The good Doctor was out cold on the floor, it was not that unusual simply as if he had gone to sleep. When his people slept they literally shut every part of there body down into a hibernation state other than there respiratory system and circulatory system and other vital systems. Any motion near or on his nostrils would bring him to instant attention as well as alertness as he lay there waiting for something to happen. He could have sworn he herd a voice, and that he was doing something important to him.
