[The best way to find out about new places is to go and have a little look yourself, and after seeing someone - or several someones - post about being in Chicago of all places, that's what Lyle decided to do. Well hey, he couldn't help being more than slightly curious ( Read more... )

[filtered to the Doctor;]

Hey, Doctor. Mind if we talk about something?

[There comes a time in the affairs of man, when he simply has to stand up and take matters into his own hands. Or in this case, stand up and do what the next best thing is when you're aware of what your limits are, which is to delegate. Which is precisely what Lyle intends to do. He grins at the sphere, looking mock-thoughtful from his position ( Read more... )

[The holodeck seems to be a little like that one toy you get at Christmas which every kid wants to have a go at playing with, and if the surroundings visible through the sphere when it starts broadcasting are any indication, Lyle is no exception to the rule ( Read more... )

[Lyle's just standing at a point somewhere near, but not too near, to where the Doctor and Oliver's shelter is. He's gazing up at the sky - or the black hole in the sky, rather - and just looking really... tired.

[Lyle appears to be on the beach despite the rain, and looks completely unfussed by the fact that he's now mildly moist.]

Well, what do you know. Looks like the rain just made all of that crazy pollen vanish. Just a guess, but is everyone back to their original gender now? [There's a small grin for a moment.] Allelujahs, Neil and Oliver, I'm ( Read more... )

[The Sphere appears to be recording... the inside of a green jacket, at first. But after a bit it rolls out and floats up to show... a mess. Obviously NOTHING in here was strapped down. There's clothes and one or two books all over the place, and in the middle of it all is Lyle, sprawled against the wall rubbing his head sightly.]... Not that I'm ( Read more... )
