[This is probably not the Lyle you are looking for. When the sphere switches on, it looks like Lyle's the latest to be hit by the no-holds-barred anomaly extravaganza that's going on at the moment - so, dear Crucible passengers, you currently have a twelve-year-old on your hands who looks about 3 parts lost and uncertain and one part unimpressed.

Oh, and that Ulster accent of his? Is even thicker than it usually is.]

Neil? Amy? Where are you guys? If this is some sort of prank, it's not very funny. And you didn't have to steal my clothes.

It's kinda weird that you're by yourself.... did your family go missing too?

[Yes, he is talking to an animal. He doesn't care - who's around to judge him for it?]

[Her ears flick back for a moment as she thinks on that. No, her family didn't go missing, she's sure they're right where she left them. Talking to her is a common compulsion people have, so you're in good company, Lyle.]

Oh well. [sigh] It looks like we're both stuck here anyway.

[That was true. But they were looking for a way out so hopefully it wouldn't last.]
