Katherine's phone ring. Katherine got in her room, with a towel wrapped around her body after she showered. She picked the phone up and pressed it to her ear. "Hello?" Katherine asked. "Hi, Kat. You awake?" Rory asked.
"Yeah. What's up?" Katherine asked her big brother. "I need you to come down to the hospital and pick me up," He replied. Katherine looked at the clock, "You don't finish work until 12 and it's half eight," She stated. "I will explain later. Can you pick me up?" He asked. "I'll be there in 20 minutes," She said and hung up. She got dressed and grabbed her car keys, and headed out the door.
Katherine drove down the hospital and saw Rory stood outside in his nurses uniform. "Hey," Katherine called. Rory saw her and he climbed in the passenger sear, and they drove off. "So, what happened?" Katherine asked.
Rory sighed, "The coma patients were talking," He said. "What?" Katherine asked with a frown. "They kept asking for 'The Doctor'. When I mentioned that they were walking around the town, they told me to take the day off," Rory said.
Katherine giggled slightly and shook her head. Rory looked at his sister, "How are you and John?" He asked. "Um . . . Why are you asking?" Katherine asked. He shrugged, "I don't know. I didn't see him in the house a while now," He said. She sighed, "I broke up with him," She said. "Why?" Rory asked but she didn't answered, so he dropped the topic.
Rory slowly leaned forwards and switched the radio on. They both frowned when a voice came out from it, "Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated."
"What is that?" Katherine asked. Rory tried to change it, but it stuck on the same message. Rory shrugged, "I don't know," He admitted. They pulled into the coffee shop and they climbed out of the car.
Suddenly the sun began to burn a bright orange color. "What is that?" Katherine asked. "Look it's him! The coma patient," Rory said, pointing at a man with a dog. He pulled out his phone and immediately took pictures as Katherine frowned.
"That's not possible," She said. "I've been looking at them, and they haven't left their beds," Rory informed. He continued to take pictures of the man, who stood glaring at the sun with his dog sitting by his side.
Then Katherine saw Amy and a man running towards them. "Amy!" Katherine called with a smile. The man had dark brown hair flopping down into his eyes, and his blue shirt was slightly ripped, along with his brown tie.
The man grabbed Rory's phone as Amy put an arm around Katherine. The man turned to Rory, "The sun's going out, and you're photographing a man and a dog. Why?" He asked. "What?" Katherine asked. "This is Rory, he's a friend," Amy said. "Boyfriend," Rory said. "Boyfriend," Amy said with a smile and Katherine smiled.
"Man and dog. Why?" The man asked. Katherine frowned; She recognizing him from somewhere. "Oh my God, it's him," Rory said. "Just answer his question, please," Amy said. "It's him, though. The Doctor. The Raggedy Doctor," Rory said.
Katherine's eyes grew wide as it clicked in her mind. The Doctor was here. But he wasn't real, he was something Amy made when they were young. He wasn't real - Was he? Katherine thought.
"Yeah, he came back," Amy said. "But he was a story. He was a game," Rory insisted. The Doctor grabbed Rory by the shirt, "Man and dog. Why? Tell me now," He demanded. "Sorry. Because he can't be there," Rory said, "Because he's -"
"In a hospital, in a coma."
Both Amy and Katherine stared at both men as they spoke at the same time. Rory nodded slowly in shock, "Yeah," He confirmed. The Doctor grinned and let go of Rory's shirt, and grabbed onto his shoulders, "Knew it. Multiform, you see? Disguise itself as anything, but it needs a life feed. A psychic link with a living but dormant mind."
The man barked at them and The Doctor looked at him. "Prisoner Zero," He said. "Wait, like the one that was mentioned on the radio?" Katherine asked and Amy nodded. There was a sudden rumbling sound and Katherine, Amy and Rory looked up to see a large crystal like thing coming down from the sky, a large blue eyeball in the center, scanning their surrounding.
"See, that ship up there is scanning this area for non-terrestrial technology. And nothing says non-terrestrial like a sonic screwdriver," The Doctor said. He hold up a small slightly burnt sliver thing up in the air, the blue section lighting up as it began to release a high pitched sound.
Suddenly everything sprang to life. A car alarms go off and a poor woman's mobility scooter zoom off down the road. A fire engine goes past on its own, two tone blaring. Katherine grabbed Rory's arm and looked at him. "This is crazy. It's not normal," She said.
"When Amy's stories normal?" Rory asked. Katherine sighed and looked back at The Doctor. "I think someone's going to notice, don't you?" The Doctor asked. He bowled up a red telephone box, then the small screwdriver exploded to, falling to the floor. "No, no! No, don't do that!" The Doctor said.
"Look, it's going," Rory said. "No, come back. He's here! Come back! He's here. Prisoner Zero is here. Come back, he's here! Prisoner Zero is," The Doctor said as the ship flew away into the air. Disappearing. Katherine turned back to Prisoner Zero, who was grinning at her. Then he melted down the brain. "Doctor, he's gone," Katherine said.
The Doctor looked back to where Prisoner Zero was. "What do we do now?" Katherine asked. "It's hiding in human form. We need to drive it into the open. No TARDIS, no screwdriver, 17 minutes. Come on, think. Think!" The Doctor snapped, and hit his own head.
"So that thing, that hid in my house for 12 years?" Amy asked. Katherine looked at Amy with her eyes wide. "That was in your house?" She asked. "Long story, Kat," Amy said. "Well, 17 minutes till what?" Katherine asked. "Till the end of the world," The Doctor replied.
"How come you show up again on the same day that lot do? The same minute!" Amy said. "They're looking for him, but they followed me. They saw me through the crack, got a fix, they're only late because I am," The Doctor explained.
"What's he on about?" Rory asked Amy and Katherine. The Doctor snapped his head towards him, "Nurse boy, give me your phone," He ordered. "How can he be real? He was never real," Rory said.
"Phone. Now. Give me," The Doctor said, taking Rory's phone and looking through the pictures of the coma patients that Rory had seen walking around town. "He was just a game. We were kids. You made me dress up as him," Rory said.
"These photos, they're are all coma patients?" The Doctor asked. "Yeah," Rory said. "No, they're all the multiform. 8 comas, 8 disguises for Prisoner Zero," The Doctor said. "He had a dog, though," Katherine noted.
"Well, the coma patient dreams he's walking a dog, Prisoner Zero gets a dog," The Doctor explained before turning to them, "Laptop! Your friend, what was his name? Not him, the good-looking one."
Rory's face dropped, "Thanks," He said sarcastically. "Jeff," Amy said. "Oh, thanks," Rory said and Katherine giggled a little. "He had a laptop in his bag. A laptop. Big bag, big laptop. I need Jeff's laptop. You two, get to the hospital. Get everyone out of that ward. Clear the whole floor. Phone me when you're done," The Doctor ordered before pointing at Katherine, "You, you're with me."
"But -"
"No but's," He cut her off, "Come on then we haven't got all day." He grabbed Katherine's arm and ran off towards Jeff's house.
"What's your name?" The Doctor asked. "Why are you asking?" Katherine asked. "I'm working with you. Might as well have your name," The Doctor said. "Katherine," She replied. "Katherine what?" The Doctor asked.
"Katherine Williams. I'm Rory's little sister," Katherine replied. The Doctor frowned and looked at her. "You're nurse boy's sister?" He asked and she nodded. They got in Jeff's house and rushed into the living room. "Katherine, dear, lovely to see you," Mrs. Angelo said.
Katherine smiled, "Hello Mrs. Angelo," She said. The Doctor immediately ran upstairs and into Jeff's room. Katherine rolled her eyes, "Sorry about him," She said before running upstairs and into Jeff's room. "Hello. Laptop. Give me," The Doctor said.
"No, no, no, no, wait," Jeff said. "It's fine. Give it here," The Doctor said. "Hang on!" Jeff said as The Doctor took the laptop and sat on Jeff's bed. "Blimey. Get a girlfriend, Jeff," The Doctor said, making Katherine frown. She leaned forwards to look but The Doctor pulled the screen away so she couldn't, "Not for you eyes."
Then his fingers began tapping away at the key board, barley blinking at the computer screen. "So what are you doing?" Katherine asked as she sat down on the bed, facing The Doctor as he typed away.
"The sun's gone wibbly, so right now, somewhere out there, there's going to be a big old video conference call. All the experts in the world panicking at once, and do you know what they need?" The Doctor asked. "A therapist?" Katherine asked. The Doctor chuckled before looking at her, "Me," He replied and looked back the screen.
"Ah, and here they all are. All the big boys. NASA, Jodrell Bank, Tokyo Space Centre, Patrick Moore," The Doctor said. "I like Patrick Moore," Mrs. Angelo said and Katherine smiled. "I'll get you his number. But watch him, he's a devil," The Doctor said and Katherine giggled slightly.
"You can't just hack in on a call like that," Jeff said. "Can't I?" The Doctor asked sarcastically. Then six faces come up on the screen, all labelled as above plus ESA and CSIRO. The Doctor showed them a piece of paper.
"Who are you?" Patrick Moore asked. "This is a secure call, what are you doing here?" A man asked. The Doctor immediately went back to typing, "Hello. Yeah, I know you should switch me off, but before you do, watch this," He said, still typing away. "It's here too, I'm getting it," Patrick Moore said.
"Fermat's Theorem, the proof. And I mean the real one. Never been seen before. Poor old Fermat, got killed in a duel before he could write it down. My fault. I slept in. Oh, and here's an oldie but a goodie. Why electrons have mass. And a personal favourite of mine, faster than light travel with two diagrams and a joke. Look at your screens. Whoever I am, I'm a genius. Look at the sun. You need all the help you can get. Fellas, pay attention," The Doctor said, immediately taking out Rory's phone from his pocket and began to type quickly.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
"I'm writing a computer virus. Very clever, super fast, and a tiny bit alive, but don't let on. And why am I writing it on a phone?" The Doctor asked and he looked at Katherine. She frowned and shook her head. "Don't look at me like that," She said.
The Doctor laughed as he continued to type, "Never mind, you'll find out. Okay, I'm sending this to all your computers. Get everyone who works for you sending this everywhere. Email, text, Facebook, Bebo, Twitter, Myspac -"
"Not Myspace, it's awful," Katherine cut him off. The Doctor nodded and turned back to the screen, "No Myspace. She doesn't like it," He said. Katherine smiled as she watched the 6 people on the screen nodding their heads.
"Now, any questions?" The Doctor asked. "Who's your lady friend?" Patrick Moore asked. Katherine frowned as she looked at The Doctor. "Patrick, behave," The Doctor said and Katherine smiled.
"What does this virus do?" The man asked. "It's a reset command, that's all. It resets counters. It gets in the Wi-Fi and resets every counter it can find. Clocks, calendars, anything with a chip will default at zero at exactly the same time. But yeah, I could be lying, why should you trust me? I'll let my best man explain," The Doctor said and waited for a moment before glancing at Jeff as he whispered, "Jeff, you're my best man."
"You what?" Jeff asked. "Listen to me. In ten minutes, you're going to be a legend. In ten minutes, everyone on that screen is going to be offering you any job you want. But first, you have to be magnificent. You have to make them trust you and get them working. This is it, Jeff, right here, right now. This is when you fly. Today's the day you save the world," The Doctor said. "Why me?" Jeff asked.
"It's your bedroom. Now go, go, go," The Doctor said. He jumped to his feet and pulled Katherine up with him, and they ran out. The Doctor poked his head around the door, "Oh, and delete your internet history," He said. Katherine laughed and The Doctor pulled her outside with him as they ran towards the hospital.
