Alex feels her senses reach out.  As she sensed before, distantly,
there are four beings here, three sentient and one semi-sentient.  All
the mind's are faint, in what feels like a deep sleep, beyond dreams,
their sensory perceptions cut off.  From the three sentient minds she
can sense little save that they are there.  From the sentient one
she gets stronger feelings

*Hurt... scared... danger to masters...*

They seem to roll around and around, the semi-sentient being's mind
on an endless loop.

Alex can tell nothing of physical health.  The readings on the coffins,
tanks or whatever they are would need a trained medical professional
to make any sense of.
