It was Percy who asked,"What happens now?"

Just then, the video screen in the corner, which Percy had not noticed before, flickered on. The on light of the camera next to it also came on. Mutters and gasps filled the room as they realized what was on the screen. It was a room completely identical to the one they were in, only there were different people in it. His eyes widened as they fixed on someone lying on the bed in the other room.

"Nico!"

Sandry looked up when the screen in the corner lit up like a scrying bowl, it was a welcome distraction from the buzzing in her head. It prevented her from concentrating on her connection to her friends. She struggled to remember what had happened. She remembered Tris calling them to the Hub, because Niko had scried something that concerned them. She had gotten there before Briar and Daja, and she and Tris had walked inside the Hub. That was where her memory blanked out. The first thing she remembered clearly after that was walking through the door into this room. Also why did everyone but Jamie speak a different language? The others seemed to understand him when he talked, but she did too. It was decidedly strange.

She glanced around noticing that the rest of the people in the room were looking at the screen too. She looked closer at the screen, there was Tris! Where were Briar and Daja?

John had only glanced at the screen, then muttered, " Oh I knew he would be alright." He waved at the screen, then went back to tending the unconscious boy. He seemed to be looking at the tall dark-haired man on the screen.

"oh, there you are Doctor." Jamie said with relief," I was gettin worried." He was looking at the shorter man with the strange haircut.

Carter was muttering something not realizing he could be heard, not that she could understand him. He kept glancing at the girl with streaks of colors in her hair.

That must mean that the comatose boy belonged with the remaining boy in the other room. He seemed to be pretty anxious about him.

She focused again on trying to connect to Tris. Then gasped as the buzzing increased and her head started pounding. She sat down heavily on the bed her head clutched in her hands.

Percy watched as Nico lay unconscious in the other room. He felt guilty. Nico had come to get him after some old scrolls with some new prophecies had been discovered. He had been teasing Nico about shadow travel when they were ambushed at the base of Half-Blood Hill. Taken by surprise they were quickly disarmed, They kept struggling however and their assailants had knocked Nico unconscious. Percy kept quiet after that. Someone injected something into his arm and he didn't remember anything else before waking up here with Sadie. Something about her bothered him but, he couldn't figure out what it was.

"Dear, Dear." The Doctor muttered waving to someone on the screen. "This is a predicament isn't it." He pulled a recorder out of his pocket, thought for a moment, then out it back.

Percy noticed that some of the other people in the other room were looking worse for wear. He wondered briefly wondered why they were all here then forgot that thought as Nico began to stir on the screen.

Percy jumped, when a pleasant male voice spoke from the direction of the screen.

-"Hello there. I see you've settled in quite nicely. Lets get to the point shall we? You are here to participate in an experiment. We'll be coming for the first subject soon. Goodbye for now."- The voice stopped as suddenly as it started.

Sandry had discovered that the buzzing in her head lessened when she didn't try to contact Tris. She listened to the voice from the screen still puzzling over the block in her head. She watched as the door to the other cell opened. A strange looking figure stood in the doorway its mouth moved as if it were talking. She saw the shorter man in the other cell glance at the screen.

"Do nae do it Doctor." She heard Jamie mutter shaking his head as the other man glanced at him. The strange figure spoke some more and the other man stood smiled at the screen reassuringly and followed him out of the room. Jamie shook his head again then went to go sit on the bed next to the boy. He told them his name was Nico, He had a different accent from the others. The room became silent as everyone realized a simple truth. There was nothing they could do but wait.

As his Tardis materialized her sensors detected two other Tardises in the same room. Landing seemed so different without the familiar whirring noises of the brakes. Despite what River thought the Doctor did know how to land quietly when sneaking into places. Usually he didn't just because it is not as much fun that way. But, he didn't remember hearing the noise before so he left the brake off. He also turned off the translator unit, for a reason he remembered telling himself before, then he parked her properly. He clapped his hands and twirled around to the hallway. Where had he left that equipment? Where had he left the equipment room for that matter? Nevermind. He would find it. It was wibbly wobbly like that.
