Author's Note: Ah! Sorry for not updating this week! Once again, I got a bit blocked as to what to write in this chapter. I ended up writing a one-shot yesterday, and I guess it helped un-block my mind, though I'm not completely confident this chapter turned out well. I also apologize that it's shorter than usual, but I will do my best to have another chapter up in the next few days. Please review!

The Doctor walked out of the TARDIS and started to look around. "I guess that makes sense; instead of using space on your planet, send all of your prisoners to a completely different planet."

"Like Georgia?" I asked. "It was started for debtors."

"Not exactly." The Doctor said, walking back to me. "Georgia was started so debtors could pay off their debts and start their life over." He looked around and the prison cells. "I think that these people were just left here to die."

"Well, wouldn't they get released eventually?"

"There aren't any guards." He pointed down the hall to a doorway. "I don't think there's anybody here."

"How are they keeping the prisoners locked up?"

The Doctor knelt down and picked up a stone that was on the floor. He threw it at one of the cells, and it bounced off of the electrical shield that had been placed around it.

"So they just leave them here to die." I stated sadly.

"They've probably committed crimes that involve life sentence." He said. "Now why would Harmony be here?"

The Doctor scoped the room, until he locked his eyes on one of the cells in the back of the room. I tried to realize its significance as I followed him to it, and I finally did; the cell was empty, unlike the rest of the cells.

"It's empty." He said. "They wouldn't have an empty cell in a place they don't intend to visit again."

I looked around the room and noticed that the prisoners weren't looking at us. They were just sitting quietly in their cells, tracing words on the wall or just being in pensive thought. "Why don't they notice us?" I asked the Doctor.

The Doctor looked up at the other cells. "Maybe the electrical field is blocking out outer occurrences. You can go try talking to one of them, if you'd like."

I gave him a curious look, and he just shrugged. I turned around and walked to the cell across from the cell the Doctor was investigating. A man - or a creature that looked like a human male - who appeared to be not much older than twenty sat facing the wall. I kneeled down in front of the cell.

"Hello?" I said quietly. The man didn't respond. "Hello?" I repeated, louder this time. "Sir?" I said very loudly. He finally turned around, shocked at my appearance, and inched toward me.

"Who are you?" He asked in a deep, gruff voice. He had messy black hair and dark blue eyes. He had some stubble, but somehow looked hygienical.

"I-I'm Erin." I said quietly. "You are?"

"Alatros, but you can call me Al." He said, his face looking a bit brighter. He examined my face quickly, then asked, "You from Sto, too?"

"Erm, no." I said awkwardly. "I'm from Earth."

"No way!" He exclaimed quietly. "It's nearly impossible for someone from Sto to get here, let alone somebody from Earth." He said, as if referring to a primitive species, though I suppose through the eyes of other alien creatures, humans are fairly primitive.

"Well, I had some help." I pointed to the Doctor, who was still examining the cell.

"He from Earth too?"

"Not really."

"Where's he from, then?"

I bit my lip, unsure if I should reveal the Doctor's home planet. "Not completely sure." I replied, which wasn't a complete lie. I had no idea where exactly Gallifrey was.

"What are you two doing here, then?" Al asked. "Trying to break someone out? No one's tried that; no one on this floor, at least."

"We're trying to find someone. She isn't a prisoner; she just sort of... popped in here. Did you see a girl do that?"

"Can't really see much out of this cell." He said. "I hear you, and I can see you, but I don't really see a lot."

I heard the Doctor stand up and walk over next to us. "The electric field is upgraded with a perception filter; it's completely unnecessary, but it could possibly be there to prevent contact with the other prisoners."

"How can he see me, then?"

"You only see through it when it's something you really want to see."

I looked back at Al, then at the Doctor. "What did you find out about the cell?"

"It appears that Harmony ended up in there, and as she tried to leave, the prisoner grabbed a ride." The Doctor looked back at the cell. "There isn't really any other explanation possible."

"And that means it's bad that there's a prisoner out of the cell."

"Well, they can't do too much outside of here if they escape the prison. But, the prisoner could possibly force Harmony to take him somewhere, knowing what she is capable of."

I widened my eyes. The Doctor looked at Al. "Do you know who was in that cell?"

"Not personally, but he was involved in the huge massacre that nearly destroyed the government on Perya, Sto's colony planet. Oh, and he revealed government secrets to our military enemies."

"Wonderful." The Doctor muttered.

A second later, I heard running down the hallway. I looked to see that Harmony was running into the room. As soon as she saw the Doctor and me, she gasped, and shut her eyes.

"Oh no you don't!" The Doctor grabbed my hand quickly and grasped her arm, and we found ourselves on a completely different floor of the prison a moment later.

"Ugh! Why can't you just leave me alone?" Harmony complained loudly as she ripped her arm from the Doctor's grasp and leaned against the wall, crossing her arms defiantly.

"Because you obviously can't be trusted." The Doctor said quietly.

"I can be trusted; you just wait." She uncrossed her arms. "I'm guessing you noticed that I let a prisoner out.. I lost him. But we're on Calbris, so he can't really do anything, right?"

"Don't speak too quickly." The Doctor answered. "This guy is smart."

"How do you know?"

"Somebody told me the crimes he committed. He'd have to be somewhat smart if he wanted to do all of that."

"Well, he can't have gotten too far."

"Where did you see him last?"

"Actually, on this floor." She looked around. "He was heading for the main floor."

"To the main floor, then!" He started to run to the stairs, and Harmony and I followed him.

Suddenly, we were stopped by a large metal door slamming down before us. We stopped, and realized that a metal door had slammed behind us as well.

"I thought no one was here?" I said as I gazed around at our current situation.

"The system is automated." The Doctor answered. "That's how they get food to the prisoners. It detected intruders and is handling them."

"So we're just going to sit in here?"

"The system most likely sent a distress signal to the planet that placed this prison here, and they're going to take care of us."

"Great." I muttered angrily. "Won't the prisoner be captured as well?"

"Possibly." The Doctor paused. "If he's able to escape, then he can get past the system."

"What are we going to do?"

"Well, it's probably already sent the distress signal, so we can either wait here and get arrested, or we can escape and find the prisoner to be recaptured when they arrive."

"I pick the second choice." Harmony interjected.

"I suspected that." The Doctor said with a small smile on his face. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver and pointed it at the electric field around the walls. He pressed the button, and an electric shock from the wall surged into his arm, causing him to yelp in pain and throw the screwdriver on the ground.

"Ow!" He exclaimed loudly. "The field prohibits sonic devices to counteract it. Should've thought of that."

"So we're stuck?" Harmony asked. "No problem, we can just-"

"That isn't going to work, either." The Doctor interrupted. "The system detects that you have TARDIS technology in your body, and it will block that from working as well."

"So we really are stuck." Harmony groaned, leaning against the wall.

"For the time being, yes."
