( 'Trapped' was a word that Joan was not particularly pleased to hear. Never, in all the cases that she has worked, did being trapped have a good outcome. Victims were trapped. If she were a victim - if all these people were victims - who were they a victim of? What was the motivation behind it all? )

Look, I just got here and thought I'd ask a few things on here.

( She hadn't wanted to ask the others that brought her to where she'd be staying. Usually trusting her instincts, she had been patient about getting more helpful answers. )

Could anyone point me in the direction of the law enforcement around here? Or any type of hospital for that matter?

( Best to start with what she knew best. Getting to see how people were treated when they broke the law or if they were injured might prove to be useful. )

I'm Joan, by the way. Joan Watson.

That cart ride really helps out, doesn't it? I mean, I spent my time on it half asleep, and then I freaked out, but I think the tribbles helped out with that.

...By the way, if you find a furry ball in your suite, stick that in the freezer. [He grins.] It's a pretty long way to there, but it's really worth it. Better then an anti-anxiety pill.

Furry...ball...? ( some of the color drained from her face. the last thing she wanted to deal with at that point was some crazy wildlife )

So I've heard. ( something was nagging at her about living on the turtle. ) We're not hurting it, are we? By living on top of it?

Furry ball. [He gives a nod. They're pretty easy to find... oh! Let him raise up Babsy Malone in her cooled cage.] This is a tribble. If you find one, put it in the freezer. Trust me.

[He sets it back down and shakes his head.] We're not hurting it. In fact, I think we're helping it? That's the plan, anyway.

I'm not sure I'm following...and what exactly is a 'tribble'? And what happens if I don't put it in the freezer.

Plan? The Emperor's plan?

A tribble is a creature that looks like a furry ball. And if you don't put in the freezer, it's going to reproduce multiple babies in about 20 minutes, and then they will do the same. So, you're looking at an apartment filled with purring animals in an hour or two. The cold stops them. Like this cage, it's a controlled frozen cage.

[He goes off screen to set her gently down, and then comes back.]

Yeah. Fight to protect the turtle. Sounds easy, but we don't get a fountain of information all the time.
