Losing Alice felt like being plunged into cold water.  All that optimism and love and cheer, that brightly burning child in his mind, gone.  He barely noticed Stanley disappear with her, or the steady neutrality of Harriet.  But his captor had taken Alice from him.

He doesn't know how long he'd been kept down here in the dark.  But in that time,

Dan had been staring into space. Literally. He was standing at the window of the space station, counting stars and watching the aurora dance over the south pole. Then he's staggering back from the window, showering the room with sparks and bolts of charge, and hiding his eyes with one arm. green fear, pain, without a discernable source. Was it Z? Could have been, could have been Rassilon as well, or any other of these psychic nuts in this flying tin can. Green was Rassilon's signature color, wasn't it? What trouble had the all-seeing, all-knowing gotten himeself into this time? Maybe it was from the planet below, who knew all the odd things that happened in space? Maybe it was his own imagination.

[electric_dan]

"What, is he talking to you? He stopped talking to me awhile ago...think he's in trouble or somethin'?"

[doc_w]

"No, he's not.... I can't hear him at all except this ... fear...."

[electric_dan]

"What so...you think he'll take us with him...?" Dan is much more concerned about his personal safety than that of Z's.

[doc_w]

"I ... I don't know. Something's happening to him?"

She has no idea. And that's what worries her even more.

[electric_dan]

"And we have absolutely no idea where he is?" He peers into Z's room. No Z.
