[Against her better judgement and wilfully ignoring that little voice of reason inside that tells her to stay away for once (something she seems to do all too frequently of late), Lois has found herself back on the plane and is exploring.

With her she has a small camera phone and she's taking pictures of the ground, the sky, and just about anything she can find to take a picture of.

Come bother her!]

[Sudden Cally is go!] ...Hey, what's that? Looks cool; does it film everything or is it just when you concentrate a lot?

Oh, hello. [Waves the phone slightly.] Oh it's nothing special. Just a phone. I thought I could take some photos and put them on my computer.

...What's that then? Something involving religion or what?

[Here, have an utterly confused look!]

No. No it's just... a phone. You know, to call people with? [Offers it to her.] Have a look if you like.

[That is a usual reaction to Cally!]

...To call people with? That little thing can communicate with people?

Yes, you know, to speak to people with? Don't- [Frowny face.] Don't you have these where you're from?

People are just gonna say "you stood in a dark room and took pictures".

I'm not planning on showing them to anybody else.

Then why are you taking pictures?

For myself. To try and make sense of all this.

How could pictures help you? It's like what you're looking at but shittier quality.

I'll put them on my computer and google. I'm not sure what exactly, but I'll google something.

"I'm standing in space". Yeah. That's gonna be real informative.

Well I won't Google that, obviously. I'll think of something, I just haven't got there yet.

[He's having fun with this idea now]

"Help, hallucinating space".

"Floating in darkness".

You're just gonna get a lot of goth porn sites.

Think they'll believe you, just because you have those?

[bright smile] Now there's an idea. I wonder if they'll form properly.

I don't think- Well- [Sighs.]

No, actually, you're probably right. I'm not sure why I'm bothering. But I suppose it's better than sitting at home thinking about it.

Probably not, no but I'm not--

Captain?!

[Smiles.] Hello Doctor. Well I just thought I'd try, you know? I doubt I can make sense of it but I can do... something.

[Confused face] ...I don't think so; unless they're really recent I haven't ever seen any around. How do they work?

You're lost? Will the pictures help you build a map?

I don't think so. I'm just- well I'm just taking them really.

Well you put in the number. [Moves over a little to show her as she does it.] All of these have a number, you see, and if you know the number of someone else's you can call them, like this. [Dials her own voicemail and hands it to Cally.] See?

Thinking about it? What, it bothers you?

I mean, it's really weird, yeah. Maybe I'm just not a pensive kinda guy.
