Rose's heart ached at the sight of the people in the cages. They looked up at her. A woman sat in one cage looked up at Rose with a mixture of curiosity and fear. Aiden was lead on floor of his cell an IV tapped into a vein in his arm, the person in the third cell didn't even move.

"What are you doing?" the woman hissed

"I'm here to save you" Rose whispered

The woman looked away shuffling into the corner. These people all looked so hopeless and broken.

Is this how the Doctor had felt in here?

Rose instantly expelled the thought. Not something she wanted to even consider. She walked over to the far wall. There were two buttons.

'Cell Doors Open' and 'Cell Doors Shut'

Surely it couldn't be that simple?


The Doctor took a step backwards, the thing in the middle of the room radiated power. But it wasn't a computer. Not completely. There was something organic about. He edged forward cautiously like it was a wild animal. He sent a mental probe towards instantly flinching away.

Artificial Intelligence why did humans love it so much?

He shook his head in annoyance and stepped forwards setting up barriers between the computers in the building then finally stopping communication with the outside world. Computers started to shut off around the building until the only one left was the main server.

"What do we do with you then?" He gasped in slight pain as he broke through the fire walls, he didn't want to see what had been done by Genesis so he wiped the hard drive. All of Genesis' files from every branch worldwide were saved on it. With one thought the Doctor deleted them all. The server whirred in annoyance before resetting. It was blank now. The Doctor took his hand off of it. Apprehension flickered across his dark eyes.

The server watched him passively.

"Right then" he murmured taking a step back. Now all he had to do was get out of here alive.


Rose pressed the open button. The doors swung open soundlessly the scientists didn't appear to notice. The second occupant threw Rose a quizzical look

"Come on!" Rose insisted, the woman jumped up and scrabbled to come and stand by Rose who was scooping up Aiden in her arms.

"What about him?" Rose pointed to the third cell

The woman scrurried over pressing two fingers against the person's neck. She looked up at Rose and shook her head slightly

"Ok" Rose whispered "My friend is going to find us and then we are going to escape"

The woman looked doubtful.

"He's coming" Rose told her sternly.


The Doctor darted out the room and further down the corridor.

He dodged sideways into a laboratory. His time in the computer had told him what was needed to take the 'patients' outside the facility without dying.

He quickly mixed up the chemicals in a manic way then measured them out equally into three syringes. He tapped the needles smiling slightly then searched the minds of the building for Rose and then ran off to find her


"Come on come on come on" Rose muttered, she wasn't good at waiting. The longer the Timelord took the more nervous she got.

She glanced up at the scientists who now appeared to be discussing some different subject that was beyond her.

A few moments later the Doctor appeared he carefully wound his way between the scientists to get to her.

"Everything all right?" he asked her pulling a small black box which he opened to reveal 3 needles.

"Yeah" she smiled weakly "the third person's died" she said sadly, his eyes met her's for a moment before pulling out the first needle. Giving it a slight squeeze.

"The medicine that Aiden's being fed is very dilute so that he heals very slowly. This is a concentrated dose the worst it can do is make him slightly drowsy."

The Doctor took the tube from the IV in the boys hand and injected his mixture in. The boy groaned a bit. The Doctor pulled the needle out and went over to the woman speaking softly to her.

Rose looked down at Aiden, his eyes were a bit clouded. He wriggled from her arms so she quickly set him down on the floor.

"Ok you two need to go out into the corridor keep going left until your reach outside then just run for it until you find a blue box" he said they did what they were told leaving the Doctor alone with Rose

"Why can't they see us?" Rose asked him looking at the scientists

"Sort of like a perception filter, they see us put don't notice us."

"Ok. Why didn't we leave with them?"

"Because they're ill. They need a head start"

"Why?"

Her question was answered by the screech of an alarm. The Doctor turned to grin at her

"Run!"


They burst through the front door sprinting for their lives but still grinning. Rose wasn't running fast enough. She didn't have the speed of a Timelord-avian hybrid. He was running slower than he could for her benefit but he was still over 10 metres in front of her.

"Come on!" the Doctor turned around to run back to grab her. She saw his eyes widen slightly

"RUN!" he yelled.

There was a muted thump from behind her then and invisible force threw her forwards, she landed heavily instantly blacking out.
