Scannell has followed the Doctor, Juliet, Thea and McDonnell.

"Captain?", Scannell calls.

"I told you to stay in Engineering.", The Doctor glares.

"I only take orders form one person round here."

"Oh, is he always this cheery?", Juliet asks, sarcastically.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Elvis.", Francine finally answers.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"What? Really. Elvis."
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Burn with me.", Korwin says to Abi.

"Korwin, you're sick."

"Burn with me!", Korwin opens his eyelids, to reveal a blinding white light.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Martha and Riley are through.

"Mum, you're a star!", She gushes to her mother.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Now, we need to have a serious-", Abi's scream comes over the intercom, and Martha's phone.

"What was that?", Francine asks, suddenly worried.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"I've got to go.", Martha finishes the call. Korwin puts on heavy-duty protective gauntlets and a helmet, and lowers the Polaroid filter.

"Jules, Doctor, what were those screams?", Martha asks.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Concentrate on those doors. You've got to keep moving-"
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Forward.", The Doctor avoids her question.

"Impact in twenty seven oh six.", The computer announces.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The Doctor, Juliet, Thea and McDonnell and Scannell run in.

"Korwin's gone."

"Oh, my God."

The image of a figure is burnt onto the metal x-ray shield.

"Tell me that's not Lerner.", Scannell cringes at the thought.

"Endothermic vaporisation. I've never seen one this ferocious. Burn with me.", Thea mutters.

"That's what we heard Korwin say."

"What? Do you think? No way. Scannell, tell him. Korwin is not a killer. He can't vaporise people. He's human!"

"His bioscan results. Internal temperature, one hundred degrees! Body oxygen replaced by hydrogen. Your husband hasn't been infected, he's been overwhelmed.", The Doctor tells her.

"The test results are wrong.", McDonnell insists.

"But what is it, though? A parasite? A mutagenic virus? Something that needs a host body, but how did it get inside him?", Juliet thinks.

"Stop talking like he's some kind of experiment."

"Where's the ship been? Have you made planet-fall recently? Docked with any other vessels? Any kind of external contact at all?"
