Victoria was not feeling either quick or intelligent. She was overpowered with sleepiness. Whenever she opened her eyes, the room seemed too bright for her, so it was easier to shut them. Why was she so sleepy, she wondered drowsily. All the strain, she supposed. But she'd stayed up here because the Doctor was worried about something. There was something she should be on her guard against... something... her head fell forward on to her chest.

'You have hardly touched your coffee,' said Kaftan's concerned voice. 'It must be cold by now. Here, I will give you some more.'

Why does she keep on about the coffee, wondered Victoria, half inside the place of sleep.

'No thanks,' said Victoria. 'I feel much warmer now.'

'That is good.'

'I just feel sleepy,' murmured Victoria and then gave in. Her head settled back against the table and she relaxed into a full sleep.

Kaftan waited a moment, then went over to look at her. Yes, the girl was breathing the deep slow breaths of sleep, her head on her arms, her hair flowing on the table. Without wasting a moment more, she went straight to the control console, looked at it for a moment, pressed the levers and buttons, and taking a notebook from her pocket, pressed a sequence of buttons.

Below the gears of the hatch were engaged, and as she watched, the great metal lid creaked slowly down from its upright position, until it slammed shut with a clang that echoed down the icy blackness of the shaft.
