August 18, 0625h "Dinah!" Dinah jerked awake, disoriented. Her neck screamed in protest, cricked from the angle at which she'd fallen asleep in the chair. She reached frantically for the console, confused, trying to locate the source of the cry. It came again. "Dinah, where are you?" The basement. Babs was calling her on the basement intercom. "Right here, Babs," she answered quickly. "What's wrong?" "Not what's wrong. It's good. It's good news." She sounded almost manic. "Babs?" "He's responding. Oh, Dinah, he's responding. We need Alfred to get Leslie and - oh Dinah -" Dinah's weary face managed a smile. "I'll be down in minute, Babs. Just let me wake Alfred up." She was already half out the door. She never noticed the message waiting on the muted Oracle screen.
