"I know, it seems to be a hospital but at night it... it changes into..." ZEX was struck by how insane he must have sounded. How would he have reacted, if someone came to him on Cerenkov, told him that night, everything changed and they were attacked by inexplicable monsters? That was Spathi talk, not sensible people. ZEX was not a Spathi, and not given to needless paranoia, and that's what this must have sounded like. Any protestations he had, explanations of what went on here at night, the rooms unlocking, the creatures unleashed, the apparent war between two parties, he was sure DAX would not believe a word of it. And why should he? ZEX had no proof, just his word it was true, and if he was insane, delusional...

"I really must sound mad..." ZEX said, not quite to himself.

Dating? Vlad had mentioned something about dating... some human courtship ritual, if he remembered right. So his human's alterego had a relationship with someone else! He hadn't mentioned it... then again, if he was in the same situation as ZEX, he wouldn't remember. "I see... he hasn't mentioned anyone like that to me. Perhaps he's forgotten about her as well." She hadn't been enough to stop him from succumbing to ZEX's charms, after all, but then again he'd always been hard to resist. That was almost enough to lighten his spirits a little. "But either way, I simply cannot leave him here. It'd be very irresponsible, after all the progress we've made together. He's still my human, after all."
