Attention! Attention everyone in the Enviro-dome! Don't know about you, but Oliver here [points to the young man resting just out of view of the sphere] was just attacked by...something. I tried to reason with it, but it apparently wasn't interested in any kind of discussion.

Be careful, and watch for discrepancies in the snow fall. The creature won't be too far behind.

We do have some medical supplies, but I don't know how much.

Try to distract if you can, but don't attack it! We very well could be intruding on its lands and it's just being territorial.

And all of you on the outside...keep safe and out of harm's way. Stay in your rooms if you have to.

[sighs] Doctor, it's really not a serious injury. [lifts his arm, waving it for emphasis and only wincing a little] Totally mobile. Nothing to worry about!

[smiles back] If you're sure, I'm sure. But we have to help the others first.

[bit_impossible]

Still, that was a bite from an unknown creature! And you're human! There could be all sorts of chemical reactions happening--though, hopefully staved off by those cleaning wipes I used earlier.

[pauses, forcing himself to stop.] No, you're right. Not like your arm is going to fall off!

[oliverplus]

...Doctor, if you keep that up, you're going to make me nervous.

[bit_impossible]

What? It's not like it ever happened! Not once has one of my companions lost an arm. Just ask the TARDIS.

[oliverplus]

I'll have to do that!

For now, I'm going to pretend you didn't say anything about chemicals and repeat: my arm is fine.

[bit_impossible]

All right, all right, I get it! Oi...were you ever such a nag before?

[oliverplus]

[grins] Were you?

[bit_impossible]

Nuh uh, I asked first.

[oliverplus]

I'm gonna have to say no. You're the only one who split hairs!

[bit_impossible]

What hare? I don't see one around here. Suppose there must be, since we are in a forest.

[oliverplus]

[shakes his head] Nice, Doctor. You just about managed to make me forget what we were talking about when this all started!

[bit_impossible]

[smiles] Almost had you, didn't I?

[oliverplus]

It's what you do best.

[bit_impossible]

Hey, I like to think I can do a number of things far better than that!

[oliverplus]

Considering all the times you've tricked me, Doctor, sometimes I wonder.

[bit_impossible]

[grins mischievously] Job well done then, eh? [stands and stretches his arms out wide]

[oliverplus]

[laughs, shaking his head] I guess so.

But if you're done nagging me, how how about we do something to help some of the other passengers?

[bit_impossible]

You said you were going to contact them right? Did you do that already? [eyes him]

[oliverplus]

Someone distracted me slightly. I'll do that now!
