-Oleg, what did you see? A distant male voice asked.
-Am I here? Oleg asked and wiped the hair from his face. He was soaked in sweat again. For a split second, Oleg thought he saw black fog in the room. He shook his head rapidly and the outlines and objects in the room began to take their proper shapes.
-Pen and paper. Oleg said and immediately received them in his hand. Palmer took the disc from his grip in exchange. Oleg recounted the events, or the most important ones. There was no need to mention his delusions. Oleg didn't want Palmer to think he was going crazy in the future and stop the experiments. His entire career depended on this project.
-Are you sure that's all? Palmer asked, waiting, as if sensing that Oleg hadn't mentioned everything.
-That's all... But this bothers me. I couldn't get a grip on the dream in the same way as back then with the lottery numbers. And the time dreaming was shorter. It broke off before I was ready. Oleg spoke irritably.
-It's normal the further we aim. I also strongly suspect... That perhaps your hangover affects the situation, Palmer said, somewhat prickly with a big smirk on his face.
-You mentioned an observatory; maybe if we go there, you could get a better hold of the vision. Was it somewhere nearby or abroad? Did you recognize the place? Palmer pondered, tapping his cheek with a pen.
-I believe the observatory was the one we have here up on the mountain. The writings were in Cyrillic, so it was unlikely to be abroad, but I didn’t see the surroundings, Oleg scratched his head and got up to change his clothes.
-Well, I'll go book it for us tomorrow, Palmer said, gathering his belongings.
-Don't drink tonight! And choose a song that firmly anchors you to a moment in the future. Especially you, Aljovich, pick something you hear only in your father's company, Palmer preached and then disappeared through the door.
-Well, today wasn't as successful a day as last time. Are we still going to the restaurant tonight? Aljovich asked.
-Not today, Aljo, I need to prepare for tomorrow. Oleg shook his head as his stomach growled.
