one. ]

Not any details. Just that it's Bad.
....there's not another option, is there?

[Oscar sighed, mulling over the futility of having to rely upon a being that was no longer present within the dream.]
We really don't have any options, do we?
