When Alyssa came to, she discovered that she was strapped to a slanted table. She noticed Rose and Mickey strapped on tables just like she was. "You two ok?" she asked them after giving the robots a glare.
"Aside from being shackled to this table to robots…I'm great", Rose sassed "you think you can get us out?"
"Preferably before they chop us up into little pieces", Mickey added.
"Chop us up?" Alyssa asked.
"Ali talk to me, please !" the Doctor shouted loudly in her mind, making her jump.
"I'm here", the red head said.
"They want to use us in the ship. Says we're compatible", Mickey answered, not knowing that she was talking to the Doctor telepathically.
"Oh, thank god", the Doctor said, Alyssa could almost feel his relief "I've been trying to get hold of you for ages. What's going on?"
"Some bots have taken us captive", Alyssa replied, wiggling her wrists "according to Mickey they want to chop us up and use us in the ship".
"WHAT!?" the empath flinched at the volume of his voice in her head "hold on, I'm on my way".
"What do you mean we're compatible?" Alyssa questioned the robots.
"You are compatible", the robot dressed in 18th century garb, stepping up to Rose's table.
"Yes, but why?" Alyssa pressed.
"You have the required parts", another robot replied moving to Mickey's table.
"I think you're mistaken", Alyssa said "if you let us go, I'll leave you all in one piece".
"I don't think they like your suggestion", Rose said as the robot by her table extends the blade from her hand.
"Definitely not", Mickey agreed the robot by his table did the same thing. Neither of the metal menaces where able to touch the pair since Alyssa was using her powers on them. The red head jerked her head, flinging the droid away from the blonde. She flinched from the pain in her head which she always got from using her abilities. Alyssa did the same to the droid by Mickey's table.
As she fought to keep herself from passing out, a droid dressed as a noble man approached her table. "Your mind is powerful", it stated "it is compatible".
Alyssa laughed "Really? Well I'm kinda using my brain at the moment", she said sarcastically.
"Your brain is compatible", the robot repeated sliding its blade out from its hand.
"Look if you don't want to end up like your friends then you'll back off", Alyssa warned.
"Your brain is compatible", the robot repeated for the third time.
"Yeah you said that already", Alyssa snapped really struggling to keep her eyes open due to her throbbing head.
"Ali!" Mickey shouted when the red head's eyes closed. As the blade touched Alyssa's cheek, drunken singing could be heard nearby. Then the Doctor swayed in, carrying a goblet and wearing his tie around his head. "And still have begged for more. I could've spread my wings and done a thou" the Time Lord sung "Have you met the French? My god, they know how to party" the Doctor said sounding a little drunk. When he saw Alyssa unconscious with a droid standing over her holding a blade to her face, his drunken façade slipped slightly to show concern for her.
"Oh, look at what the cat dragged in", Rose said, crossly sarcastically. She was worried about her friend and here the Doctor was drunk and seemingly uncaring about the red head. She thought the Time Lord loved her!
"Oh, you need to lighten up Rose", the Doctor said keeping up the pretence of being drunk.
"Where've you been? They almost harmed Ali" Mickey added.
"Well, among other things, I think just invented the banana daiquiri a few centuries early. Do you know, they've never even seen a banana before?" the Doctor said before turning to the droid by Alyssa's table. "Oh ho, ho, ho, ho, brilliant. It's you. You're my favourite, you are. You are the best! Do you know why? Because you're so thick. You're Mister Thick Thick Thickity Thick Face from Thicktown, Thickania. And so's your dad" he looked at Mickey and Rose "Do you know what they were scanning Reinette's brain for? Her milometer. They want to know how old she is. Know why? Because this ship is thirty seven years old, and they think that when Reinette is thirty seven, when she's complete, then her brain will be compatible".
The Doctor turned back to the droid "So, that's what you're missing, isn't it, hmm? Command circuit. Your computer. Your ship needs a brain. And for some reason, God knows what, only the brain of Madame de Pompadour will do", he said getting right up to the droid.
"Their brains are compatible", it said.
"Their brains? I only mentioned Reinette's", the Doctor said confused.
"It said that Ali's brain was compatible too", Mickey added.
"Compatible? If you believe that, you probably believe this is a glass of wine", the Doctor said before removing the droid's mask and pouring the contents of the goblet over its head. "Multigrain anti-oil. If it moves, it doesn't", he explained as the droid seized up. The remaining droids advanced, with the exception of the two Alyssa had damaged and the one the Doctor damaged. The Time Lord reached over to a nearby lever and pulled it down, deactivating the droids. The Doctor then released Rose, Mickey with his sonic. He went back to the table that Alyssa was strapped to and released her as well.
"Is she going to be ok?" Rose asked, worriedly when the Doctor picked up the unconscious woman. She knew that this had happened last time with the Krillitanes and it had taken Alyssa a while to come around from it. She hoped that by saving herself and Mickey that the red head hadn't put her own wellbeing at risk.
"She'll be fine in a while", the Doctor replied carrying Alyssa to the TARDIS that was on the other side of the room. He took her to her bedroom where the door swung open as he approached with the red haired woman in his arms. The Time Lord laid her down on her bed. "Ali I'm sorry", he said caressing her cheek. He should've been there quicker! If he had been then she wouldn't need to use her gifts to save herself and the others.
"Reinette is still in danger", Rose spoke up from the doorway.
The Doctor sighed "I can't leave her…not like this", he said, looking at his girl.
"I can look after her", Rose offered "And Mickey can help you" she turned to the man who joined her "right?"
"Absolutely", Mickey agreed.
"Thank you, both of you", the Doctor said, grateful to have the pair with him. He got up and Rose took his place on the edge of the bed. The Time Lord and Mickey then left the bedroom.
"Oh, Ali", the blonde breathed "you're gonna have to work on your powers. You pass out like that again, the Doctor will go spare". The red head didn't respond, she just lay there, unconscious.
