"But Emilie can't lose her mind, and she can't forget" the Doctor said. "So what will she lose instead...?" DG asked slowly.
"Everyone loses something in here" said Grey Emilie, but Emilie wasn't watching, and she didn't respond. She was staring at the officials as the memory around them faded away. "Hey!" Emilie's head snapped around to look at her counterpart. "Sorry, what?" Grey Emilie narrowed her eyes at her.

Kina looked between the two, "The only thing she's got left that she can lose, those things that come naturally to everyone..."

"Ok, I don't like the thought of that. So how do we get her out?" DG asked. "I need to know how she got in..." the Doctor replied.
"I think I know what you're losing..." Grey Emilie said carefully. "What do you mean? I can't lose my mind in here, everyone knows that." "Maybe, but everyone loses something in Limbo, that's why it exists." Emilie looked at her counterpart with a little fear in her eyes. "Ok, so let's get me out before that happens." "It's already happening..." Emilie looked down at herself. Her rainbow striped pyjamas were duller than they had been, her skin seemed greyer too, and her hair didn't quite have the shine she was used to.

"We don't know!" Kina said loudly.

"Someone must..." DG said thoughtfully. After a moment of silence, a light clicked on in her head. "Security footage. You know how security-conscious HQ is..."
"What do you mean? What's happening?" "You're losing them." Emilie didn't respond, she just squinted at her grey counterpart, confused. "You're losing them!" Her counterpart repeated, but louder. "Losing what?" Grey Emilie raised her eyebrows in a 'you really have to ask?' gesture and realisation began to dawn on Emilie's face. "I... I couldn't hear you..." Grey Emilie nodded sadly. "How many will I lose...?" "Depends how long you're in here for." "Is it permanent?" "More than likely." "I need to get out of here. Now." "For that, you need to figure out how you got in..."

Kina nodded at DG, "Come on," she said as she left the room and made her way to the security wing of HQ's giant complex.

DG followed at a fast walk, leaving the doctor to go back to Emilie.
"Ok, clearly nothing happened to me before the library that could have sent me in here." Emilie said, pacing in the grey stillness. She was struggling to hear everything her counterpart was saying, and it was frustrating her. She'd decided the only way to deal with it was to lip read, at least for the moment. Since the grey version was her inner thought, it didn't have thoughts of its own she could tap into. That would be the plan once she was out. "I'd focus on that official, he's likely to be the one doing things." "I need to find out who's behind all this." "You need to get out of Limbo first, so focus. Did you see that official again?" Emilie thought about this for a moment. "I think I did..." she said at last "...In the canteen..."

Even heavily pregnant, Kina was still faster than the average human and made it to the security section of HQ before DG.

DG caught up with Kina and panted, doubling over a little. "Super speed go with the species too?" She asked, half joking.
The canteen in HQ rose up around the two Emilies, bustling with people. They watched the memory-self collect a tray of food and sit at a table. A few minutes later, they watched the two officials walk into the canteen too. Emilie's memory self was busily chatting with some of the other Questers. Emilie focused on the officials. "Do you see her?" "Over there, do you see?" "I see." Another Quester entered shortly afterward, clearly having been summoned by the officials. He made his way to them. "So?" He asked. "What's my job?" "Take this," said the first official, holding out a vial "and sprinkle it over Emilie's food." "Why? Isn't she one of us? What is that?" "It's a trial enhancement for her powers, but if she knows about it, it won't work." "Bastards." Emilie said, glaring around at the three people apparently plotting her demise. "Hush, listen and watch." Her grey counterpart commanded. Emilie watched as the Quester took the vial and disappeared in front of her eyes. "Invisible? He's invisible? That's just not fair!" She exclaimed, but her counterpart merely hushed her again. They watched carefully as a few drops of liquid fell onto Emilie's food while she wasn't looking. The Quester reappeared beside the officials, who smiled. The memory faded. Emilie was left in the grey once again.

Kina looked round to see DG doubled over and nodded. "And that wasn't even fast..."
