Luke was on his side coughing up water and gasping for air. Finally, he said, [color=#45adad]"Thank you, Sophia. You saved my life."[/color] He took the offered blanket from Zari and wrapped it around his shoulders shivering a bit. [color=#45adad]"There are some plants at the bottom of the pond. I've never seen anything like that. Admittedly I usually sawm in pools, not ponds in spaceships. But it seemed like the plant didn't want me to surface."[/color] He shook his head, then looked at Kyle and Manny. Kyle still had the rope, but Manny had dropped his end and had moved to Luke's side checking his heart rate against his steady counting. [color=#45adad]"Thanks, I know you guys pulled me out of there. If we hadn't had the rope..."[/color] He trailed off and glanced around at those gathered near the pond. [color=#45adad]"Uh, I feel like I missed something."[/color]

[color=#ad4545]"Oh, just the usual amnesiac drama. Zarina got all her memories back too. She and Kyle remember everything apparently. And Gordon is one good Crème Brûlée behind them."[/color] Tessa said. Manny helped Luke to his feet. 

[color=02f696]"You had us scared for a moment there Luke. I suggest you get something hot into you and warm-up too. Let's hold off on anymore exploring for a little bit."[/color] He eyed Zarina as he said it, hoping she'd pick up her bag and go back to tinkering with the Roomba rather than clambering around in pipes full of near-freezing water. 

[color=#45adad]"Well, tragically a near-death experience doesn't seem to be the way to waken the memories."[/color] Luke chuckled, but his smile contorted a little. But then he shook his head, water dripping. [color=#45adad]"Forgive me, I'm gonna swing by my room and see about a hot shower."[/color] Kyle undid the rope from Luke so that he could walk freely and then Luke started down the hall and turned into the room with the 10 on the plaque. 


Tessa continued into the Galley. At the machine, she ordered another carafe of coffee and enough cups for everyone. She glanced at Cal with her cigarette but decided to not say anything. [color=#ad4545]"Want some coffee? I made it for Luke, but I wanted a cup too. I thought others might too."[/color] She said offering a cup to both Ryanor and Cal. 

The Roomba finished its cleaning and then returned to its hole in the wall.

Manny looked at the group gathered in the Atrium still. [color=02f696]"I understand that you're all freaked out, especially at Cal right now, but we can't afford too much in-fighting. We might have to rely on each other to get out of here. I'm not saying to forgive her."[/color] He said the last bit directly to Zarina. [color=02f696]"Hell, quite the opposite. I don't trust anyone here, but I trust you all a whole lot more than I do whoever put us here. This place is more dangerous than I assessed at first."[/color] Manny was frowning. [color=02f696]"Something is going on and I don't know what."[/color]

[color=f69602]"They must be watching us. The question is what do They want?"[/color] Kyle cast his gaze around the Atrium as if he was looking for something, but whatever it was he apparently didn't find it. [color=f69602]"Sophia, that note you found was in the bathroom, right? Maybe They are polite and aren't watching us in there and that's why whoever had that room last left the note there. It survived cause They didn't find it. They probably didn't know to look there."[/color]
