Cage in the courtyard
Daley Plaza, Chicago
7:00 A.M. Central Time
(Astrid's POV)
"Hey you could see Navy pier from up here!" Kowalski said. "I would enjoy the view if we weren't in a cage suspended by a crane!" "Which is weird considering that there are no skyscrapers with cranes nearby!" Skipper shouted. "How long do these Daleks expect us to sit up here," Frost asked. "You spoke too soon," Private said, "their coming!" "The Prisoners are to be lowered!" "I obey!" "Brace for impact!" I shouted before the cage hit the ground…hard. "Thanks for the heads up!" Skipper replied sarcastically. "I have a sword remember," I replied. "Silence!" a dalek replied, "The Prisoners will move ahead of us and follow our instructions!" "You don't have to shout," Skipper said. The Daleks opened the doors and forced us to the center of the courtyard where some important looking daleks were waiting.
"You not bringing us inside," Skipper said pointing to the ugly building, "the courts are over there and you must be cold" "Daleks have no concept of 'cold'" "That figures," Kowalski replied. "What are you going to do to us?" hiccup asked. "Daleks do not answer human questions!" "Hey!" I shouted, "Answer the question!" The Supreme Dalek appeared and got frighteningly close to me, "The Human Female will be silent!" "Or what." "OR You Will Be Exterminated!" "IF you what to do that you have to go thru me." "Frost Boy!" Skipper shouted, "Back down!" "They can't exterminate me even if they tried." "Just because your immortal does not mean you can be reckless," Private replied. "The Trial will begain," a new voice announced, "The Prisoners will be brought!" "We're not cattle," Kowalski muttered. The Daleks moved us in front of a cream-colored dalek.
"I think that's our judge," Kowalski whispered. "No whispering!" The Judge replied, "I am the Dalek inquistioner!" "I'm guessing Dalek X was too scared," Skipper mocked. "Dalek X is reserved for The Doctor!" "The Trial will…" The Dalek inquistioner exploded before it could finish. "Under Attack Under…" the Supreme Dalek exploded. "Skipper get you people up here," Classified shouted. "What took you so long?" "You did kind of leave us back in Washington," Eva said. "Kowalski…" "I must have typed something in wrong," He replied. "Bring us aboard." Within moments we were inside the North Wind Jet, "So where to," Skipper asked. "Navy Peir." "Navy Pier?" I asked. "Yes The Daleks converted it into their base of operations for this city," Classified replied. "They will pay," corporal replied.
"Navy pier it is," Skipper replied. "I have a…" "Don't you dare Kowalski," I replied. "…bad feeling about this," Kowalski finished. "Bad feelings are your guts way of telling you that you're approaching a Dalek base of operations." "Now I wish we brought our dragons with," Hiccup said. "Any questions?" Classified shouted, "Good now we go into the belly of the beast."
