This is the first of Rubicon’s dream levels and, as the title suggests, your dreams are not yours alone. Dreams serve much the same role in Rubicon as they did in Infinity. In fact, the Rubicon team used this feature to help tie Rubicon to the original Marathon Trilogy. The Rubicon manual explains it as follows:
Time lines and fate? Although Rubicon doesn’t involve the fate of the universe in the way that Infinity does, a lot is at stake and the outcome has a lot to do with the future of humanity. Although the defeat of the Pfhor empire is important, your role is not critical and they will be defeated regardless. Of course, you cannot know this, nor does Durandal, and it is only through these dreams and through the occasional clue that you will learn that your place at this time should be elsewhere. There are three opportunities for you to get to the Salinger Plank, which you need to do to save humanity from its own most destructive influences. There are also a couple of opportunities to move from the Salinger Plank to the Pfhor Plank, leaving humanity to the evil plans of those hungry for power. Because We Dream You occurs in a vacuum, you may not have the opportunity to read every terminal in detail. There are lots of oxygen power-ups scattered about, along with some ammo, however, that make it worth your while to explore. It’s unfortunate that time is short, because it’s important that you read the terminals. In this interest, I’ve included the full text of the most important terminals here:
The dreams in Rubicon come at critical times in the game – at crucial junctures. The player is about to enter the level Hairy Legs, the last level in the Chimera Plank. Success or failure will determine whether the player enters the Salinger or Pfhor Plank at this point, and the Jjaro in their unclear way are trying to point the way.
