Oink! – Daleks in Manhattan
The Doctor, Martha, and Rose were looking up at the Statue of Liberty, cool wind blowing in their faces.
"That's so brilliant; I've always wanted to go to New York, I mean the real New York not the New-new-new-new-new…" Said Martha trailing off,
"I came here once, well, will come here, well. I dunno, timelines annoy me."
"What year is it?"
"Well the Empire State building's not finished. That makes it…"
"November 1st 1930." Said Martha picking up a newspaper, "Nearly eighty years ago."
"You could say that." Said Rose with a smile,
"It's funny, you see all thoughs film reels in black and white, it seems so far away, but here we are, it's real, it's now!"
"You never get over it. I remember once just after meeting the Doctor, we just landed in 1860, and I turned to the Doctor and I said; Think about it though, Christmas 1860, happened once, just once, and it's gone it's finished, it'll never happen again. Except for you, you can go to days that are dead and gone, a hundred thousand sunsets ago, no wonder you never stay still."
"Not a bad life." Quotes the Doctor,
"Better with two." Rose says with a laugh,
"Why do I feel like a third wheel here?"
"Sorry Martha." Said Rose and the Doctor together, then the three of them collapsed into laughter,
* * *
"Whoa…" Said the Doctor bending down in the dank, dark, dripping sewer, he Martha, Rose, Frank and Solomon all stopped and looked at the green jellyfish-like creature on the wet floor.
"Is it radio active or something?" Said Martha as she moved to get a closer look,
"God it stinks." Said Rose putting her torch opposite the Doctor's on the other side of the creature.
"Yeah, it's gone off, what ever it is." The Doctor put on his glasses and picked up the creature.
"And you've got to pick it up."
"At least he doesn't taste it, that's one of his weird habits." Rose muttered as he sniffed it slightly,
"Ergh." Martha shivered
"Shine your torch through it... Composite organic matter. Martha; medical opinion?"
"Well it's not Human, I know that."
"Could it be a sub-species? I mean I don't recognise it and you two don't seem to either, so is it the off-spring of an unlikely couple?" Suggested Rose touching the slimly green thing,
"Could be. But wait, we must be at least half a mile and I don't see any sign of a collapse do you? So why did Diagoras send us down here?"
"Where are we now? What's up above?" Asked Martha
"Well, we're right under neath Manhattan."
* * *
They had walked for far more then half a mile and still no sign of a collapse.
"Solomon I think it's time you took these three back. I'll be much quicker on my own." Rose opened her mouth to object, but before she could make a sound there was an echoing squeal.
"What the hell was that?"
"HELLO?" Called Frank
"Shh. Frank." Hissed the others,
"What if it's one of the folk gone missing. You'd be scared half mad down here on your own."
"You think they're still alive?"
"There ain't been any bodies found down here. Maybe they just got lost." They shined there torches in every direction as the squeal sounded again.
"I never heard anybody make a sound like that." Muttered Solomon,
"Where's it coming from?" The Doctor was shining his torch in front of him as he slowly walked down a turn in the sewer, following the sound.
"Sounds like there's more and more." Stated Frank,
"This way."
"No, that way." The five of them were looking in different directions, Martha and Rose shining there torches to the same spot, lighting up a sitting figure.
"Doctor." Breathed Martha her voice scared. The men turned and looked at the figure.
"Who are you?" Asked Solomon,
"Are you lost?" Asked Frank, as the creature took a heavy breath, "Can you understand me? I've been thinking about folk lost do-"
"It's alright Frank." Interrupted the Doctor, "Just stay back." He walked up to the figure talking nothings to it. He shined his torch into its face, not jumping when he saw it resembled a pig. "Oh but what are you?"
"Is that some kind of Carnival mask?"
"No it's real." Said the Doctor turning to face Solomon, "I'm sorry." He said to the pig creature, "But listen to me. I promise I can help. Who did this to you?" He asked not hearing the patter of feet, no seeing the shadows pass over him.
"Doctor, come back here." Said Rose. The Doctor looked up and saw five or so other pig creatures, snorting slightly as they walked closer,
"Doctor!" The Doctor stood and started to back away,
"Actually, good point."
"They're following you."
"Yea, I noticed that. Thanks. Well then Martha, Rose, Frank, Solomon."
"What?"
"Umm, basically, RUN!" And they ran the pig creatures chasing, he grabbed Rose's hand, "Just like old times!" Martha stopped suddenly,
"Where are we going?!"
"This way!" yelled the Doctor turning a corner and pulling Rose with him, they ran passed another corner but Rose turned and said, "There's a ladder, come on!" And she ran down the turn towards the ladder, she pulled out her sonic screwdriver and opened the man-hole cover, lifting it up and climbing trough, next came the Doctor, then Martha, 'Frank!' they heard Solomon yell before he came up.
"Come on Frank." Said the Doctor as he and Solomon held out arms to pull him up. But the pigs were stronger and they pulled Frank out of their grip.
"No!" yelled the Doctor, but Solomon pulled him out and put the cover back on the man hole.
* * *
The Doctor switched on a stage light and aimed it at the jellyfish creature they had found in the sewers. He had it wired into a radio – home made DNA scanner. He bent down putting his glasses on, he and Rose examining it.
"This is artificial." Muttered the Doctor, "Genetically engineered."
"I was kinda right then." Said Rose,
"Who's ever this is, huoh you're clever."
"Well what is it?"
"Fundamental DNA type, 467-989. 989 oh come on that means planet of origin…" He looked up and Rose darkly.
"Where Doctor?"
"Skaro." And he ran off Rose running confused after him.
* * *
"Wait!" Yelled Martha, and she ran of at the slightly different pig creature, "But you're different to the others! Just wait!" She opened the door and ran through, only to hear the clanking of metal on metal.
* * *
"Where is she? Where's Martha?"
"I don't know she ran off the stage." Said Tallulah, the Doctor stared at her for a moment when they heard a long female scream. He ran towards the sound, Rose and Tallulah close behind him.
"Martha?" He called as he walked into the props room; he walked along a short way to the man hole. He grabbed his coat and put in on.
"Where 'e ya goin'?"
"They've taken Martha." Said Rose, helping the Doctor lifts the cover,
"Who's taken 'er?" They ignored her, the Doctor swinging his feet in and lowering him self onto the ladder. "What are you doin'?" Rose didn't answer as she climbed down the ladder, "I said; what the hell are ya doin'?"
"No, no, no, no, no way. You're not coming." Said the Doctor as a robe clad Tallulah started to descend the ladder.
"Tell me what's going on." She demanded
"There's nothing you can do, go back."
"Look, whoever's taken Martha they could've taken Laszlo. Couldn't they?"
"Tallulah you're not safe down here." The Doctor said gravely,
"Then that's my problem. Come on, which way?"
"This way." Said Rose and the three of them walked along the dank sewer.
* * *
"Let me go!" Yelled Martha struggling in the pig creatures grip, they threw her at a wall and snorted in her face. Then another pig brought a trail of people following, including Frank.
"Martha."
"You're alive. Oh!" She hugged him tight, "I though we'd lost you." A pig shoved them. "Alright! Alright, we're moving." They walked slowly,
"Where are they taking us?"
"I don't know but we can find out what's going on down here."
* * *
"When you say 'they've' taken her, whose 'they' exactly? And who are you anyway, I never asked."
"Shh."
"Okay, okay."
"Wushshshshh…" They looked ahead and Rose gasped as the shadow of a Dalek crept along the wall.
"I mean you're a hand- Woa!" The Doctor's hand was on her mouth he led her around the corner and into the shadows Rose creeping next to them. They held their breath as the Dalek passed.
"No, no, no, no, no, no." Muttered the Doctor under his breath, "They survive; they always survive, while I lose everything."
"I'm here Doctor, you have me." Rose held his hand and he hugged her murmuring into her hair.
"But look at the cost."
"That metal thing. What was it?" Asked Tallulah
"It's called a Dalek. And it's not just metal, it's alive."
"You're kidding me." Tallulah said with a laugh,
"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Said the Doctor, glaring at her, "Inside that shell is a creature born to hate. It's only thought is to destroy everything and everyone that isn't a Dalek too. It won't stop 'til it's killed every human being alive."
"But if that's not a human being, that kinda implies it's from outer space." And with a look from the Doctor and Rose she said "Yet again a 'no' with the kiddin'. Yoi, well, what's it doin' here? In New York?"
"Every second you're down here you're in danger, I'm taking you back right now!" The Doctor pulled Tallulah by the elbow, around a corner. They looked up to see a slightly different pig creature, Tallulah screamed and Rose gasped.
"Where's Martha?!" the Doctor yelled at it. "What have you done with her?!" He demanded walking to the creature.
"What have you done with Martha?" Said Rose walking to the Doctor's side,
"I didn't take her!" Said the figure trying to hide his face,
"Do you remember your name?" Asked the Doctor in a much softer voice.
"Don't look at me."
"Do you know where she is?" asked Tallulah as she edged closer,
"Stay back!" Called the creature; holding a hand up behind him, "Don't look at me."
"What happened to you?" Asked the Doctor,
"They made me a monster."
"Who did?" Asked Rose,
"The Masters."
"The Daleks."
* * *
"RE-PORT." Martha and the other stolen men watched the Daleks converse.
"THESE ARE SRTONG SPEIC-I-MENS, THEY WILL HELP THE DA-LEK CAUSE."
"Dalek?" Martha muttered under her breath something trigging in her memory,
"WHAT IS THE STATIS OF THE FINAL EX-PER-I-MENT?"
"THE DA-LEKAN-IUM IS IN PLACE. THE EN-ER-GY CONDUCTOR IS NOW COMPLETE."
"THEN I WILL EXTRACT PRISONERS FOR SEL-EC-TION." A pig held the first man, "INTELLI-GENCE SCAN INITI-ATE." His plunger reached to the man's face and turned slightly, "READING BRAIN WAVE. LOW INTELL-IGENCE."
"You callin' me stupid?" the man said offended,
"SILENCE! THIS ONE WILL BECOME A PIG-SLAVE. NEXT!" When it was Martha's turn her breath faltered. She looked down at the plunger and was truly scared.
"SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE. THIS ONE WILL BECOME PART OF THE FINAL EX-PER-I-MENT."
"You can't just experiment on people, it's insane! It's inhuman!"
"WE ARE NOT HUMAN. PRISONERS OF HIGH INTELLIGNECE WILL BE TAKEN TO THE TRANSGENIC LA-BOR-I-TORY." They walked in a line slowly following the Daleks and pig slaves.
"Keep walking." Said a voice behind her, Martha turned and saw the Doctor and Rose,
"Oh I'm so glad to see you."
"Yeah well you can kiss me later. You too Frank, if you want."
* * *
The Doctor, Rose, Martha, Frank and the other 'superior intelligence' people were led into a room with two other Daleks, one black and smoky the other bronze/gold.
"REPORT."
"DALEK SEC IS ENTER-ING THE FI-NAL STAGE OF EV-O-LUTION."
"SCAN HIM. PREPARE FOR BIRTH."
"Evolution?"
"Birth?"
"What's wrong with old Charlie boy, over there?"
"Ask them."
"Wha' me? Don't be daft."
"We don't exactly want to get noticed, ask them what's going on." Martha took a shaky breath and stepped out of the line.
"Daleks. I demand to be told, what this final experiment...Report!"
"YOU WILL BARE WITNESS."
"To what?"
"THIS IS A DAWN OF A NEW AGE."
"What does that mean?"
"WE ARE THE ONLY FOUR DALEKS IN EXISTENCE. SO THE SPEICIES MUST EVOLVE. I LIFE OUTSIDE THE SHELL, THE CHILDREN OF SKARO MUST WALK AGAIN." And he glided back to the others in time to see the blue light on Dalek Sec's eyestalk go out and his shell to open. A man in a black suit stepped out. His hands were claw-like and his face was nothing of earth. He had six tentacles and one blue-green eye.
"What is it?" Hissed Martha,
"I – Am – A – Human-Dalek. I – Am – Your – Future."
