'Will you stop doing that!' shouted the Doctor as he watched Dalek Jast examine and scan the TARDIS.
He knew what he was thinking, how could the Daleks recreate a TARDIS for themselves? The Doctor was the only one who knew how a TARDIS was made and he wasn't going to share the secrets, especially not with a Dalek. It was one of the few things the Time Lords had that they hadn't managed to steal, despite their efforts.
Jast hadn't listened to him and was now watching how the Doctor controlled it, scrutinising his every move 'oi, you. Look away' the Doctor said, glaring at the Dalek.
The Doctor looked back at the controls again but could still see the cyan glow of Jast's eyestalk out of the corner of his eye 'what did I just say?' said the Doctor, angrily turning to face him again.
'Daleks do not obey the Doctor' Jast grated in return. 'You did before, in the lab. I told you to use your weapon as a power source and you did' the Doctor pointed out, trying to out smart him. 'Incorrect. I was acting on the orders of Dalek Sec.'
Martha entered the control room to here them arguing, for at least the third time since they got the Dalek onto the TARDIS. 'Stop it, both of you' said Martha 'you're like an old married couple.' The Doctor looked horrified 'its not me, its him. He keeps picking fights' he said, pointing at Jast.
Martha rolled her eyes 'can I not leave you alone for five minutes?' she laughed. The Doctor gave a warning stare to Jast before bounding over to her 'so, Martha. Where should we go?' he asked 'you will return me to the Daleks' said Jast, interupting them. 'Are you called Martha?' the Doctor asked, sarcastically 'and no to going off with the Daleks.'
Dalek Jast was not happy 'explain!' he demanded 'I am a Dalek. I belong with others of my kind' the Doctor rolled his eyes at Jast's outburst. 'That's where you're wrong. Don't think they won't know that you're in the TARDIS with me. Knowing your lot, they'll want you dead the minute you get to them.'
Jast knew the Doctor was telling the truth but didn't want to believe him 'you lie!' he accused the Doctor 'you intend for me you be your prisoner! You will be exterminated, exterminate, exterminate!' he shouted, powering up his weapon.
'Jast!' the Doctor spoke with enough authority to silence the Dalek. 'You are not a prisoner, we are just trying to help you, not that you make that easy for us. The Daleks will know exactly what happened in New York, the rebellion, you saving Sec and the rest of us, you killing that Dalek. Do you really think they will want you back?' Jast had gone silent again now so the Doctor turned back to Martha.
'Anyway. What was I saying?... Oh yes, where to go next.' Martha looked at him excitedly 'have you got any good ideas?' she asked him. The Doctor gave her a massive grin 'oh, yes. End of the line, no place like it!' With that, the Doctor pressed several controls and the TARDIS dematerialised.

Martha excitedly burst through the doors of the TARDIS then stopped outside looking disappointed. 'Home. You took me home?' said Martha, bemused as she turned back to the Doctor, who nodded in confirmation. The Doctor followed Martha outside and shut the door behind him, preventing the Dalek from getting out.
On the TARDIS, Jast was trying to come up with his own plan to return to his race, it was going to be a lot harder than he thought if the Doctor wouldn't take him and to be honest, he didn't know where to start.
Ever since the events in Manhattan, his emergancy temporal shift had not been working for some reason so, until he was reunited with the Daleks, he was stuck on the Ka Faraq Gatri's TARDIS. Every Dalek's worst nightmare.
At first he had believed that travelling with the Doctor would be in his best interests if he were to survive but now those befiefs had faded and he felt he would rather die than spend more time with the Doctor.
Despite Martha's efforts, himself and the Doctor could never get along, this was one of the reasons why he had to get back to his own kind. He knew what the Doctor said was true, there was a large chance the Daleks would want to kill him but nevertheless he had to try. He would get to them, somehow.

The Doctor entered the TARDIS again and approached the control panel to find Dalek Jast blocking his path. 'Doctor, I demand to be returned to the Daleks!' shouted Jast in a futile attempt to get the Doctor to change his mind. The Doctor, however was not listening to him and appeared to be thinking.
'We will depart this instant!' continued Jast, still being ignored. The Doctor turned back to the door again 'yeah, yeah' he said to the Dalek dismissively as he opened the door again to talk to Martha. 'I'm sorry, did he say he was going to change what it meant to be Human?'
