Victoria's
body was far from normal as Harriet's life support began a soft alternating
beep. "The machine is waking her," she said putting the cup of
electrolyte solution down, and slowly standing. The nausea had gone; but she
still felt weak: quite understandable, she thought, considering that during
the last hour her entire blood supply had been recycled through the machine
several times.

She
took the few steps to stand beside Malcome as the lights began to fade to a
pale blue. "A signal is being sent to her brain, to rouse her," she
said quietly as she leaned over and looked inside the canopy; her fingers
tingled as she touched the cover. Beneath she could see colour had returned
to Harriet's face. Then the girl's eyes opened, Victoria was expecting it,
but it happened so suddenly that it was still unnerving. She noticed Bertram
step back self-consciously. "She can't see us; inside it is pitch black
to her."
