Another one of those weird backwards names. Maybe he was from Earth? Most people Anise knew with names like those were from there, so it seemed like a good bet.

"Um... everything, I guess," she replied with a somewhat sheepish grin. There were too many things on her mind to pick just one to focus on. "Like what happened last night, and all the things people are talking about on the bulletin, and that weird voice on the intercom this morning..." She stopped herself before she went on for too long, and sighed. "It kinda feels like a lot's suddenly changed here."

If something really had happened to the Head Doctor, then maybe whatever weird stuff happened was a good thing. But Anise knew they couldn't expect to be lucky enough to be rid of their one biggest enemy that easily. He was probably going to be back on the intercom later that day, laughing his stupid laugh and taunting everyone like the bastard he was.
