Jamie finally understands what everyone is talking about.

"Doctor, what does this device do?" Zoe asks.

"oh that? It's a neuron-amplifier. It makes you smarter, don't worry about it Zoe, you're smart enough."

"why thank you Doctor."

"Aye, to smart fer yer own good if ya ask me." Jamie teases.

"oh be nice Jamie." the Doctor admonished.

"don't worry, you're just as bad." Jamie responds.

The Doctor gives him a hurt look then wanders with Zoe to the next object of intrigue. The inventor walks up behind Jamie, "anything of interest?"

he jumps slightly, "eh, um, I'm just lookin'."

she smiles, "why?"

"jus'... who are you?"

"I'm the head scientist here. Tell me, why did this grab your attention?"

he thinks a moment, "eh, I've kinda wondered what it was like been the smartest in tha room. I mean, the Doctor an' Zoe are both really smart an' they talk with big words but I canna understand any of it."

"I see. Do you want to try it on?"

"I don' know, the Doctor might not want me ta..."

"trust me it's okay. You see, I created it. I've run many tests and all were successful, the affects are only temporary anyway."

"really? I still need ta ask..."

"are you sure? can make your own choices?"

"Aye, I can."

"it's your choice."

he looks at his friends, "if it only lasts fer a little bit... alright, I try it."

"good. Come with me."

she straps the device to his head as he sits on the medical bed, "now, it will knock you out for a few minutes but you'll feel yourself getting smarter after you wake up. The only thing I want you to do, when it wears off come and tell me everything that happened, okay?"

"alright." the device powers on and he fights to stay awake. When he woke up he had a massive headache. He blinks as she shines a light in his eyes.

"good, eyes responding normally. Can you stand?"

"I think so." he gets up and she helps him wobble out the room.

"remember, come see me when it wears off."

he waves goodbye and she talks into a recording device. "journal entry 1,456: my third human test subject's response to the stimuli has begun much the same as the other two. Still investigating failure of brain connection in subjects one and two. Modification to system may have solved problem. End journal entry."

oh no! Will Jamie be brain dead? Let's wait and see.
