[Oliver is sitting at a table in the Library, books all around him and a 2-inch Gandalf figurine sitting next to him, as if watching his progress. He has clearly turned the sphere on purposefully as he is looking directly at it, calmly and nonchalantly]Anyone ever see that episode of Stargate with the black hole? And that great scene in the Gate

But if whatever it is wants to help us, why doesn't it just get us out of here?

[oliverplus]

Yeah...good question. But maybe it can't. And that doesn't mean it's not trying to help us figure out how to!

[timeinterrupted]

I hope you're right.

[oliverplus]

[smiles reassuringly] We'll get out of this, one way or another!

[ilusionoscura]

Attempting to soothe the anxiety our inevitable death brings to you?

[oliverplus]

[looks at the cloaked man for a moment, finding his gaze unsettling--like he's trying to look inside him; Oliver would rather keep his demons to himself, thank you]

Nope, I just know death is never inevitable!

[numberonebaby]

You're weird.

[oliverplus]

Says who? You're not planning to die, are you, kid?

[divinelightning]

I hope the expert is successful. If you need more help I'm willing to lend a hand.

[oliverplus]

I'm sure the Doctor wouldn't say no to help! Have you been to the bridge?

[divinelightning]

Will I find him there?

[oliverplus]

Definitely. He and the TARDIS are working on this problem right now.

[from the look on his face, it's obvious that Riku doesn't expect this to be "fixed"]

[oliverplus]

What is it? I know you tried the Library already, but...I figured it couldn't hurt.

[dawnward]

Do you really think you'll find something in the next 48 hours?

[oliverplus]

Probably not. But I don't think I'll actually need to, either.
