Once upon the TARDIS, the Doctor sent them back into the safety of the vortex before taking the piece of metal back to his lab. He needed to find out what the metal was and hopefully figure out what the Master was planning on making. Knowing the Master, it was going to be something extremely dangerous with the power to take out a small city if not the entire planet. The metal itself, however, was nothing special just a piece of steel that had been pounded to be extremely thin. It could be used to make anything from a simple tool to a large bomb. Frustrated he pushed the piece of metal aside as he leaned back to stare at the ceiling. He was going to have to explore more of the factories in order to figure out what the Master was up to. He couldn't do that, however, with the others on board. He was going to have to take them to safety before he put himself at risk to stop the Master. Standing up he made his way out to the control room to find Jack sitting on the captain's chair reading a book. He didn't notice as the Doctor entered the room until he spoke.

"Did you find a place that we can take the others to?" The Doctor asked Jack as he made his way over to the console. Jack lowered the book, laying it face down on his leg in order to keep his place marked.

"I did. There is a small colony on the planet Koteshkin where they take refugees and help rehabilitate them into living among the general population again," Jack informed the Doctor.

"What about Mayter, and Jasper, neither one of them are Koteshki," The Doctor advised Jack. He leaned against the console as he looked at Jack. "Mayter has been helping Hazel and I don't think it would be good to separate the two of them. Nor do I think it is a good idea to place Hotchkiss in the same colony as Hazel."

"The colony has separate homes for single men and single women while trying to keep families together. They are also used to taking in other aliens allowing them to integrate with the other Koteshkians," Jack answered. The Doctor nodded, happy that Jack had done his research. The Koteshki home planet had been invaded several thousand years ago by slave traders. They had waged war against the Koteshki's killing millions while taking thousands of their children as slaves. When the Shadow Proclamation learned what was happening they stepped in sending the Judoon to protect the Koteshkis. It didn't end the war right away as many more were killed before the Koteshkis were finally freed. With their numbers decimated they started accepting refugees from other planets in order to help. Now they were an integrated society that housed many different species that all lived together.

"We will take them there then. Once the five of you are settled, I will go back to researching the factories and hopefully put a stop to the Master's plans," the Doctor told him setting the coordinates.

"I'm not staying with them," Jack informed him firmly.

"The Master is a very dangerous man, Jack," The Doctor responded, not looking at Jack as he moved around the console. Occasionally he flicked a switch or pulled a lever as he drove.

"That is why you need me to help you," Jack argued.

"Despite what you did to me on Earth, I am not going to put you or anyone else in danger. I have gone against the Master in the past and know what he is capable of. He won't hesitate to hurt or kill you in order to get to me and I am not going to give him that chance," the Doctor hissed irritably.

"If he is as dangerous as you say he is, then you need my help. I have been trained by Torchwood in combat and I can help you," Jack informed him. The Doctor looked up at Jack, the darkness once more in his eyes.

"I have walked away from a war larger than your mind could possibly perceive. I don't need you to protect me as I can take care of myself," The Doctor advised Jack.

"You did a great job of that on Earth," Jack responded. The Doctor's glare darkened.

"Only because you held me hostage," The Doctor reminded him coldly. Jack took a deep breath letting out slowly as he rubbed the bridge of his nose between his two fingers. He didn't want to leave the Doctor to live on a new planet with a group of people who thought of him as a slave owner. Nor could he return to Earth as he would be arrested on the spot for his involvement in helping the Doctor take Ianto's slaves. Helping the Doctor had given him a sense of purpose and a way to attone for the pain that he had caused slaves over the years, even if he had never kept one for himself before the Doctor.

"I was wrong to keep you as a slave and I'm sorry. I should have listened to you from the start and set you free like you asked me to. I can't change what I did but if you let me, I can help others from suffering the same fate. I can't do that, though, if I am stuck on Koteshkin," Jack advised him. The Doctor's eyes softened slightly as he listened to Jack.

"Fine," The Doctor snapped at him. Jack tried not to smile as the Doctor turned his back to him again beginning the landing sequence. The TARDIS landed with a thump causing the inside of the TARDIS to shake. Jack stood from the captain's chair going down to the cells to retrieve Hotchkiss while the Doctor went to retrieve the others. Jack found Hotchkiss kneeling in the middle of the cell. Tears stained his cheeks but he didn't look up as Jack opened the cell nor did he move from the position as Jack approached.

"Come along, Hotchkiss," Jack told him softly placing a hand on his arm.

"Yes, sir," Hotchkiss answered, his voice shaking as much as his body as he stood up. He was positive that he was going to be punished for following Master Ianto's orders. He didn't fight Jack, however, as he was lead up the stairs to where the others were waiting for them. Jack took him over to the small group, not missing the fact that Hazel placed Mayter between her and Hotchkiss. The Doctor opened the door leading them out of the TARDIS and into the sunny field.

"Hello, my name is Kana," A young woman with a friendly smile spoke as she approached the TARDIS. She had light blue skin with black hair that was pulled back into a simple bun. Her simple dress hung to her knees showing her bare feet. She didn't seem to care that six people just stepped out of a small box having seen many different modes of transportation over the years.

"I'm the Doctor. This is Jack, Hotchkiss, Jasper, Hazel and Mayter," The Doctor advised to her motioning to each of them in turn.

"Are you seeking refuge?" Kana questioned.

"They are. They are former slaves from Earth who need help relearning how to be a part of a society again," Jack answered her.

"Of course," Kana replied. "If you will come with me, I will get you settled." She motioned for them to follow her. They didn't move as they looked hesitantly towards Jack.

"It's alright. You're free now. You don't have to listen to me or anyone else ever again," Jack told them. Hazel took Mayter's hand before hesitantly taking a step forward. Kana's smile never wavered as she reached out for Jasper's hand. He took it allowing her to lead him forward with Mayter and Hazel following behind them. Hotchkiss looked towards the group leaving, then turned to look at Jack. The confusion was clear in his eyes.

"Go with them," The Doctor advised him softly. Hotchkiss looked at the other's one last time before turning to look at the Doctor. He didn't say anything as he hurried after the others not wanting to be separated from the others. Despite everything that had happened in Ianto's home, they had always had each other and he didn't want to lose Mayter or Jasper. The Doctor watched as he caught up to the others taking Jasper's hand in his own. Turning away he headed back onto the TARDIS, going to the console. There would be time to check on them later, right now he and Jack had work to do.
