A/N I'm sorry! Short chapter! More is coming! Today! I cross my heart and hope to spy! ;) (anyone get that?)

The TARDIS shook and threw its passengers to the floor (all except for the Doctor) while traveling through the atmosphere. That's when he felt her touch. The touch of Hope's mind. He felt it for an instant before it was suppressed by a stronger, more evil force he recognized as the Master. With a pang, he pushed and pulled buttons and danced around the TARDIS console, while Rose and Jackie were thrown into the grating.

"DOCTOR!" Jackie yelled, trying and failing to pull herself up while the ship shook. "IF YOUR THING-"

"TARDIS!" He yelled back, still dancing around the console too busy to pay much attention to his struggling passengers, who were trying to stand.

"FINE TORTOISE OR WHATEVER TEARS ITSELF APART AND WE DIE, I'LL KILL YOU!"

"That's fine by me," he muttered. "But really, it's a TARDIS, not a tortoise."

Finally, it stopped shaking.

Rose stood up and straightened her shirt. "So Doctor, where are we?"

"We are floating in space around a very large ship which appears to be the Master's if I'm not mistaken, so I am scanning for Hope now..." He said, pulling the monitor forward so his companions could see. A sharp ding sounded. "Aha! What do we have here, oh heavily shielded, no match for my scanners, oh what's this?" He asked no one in particular, pointing at a blue blip on the screen. His Rose and Jackie gave him incredulous looks. "It's a very shielded area with a bio sign matching Hope's!" The Doctor grinned. Rose and Jackie stared at him.

"So we can go get her?" Rose asked, still trying to make out what he had said.

"Yeah but look here.." He pointed at the screen at more blue blips on the screen.

"They're just blue blips for cryin' out loud!" Jackie cried, throwing her hands in the air.

"No but- just never mind. I'll figure it out later." He took his geeky glasses off and shoved them in the inside pocket of his trenchcoat. "Let's get going! Allons-y!"

The Doctor landed the TARDIS in a small closet that had just enough room for the trio to squeeze into.

"Alright, Jackie, Rose, take this scanner and this device, it should shield you from unfriendly eyes, and the scanner will take you to Hope. When you find her, call me on your cell phone," he said, handing them each what looked like an Xbox controller with a screen and a mini sonic screwdriver.

"Oi! And what're you gonna do then?" asked Jackie, eying the tools suspiciously.

He gave her a stare. "I need to figure some things out."

She opened her mouth to say something more but Rose interrupted her. "Mum, leave it."

"Right-o! Call me if you need any code breaking or something!" The Doctor grinned and opened the closet door, dashing out to the right.

"Does he even know how to work a phone?" asked Jackie.

"I really don't know."

And the mother and daughter set off down the left hall, following the lone blue blip on the screen.
