Denise blinked. Straight to business then She noticed Doyle seemed a little tense.

Maybe he isn't feeling well


"Yes Lieutenant. We are going to follow the scientific method as closely as possible in order to figure this out." She considered briefly how to proceed before adding; "It's going to be interesting as we'll have to account for both a change of space and time. We want to find out how you got here, and how your presence affects the enviroment around you. We're going to need quite a bit of information from you Lieutenant, where you were, what you were doing before you arrived here. We'll want to run a number scans of both yourself, and of your vessel, in order to glean as much data as possible. Once we've gathered this data, we'll consider what it might mean. We'll put together some theories based on what the data suggests about your presence. "


The possibilty that he's fresh out of an asylum Nickatelli thought to himself. Don't forget that He frowned, very faintly. I have to get to Doctor Morris before she does


Denise was still speaking; "Once we have some real ideas to work with, we'll need to conduct some experiments....... (At that word, Denise thought Doyle had perhaps twitched slightly, so she continued quickly-)... particle generation, computer simulations, that sort of thing."


Denise glanced at Angela Wight briefly, who had wandered further down the hanger bay. The figure seemed to be staring at the Minuteman fighter intently. Denise considered what she had just said. I can't have him thinking I'm going to turn him into a labrat.... But aren't I? How can I get him to trust me?


She stepped closer to Doyle, looking him carefully in the eye. She spoke somewhat softer than before;

"All of this is not something that can be done quickly. There is a great deal of work to be done. I'd like you to consider staying with us for awhile. I'm certain we can provide for most of your needs. We can conduct the work on one of our ships, or perhaps at our main facility on planet Los Angeles; whichever you feel most comfortable with." She glanced at the Minuteman. "I'd ensure that you have access to your vessel at all times; you'd be quite free to leave whenever you wished. "
