"What?"
"Explain, Doc" Jack said closing his eyes.
"Come with me."
They followed the doctor into the med bay, where he made rose stand behind an x-ray machine.
"A microscopic micro chip. A XTYMZ type, like you said. It's stopping the TARDIS from being able to go any where"
"But how did it get there?" Rose asked.
"It's in the small intestine, so I guess you swallowed it. It's absolutely tiny, you wouldn't have noticed."
"Well, that'll be ok, won't it?" She said, her face brightening. "It will just pass out."
"It's not that easy." Jack replied. "Once it's in there, it attaches itself to the side. The right medicine could get it out."
"But what if we don't have the right type? What then? Rose bit her lip. The doctor walked over to the medicine shelf.
They didn't reply.
"What I'm surprised at is that it has to be programmed. Somebody meant this to happen." Jack commented.
"Found it!"
"And…" Jack and Rose said simultaneously.
"It's empty. Think Rose. Did you notice anything strange about last night?"
The Doctor wanted to take Rose out, as a celebration for getting her back. They had had a great evening, dancing, meeting new people, and the food! Piles of anything you could imagine.
"Food is the Glommers specialty "The doctor had said. Rose had had a Blue Fish with several eyes, served with what looked like pink broccoli.
Rose glared at the doctor.
"Ok, stupid question."
120 minutes
"We have two hours." Jack interrupted.
"All right. Rose, look for information and medicine which might help. I will try to fix the TARDIS and Jack; you can help both of us."
"Fine." Rose watched sadly as the Doctor went out of the room. She gazed over to the pile of volumes that she had to look through. Here goes she thought.

"Spanner"
"Here"
"Screwdriver"
"Here"
"Ow!" The doctor sucked his throbbing finger, as he watched sparks fly of the metal he had just touched.
"O-Kay," he said slowly.
"Do you want me to kiss it better?" Jack volunteered. The doctor shot him a look that would silence thunder.
"Fine. I'm sure if you could just OW!"
"Hurts, doesn't it" The Doctor smirked.

Rose flipped open the 11th book, and scanned the index. There! Microscopic Microchips, page 447
She turned to that page, and read.
MICROSCOPIC MICROCHIPS
These miniscule chips can easily be hidden in food, as a method of putting them in the human body, where it will attach itself to the small intestines walls. It will be programmed by a certain computer to do a specific task, possibly after a certain time delay. This may range from getting information to harming machines or engines.
Method of Removal:
The blood of a ligger will painlessly remove the chip, but if that is not available, try eating a sturmip worm.
If neither of those is available, the Cat Nuns in New New York should be able to remove it easily.
"What if we can't? Stupid book!" Rose growled, and tried unsuccessfully to throw the book at the nearby wall. They were going to die, and it would be all her fault.
Reviews are nice.
