Having spent the day before wandering around the town, Sarah decided to take some time to explore her new "home." She hesitated to think of it as a home, except that the Doctor was bunking here, and being around the Doctor made her feel like she was home, in a way. Familiarity in strange surroundings. And the surroundings were certainly strange. It wasn't the worst prison Sarah had ever found herself in, but it wasn't good by any stretch of the imagination. Still, it could always be worse. At least she wasn't being poisoned by radiation, that she knew of.

The museum was a beautiful old building, even in its current condition. Sarah could see glimpses of what it had been in its prime. Some of the artwork still retained its former beauty, even mold-covered and tattered as it was. It had a sad charm about it Sarah found fascinating. It also served to make her appreciate her own home all the more. As soon as she got out of here, she was going to make sure all of her assets were well taken care of and properly enumerated in her will for Luke.

Luke. It had been two days since she'd last seen her son. She had no doubt that he could take care of himself, but she still worried about him. He would be worried about her, no doubt, probably more than she was about him. Hopefully, the Jacksons would look after him until she could help the Doctor get everyone out of this horrible place. She blinked, feeling the beginnings of tears in her eyes, and hurriedly lifted a hand to wipe them away. Giving in to sadness like that wouldn't help her think, wouldn't do her any good. There would be time enough for tears when they all escaped.

"Oh, hello," she said, looking up. She caught sight of a young woman across the lobby. "I'm afraid you startled me." She wiped at her eyes again and offered the woman a smile.

Sarah nodded in sympathy when Shannon mentioned being out of the loop. She still wasn't quite sure she was in the loop herself. She supposed she'd figure out everything if she were here for more than a few days. She held out a good deal of hope, however, that the Doctor's sonic modulator would work and that she'd be heading home very soon. "It's all right," she said to Shannon. "It's not surprising any of us are out of sorts."

Sarah looked over the building again as Ripley remarked on the dilapidation. "There are some rather modern conveniences here for the place to have fallen into such disrepair over a period of time," she said, thinking. "The petrol station, for starters. It can't be that old." A thought struck her, one she didn't like at all. "You don't suppose the place was designed to be this run down, do you?"
