'This isn't possible!' Jack insisted.

'Right.' The Doctor agreed.

'How can they all have the same injuries?' Jack demanded.

Carlos rolled his eyes. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see both Indy and Marion were about ready to murder Jack. Indy was just more controlled about it. The Doctor had sent Dani off to look for anything else that might be connected to this.

'Okay, Jack!' Sara huffed. 'You made a mistake! Will you just accept that Earth workmanship sucks and you're responsible for this?'

'I told you!' Jack snapped. 'It was a burnt-out medical transporter! It was empty!'

'And yet it's the only thing that makes sense!' Sara snapped back.

'It was a harmless piece of space junk.' Jack insisted.

'Take a look around the room.' The Doctor told him. 'This is what your harmless piece of space junk has done.'

Dani arrived back at that moment.

'There's a girl called Nancy. On the night the med-ship landed, she went out looking for food and her little brother, Jamie, followed her. He got hit by a bomb but, ever since, she's been chased by a kid who looks exactly like Jamie and this lot here—' Dani gestured to the ward, '—and keeps asking "are you my mummy"?'

The Doctor cast a critical glance around the ward. Then he looked at Dani.

'Did the kid show up?' he asked.

'Yes.' Dani answered. 'His room is upstair—bloody hell!'

She cut off as all the victims rose and started cornering them all. All of them asking "are you my mummy" and "mummy". The Doctor, Dani, Rose, Jack, Sara, Carlos, Indy and Marion all backed into a corner. The Doctor, seemingly unconsciously, moved his arm in front of Rose. Indy's hand reflexively went to his whip.

'I don't like these odds.' He muttered, his other hand catching Marion's.

'Doctor?' Dani asked. 'Either one! I don't care!'

The Doctor glanced back at Indy. Indy glanced at him. The Doctor came up with a wild idea. He faced forwards again.

'Go to your room.' The Doctor said to the victims.

The victims stopped and everyone behind the Doctor looked around at each other.

'Go to your room.' The Doctor repeated. 'I mean it. I'm very, very angry with you. I'm very, very cross. Go to your room!'

The victims slowly turned and walked back to their beds. Then it was silent again. The Doctor breathed a sigh of relief.

'I'm really glad that worked.' He said. Then he looked at Rose. 'Those would have been terrible last words.'

'Yeah.' Dani agreed, stepping forward. 'Really.'

'Merged consciousness?' Dani suddenly asked.

Indy looked up at her. He was standing next to Marion, who was so physically and emotionally drained she was sitting down and leaning into him for support. He had an arm wound around her shoulders and he held her. The Doctor looked up at Dani.

'Most likely.' He said. 'The main consciousness is probably that of a child. How old was Nancy's brother?'

'Looked about four or five.' Dani answered with a shake of her head. 'Something was stuffing with his life-force. I couldn't get a clear feel of it. I barely even registered it was human, but I did notice something else.'

'What's that?' the Doctor asked.

'I don't think Nancy's completely honest about her relation to Jamie.' Dani answered. 'They're related, I could tell that. Just not in the way she said.'

The Doctor looked thoughtful. Then he glanced over at Marion. Then up at Indy.

'Think she can walk?' he asked.

'I'm fine.' She said, standing shakily.

Indy smiled good-naturedly at her and slid an arm around her waist.

'Good.' The Doctor said. 'Come on, the lot of you.'

'Are we getting out of here?' Rose asked.

'We're going upstairs.' The Doctor answered. 'Dani, you said you know where the room is?'

Dani nodded. The Doctor turned his attention to Jack.

'You stay where I can see you and do as I say.' He ordered.

Carlos and Sara laughed. Indy decided that he liked this guy. And he could see how Dani ended up the way she did if she was raised by him.

'A child?' Jack asked as they walked in. 'Guess this explains "mummy".'

They all wandered into the room. Dani shook her head and walked into the room. She turned to face the Doctor.

'Doctor, what's that?' she asked. 'Coming out of the walls?'

He walked in and started pacing around the room. He shook his head. The others wandered in. The Doctor was becoming increasingly agitated.

'There are these children.' He said. 'Living rough around the bomb sights. They go out, looking for food, during air raids. Suppose one of them was there when this thing, whatever it was, landed.'

'It was a med ship.' Jack insisted again. 'It was harmless.'

'Yes, you keep saying: harmless.' The Doctor said bitterly. 'Suppose one of them was affected—altered.'

'Altered how?' Rose asked.

'It's afraid.' The Doctor said. 'Terribly afraid and powerful. It doesn't know it yet, but it will do.'

He let out a laugh.

'It's got all the power of a God and I just sent it to its room.' He remarked.

'Doctor,' Dani said, 'you sent it to its room. This is its room.'

They all twisted around. The boy was in the doorway.

'Carlos?' Indy asked. 'Remember that thing you did back in '38 to get us out of the temple?'

'You want me to do it now?' Carlos asked.

'Of course I do.' Indy answered.

'The Shadow Shift?' Dani asked.

'Yeah,' Carlos agreed, 'where did you come up with that name anyway?'

'Move it!' Sara elbowed him in the stomach.

The world flashed before their eyes…

…and they all fell to their butts on Jack's ship. The Doctor, Dani and Indy were the first to stand. Carlos and Sara had landed on their feet, long since used to the shift, Indy helped Marion up and the Doctor pulled Rose to her feet. Jack stumbled up and fell into the pilot's chair.

'Let's go, Captain.' Carlos said, waving his hand. 'The crash site. The only way to know for sure is for us to feast our eyes on the contents of that casket.'
