Dreaming Electric Sheep

Overview

Enemy

Dreaming Electric Sheep (F-01-20-08) is a HE-class Abnormality that is fought on Station 10 of Line 4: Masquerade.

It can also be encountered in the Mirror Dungeon through Abnormality events and as a potential boss.

It is the source of the E.G.O Electric Screaming.

Appearance

Dreaming Electric Sheep is a giant sheep with a grey thundercloud in place of wool. A spherical purple 'core' can be seen at the center of the thundercloud, from which purple bolts of lightning are emitted. It has a small black head with curved horns and a pair of glowing purple eyes. The body is supported by four long, skinny legs ending in claws. Multiple white spikes can be seen sticking out from the storm cloud.

Um… I thought it was a big storm cloud at first.

With the purple lightning through the wispy cloud and everything, and… Oh yeah, it was floating somewhere up high.

But I wasn’t looking at a storm cloud. I was looking at a sheep with… with very, very long legs.

I don’t know if it’s the storm clouds casting shadow over it, or if it was always dark, but its legs were so long and dark that they just blended in with the background.

But I noticed something new with every strike of lightning, with every flash…

It was almost like a dream. A four-legged cloud, illuminated in the flares of violet…

Oh, and… there was something that stood out as odd from that dreamlike sight, though.

There was a machine in there, with its cables and plugs strewn all over the place. … Maybe it was like a power generator, or something?

Manager said something like “maybe the cables are the key to dealing with this Abnormality”…

Do you think we have to plug those cables into the sheep? Ah, I see… What if that sheep is screaming so much because of the lightning in its body…?

Well… I guess that's kinda like getting perpetually electrocuted. Of course it’ll hurt.

U-um, maybe we should plug this cable into the sheep…?

I can’t just sit back and do nothing forever, you know…

→ Huh, so that's what you were thinking when ya suddenly started sprinting towards that thing, kiddo? That was one weird battle cry, by the way. (Gregor)

→ Once Sinclair comes back, I'll let him know that there's no need to overexert himself. (Dante)

(There is some dark, ashen residue here. It’s been wiped away, but it left its mark.)

Ah… sorry, I coughed up ash onto the paper. I-it won’t cause any problems, right? I wiped it just in case.

Anyways, what happened was…

… The sheep began attacking me as soon as I grabbed the cable from the generator.

It would burst with lightning… or try to ram me with its body.

Ah…! Hey, I think plugging the cable into the sheep helped! The sparks spewing from the sheep’s gotten slightly less intense.

Now that it's no longer tortured by lightning, hopefully it’s cal (this part of the report has been burnt away, leaving the contents of this record a mystery…)

→ Where is the rest of this record? He left this report unfinished. (Ishmael)

→ T.P. A boring death, totally pulverized by the ramming sheep. (Ryōshū)

→ It can be determined that his cause of death was his negligence to pay attention to the battle to the end. He should not have diverted his attention to writing this record in the middle of a fight. (Outis)

→ I really thought it would work… Maybe the lightning wasn’t its source of pain? (Sinclair)

→ Not enough lightning was drained from its body, perchance? Mayhaps we shall impale it with the other cables first, then observe?! (Don Quixote)

Just as we finally got all the cables attached to the sheep, lightning struck, and purple sparks flew everywhere…

… and the sheep just collapsed on the spot. It’s probably sleeping, right? I don’t think it’s d-dead…

Oh, and… I-I know this sounds weird, but…

Mm, yeah. I don’t think this sheep’s dead. I think this electric sheep is dreaming… L-look, it just twitched!

Nothing says that Abnormalities dream of Abnormalities, right?

Maybe it's enjoying a gentle dream, free from the painful strikes of lightning. Maybe it's suffering a dark nightmare because we’ve taken its spark…

Well, there’s no way for us to know now, but… I wonder if lightning actually hurts this Abnormality. Or… maybe having its electricity taken away hurts more.

→ Hm? Frau Faust didn’t leave a note here. Now that’s a surprise. (Gregor)

→ Faust does not always consider these ruminations as unnecessary. In fact, she considers this an interesting subject. (Faust)

→ So, can Abnormalities even dream? I’ve seen some entities among the Outskirts Monsters that'd fall catatonic like this sheep. (Ishmael)

→ Hmph, isn’t the answer obvious? They’re merely emulations of human behavior, nothing more. (Outis)

→ The ability to recollect may become the Abnormalities’ bridge from the waking world into the land of dreams. Yet, we know not whether what it reminisces is its past, or merely its figments. I lack sufficient evidence to speak with any more confidence. (Yi Sang)

Mirror Dungeon Event

It’s a dark cityscape,
but the buildings are well-lit.

It appears that they are powered
by the massive buzzing cloud at the center.

The cloud has a head and two pairs of legs.

Is it being siphoned of its power?

In the unlit town, weeps of the lightless fill the air. A tiny object rests where the electric sheep once was. E.G.O Gift Dreaming Electric Sheep obtained!

Plug another cable into the electric sheep. The electric sheep bleats and screams. As its distressed screech shakes the air, flashes of light hit the eyes. The buildings are lit brighter than ever.
