[the sphere comes above Oliver, who is lying in a tangle of blankets on the sofa in the Doctor's and TARDIS' suite. he's looking frazzled, and his eyes are open, as though he's having difficulty sleeping. heaving a sigh, he appears to give up just after the sphere has come on, and he sits up, working his way out of the blankets

[she's shaking her head and trying to hold back tears]

I - I don't know, Oliver... I don't think there were that many people down there. [there better not have been, anyway...]

[oliverplus]

[oh, Donna's okay, thank goodness!] I hope not, too.

Where are you? You're okay?

[shoutsforearth]

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I was getting ahold of some more medical supplies when that thing started.

[oliverplus]

Good. Are you still staying in your room?

[bit_impossible]

How many? Even one is too much.

And I told them to go up there...

[oliverplus]

You didn't know. We didn't know...

[bit_impossible]

But it was foolish to leave them there! That section of the ship, more than any of them, has been effected by the most change! Two cycles ago they weren't even there!

No, we should've gathered people on level 15. Or 14. I doubt if even the Enviro-dome will be safe soon. Or even these rooms.

[oliverplus]

Doctor, calm down. There's no way to know. Remember, it skipped the Enviro-dome last time and went straight for the shops. Anywhere could be safe--or it could be dangerous...
