It could be more cryptic if he wasn't portrayed, as the player would shockingly discover that the "old man" from the 990 document was the same voice in their dream. If anything, his portrayal should be akin to a static, picturesque image and look very dreamy. The game's engine won't do justice to a detailed model of 990, and if anything a blurry image would be more fantasy-like wouldn't it?

[Sequence and game begins with D-9341 appearing in a park with SCP-990 on a bench facing towards water (like this http://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-990/scp990 but without explosion in background)]

990: Take it in... peace. It's a luxury.

[SCP-990 turns to face D-9341]

990: You look afraid. Why? Don't be afraid, it's a beautiful day -- rather, night -- but it sure seems like day, doesn't it? I guess that's what dreams do. I would happen to know -- or I should, given the amount of time I spend in these things.

[Pause -- Background scene begins to gradually fade into white or black (TBD) over the course of the monologue]

990: You're quite the quiet one, aren't you?

[Short Pause]

990: Alright then, I'll tell you outright, in case my hints weren't enough. You're in a dream, this may be the last one you will ever have, for nightmares come ahead.

[Pause]

990: When you wake up, you will be taken. Taken to a place I know quite well, the Foundation. They say they will have everything under control. No reason not to believe them, they've done it for a very long time now. But, this time, when you go, things will go wrong.

[High-pitched tone starts to fade in]

990: You must stay alert, put survival first, and trust nobody.

[Pause]

990: If I were you, I wouldn't want to wake up. But, unfortunately, you must.

[High-pitched tone takes over and D-9341 wakes up to an MTF agent shaking him awake in a prison cell]

MTF: C'mon! Get up! Get up now!

[MTF notices D-9341 awake]

MTF: You're being relocated. Now! Let's go! We got 32 others waiting for you!

[Player controls D-9341through the prison to the outside and into a van]

[Van doors close and player wakes up in original intro]

I'd like make to some adjustments and additions on this one, seeing as how it's the best one imo so far.

It would be wonderful for the dream.

Reminds me of those Games that have FMVs play during a Cutscene with Pre-Rendered Graphics rather than Real Time Models. Possibly a 3D Program could be used to do such a thing then have it rendered as an .avi or more compressed format. Blender was used to make Short Movies, after all.
