Nadia's POV
A strange sound filled the night air. A curious whirring noise. Nadia ducked behind a stack of boxes. Out of nowhere, a big blue box appeared in the grass! A man in a trench coat stepped out. Nadia crept closer.
"This isn't Tunghai! Where are the beaches?" he yelled back into the box. A woman with red hair stepped out of the box behind him. She came close enough to see the man's face. With a start, she realized it was the Doctor! So the woman must be Donna Noble. They perfectly matched the descriptions that were aired ever since Nadia could remember.
"Doctor?" she stepped out of the bushes.
He whirled to face her. "How did you know my name?"
"Everyone knows your name," Nadia said.
He frowned. "What do you mean everyone knows my name?"
Nadia started as a clanking sound came from a nearby shadow. Another metallic sound came, it sounded closer.
"Quickly! Follow me!" Nadia cried in a nervous whisper.
She dashed down the alley. The Doctor and his companion exchanged a glance, then both of them started after her. The Doctor caught up to her easily as they turned a corner. They bounded down a ramp and into a brightly lit street. People hurried to get off the street as the big clock
above flashed 9:50 curfew in 10 minutes. Nadia turned into a dark alley stopped in front of a closed steel door. She dug frantically through her pockets until she found her a card. She stuck her eye to the retina scanner then swiped her card. Donna stepped inside right before the door hissed
shut. Inside, the walls were steel, and in the middle of the floor a tall circular lift stuck out of the ground. Nadia went over to it and pressed a button, the door popped open.
"Come on then," Nadia waved them over to the lift. When they were all inside, it whizzed smoothly downward. The Doctor leaned against the wall and studied Nadia.
"I didn't catch your name," he said.
"I'm Nadia Jones," she replied.
The lift ground to a stop and Nadia hopped out. On one side of the room, desks lined the space. On the other half, big steel boxes were neatly lined up. Nadia sat at one of the desks. The Doctor and Donna sat in the desks across from her.
"You never answered my question," the Doctor spoke suddenly. "How did you know my name?"
Nadia thought for a moment. "Every night, we get a broadcast, same time every night. They show your faces and your names, and if we see you, we're supposed to turn you in."
"Why?" Donna asked. "What did we do to you?"
Nadia shrugged. "They never say why."
"Who is they?" The Doctor asked urgently.
"It's the Silver men and-"
The Doctor interrupted her. "No, it can't be... What do these Silver men look like?"
"See for yourself," Nadia pulled a tablet out of one of the desk drawers. "The broadcast is starting.
The Doctors POV
The Doctor was aiming for Tunghai, but when he stepped into the dark streets of a futuristic earth, he got more than he bargained for. Nadia Jones... She reminded him of someone. He just couldn't remember who.
"See for yourself," Nadia handed him the tablet. The Doctor's face flashed on the screen followed by Donna's.
Then, a familiar metal face appeared on the screen. "Bring them to us if seen. The CyberKing has decreed it so."
Then a dalek rolled into the camera's view. "Obey on threat of extermination. The Doctor must be found, and the human girl. So says the Supreme Dalek!"
"It's a different one," Nadia looked surprised.
"What do you mean?" Donna asked.
"They've never said their names before," Nadia looked up at him. "Do you know them?"
The Doctor sat back. "The Daleks and the Cybermen. It can't be. The daleks are in a timelock. And all the cyber men were destroyed."
"So, you can't.. undo a timelock?" Donna asked.
The Doctor shook his head. "No, you can't... Unless... Can't be! They all died!"
"Who all died?" Nadia prodded?"
"The Galorians. They were the highest level of Timelords, and they had the ability to undo a timelock. I can undo a timlock myself, but I didn't let the daleks out. And you can't unlock it from inside which rules out the Master." The Doctor sat up. "There's another Timelord."
"Who do you think it is?" Donna leaned forward.
The Doctor looked confused. "I'm not sure, but- wait a minute! Taleen!"
"Taleen?" Donna inquired.
"A Timelady who was exiled for her refusal to comply with the will of the Council. Would have gone with her but... Anyway, to my knowledge she never fought in the Time War. Which means-"
"She could still be alive!" Donna and the Doctor said together.
Nadia looked between the two of them. "What's a Timelord then?"
Nadia's question went unanswered as the Doctor and Donna conferred with each other.
"So what are they doing here?" Donna mused. "You told me last time they met, it didn't end well for a the cybermen."
"Well..." The Doctor stroked his chin, suddenly he turned to Nadia. "Is the whole world captured?"
"No," Nadia replied. "The Scots and Irish have a rebellion, they're somewhere around here. They have allies in Canada and the United States."
"Out of curiosity, is there an organization called UNIT?" the Doctor asked.
Nadia looked around and leaned forward. "UNIT? Why'd you want to know about UNIT?
She sounded nervous, scared even. Very interesting.
"You know, United Nations Intelligence Taskforce," the Doctor pressed.
"That's what it stands for? Anyway, they work for those dalek creatures, and the cybermen too. If they you're part of the rebellion, they come and get you in the middle of the night."
Donna's POV
Nadia looked terrified. The Doctor mentioned UNIT and she almost fainted. From what she remembered, UNIT was supposed to be the good guys. Apparently not any more. Donna remembered something Martha Jones had told her. "UNIT not what it used to be. They've changed. And one of the days something bad's going to happen. I can't explain how I know. I feel it. And that's why I'm staying, I have to try to stop them."
On impulse Donna suddenly blurted. "Do you know who Martha Jones is?"
Nadia looked up from the tablet. "Yeah, she was my Great Great Grandmother. She died a few years ago. She was part of the rebellion."
