Appearing back in Eden before the sun had set Daniel headed to the column to let Tom out.
"Daniel? What the hell happened to you! I thought you were dead!"
Turning in time Daniel was almost tackled to the ground by Melissa's hug as she burst into tears.
"Hey hey hey, it's alright, I got back to Earth, it's all fine, it's fine."
Holding her and stroking her head he tried to sooth her while she cried.
"How could I know that? Your life bar dropped in chunks and then went entirely grey, whatever you were doing almost killed you in seconds…. I didn't know what to do or how I could ever know… "
"It's alright, I'm fine, it's okay"
"I didn't know whether to wait or look for you, I thought I was going to be alone here for years, why didn't you come back over? I was convinced you'd died"
"I couldn't afford to use the transfer energy, I'm so sorry, I thought about it but however much you suffered from that I know you'd choose it over wasting the energy"
