He came. The man the telepaths have been calling to, the man Charlie saw, he actually came. In a big, blue, noisy box. I know what to call him now.
The Doctor.
Not the most reassuring name, at least not from our point of view. Doctors have never done us much good before. This Doctor, though, I trust.
He says he'll help. I had to explain why we need him, who we are, all that kind of thing. He went very quiet and very, very angry. I'm glad he's on our side.
We decided weeks ago that I should be spokesperson; partly because I'm the oldest, partly because I'm good at explaining and mostly because everyone's used to me being in charge.
All the same, it was scary talking to the Doctor. Charlie hasn't seen much, but judging by what he has seen this is a bad man to cross. And, it turns out, a man with a ver cool ship and an equally cool and highly efficient method of opening doors.
He's opening the secure lab, looking for the activation drugs. I have to get the others. It's a good thing Dave reprogrammed all the doors.
