[because Dero can't survive with the Brig being dead any longer, he's alive and on the Plane. he's inwardly quite disturbed, you know, by the fact he was killed and now is alive - and it shows on his face via... him just looking thoughtful, really.

the Brig takes just a moment or so before seeming to 'snap' out of it, and then he assumes his general neutral expression]

Well. Seems I'm in need of a new gun.

[which is correct, as the gun normally in his holster is gone completely]

One of the local residents here, Doctor.

Who?

Diva.

[his brow furrows]

What is she? What did she do?

She's a vampire, Doctor. She went on rampage.

A vampire. And I had no...

[shakes his head]

I need to visit more often. How many casualties?

...I'm not sure.

[sceptical stare]

You aren't? You?

[quietly]

What did you do after the battle?

There was a lot of chaos in the fight, Doctor.

[pause]

It needn't concern you, Doctor.

Yes, but after?

[quiet, insistent]

Of course it does. People died. You almost died, I'm sure.

...Please don't push this.

[incredulous look]

You do remember who you're talking to?

Yes, I do. And I'm hoping you can put aside that dratted inquisitive nature of yours aside just this once.

Not when people have been murdered and my friend has been hurt.

Fine. [he begins fiddling with his swagger stick, tapping it in his hand hard and quick] The reason I don't know how many casualties, Doctor? I was one of them.

[a completely stricken look, and all of the power leaves his voice]

Alistair...

[swallows, attempting a level voice]

They brought you back, then, the Twins.

I don't know. They might have.

[his gaze is intense, probing as he looks him over]

They must have. We ought to know...if they did anything. Changed anything.

[he doesn't like the sound of that, Doctor] What do you mean, 'changed'?

[pained, exasperated look]

Do you really think they'd do it for nothing? That they wouldn't take the opportunity for 'improvements'?

I don't know, Doctor, seeing as I don't hang about with them. In fact, I usually avoid this whole dratted place.

Yes, well, that makes two of us, but you must realise - surely you don't trust them.

No, I don't.

[slow breath]

Let me run some tests. See what they've done.

Fine. Though you'd think bringing back the dead would be enough of an experiment.
