"We have been standing here for over an hour now, where is this bloody king?" asked Rose in a hushed whisper to The Doctor
"You mean the one who's going to execute us?" replied The Doctor
"Yeah, that's the one."
"No clue." Said The Doctor cheerfully. Without any warning, circular platforms from the ceiling began to lower to ground level. There were about 100 of them, each holding a clone of a man with brown hair and a cocky smile. Rose recognised that face…
"Adam? What are you doing here?" she asked.
One of the Adams replied "Mmmm, here's the brief: I made a few thousand clones of people you recognise to lure you in here. I only had to use two, it was easier than I expected. You guys are so gullible! Now I'm going to annihilate you."
"Without interrogation or execution?" The Doctor whispered to Rose who asked "but why make so many of yourself?"
"So that when you try to make your daring escape, you won't know which of me to kill!" said a different Adam.
"Yes, because a small screwdriver that can open locks is definitely a weapon of mass destruction." The Doctor said, but Adam ignored him and continued boasting.
"My clones are made of wax but are overlaid by skin, so you can't feel anything waxy. And they all have guns, see!" said a different Adam, and all of the Adam-clones put their hands in their pockets and pulled out guns.
"Any last words?" said the Adam nearest to the door. The Doctor clicked his fingers, hoping to differenciate the real Adam by the knowledge spire that was bound to pop up from his forehead, but knowledge spires appeared on all of the clones' foreheads.
"Now, now, Doctor" said one of the Adams disapprovingly "you didn't really think I wouldn't have taken precautions against that!"
The Doctor was getting impatient "Okay, tell me this – why? What's the point of killing us?"
"Revenge, Doctor. Revenge. You dumped me back on Earth and expected me to be okay with that? No, I plotted against you – built my empire of clones on Mars –" started one of the Adams
"Mars? Why Mars?" asked The Doctor
"Because I knew when I finally captured you it would sound more impressive than Venus" the same Adam continued "And now, you die. Bye bye Doctor. Nice seeing you again." All of the Adams raised their left hands and pointed their guns towards The Doctor and Rose
"Do you remember when we first met?" The Doctor asked Rose
"Yeah."
"And the first word I said to you?"
"Of course – I was about to get killed by evil mannequins."
"What was it?"
"Run" said Rose in a terrible northern accent.
"You read my mind." And he grabbed her hand and ran towards the door.
