Marcus awoke in an unfamiliar room. Unlike the day before, the walls were no longer plain white, but were shining grey marble. Elaborate steel fixtures held many candles to light the space, and ornate draperies hung artistically. His bed was firm, but much wider than he'd remembered, and he now slept under a luxurious comforter. Since joining the Rangers, he'd had to sleep in some very spare arrangements. His cell had been small and bare, and on missions he'd even had to sleep on the ground sometimes. He had never slept in luxury like this, and he could have sworn he no longer felt the desire to. Nevertheless, from what Tonks had told him the day before, this was still his own room, now shaped to his subconscious whims. Where the hell had it got this concept?

Sitting up, he swung his legs over onto the floor and was delighted to find that everything he wanted immediately was in easy reach. Marcus slipped into a pair of shoes, and tossed a black tunic over his body. He made his way to the formerly simple bathroom for his usual purposes. Not nearly as astonished as before, he found that the sink was now far larger than could possibly be practical, and the tiny shower had been replaced by an elaborate jacuzzi/waterfall combination. He had to admit, he liked the ferns, but couldn't imagine taking a bath in the mini-pool.

After he emerged from the bathroom, Marcus got himself fully dressed and headed down to the restaurant for breakfast. He'd felt no ill effects from the food he'd eaten yesterday, and was determined to be more adventurous this time. What could he order that they couldn't possibly have? Making his way across the courtyard, Marcus could see that he wasn't the only person with an interest in breakfast. He wondered about his fellow prisoners, and decided to meet more of them. Finding a table with a couple of other people already seated at it, he took a seat.

"Good morning, everyone. Enjoying our breakfasts? My name's Marcus. I only arrived yesterday. How about you?"

Intrigued by the exchange between the two Japanese, Marcus considered the response of each of them. Doumyouji and the Doctor, it seemed, were in exactly the same situation that Marcus was. They'd only arrived the day before, knew next to nothing about their situation, and were rather put out by the whole affair. Jun, however, had been on the Planet longer than anyone Marcus had met so far, and seemed perfectly content to make himself at home there. Marcus was still most intrigued by him. If the Planet was making abductions for its own mysterious purposes, why had it chosen Jun so early, and the rest of them so late?

"Well, right you are, Doumyouji. It seems many of us, Jun excluded, were brought here yesterday, and certainly do know as little as each other. Doctor, my apologies for my assumption. The way you refer to yourself as "the" Doctor confused me. Are you a medical doctor at all? I figure it would be good for us to know things like that, in case of an emergency."

The golems brought Marcus his breakfast, and he started eating. He'd given up on being paranoid about the food, and was now merely skeptical. He sensed that the Doctor was an intelligent and capable man, a man it would be good to have as an ally in this place.

"Jun, the name's Marcus. Sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier. Now, you've been here nine days. Has anyone else been here that long, as far as you know?"
