Major Thompson seemed to notice this, though, and said calmly.
"Don't worry, your classmates reached the Citadel not too long ago. They are safe, I can guarantee that." Osho let out a relieved sigh, but his relief was short-lived as he remembered their predicament.
"Osho, you stay here and wait for your beast to wake up. Simon, follow me to the control room." Just like that, Osho was left alone in the room with the Doctor and Gale.
