The Doctor seemed to be in pain, but he waved off attempts to help him and he pushed himself up into a sitting position on the bed.

"Hush. I need to concentrate. Hopefully he can explain this better than I can." with that the Doctor closed his eyes and pressed his fingers to the sides of his head.

Percy didn't have time to ask what he meant before an image flickered and materialized in front of the Doctor.

"Oh hello." Beamed the translucent man in front of them. " Right not much time. I'm the Doctor, from the future. I'm here to help, sort of. Cryptic advice time!" He whirled and pointed at Percy, who started, then appeared to change his mind, and whirled again to face the camera. "First things first." He took a piece of paper out of his pocket and held it up in front of the camera for a little bit. Then he turned, putting the paper back into his pocket, and addressed the room at large. " Sit tight. They should be here in about half an hour." he checked his watch, " Yep that's about right. I'll see you later." he flashed a double thumbs up flickered and Doctor slumped over unconscious.

Jamie listened and translated as Sandry explained about her connection to her friend. He believed her. John however, was not quite convinced.

"So, your saying you can talk in each others minds and hear each others thoughts, only now you can't because something blocking you?" He asked incredulously. He looked at Jamie, Nico and Carter. " Do you believe this?" He asked them.

Carter replied, " I've seen much weirder things." Nico nodded in agreement.

Jamie shrugged when John faced him. " With all the things I've seen traveling with the Doctor, nothing seems too impossible any more."

Before John could argue any more Nico pointed and shouted, " Look at the screen." They all looked. Nico hadn't said much at all up to this point, let alone shouted.

They watched as a young man appeared in the other room. He whirled around a bit then came over the camera and stuck a piece of paper in front of it that said,

Try again now Sandry, The defenses are temporarily down, but won't be for long. As for you others you need to escape and make your way here. I''ve tampered with the cameras so you'll have half an hour before they realize you've gone. Good Luck.

He put the piece of paper back into his pocket. Gestured some more then vanished. The Doctor, who was sitting on the bed, slumped over unconscious. Jamie was stunned. Who was that man? What happened to the Doctor?

"What did that paper say?" Carter asked confused.

"What do you mean?" Jamie asked, it seemed plain enough to him.

"It was just gibberish." Carter clarified.

" I understood it."

"So did I." Sandry added. " It must have been written in my language."

Jamie ranslated what the note had said to the others.

" You work on your part of the assignment." She told them, " I'll work on mine." with that she sat on the bed and closed her eyes. She relaxed suddenly and none of them could rouse her.

After he told the others what she said, Jamie added, " Well lets get started."

Sandry found herself on the thatched roof of Discipline cottage. The sun was just setting in the distance as the Hub clock chimed the noon rest period. Tris was already sitting there, leaning against the chimney.

"Thank Mila! I'm so happy to see you." Sandry cried and rushed to hug her friend.

"It's good to see you too." Tris replied, " How did you get here? We've been completely blocked somehow. I couldn't reach you."

" We have a lot to talk about." Sandry replied her eyes sparkling. " I'll start..."

The Master sighed. He bustled about the room, checking wires and vials. He noted this one was a different color than the Doctor's had been. The mage's vial was a silvery color. He had no idea that would happen. No one had performed this experiment for centuries and valuable data about the procedure had been lost. He had the vial ready by the time the Rani stormed in.

"We lost video feed in the cells for about a minute, then it came back like nothing was wrong." She told him grimly.

"Do you think it's a technical failure or sabotage?" The Master inquired mildly handing her the vial.

She took them, " Not sure yet. We're still investigating." She frowned and said, " Still we shouldn't waste any time."" The next in the sequence is the demigod." She reminded him as she left. The Master scowled slightly at her tone, then began to bark orders to the guards.
