Efof meets Dysart

Who: Efof, Dysart and Amber
Where: Alota Chrysler's Blue Dwarf
When: After the bug blew up and Rosette left
Efof watched in silence as Rosette climbed into a Starbug and quickly
sped out of the landingbay doors, apparently either possessed with
something or having just remembered some prior engagement. He pointed
at the departing shuttle as if nobody else had noticed, his mouth
forming a small "o" to represent his confusion.
He then looked over to the window, showing a lone escape pod floating
away from them. He should have shouted and screamed for Amber to come
back, but instead his mouth formed another small "o" and he pointed
stupidly.
Then he let his arms fall to his side. "Does everyone have somewhere
else they'd rather be or something?"
Behind him the whirring of a rusty skeleton signified that Dysart was
putting his hand up. "I'm still here."
Efof spun around quickly and put his hands on a sturdy metal railing
behind him, something he could use to pull himself quickly behind if
this newcomer attacked him.
"Who ARE you?" Efof said.
Amber's first instinct was to pull a gun on him, Efof felt like he
should too, with all the evil duplicates around it might be a wise
plan. Sadly he didn't have one to hand, and wasn't very good at
shooting anyway.
"Efof... this might be hard to believe. But we've met before. We were
almost even what you'd call 'friends'."
The hologram around Dysart flickered due to the damage he's
sustained, allowing Efof a split-second flash of a grizzly metal
skeleton underneath. Efof was startled by this and pulled himself
behind the railing.
"I really don't think we have. I'm not friends with any scary robot
skeletons. Are you some sort of Krylon or something?"
Dysart shook his head. Then spoke with a calm voice. "Don't you
recognise my voice Efof?"
Efof lived his life in perpetual ignorance, and didn't often remember
things from one day to the next. But there was something vaguely
familiar about his voice.
"In fact, we once shared a delusion. A shared dream. I saw into your
head, you saw into mine." Dysart stepped closer, and Efof took a
further step back, crouching down ready to make a break for it in
case the figure in front of him actually was a Krylon and was about
to whip out a buzz-saw attachment on his hand.
"I saw your fears... I saw your people get wiped out by the
Hymenoptera. That thought that you carry around in you head. You
showed it to me."
"You're freaking me out dude." Efof said. "Just don't get any closer."
"Efof! It's me! You saw into my mind. You saw the orphanage, you saw
the fire."
"I can't remember any of those things."
"Just think Efof! It was some tramp who threw a can of piss at my
head, we were in a shared coma."
"Had I been drinking?"
"No. You must remember!"
"Sorry dude. I must have been drinking since. This human alcohol
isn't so great for Ffionian brain cells."
"Efof please remember! In your mind some random Ffionian girl gave me
a fertility symbol."
Efof made a face of realisation and pointed his finger into the
air. "Oh... nope, don't remember."
"There was a weird Texan called 'Potential' with clothes that keep
changing."
"Nope."
"Oh come on Efof. I was wearing the black tshirt."
"Oh! Andy? Andy the cleaner is that you?"

Tag Dave, I'm not sure how far to go with this – I'm hoping that you
don't mind Efof knowing who Dysart used to be?
