	Of the far reaches of space blessed by the Emperor, cursed was that of Courova XVI. Stationed by the will of the Imperium there with my fellow guardsmen, a grim and dark battle raged incessantly between the chaos cultists that had infested the planet and our brave platoons. Despite our best efforts, the cultists had successfully managed to successfully appease the warp enough to call forth a unit of Berzerkers. Lined along the trenches encircling our stronghold, the vile hellspawn readied their forces for a decisive charge, one that, given our faith in His will, we did not expect to survive. At first glance I thought my eyes had deceived me, but this was clearly not the case. Lumbering slowly across the land between the two forces came a small number of what appeared to be heavily armored bedframes.. Given, that if one were to call them beds, they would have to note the strangely adorned sheets and pillows covering them, each themed to match with its rider. Taken aback by the encroachment of this strange new force, the [[Chaos]] cultists hesitated, waiting for them to make the first move. As the caravan of transports lumbered slowly along, we realized that these ~~we're~~ not those of battle, and as both sides looked on in puzzlement, the group ascended the hill and was gone.

			== [[Emperor's Nightmare]] Relations ==

			While theoretically not dissimilar to the Emperor's Nightmare chapter, the Sleepy Marines are unlikely to know of these apparently kindred spirits. The only actual marines who may be able to directly enter the Warp are the chapter's psychically active brethren (or chapter Librarians if any exist), and they appear to be distinctly linked to the worlds created on the edges of Warp space by mortal dreams, just like Explorers and Dream Warriors. All other marines only enter the immaterial semi-dimensional space created by the Beacon(s), and realistically wouldn't leave the Mainframe's effects for any reason. The Beacon seems to exist as a mobile area for the Sleepy Marines to enter; on the edges of Warp space, like a collective dream. Plus, the false Warp Storm created by the beacon would screw with all but the best astral projectors.

			Just as well, the Sleepy Marines would most likely never physically meet marines of the Emperor's Nightmare. Neither chapter will relinquish their marines to the harsh universe by sending them on far-flung missions.
