Scheherazade has wandered downstairs - she's wearing her usual, if a touch more modestly, for Mr. Cobb is a grown man, and she is seeing him without the usual excuse of scholarship.

He might give her a flicker of a smile. "No, no, not at all: I was just making a few last minute adjustments," he says, glancing to the PASIV device. He's still not sure what are half the widgets that the Doctor cobbled into it, but it got it working again.

"We call it a PASIV device: it helps us when we're administering the drugs we use, what we call Somnacin," he says.

"And it flows through one of these catheters, into a hollow needle that we insert into the vein of the arm, usually the hollow of the elbow."
