Re: Chapter 6: Echoes of a Nightmare (everybody)
Nat realises that not all is well and becomes much more subdued as he watches the staff take over. He feels relief as the girls' eyes return to normal but Nat still has a gnawing worry. When the Doctor has stopped rushing around for a minute, Nat asks,
"Doc, er, what happens when they need to sleep again? Will they be okay? Shouldn't they see a specialist immediately? I'm really worried."

Re: Chapter 6: Echoes of a Nightmare (everybody)
Julie finally snaps out of it. She is surrounded by doctors and nurses. There's a bunch of flowers and cards next to her bed - she doesn't remember them being there when she fell asleep.
She carefully climbs out of her bed, and goes over to Elizabeth. She looks at Julie - and it seems that it takes her a second to recognize her friend.
"So it was you..." she says, finally, with a faint smile. "They tell me we were in a coma for several days... But I don't remember much before that." Her smile disappeares. "You told me when we were... there... that my friends from the circle are... dead. Is that true? What happened to them?"
"Their blood cell counts are very low, due to the radiation damage. Especially Elizabeth's. But we couldn't demonstrate any traces of that unknown black substance. In my opinion, the crisis period passed."
Dr. Jacobson sighs.
"But this is in regards of their physical condition. I am afraid that their mental condition was also severely damaged. I talked to Mr. Sandoval, Elizabeth's father, and he says he has the financial means to provide quality mental care to both Elizabeth and Julie."
The doctor starts scribbling something on his notepad.
Nat notices that while he was talking to Dr. Jacobson, a man and a woman arrived, and are now seated outside the room in the corridor. They are waiting patiently... but Nat can't help but see them as vultures circling their future prey.

In a low voice Nat says,
"Thanks, Doctor Jacobson, that's good news that they'll both get good treatment. I see the Feds are back soon as. Have they been hanging around the canteen waiting? I bet they want to interrogate the girls; are you able to minimise the interview time?
Those jackals don't care about the girls' health, just answers and the girls need no more stress. I'll field them as best I can now. You've been great, Doc, thank you for saving Julie and Liz."
Saying that, Nat takes a deep breath and goes out to face the FBI, closing the door quietly behind him.

"I'm sorry, Liz, I only know what Dr. Jacobson told me before I went back to sleep to bring you out," says Julie, hugging her friend. "He told me that Cavendish and some of the others were already gone by the time emergency services got there, and everyone else was dead. I think Cavendish and that woman N' must have been responsible, but I don't know the details."

Elizabeth's reaction is... strange: "So --- and 'N are not dead!" Her eyes light up. Then she drifts off for a few seconds. "I don't understand... Why would they want to hurt us? They always took care of us..."Mr. Handy wrote:"I'm sorry, Liz, I only know what Dr. Jacobson told me before I went back to sleep to bring you out," says Julie, hugging her friend.

I think Cavendish and that woman N' must have been responsible, but I don't know the details."
Dr. Jacobson shakes his head. "No, there will be no questioning. As the doctor in charge, I won't allow the interviewing of my patients. They are not in that condition, neither physically, nor psychologically.aine wrote:In a low voice Nat says,

"These two have been hanging around here. I gave them the information I must - but they need to come with a court order before I even consider showing them medical documentation or test results. Because that's what they wanted, which is out of the question."

"I don't really know," says Julie. "I think they were just using everyone, and I think N' was using Cavendish. I saw her face when she confronted me. It looked just like the void."

"Agent Russo, Agent Holmes." Nat nods to the FBI. "They are alive, just. Which is more than can be said for the other poor cultists. What was going on there- did you find out? And Cavendish and the 'N' woman have you caught them yet?"
