Ronan can do an awful lot of things while unconscious, but sleepwalking isn't one of them. He's wandering these dark corridors because he's waiting for a certain someone's return and he's got nothing better to do in the meantime. Anyway, it makes him look productive, like he's on patrol, and that's useful these days. It's important to stay important.

He can tell there's something off about Jack the moment he rounds a corner to find the guy sort of staring into space. He's got a pretty good idea by now that Jack's missing a few screws, and maybe he ought to leave the guy to it. There's something about the way Jack's standing, though, that makes Ronan pause. An odd familiarity to Jack's stance. It makes Ronan think inexplicably of Bryde, which chills his spine and also roots him in place. Something in the air is shifting, the kind of electric charge that usually precedes a lightning strike or a surge in the ley line.

Or a dream.
