On her own without any backup to aid her, Miranda made it down the next flight of stairs. "Everything is going to be alright." She told the patients who were starting to mingle in the hallway. "Return to your rooms and wait for further instructions." Whether it was the uniform and tone or just the fact that they needed someone to take charge, the patients slowly obeyed. Walked over to the floor's nurses' station. "Keep everyone calm and in their rooms." She ordered.

"The moon." The nurse on station said pointing toward the window. "We are on the moon." She was a bit young, maybe twenty-one, twenty-two. Her eyes were a bit wide with hysteria and she looked as if she was going to have a melt-down.

Slamming her palm down on the counter, Miranda startled the nurse. "We don't have time for your hysteria, Nurse..." She looked at the young woman's uniform. "Taffard." She gave the young woman a calming smile. "You need to be brave. If you act frightened, the patients will sense it and get frightened. What we don't need now is a hospital full of frightened people. Can you do your job?" The nurse nodded, bravely. "Good." Miranda turned. Looking over the banister, she could see that the individuals in the lobby were getting out of hand. "Now, I have to go. Can you stay strong?" She asked the nurse. The woman nodded. Satisfied that she wouldn't start screaming, Miranda turned and walked on. 

As she headed toward the stairway, she almost ran into a tall man wearing a blue pinstripe outfit and a tan overcoat. He didn't look like a patient and he was definitely not a doctor or part of the medical staff. Not in that outfit. A visitor? It really didn't matter. She didn't have time to waste. Smiling at her the man greeted her. She smiled politely back. "Sir, I need you to go into one of the rooms. Someone will come by and let you know when it is time to come out." Seeming to ignore her, the man had already looked away down into the lobby. Frowning, Miranda snapped her fingers in front of his eye. "Sir, did you..." Her voice trailed off as she saw what had caught his attention.

Large creatures were marching into the lobby. People were screaming. One of the creatures removed what looked to be a helmet reveling a the face of a a two-horned rhinoceros. Now Miranda had seen a lot in her time, but this. If they were not on the moon she might have thought it was a bunch of hoodlums causing trouble but this... No. This had to be something else. She had never really believed in extra-terrestrial. At least not visiting earth. With the vastness of the universe, it did make sense that there might be life out there but to visit a backwater planet like earth? Highly unlikely. Well, apparently they did decide to come.

"Blos so folt do no cro blo cos so ro." The alien rhino said. All the other aliens drew what looked to be weapons. This was not going to be good. 

Watching the aliens, Miranda spoke sharply to the man. "Sir, go into one of the rooms now." She ordered. Not bothering to see if he obeyed she moved away, trying her walkie-talkie to see if it worked. But it was dead too. From her vantage point she saw one of the aliens push a human against the wall and shine a blue light into his mouth. The human cried something and the alien seemed to record it and play it back. Saying something, he shined a blue light on the man's forehead. After a quick second he marked the man's hand and moved on. Unsure at the intentions of the aliens and on her own, Miranda wondered what she was going to do now. Nobody had been killed yet. Maybe if she went down there she could help ensure that no one did get killed. But then again, who knew what the aliens wanted? They might just be marking everyone for something unpleasant.

Still muttering to himself the Doctor walked back and forth in front of the snowman. He couldn't just leave. Whatever it was was taking children. No! He was retired. Vastra could handle it. She was a detective and all and should be able to solve this mystery. A voice startled him out of his thoughts. He looked over and saw a young woman. A barmaid at a guess. Nodding, he waved absently. "Hello." Realizing how stupid he looked walking back and forth muttering to himself he turned to go. "No. I'm retired." He finally muttered to himself. Then the girl continued the conversation. Stopping, he looked back. "Clara huh? That's a nice name. You should definitely keep it." He told her. Nodding once more, he turned to go. "Goodbye." 

It wasn't that he meant to be rude, he just didn't want anything to do with people again. Or monsters. Or Vastra. He started to walk away and then stopped. Doing an about turn he walked back to the girl and the snowman. "That's quite a snowman you built here." He told her re-examining the snowman. He technically wasn't going to get involved. No. He wasn't going to do anything to find who was behind the missing people. Though, that had nothing to do with why he had come back. There was something about that snowman. Something off. When the girl denied she built the snowman he glanced sharply at her before re-looking at the snowman. "Hmm... Maybe the snow remembered how to make a snowman." He stated. Shrugging, he tipped his hat to the girl. "Goodbye."

Heading down the street he stops as a brougham carriage pulled in front of him. Sitting on the driver's seat, Strax looked down. "A ride for you sir?"

Scowling, he shook his finger at the Sontaran. "No. Tell Vastra I've had enough. Go back and tell her to figure it out herself. I'm done." He frowned at the short potato-headed alien. He frowned. "And have her look into the snowmen." He declared getting ready to go around.

Jumping down, Strax went over to him. "Sir, if there is something out there shouldn't we destroy it? Be reasonable!" 

Waving him off. The Doctor continued on. "Not my problem." Going on, he started to whistle a Christmas tune as he made his way to the park. Annoyed, Strax got into the carriage and rode off. Glancing one way and then another, the Doctor paused in the middle of the park and then pulled down a ladder. Climbing up, he disappeared into the cloud, the ladder rising up behind him.
