Recognized by the metallic sheen on his robotic body, the Dalek known as Skaro, pointed his eye stock at the Doctors and hatred seeped through his words as he talked to the Doctors.

"You dare show your fa-ces?" Skaro hissed at them.

The Doctor with the bowl affirmed with, "All those times you tried to invade and it never crossed your mind?"

Crossing his arms, the Doctor with the cape inquired what Skaro hoped to gain invading the UNIT compound.

They know perfectly well that the Doctor would've taken notice and acted accordingly.

It's certainly not to help his captured brethren. Rather, they'd just destroy it and the entire compound without so much a blink.

"We've been searching," began Skaro as his voice robotically boomed throughout the room. "Looking for our answer."

Matt's confused and thankfully, the Doctors knew what Skaro talked about because they huffed at Skaro's reasoning.

"I've searched high and low and I've never heard such a thing," decreed the Doctor with the cape. The Doctor with the bowl cut affirmed that he didn't see or hear what Skaro's talking about it.

"Fools!" Skaro called them. "We know what we hear!"

Matt, confused, looked between the Doctors who didn't seem incline to believe Skaro. He's known to lie before, especially if he feels like his life's at risk, and the two Doctors' convinced he's lying to them again.

Quiet, Matt listened to the Dalek affirming that they're searching for the answer. They're desperate to find it and afraid of what's to come if they don't find the answer. Not only that, what's to come when they find the answer!

"You expect us to believe you, the same who lied and cheated before?" the Doctor with the bowl cut didn't believe the Dalek.

Skaro turned his eye stock towards Matt as he stood behind the Doctors and asked him outright, "What of you?"

Matt didn't know what to say and his eyes moved towards the Doctors who guided him by the way of their eyes.

Looking at the Dalek, Matt shifted in his spot, as he responded, "I don't believe in you!"

The Dalek wasn't happy with his response as he heard, "Fools, you are fools!"

Skaro ordered the Daleks to ready as a second rod appeared from their chassis and pointed at the Doctors.

"Hold on!" Matt shouted at him.

Skaro's taken aback by Matt suddenly raising his voice as he wanted Skaro's attention.

Coming towards him, Skaro shouted, "We do not o-bey, the Doc-tor!"

Holding his ground, Matt stared at Skaro, and asked him, "Tell me something, Skaro, what are you exactly hoping to gain from this?"

He hoped that Skaro clued him in what he and the Daleks fear and it worked, because Skaro told him, "The sound… we want to know what it means!"

There's a sound that frightened Skaro and the Daleks, enough that they're detracting from their normal routine because they don't know what it means and what'll happen when it inevitably stops.

"By invading UNIT?" Matt questioned Skaro's logic.

Skaro countered as he said that they need all the resources they can gather to find what the sound is, what it means, and what'll happen when it finally stops.

"If you he-ard the so-und, you'd be-lieve, the Daleks!" Skaro shrilled at Matt.

Evidently, neither Doctors heard the sound the Daleks did, and this is a catalyst for them not believing Skaro.

Chewing on the bottom of his lip, Matt conferred with the Doctors who told him that Skaro's lying about the sound. They heard no such thing and their TARDIS' confirmed it. He's never told the truth in his miserable life since he encountered the first Doctor!

"Maybe you have a bit of tinnitus, Skaro, isn't it possible, hmmm?" the Doctor with the cape inquired.

Skaro insisted vehemently that there's a sound that the Daleks heard and that they're afraid of it because they don't know what it means.

"What do you think will happen when the sound stops?" Matt questioned Skaro.

Skaro shrilled at him, "Do-OM!"

Matt expected the Doctors to have a plan for getting them out of this and they did, but not in a heroic sense, they convinced Skaro that if he wanted UNIT's help that he keeps them alive.

Looking at the men, Matt knew that they didn't intend to keep their word, but Skaro's desperate enough that he took their word for it, and ordered them to go into a holding cell with Daleks following them closely behind.

Forced into the holding cell, Matt turned his head to the Doctors as he inquired what's the plan after this.

"Simple, break out," the Doctor with the cape told him.

Matt sighed as he then asked, "Are you sure Skaro isn't lying?"

It could just be his nature, but Matt heard the desperation in Skaro's robotic voice. Impressive, considering, but he heard the Dalek nearly outright beg for help and that's bizarre for a Dalek to beg for help outside the Dalek empire.

"He's nothing but a liar, my boy," the Doctor with the bowl cut told him. "He'd lie to save his own arse and leave his soldiers to die in fires."

He's done that multiple times, crossing his tendrils as he lied to everyone he came across. Doing this so much, it's hard for the Doctors not to roll his eyes at him.

"Listen to me, never trust his words," the Doctor with the cape warned Matt. "He'll kill you without a second blink."

Stressing, the Doctor with the cape made it clear that Skaro couldn't be trusted, no matter what he says or does, desperation is just a tactic he'd use to turn on people foolish enough to trust him.

"He's got his own empire back home, you be the judge of his character," the Doctor with the bowl cut chimed in and Matt's forced to look at his options.

He couldn't trust Skaro as evident that he's known to lie and double cross. Yet, he couldn't shake the feeling that this one moment, that Skaro's telling the truth, that there's a sound that the Daleks fear and desperate to know what it is and what it means.

However, the Doctors assert that Skaro isn't telling the truth and neither their TARDIS' indicated there's even a sliver of truth in Skaro's words.

Frowning, Matt paced around the holding cell as he didn't know what to think.

Forced, Matt trusted the Doctors as they're seasoned compared to him and know the in and out of Skaro and the Daleks.

Looking at the men closely, Matt saw how irritated they were seeing Skaro again, and it gave cause for him to ask why they didn't simply just kill him and the Daleks, be done with it.

He heard, "Unfortunately, we've considered that, but that's not possible."

It's certainly crossed their minds to kill off Skaro and the Daleks, but the two Doctors ran into issues as did other Doctors.

Daleks propagate by continuously creating more Daleks. By their estimates, there's trillions and maybe even more, even if they defeated Skaro and killed his followers, he's not the only major Dalek Matt has to worry about.

If hierarchy used by the Daleks was a chart, Skaro barely showed up compared to how many Daleks above him ranked.

Not surprisingly, that many Daleks caused their own form of internal strife. Wars, deceit, there's several sects of Daleks roaming the galaxies far and wide, believing they're superior to their brethren.

"Okay, so, I believe you, what now?" Matt asked the Doctors what they should do.

Simply, as the Doctor with the cape said, "Help them."

Matt didn't know what he meant and the Doctor with the bowl cut clued him in by telling him if the Daleks were afraid of such sound, then they'll use it against them.

"We get to their computers we can use it to contact the Brigadier and his men," the Doctor with the cape told Matt.

He instructed Matt to stick close to them and listen to them. The Daleks aren't keen on multiple Doctors being different people, yet, and they needed to keep the illusion they're the same person up.

"Is it that important you're damning men and women to carry sins they have no reason to carry?" Matt ended up asking a hard question for the Doctors.

He's heard enough about carrying the sins of his peers as his own, but he doesn't understand such importance that it outweighed the individualism of a Doctor.

The Doctors explained that they had to, because if it's found out that they're not the same person, effectively, it'll cause a witch-hunt and one that Matt did not want to happen.

Daleks, Zygon, creatures from the deep, oh my, they'll hunt anyone they suspect as the Doctor, and kill them, even if they're not.

"As long as they think we're one, they won't turn their attention to the others," the Doctor with the bowl cut summed the major reason.

They couldn't use their real names.

Had to use the title and nothing else.

Assume the good and bad parts of others as their own.

Pretend to be the same person, even when they're not, and keep up the appearance as such, so that their enemies don't get wise.

This means misleading people into thinking that you're their friend, lover, so on, just in a different body, for the sake of protecting them.

All that, while saving the worlds at large, stopping evils, etc, just so there's a fleeting feeling of safety.

"Now, if we had enough chinwag, let's give the Daleks what they want, hmm?" the Doctor with the cape looked between the men.

Matt begrudgingly agreed to his plan and Dalek guards came to their cell to collect them and lead them to the area where they could work on helping the Daleks.

Trailing behind the two Doctors, Matt frowned as he pondered quietly to himself, and as he walked, he felt his pocket vibrate silently.

Slowly, he reached into his pocket and felt his mobile vibrating.

The trans dimensional interfaces in the compound seemed to help Matt receive messaging even in another universe and he knew from vibrations, it's Ripley.

She's probably wanting to check up on him.

"Jodie, tell me you have my back," Matt muttered under his breath.

Jodie's as much in trouble as Matt is.

She let him go off trying to return a ferret to her owner and got him wrapped up in a conspiracy involving some sound, Daleks, and two Doctors.

On top of everything else, he's fortunate he hadn't lost his lunch for the umpteenth time!

…Assuming he has anything left of it.

Led to a large doorway, the Dalek soldiers told the Doctors the terms.

If they try to leave, they will die.

If they try to deviate from the task that Skaro set them, they will die.

Doing anything that showed disobedience resulted in them dying.

Matt's not pleased, but the Doctors tell him that's it's normal for Daleks to embellish what consequences follow for breaking their rules.

Make no mistake, they'll kill you if they think you're doing something wrong, even if you're not.

"Oh, wonderful," Matt muttered under his breath.

Forced into a large oval room and the door opened with two Daleks guarding the outside and two on the inside, Matt went with the Doctors towards the computers where they're expectant to help the Daleks.

"Alright, time to have a bit of fun with o'Skaro," the Doctor with the cape looked between the men.

The Doctor with the bowl cut asked the Doctor with the cape, "What shall we tell them?"

He referred to UNIT.

The Doctor with the cape replied, "We'll tell them to prepare."

Motioning with his hand, the Doctor with the cape had the men step closer to the computers and pulled them close out of earshot of the Daleks.

"Alright, we'll start with taking down the force field for them. It'll be the easiest thing we done," the Doctor with the cape formulated a plan on how to do deal with the Daleks.

Tearing down their forcefield's easy, the Doctors done it several times. Even when the Daleks made variations, the Doctors always worked to destroy them.

"Okay, then what?" Matt asked them.

The Daleks expected results and without those results, they're likely to die, and Matt didn't want to die so soon, Ripley would certainly kill him.

"You've much to learn, boy," the Doctor with the cape sighed as he shook his head, his pale hair barely moving, and he proceeded to continuously push buttons, typing on the keyboards, and generally, doing what's requested of them.

Skaro wanted UNIT's help and the Doctor with the cape's going to give them what they want, only it wouldn't be the help they need.

"Trust me, he's always like this," the Doctor with the bowl cut whispered to Matt about the arrogance of the Doctor with the cape.

The Doctor with the cape heard this and whispered, "I'm not the one who does nothing but play music!"

Matt sharply exhaled, "I wish I stayed in bed!"
