A/N: Hello! Here is the third chapter I promised you!
Chapter 12 – A Plan to Save the World
It was a long story.
Osgood had sat down at the other end of the table and recorded every word. And now she was sure that her fingers would never be the same.
"And all of you were involved in this?" Kate asked.
"That is correct," answered Castiel.
"All this time, and we had no idea this kind of thing existed."
"Well, it does, and that's partially why we need your help," said Aliea.
"What do you mean?"
"You'll know exactly what I mean once you check your scanners."
"Very well. Osgood–"
"I can access the scanners from this computer," said Osgood, typing furiously once more, "Um…just give me a minute." A moment later, her mouth fell open.
"What? What is it?" asked Kate.
"Ma'am, you need to see this."
Kate stood up and hurried over to the other end of the table. When she saw what was on the screen, her face lost all its color. "It can't be."
"It is," said the Doctor, "That's why we came to you, we thought UNIT could help us find a solution."
Kate nodded. "What do you need?"
"For now, just somewhere to work," said Jack.
Kate nodded again. "Any specifics?"
"A lab," said Sherlock.
"Gadgets and spare parts," said Aliea.
"A few computers would also help," said the Other Doctor.
"In that case, I think we have just the thing," said Kate. She motioned for them to follow her, and strode off.
After many twists and turns, they entered a large room. A long counter ran along three of its walls, mounted with screens and equipment. The fourth wall was a large window stretching from the floor to the ceiling. It looked out over open ocean. A long table sat in the center of the room, with several chairs drawn up.
"I trust you find this satisfactory?" Kate asked.
"Excellent," said Sherlock. He removed his coat and scarf, tossing them onto a chair as he made his way over to the screens.
"I'll leave you to it, then." With that, she turned and left the room, shutting the door behind her.
"Right," said Jack. He removed his own coat and threw it over a chair. "I'm going to get a scanner up and running. Sam, Aliea, I could use your help."
The other two nodded and followed him over to the screens.
"Okay," said the Doctor, "I'm going to put some gadget-y stuff together. Sherlock can help. Anyone else?"
"I'll come," said the Other Doctor, following him over.
Now, the only ones left standing in the middle of the room were John, Dean, Rose, and Castiel.
After a short moment of silence, Rose crossed over to one of the chairs and sat down.
The others just stared at her. "Well? Any of you gonna join me?"
Slowly, the rest of them walked over to sit in the other chairs.
"Shouldn't we be doing something?" asked John.
Rose shrugged. "What's there to do?"
Dean nodded in agreement. "Yeah. They're all over there doing the nerdy stuff."
"Yeah, but, I mean the world's about to end. Is there anything you want to do?"
"We could just sit here quietly," said Castiel.
Rose laughed. "Actually, I think I've got a better idea."
