They could be using a power to replicate it...? [ also kind of ?? at me alone when she talks about machines ] I just meant asking around--someone's bound to recognize their own memories if they're described to them, right? Then we'd know if they are using them or not.
That would be concerning. But it's not like I wouldn't know how they'd find out -- buuut if they could dig into my memories anyway, why would they need to learn about the Somniums...?
[ ow. her head. ]
Only a psyncer remembers a somnium. If you were the source of one, you wouldn't remember anything that happened in it.
Not randomly, for no reason. They have to sign forms and stuff. [ usually. permissions unclear, game inconsistent. ] We're secret, but there's still steps to follow.
Somniums are open to interpretation, and influence. They can show you might know something about a situation, but they're not valid as evidence in court. We can only use them to guide us to something we might've missed, or a line of inquiry we might not have thought of.
A bit easier to talk your way around than finding a murder weapon in your house, right?
Because we're looking into complicated cases? We investigate first, it's if we find someone who's hiding information from us that the Somniums come in handy.
Honestly, talking about the Somniums are kinda weird anyway. It’s not like I’ve ever talked with them outside the handful of people who know about them.
[ like she’s doing something she shouldn’t and boss is going to emerge from behind a bush and dock her pay. (she doesn’t get paid) ]
But what about you? If you’d want to avoid a Somnium, does that mean you have something to hide?
Probably someone who thinks a lot about doing the right thing for everyone. [ among other things, but. ] I'm not that kind of guy. If there's something I want to do, I just go for it. That's it.

[ there's an underlying "you need a warrant to do that" that he won't say but that might be obvious from the look on his face ]
I feel like someone looking at your house is still better.

There's another reason as well, but I'm really not talking about that one. [ lol. lmao. ]

Yeah, they are usually out to keep inconvenient things, or things that benefit them swept under the rug.
