The Wizard of Omega Zircon

Chapter I

The Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, and Harry Sullivan bundled back into the Tardis after a brief excursion on Omega Zircon. Sarah Jane stumbled slightly, bumping into the Doctor. He looked at her with mild concern, and asked, "You all right, Sarah?"

"Yes, Doctor, I'm fine," she said, then swayed, her eyes rolling back. The Doctor caught her and easily picked her up, carrying her gently to the sickbay. He laid her on the examining table, and then quickly and efficiently attached various instruments to her.

"Hmm," the Doctor said to Harry. "Heart rate is normal, respiration also normal. Everything is normal, but she won't wake up. Well, Harry, let's think about this, shall we?" He began to pace back and forth, amazingly avoiding tripping over his impossibly long many-colored scarf. Tapping his finger against his lips, he began to fire questions at Harry.

"Did you notice any insects anywhere around her?" the Doctor asked.

"No, I don't think so," Harry said.

"Did you see her eat anything?"

Harry chuckled slightly, then stopped when he saw the look on the Doctor's face. "Well, I would think the old girl would know better than that after traveling with you," he commented.

"Did you notice anything strange?"

Harry thought a moment, and then snapped his fingers. "She sneezed several times after smelling some purple flower."

"Do you think you could find this flower again?"

"Of course, Doctor, it's just outside"

The two hustled out to find the flower. Meanwhile, Sarah Jane opened her eyes groggily, and looked about. "Doctor, Harry," she called weakly, "where are you?" She then stumbled out of the sickbay in search of her friends.

Outside of the Tardis, Harry and the Doctor found the purple flower. "Oh, dear," the Doctor said.

"What is it?" asked Harry.

"I hope I'm not right," the Doctor said, "because if I am, then Sarah is in some serious trouble."
