--Ah hello! [taps the Sphere] Good to know this lovely little recorder still works, especially after that last barrage of festive decorations and goodies. I had a couple Christmas trees in my kitchen. At least they were pre-light [mumbles] and had no suspicious ornaments hanging off the branches. Everything was covered in snow too, but I suppose that's better than the buckets of slime dumped on my head in the bathroom a while ago... It's all gone now, even the trees. Thank goodness too, that was a lot of slime.

[wanders into his bedroom, expecting more stuff to appear and is slightly disappointed when nothing does]

Huh, all done with that, eh ship? Anyway...there was a point to--Oh yes! [pulls his coat out from the drawers and throws it over the Sphere. His voice is muffled and sounds like he's moving about the room.] If anyone was curious, I did check out the hospital wing--or rather Oliver and I did; he helped--and there's a nice robot there who can treat us if we get injured. He's a bit pushy, but flatter him a bit and he'll open right up. Not sure exactly what all he can do medically, as far as major surgery goes anyway, but he's pretty useful.

[beat. finally removes coat and he's put on his brown suit! and is much happier.] Better!

Unfortunately, we didn't run into anyone else; heard the lot of you chatting on this, though. Sounds like there's a lot more people up and about now, eh? The restricted levels are very much restricted and out of bounds, even for me. [does not like being kept out. is not a stays-in-bounds kind of guy]

Haven't been all over the ship yet. Blimey, this place is huge! And by huge, I mean "immensely and you better be wearing good shoes or else you'll get blisters" kind of huge.

Has anyone else discovered anything interesting or out of the ordinary? [finally opens the little box left on his bed and his blood runs cold upon seeing the note inside] Did...anyone else get a little gift in their room? Tiny box, pretty packaging?

No, no it can't. But at least I feel comfortable in your interior. Here, sometimes my teeth feel on edge.

If anyone, besides me, can get in, it'd be you, old girl.

Most alien vessels have the tendency to cause uncertainty and nervousness, but not in you, Doctor.

I came to the same conclusion.

[bit_impossible]

Most, yes, but there's something very wrong with this ship. Here you are, trapped in that body, with no idea where your real one, both yours and your current one with me, is; everyone's plucked out with no memory of how they got here, and even two people are here with very different backgrounds, yet claim to be the same person! I feel like I'm back on Satellite 5, but surely...the Daleks can't be behind this one again.

[hates that he has to admit this] I have no clue what's going on here. That's what makes me nervous.

[hisoldgirl]

Satellite 5? Daleks?

Then we shall have to discover what is going on.

[doesn't even realize what he just said]

Funny, that's exactly what I'm thinking. [grins]

[hisoldgirl]

[frowns because he didn't answer her question]

Take me to the restricted regions, then?

[bit_impossible]

I will. Ollie wants to meet us for lunch--no, you don't have to eat anything if you don't want to, but I think you should try something--and we can try the restricted areas again afterward.
