Session Start: Thu Apr 05 21:20:57 2001 * Logging #whosim to 'mindtrap5_20010405.txt' I'm glad I don't know what Rob is talking about, I'm confused enough as it is everyone else has made only one book appearanes Six players is a nice crowd. I am so glad Heather is here. Yup, and hopefully she'll be with us thru the remainder of the story? one more week Heather? I was surprised that Sarah Jane has only made 1 book appearance though ..

I've been around. $ I also wonder if any of your previous companions have ever been copied before and tried to lead you in a trap ? Home hasnt gotten to all of those stories yet @ These are popular on Andromeda Sirius, where you come from, right? @ ::creature gurgles, veins glow brighter as if some fluid within is pumping faster:: $ I am sure that you would never be fooled like that Maker .. Dont you think so liizz ? $ :: The Doctor nods:: Why yes, I do remember Sarah Jane Smith having that problem once. $ Maker is almost as smart as a cat you know .. @ You didn't think I knew I knew that did you? I've been there, a nasty wet planet. $ ::::Remembers Sandhurst lectures, "A busy soldier has no time to worry"::::: $ I would never decieve the Doctor, Irish $ Come on Ancelyn let's fins some weapons and try reenforcing the barricade in case the force field fails @ My uncle Nico said it was where society sent their drain clogs to breed. @ ::creature slurs something in a high key of C:: $ We really do need to get to the heart of this duplicate operation.

She needs to clean my letter box again.. @ ::winces at the sound:: Alright, alright, so you're touchy about that. $ Yes sir:::tucks the blanket around Guin a little bit better, then begins looking for weapons with the Brigadier::: $ Well, you'd have to look at the setup for yourself. @ I didn't invent the slang. I'm sorry. $ Maker Do you answer all your fan mail ? ::Irish asks sounding a trifle scattered brained:: $ :: The Doctor begins inspecting the equipment::: Well, the sonic field is holding for now. @ Look, why don't you just show yourself, stop hiding behind that organic overlay, and we can talk about this. $ :::Looks at lab racks :: Aluminium.. :::Tosses it aside:: Worthless @ I can be very reasonable. $ I am going to take a nap..::Irish goes to sleep on Maker's shoulder:: $ :::Surveys lab::: $ Maybe if we go up there, we can stop what ever it is they're doing? $We need to get on that ship, find out who and what this creature is, and why it is carrying out this mad campaign. @ I only want to know why you're here. Why earth, now? There are plenty of places offering better pickings than the minds of these people. $ Ancelyn, Give me a hand with this oxygen tank $ :: The Doctor looks at the Brigadier and smiles::: Well, Brigadier, if you can come through that transmant one way, we can certainly reverse it. @ They don't even understand warp drive yet. $ ::helps the Brigadier move the oxygen tank::: $::Irish murmurs in his sleep about his arch enemy being on the loose:: $ ::Sets tank on top of lab table:: @ Sveet lrrka tuuuomn ::creature gurgles:: $ The weight will help and if they get thru... See anything we can use as an igniter? @ You're gathering? For who? $We need an active strategy. I say that Liz and Irish and I go through the transmant to the ship, bring back the real UNIT forces, and perhaps find out who and what is behind this. <> $ Very well Doctor, Ancelyn and I can hold the "fort" $ ::Irish murmurs about fish being tasty and could he have some more milk:: $ An excellent idea, Merlin. @ ::creature gurgles again:: Gaaarrr gyyyrlle zeenns $ :: The Doctor smiles::: Keep this lab secure, and two brave kn ights lime you are more than enough defenders, I am sure. @ What? But that doesn't make-- $ We'll do our best, you can count on us. @ ::creature touches mind probe:: $ ::Looks at the Doctor:: Shall we? $ :: The Doctor begins adjusting so,e fairly incomprehensible swithces::: Well, we simply reverse its last setting and turn it on and step on through. @ No, wait! ::subatomic laser burrows into Jacie's temples and straight to her brain:: $ :: The Doctor whispers to Irish:: Come on, let's go find Roaming Girl::: $ "Once more onto the breech..."
