The Doctor looked at the weapon Jenny was holding and shoot his head. He despised the use of any type of weapon which could cause harm to any living creature. It's the only way he could separate himself from what happened in the time-war in his past.
"You know how I hate the use of weapons," said the Doctor. "I thought I helped to move you past using such weapons when we were on Messaline."
"Don't worry dad, this is a sonic gun now. One shot and the Sontaran's won't know what him them. They will be down for at least five minutes." Jenny smiled, "Just enough time for us to do what we need to."
"Wow," Michael sounded impressed, with a little sarcasm. "Where's my weapon?"
"Hands off spaceman," Jenny lightly jerked the weapon away from Michael before his hand could touch it. She began to giggle, "I'm just kidding. There's one in the locker for you."
Jenny reached over and grabbed a rope still coiled up from the locker with a hook at the end of it. She placed the rope over one shoulder and allow the weight of the rope to lie across her body. She noticed Michael and the Doctor watching what she was doing.
"Just in case," Jenny answered before anyone could ask.
"In case of what?" Michael was beginning to become uncomfortable with the situation they were about to walk into. "A rope is not going to do anything to a Sontaran. Unless you're going to tie them up. I would rather shoot them all."
"Exactly what I would expect to hear from a waring race of people," said the Doctor. "Who are you really?"
"My name really is Michael. I'm part of the lead exploration expedition sent out to make contact with different species when we find them," Michael answered.
"But, something happened didn't it?"
"My ship was captured and my entire crew slaughtered by these Sontaran's. After my capture, I only learned about the destruction of my home planet, and now they want to destroy everything else in the universe."
Jenny spoke up, "I took the liberty with marking out our route to the Doctors TARDIS. We may have to do some climbing."
"I guess we're ready then," the Doctor tried and keep some aspect of control. It still didn't help much.
Michael made himself ready for when the door opened. He clearly anticipated to shoot a Sontaran while leaving the TARDIS. You could tell by the way he was holding he rifle up.
When he looked out, there was nobody to shoot at yet. He knew it wouldn't be long before a Sontaran crossed their path and he wanted to be ready when they did.
The Doctor led the way down the corridor while following Jenny's directions on which way to go. After a few turns the Doctor noticed a room off to the side.
Strange enough, there were different pieces of equipment lying around on several tables, including his sonic screwdriver. The Doctor proceeded inside the room momentarily to retrieve his sonic screwdriver.
"Come to papa," the Doctor announced, as he picked up his sonic screwdriver.
"Okay, you found a piece of equipment. Can we get a move on?" Michael said.
Moving further down the corridor they found it eventually came to an end. It opened into a larger room, much larger then they could see across.
They found themselves standing between two large black rectangular objects. These objects looked like some sort of container. There was no clear ceiling visible and each of them stood more then twenty feet tall and sixty feet long.
"I'll see if there is a way around the other side," said Jenny, "you know, just in case."
"Sounds good to me," answered Michael.
"Yes, me to," said the Doctor. "I never like the looks of having only one option."
The beam from a laser gun struck the wall next to the Doctor leaving a scorched mark in the wall. He quickly backed away from standing out in the open. The best he could do was to hide along one of the large objects they were standing next to.
Michael raised his sonic rifle and returned a couple of shots. One shot hit a Sontaran causing him to fall down unconscious.
"Glorious, battle," Romack said. "I live to see such days."
Romack could see the Doctor was near the entry to the corridor leaning against the wall. Another laser blast from a Sontaran rifle grazed Michael's shoulder. The pain of the blast caused Michael to drop his rifle. His legs dropped out from underneath his bandy causing him to fall against a wall next to the Doctor.
When Jenny first heard the shots being fired she decided to stay in the back hoping she wasn't seen. However, she knew it would only be a matter of time before the Sontaran's would figure out she had escaped the prison as well.
"Stop firing," Romack ordered. "I want the Doctor alive in order to see what is about to happen to his precious universe."
"It's the general," Jenny whispered.
Jenny wedged herself next to a steel looking beam and the large black object. She began to climb up to the top by distributing her weight between the beam and the object. After a few short moments Jenny reached the top of the object and pulled herself up. She just made it to the top as two Sontaran soldiers passed underneath where she was standing moments ago.
Jenny stood up to get a better view of where she was. The space she stood in was immense. She already had a good idea it was when they came out of the corridor. The walls surrounding them was curved slightly. This indicated to her the room was round.
The black object she was standing on emitted a beam of greenish colored light through a small round hole in the center. The beam reached far of above her head, farther then she could see. Several other greenish colored beams also went up from what Jenny could.
She could only guess there were hundreds of these black objects all around this large space, and they all looked like the one she was standing on. Wires connected the black objects below them to the one below that and continued on. There were more levels then she could see from where she was standing.
In the center of the room, Jenny could see a round platform with the Doctor's TARDIS on it. There were several cables and tubes attached all around the TARDIS. A small radiated field of energy could be seen with the naked eye surrounding the TARDIS.
From the top of the TARDIS a large white beam shot up, apparently to the same place where all the greenish beams were pointing to. Jenny could hear the Doctor talking to the general below.
"Listen to me Romack," the Doctor slowly lowered his hands, "you cannot attempt this."
Romack stepped forward, "Oh, yes Doctor. I can."
The Doctor moved closer to Romack in order to confront him. It was close enough for him to see the TARDIS sitting on the platform with all of wires coming out of it behind Romack.
"What have you done to my ship?"
