You've got to be kidding me.

[oliverplus]

Lyle! [that was an unexpected surprise--he can see you now!] Oh, it's so good to see your face! And I wish I were kidding, but that would be way too sick of a joke.

[not_that_lockon]

No kidding. Those are some pretty realistic holograms.

With people underneath...

[hesitantly] Have you been fighting?

[not_that_lockon]

As tempting as that was? I can't say that I have.

[oliverplus]

[nods, sighing in relief] Good.

[not_that_lockon]

Have you?

[oliverplus]

[takes a breath] Yeah. That's how I worked it out. The Doctor and I fought.

[not_that_lockon]

You're both okay, right?

[oliverplus]

Yeah, we are! But the fact that the ship could make us do that... It's worse than just seeing people as creatures. If you meet them, you want to fight them. You can hardly stop yourself.

[not_that_lockon]

I'll keep that in mind in case I run into any of them.

[oliverplus]

[not_that_lockon]

It almost seems too simple.

[oliverplus]

[shakes his head] I wish. They'll be attacking you.

[not_that_lockon]

[dryly] Joy.

[oliverplus]

[frustrated] I wish there were an easier way. Someone could really get hurt! [knows that he very nearly did, but he's not planning to say that]
