Chapter 60.

(Harry POV)

I woke up. As Revan was still asleep next to me. I thought that Revan was going to be at Martha's. But Revan wanted to stay here with me. I know that Jenny was staying with Martha. As I got up and heading into the kitchen where not even Mum or Lily up yet. So I went and got some Coffee on. As I got some food on the go. It was finally done, as Mum came into the Kitchen.

"Hmm, Smells good," Mum said.

"Well I always did that down near Jack so," I said.

"I still can't believe I did that too him," Mum said.

"Could of been worse, Could have change his god damn personality," I said.

"Oh yeah, That would have been worse," Mum said.

"That's true," I said.

"Where's Revan," Mum said.

"She's still asleep," I said. "Lily,"

"Same," Mum said. "So,"

"So what," I said.

"Nervous," Mum said.

"About today," I said.

"Yeah," Mum said.

"A bit yeah," I said.

"Everything is going to be fine," Mum said.

"I know, Just hoping it doesn't go as Gwen's did with that gorram Shapeshifter," I said.

"Doubt it, Sweetheart," Mum said hugging me.

"Missed you," I said.

"Me too, Harry," Mum said. "Now get them 2 up while I finish this off,"

As I went to Lily first.

"Hey, Lily," I said.

"What," Lily said as she woke up. "Oh Harry,"

"Come on, Breakfast is out," I said.

"I'm coming," Lily said as I closed the door again and went back to my room as Revan was still asleep.

So I went over and got to Revan.

"Revan, Hey you, Come on," I said. But Revan only stirred. "Revan come on you, Breakfast is out," But she still only stirred. So I went closer and kissing her which when I went to pull back got her to try and stop me pulling back kissing me. But Eventually lets go. "Come on, Breakfast is out,"

"Coming," Revan said. "You know I could get used to wake up like that,"

"I know," I said.

As Revan got up and I headed back to Mum as she had it all out and Lily was there as we went to sit down. Then Revan came in and run her hand on my neck like always and sat down next to me.

As we got food into us.

XXX

After a while I was almost ready, as I was getting my tie on. It was really happening. Martha and I. Good thing I got the Sonic ready so I can get us going after we get to the airport where the Tardis was. Since I was going to take Martha somewhere perfect.

Once I got my tie on I grabbed my jacket and headed out. Where I saw Mum in her dress. As she was in Orange Dress, As I saw Lily in a Green Dress which matched her eyes. Then I saw Revan in Purple Dress.

"Well what you think," Revan said.

"Yeah, that more than works for you," I said.

"Good," Revan said.

"You ready," Mum said.

"Yeah," I said.

"Then Let's go, Don't want to be late, do you," Lily said.

As We went and got into the Car Lily Had as Mum was sitting in the front as I sat in the back with Revan.

"Shame I wasn't coming with you," Revan said.

"I know, But It's just going to be Martha and me," I said.

"I know, Go, Enjoy it, I'll see you after it sure," Revan said. "May even come with you down to Cardiff when you go back,"

"You going back down there," Mum said.

"Yeah," I said. "Jack Can't handle everything that comes through that rift, Especially now that he only has Gwen and Ianto. He is going to need all the help he can get till he has some more people,"

"I would come down but," Mum said.

"Don't worry about it Mum, Jack will get it," I said.

As we were still on our way there, Revan snuggled up to me as best she could. By the time we got there, We got out and Revan had already headed in with Mum and Lily. As I did a minute later, Where I met up with Leo. Who I asked for the best man thing. Since I could asked Jack who is working on rebuilding Torchwood again, Ianto wouldn't want to leave Jack, Gwen wouldn't leave Rhys. So Leo was a good choice.

"You worried," Leo said.

"Not really," I said as Leo gave me a look. "Okay, Maybe a bit yeah,"

"Harry, Anyone tries to talk to her, and I mean any guys, So literally tells them to bug off," Leo said.

"I could see that," I said.

Then a few minutes later. The Piano started playing and We were all ready, as I saw Martha walking in. Holy shit Martha looked beautiful. Then I saw Jenny and Maria there too. I had no idea Maria was here. Once Martha was right in front of me I could her smiling like it was nothing.

XXX

Everything worked as planned and Martha and I was married now. I also knew why Martha was smiling like nothing since all that time she was wanting to Kiss me.

"About time," Martha said.

"I know right," I said.

"So where are we going then," Martha said.

"That's a surprise," I said.

"Oh Brother," Jenny said.

"No, sis, No spoiling it," I said.

"Ah, Damn," Jenny said.

"So when are we going then," Martha said.

"Tomorrow," I said.

"Spending the night here then," Martha said.

"Well no," I said.

Eventually we had dinner and then we headed outside and I brought her over to the Tardis.

"We are staying in the Tardis, In your room," Martha said.

"No, Our Room," I said. As I went and opened the door and Brought Martha in with me. Closing the doors.

"It's hasn't changed," Martha said.

"No, She hasn't," I said. "Come on,"

As I took her with me all the way down to our room. Where I closed the door when we got into my room. As I came up behind her. Pulling her back against me.

"Hmm," Martha said. "Finally. I've got you,"

"Me too," I said. As She turned facing me. As I Kissed her. As Martha kissed me back till we weren't going to stop. As Martha started to take my top and bottoms off as I got her dress unzipped. As I then helped taking the rest of mine off. As I pull her against me and went over to the bed.

XXX

When I woke up, Martha was against me as the only thing that covered us with just that the cover. Last night was perfect. We been waiting to do that for since we met. But I wanted to make us something to eat, but I didn't want to wake Martha up. Martha looked so beautiful as she was sleeping.

As Martha Stirred.

"Hey, Beautiful," I said.

"Hey, love," Martha said.

"You okay, After last night," I said.

"Bit sore, but it was worth it," Martha said. "Finally got you,"

"I know," I said. "Hunger,"

"Yeah," Martha said.

"Come on let's get to the Kitchen," I said.

"Wait, The Tardis has a kitchen," Martha said.

"Yeah," I said.

"Then Let's go, But I not getting back into the wedding dress," Martha said.

"Oh, I got that covered," I said.

"How," Martha said as I got up and went over to a door and opened it as there was clothes in there. And some of Martha things too, As I grabbed some of mine.

"Right here," I said.

As Martha got up and walked over to me, Hugging me before kissing me. As I was kissing her back. Pulling her against me. Her skin against mine. Then we had to pull back to get some air.

"I could stay like this all day," Martha said.

"I know," I said. "Come on, Let's get dressed," As we broke apart as Martha went and grabbed some clothes for her as I got mine put on. Then Martha came back to almost ready.

"Harry, Give me a hand with this would you," Martha said as she had a dress which she could zip up. As I went over and zipped it up for her.

"There you go," I said.

"Thanks love," Martha said. "So what you think," As Martha was in a Green Dress.

"You look beautiful," I said.

"Thanks, Harry," Martha said. As I grabbed her and pulled her against me as we walked towards the Kitchen. As we got something cooking again. "So where are we going next,"

"What would you say to a trip," I said.

"Where," Martha said. "Wait back in Time and space,"

"Yeah, together," I said.

"Just like before," Martha said.

"Not exactly, One trip out, Then off to that surprise I have for us," I said.

"I thought this was it," Martha said.

"No," I said. "Got something else, So what you say,"

"Let's go, Harry," Martha said.

As Martha ran over and kissed me. As our breakfast was just finished. As Martha back up while I got it all out for us as we sat down to eat it. I was finished first. As Martha did a minute later.

"That's was brilliant Harry," Martha said.

"Good," I said. "Come on,"

As I grabbed her hand and we headed up to the Control room. I set the control's for random.

"Ready," I said.

"Let's go, Harry," Martha said. Holding onto me. As I took us off.

XXX

When we landed.

"So where are we," Martha said.

"Mars," I said.

"Mars," Martha said.

"According to this, Yes, We're on Mars, There a Base on it too. Human," I said. "Feel like checking it out,"

"Oh yeah, But how are we going to breathe," Martha said.

"There should be suits back in the Repair bay, Come on," I said as We headed there and got to it.

"So this is the repair yard," Martha said.

"Well couldn't really called it Engineering now, could I," I said. As we headed in. "There we go," As I saw the suits.

"Shame there wasn't a green one," Martha said. "Yeah, That one," As Martha went and grabbed a purple one. "Well,"

"Yeah, that so suits you," I said.

"Thanks Love," Martha said as She started to get into it as I got one in red. And started putting it on.

Once I fully got it on, I saw Martha needing some help. So I went over and helped her out.

As I got it fully on Martha apart from our helmets.

"There you go," I said.

"Thanks, Harry," Martha said. Kissing me again. "Come on, let's go,"

As we headed back to the control room as I got Martha helmet on first as I already had mine set up and I put mine on. Then Started up both of our Air tanks then Sealed of the control room and kept the airshell around. Then We headed outside and closed the door.

"Red Planet, Lovely, Come on," I said grabbing Martha's Hand as we started walking along.

That was when we found it.

"Wow," Martha said.

"That is beautiful," I said.

"That the Base then," Martha said.

"Looks like it," I said.

Then there was something in my back.

"Rotate slowly, you are under arrest, for Trespassing, Gadget-gadget," It said.

As It took was in and we got out of our suits Then got taken to the main complex building, Command post I would say.

"State you names, Ranks and Intentions," The woman said pointing a gun at us.

"Harry Tyler, My Wife Martha. Doctor, Fun," I said.

"You mind not pointing that at my husband," Martha said.

"What the hell," As someone came in said. "It's a Man and a Woman, 2 people on Mars, How?"

"They were wearing this things, I have never seen anything like it," Someone said behind us.

"What did Mission Control say," He said.

"They're out of range for 10 hours," She said.

"If we could cut the chat everyone," She said.

"Actually, Chat's second on my list, First being gun, pointed at me and my wife," I said. "But you could hurt someone with that, just put it down,"

"Oh you'd like that," She said.

"Yes, That your not pointing it at my wife. And Can you find me someone who wouldn't," I said.

"Why should I trust you," She said.

"Unless you want Torchwood or UNIT after you put it down," I said. "And 40 million miles away from Earth, My authority overrides yours,"

As She put it down.

"Keep Gadget covering them," She said.

"Oh right you control that thing," Martha said.

"Auto Glove Response," I said.

"You got it, To the right, and to the left," He said.

"It's a bit flimsy," I said.

"Gadget-gadget," It said.

"Does it have to keep saying that," I said.

"I think it's funny," He said.

"I hate funny Robots," I said.

"Excuse me, boss, Computer log says we've got 2 extra people on site, How's that possible," Someone said over the comms.

"Keep the Bio-dome Closed and when using open comms you call me Captain," She said.

"Yeah but, Who are they," She said then The Captain cut it off.

"They can't be a world state flight, We'd know about it, Therefore they got to be one of the Independents," He said. "Was it the Branson Inheritance lot? They've talked about a Mars shot for years,"

"No, You really think after what the Daleks moving Earth, Torchwood or UNIT wasn't going to keep an eye out even with whatever you got going on here," I said. "So Anyway as I already said. I'm Harry, My Wife Martha. And you are,"

"Oh come on," Captain said. "We're the first off world colonists in history, Everyone on Planet Earth Knows who we are,"

"You're the First," Martha said. "The Very first humans on Mars,"

"Then This is Bowie Base One," The Captain and I said at the same time.

"#1 Founded July 1st 2058, Established Bowie Base One in the Gusev Crater," I said.

"You've been here how long," Martha said.

"17 Months," The Captain said.

"2059, It's 2059 right now. Oh That makes you Captain Adelaide Brooke, And Ed. You're Deputy Edward Gold, Tarak Ital MD, Nurse Yuri Kerenski, Senior Technician Steffi Ehrlich, Junior Technician Roman Groom, Geologist Mia Bennett," I said. "You're only 27 years old,"

"As I said, Harry, Everyone knows our names," Brooke said.

"Oh, they'll never forget them," I said.

"What's the Date," Martha said.

"Today, What is it? Tell me the Exact Date," I said.

"November 21st 2059," Brooke said.

"Right," I said. "Ok Fine,"

"Is there something wrong," Ehrlich said.

"What's so important about my age," Mia said.

"We should go, we really should go," I said. "I'm sorry but, It's one of those very rare times when I've got no choice, It's been an honour, Seriously, A very great honour to meet you all, The Martian Pioneers, Oh Thank you, Ah, Thank you, Wait, There's 2 others, Hold on, Margaret Cain and Andrew Stone,"

"Maggie, if you want to meet the only 2 human being that you're gonna see in the next 5 years, better come take a look," Ed said.

"What is going on?" Martha Whispered.

"We need to left. Right now, that thing from before," I whispered back.

As there was a roaring of sorts.

"What was that?" Mia said.

"We really should go," I said.

"This is Central Bio-dome report immediately," Ed said.

"Show me the Bio-dome," Brooke said.

"Internal Cameras are down," Ed said.

"Show me the Exterior," Brooke said. "I'm going down there you 2 also,"

"No, I'll go, But Martha isn't," I said. As I took Martha's and passed it to her. "Get back there, you still got the key,"

"Yeah, What about you," Martha said.

"I'll be fine got this," I said pulling something out. "It will sent everything back to the monitor, you can talk to me through it to, Call me as soon as you get there," Then Kissed her. "Go," As Martha went.

"What makes me think I will allow that," Brooke said. "This started as soon as you arrived, you are not going anywhere,"

"Fine, I'll stay but my wife isn't," I said.

"Fine," Brooke said.

"Harry," Martha said. "Need a hand," As I went over and finished putting it on including the helmet.

"Remember how to activate the Tank," I said.

"Yeah," Martha said.

"And the way back," I said.

"Yeah," Martha said.

"Good, Go, See you soon," I said.

"You better," Martha said As I kissed her helmet as she headed out.

As I went with Brooke. Tarak and That bloody robot.

"What's so important that your wife wasn't staying," Brooke said.

"There a chance whatever that noise was is something bad. And this is the last place I want her, She will be safe back there," I said.

"Fine, What's so important about Mia's Age, You said she's only 27, why does it matter, what did you mean," Brooke said.

"Sometimes, I open my mouth and words come out. They sometimes not make sense," I said.

"Telling me," Tarak said.

"Thanks Doc," I said.

"Anytime, Harry," Tarak said.

"Gadget Gadget," It said.

"I hate funny robots didn't I say," I said.

"Yeah and he's not too fond of you," Roman said. "What's wrong with robots,"

"It's not the robots it's the people," I said. "Dressing them up and giving them silly voices, You're reducing them,"

"Yeah, Friend of mine, she made her domestic Robot look like a dog" Roman said.

"Ah well dogs, that's different," I said.

"But I adapted Gadget of the worker drones, those things are huge," Roman said.

"Worker Drones wouldn't they be the ones who built this base," I said.

"Yeah, As soon as the shell was lowered from Orbit. They've got a strength capacity of 15 tons," Roman said.

"The Channel is open for essential communications only," Brooke said.

"Oi, I wanted it hear it," I said.

"Sorry," Roman said.

"I've read all that stuff about you, Captain Adelaide, But one thing they never said was it worth it, The mission," I said.

"We've got excellent Results from the soil analysis," Brooke said.

"No, But all of it," I said. "Cos they say you sacrificed everything, Devoted your whole life to get here,"

"It's been chaos back home," Brooke said. "40 long years, The Climate, The ozone, The Oil apocalypse, We almost reached extinction, Then to fly above that, to stand on a world with no smoke, where the only straight line is the sunlight, yes, It's worth it,"

"Damn straight, That's the Adelaide Brooke I always wanted to meet," I said. "The Woman with starlight in her soul,"

"What's that," Brooke said.

As we ran over.

"Don't touch her," I said.

"It's Maggie," Brooke said.

"I know the procedure Maggie Can you hear me," Tarak said. "It' Tarak, Maggie, It's ok, She's still breathing, She's alive, Yuri, I've got Margaret Cain Head Trauma, I need a full Med pack,"

"I've got it Med-pack on its way," Yuri said.

As we waited for them.

"Harry," Martha said.

"Martha you back there," I said.

"Yeah, I got back to the Tardis, Are you alright," Martha said.

"For now," I said. Activating the Eye part. As it come over my right eye.

"Who that?" Martha said.

"Maggie," I said. "We came here straight after you left. Just found her,"

"What happened," Martha said.

"No Idea," I said. "Don't touch her, use the gloves," As Yuri and Ed got here.

"Do what he says. Get her to sickbay, Put her in isolation," Tarak said.

"We're going to the Bio dome, Tarak with me, Yuri can take care of her," Brooke said. "Ed got back, Gadget stand guard keep an eye on this area,"

"Gadget, Gadget," It said.

"Captain, You're gonna need me," Ed said. "Andy's the only other crew member out here and if that's wasn't an accident, Then he's gone wild,"

"You've deserted your post consider that an official warning," Brooke said. "Now get back to work, Harry,"

As we pushed on.

"Captain, That sound we heard from the Bio dome I've run it through diagnostics," Ehrlich said. "According to the computer. It's Andy, It registers as the voice print of Andy Stone,"

"Understood, Double check thanks," Brooke said.

"Air pressure stabilised," Tarak said.

Then we went in.

"Andrew," Brooke said. "Andrew Stone? It's Captain Brooke, Andy report, I need to see you, Where are you?"

As I went and got us some light.

"There you go," I said.

"What's that device," Brooke said.

"Screwdriver," I said.

"Are you the doctor or the Janitor," Brooke said.

"Imagine that being said to Dad," I said as I heard Martha laughing. "I don't know, Sounds like me, The Maintenance man of the universe," As Martha laughed harder.

"You, stay with me, don't step out of my sight, Tarak Go to External Door South, make sure it's intact," Brooke said.

"Yes Ma'am," Tarak said.

"Quite an achievement, First flower on Mars in 10,000 years, and you're growing veg," I said.

"It's that lot, They're already planning Christmas dinner, Last year it was dehydrated protein this year they want the real thing," Brooke said.

"Still fair enough, Christmas," I said.

"If we must," Brooke said.

"Nice birds," Martha said.

"You've got birds," I said.

"It's part of the project to keep the insect population down," Brooke said.

"Good sign," I said.

"In what way?" Brooke said.

"Well they're still alive," I said.

"Captain, Good news, It's Maggie She's awake she's back with us," Yuri said.

"What about Andy? We can't find him. Was he all right," Brooke said.

"I don't know, I just," Maggie said.

"If you remember anything let me know straightaway," Brooke said.

"Yuri does she know how she ended up in the Tunnel," Ed said.

"And Keep the Comms clear everything goes through me, Got that," Brooke said.

"What is going on?" Martha said.

"No Idea yet," I said.

"This is Sickbay, we had a situation, Maggie's condition has," Yuri said. "I don't know, I don't know what it is, It's water, Just pouring out,"

"Yuri, Clam down, Just tell me what's happened to her," Brooke said.

"The skin is sort of broken around the mouth and she's exuding water like she's drowning," Yuri said.

"Tarak, this area's unsafe, We're going back, Tarak TARAK!" Brooke said.

"Where was he?" I said.

Then we went that way. Then Brooke stopped and saw Tarak, and Andy was doing something.

"What is he doing," Martha said.

"No idea," I said. "Andy just leave him alone,"

"Step away from him," Brooke said.

"I can help," I said.

"I order you to stop, Stop or I'll shoot," Brooke said.

"Andy pleas take your hand away from him and listen to me," I said. "There now, That's better,"

"Harry get out of there," Martha said. "Something is wrong, When has that ever worked out for good,"

"So you must be Andy," I said. "We've got to go," Then we took off the door. "Set the seals at Maximum," As we got in and closed it just in time.

"Captain we need you back here," Ehrlich said.

"Just tell me Maggie is contained can you confirm Ed?" Brooke said.

"Confirmed," Ed said. "She's locked in,"

"Keep surveillance till I get back, and close down all water supplies, All pipes and outlets don't consume anything, Have you got that Everyone? That's an order, Don't drink the water," Brooke said. "Don't even touch it, Not one drop,"

"Can you talk," I said. "Human being are 60% water which them the perfect host,"

"What for?" Brooke said.

"I don't know, I never will, Because I've got to go, Whatever's started here, I can't see it to the end, I can't," I said.

"Why not?" Martha said.

"Not again," I said. "This thing's airtight, yes,"

"And therefore watertight," Brooke said.

"Depends how clever the water is," I said.

"They're fusing the system," Brooke said.

"Out," I said.

As we got out and I closed it as we ran and made it to Gadget. Starting to work on it.

"Harry, we haven't got time," Brooke said.

"They can run faster than us, We need a lift," I said. "There get on,"

"That thing goes at 2 miles an hour," Brooke said.

"Not any more, Now come on," I said.

"Gadget Gadget," It said.

"Shut up and do it already," I said as the Flames roar as we sped off. Till we got there.

"The Central dome airlock have got Hardinger seals there's no way they can get in," Brooke said.

"Come on," I said.

"I thought you hated robots," Brooke said.

"I do," I said.

As it got in and seal the door.

"We're safe, It's hermetically sealed, they can get in," Brooke said.

"Water is patient, Adelaide, Water just waits, It wears down the clifftops, the mountains the whole of the world. Water always wins, Come on," I said as we got out and headed for the Med Dome.

"Harry you alright," Martha said.

"Fine," I said.

"Bio dome tunnel is out of Bounds Andy and Tarak are infected, repeat Infected make no contact," Brooke said. "And if they make any move tell me, I'm going to the Medical Dome,"

"Blimey its a distance, you could do with bikes in this place," I said.

"Every pound in weight equals 3 tons of fuel," Brooke said.

"Yeah I know, But bikes, just pedal bikes even," I said.

As we got there.

"Has that door got a hardinger seal," Brooke said.

"No just basic," Ed said.

"Then the moment she heads for the door, we evacuate got that," Brooke said.

"Pulse is low, Electrical activity in the brain seems to be going haywire," Ed said.

"Can she talk," Brooke said.

"Don't know, She was before we noticed the chance but," Yuri said.

"Maggie can you hear me? Do you know who I am?" Brooke said. "Your commanding officer, Captain Adelaide Brooke. Can you tell me what happened,

"Hoorghwall in Schtochman ahn warrellinsh och fortabellan iin Hoorgwahn," I said.

"What Language is that?" Ed said.

"Ancient North Martian," I said.

"Don't be ridiculous," Brooke said.

"Well she recognised it," I said. "And her eyes are different, not like Tarak and Andy's, They're clear, like she's closer to human,"

"Not close enough for me," Ed said.

"Where do you get your water from?" I said.

"the Ice Field," Brooke said. "That's why we chose the crater we're on top of an underground glacier,"

"Tons of Water, marvellous," I said.

"But every single drop is filtered it's screen it's safe," Yuri said.

"Looks like it Yeah," I said.

"If Something was frozen down there a viral life form held in the ice for all those years," Ed said.

"Look at her mouth, All blackened like there's some sort of fission," I said. "This thing whatever it is doesn't just hide in water, it creates water, tell me what you want,"

"She wanted Earth, A world full of water," Yuri said.

"Captain with me," Ed said. "I'm sorry but it's an unknown infection and it's spreading that demands Action Procedure 1,"

"What's that," Martha said.

"Evacuation," I said. "Wow, Action one is Evacuation,"

"We're going home, This is Captain Brooke I'm declaring Action one Repeat to all crewmembers, this is action one with immediate effect, Evacuate the base," Brooke said. "Steffi what's your estimate on shuttle viability,"

"It's a 9 month flight it'll take 3 hours to load what we need," Steffi said.

"You've got 20 minutes, And give me a report on Andy and Tarak," Brooke said.

"Still in the Bio dome tunnel they're just standing there like they're waiting," Steffi said.

"What's wrong?" Martha said.

"They can't go they could be taking it back to earth without realising it," I said.

"Keep an eye on them and make that 20 minutes 15," Brooke said. "Ed Line up the shuttle go straight to ignition status,"

"Doing it now," Ed said.

"But what about Maggie," Yuri said.

"She stay behind we've got no way to contain her on board, Close this place down I want the power directed to the shuttle," Brooke said.

"Of course the only problem is," I said.

"Thank you Harry, Your space suit will be returned and good luck," Brooke said.

"The Problem is this thing is clever, It didn't infect the bird or the insects it chose the humans, you were chosen and I told you Adelaide water can wait," I said. "Tarak Changed straight away, but when Maggie was infected it stayed hidden inside her, No doubt, so it could infiltrate the central Dome, Which means,"

"Any one of us could already be infected, We've all been drinking the same water," Brooke said.

"And if you take that back to Earth, One drop. That's all it takes one drop," I said.

"But, We're only presuming infection," Brooke said. "If we can find out how this thing got through when it got through, Yuri Continue Action one, I'm going to inspect the Ice field,"

"Right, I should leave, Finally I should leave, Yuri me old mate no point in me seeing the ice field," I said. "Oh Screw it, Brooke," As I ran after her.

"What is it? What's happening?" Martha said.

"Fixed point Martha," I said. As I caught up. "All I'm saying in bikes foldaway bikes don't weigh a thing," As we got to it. "Wow. They tell legends of Mars from long ago, Of a fine and noble race who built an empire out of snow, The Ice Warriors,"

"I haven't got time for stories," Brooke said.

"Perhaps they found something down there, Used their might and their wisdom to freeze it," I said.

"Harry we need to find any sort of change in the water process we've got a date the infection," Brooke said.

As I went and got into the system.

"You don't look like a coward, But all you've wanted to do is leave," Brooke said. "You know so much about us,"

"Well you're famous," I said.

"It's like you know more," Brooke said.

"This moment, This precise moment in Time it's like, It's only a theory what do I know but Certain moments in Time are fixed, Tiny precious moments, everything else is in Flux anything can happen but those certain moments they have to stand, This Base on Mars, With you Adelaide Brooke this is one vital moment, What happens here must always happen," I said.

"Which is what?" Brooke said.

"I don't know," I said. "I think something wonderful happens, Something that started 50 years ago, isn't that right,"

"I've never told anyone that," Brooke said.

"You told your daughter, And maybe she tells the story to her daughter, the Day Earth was stolen and moved across the universe, and you," I said.

"I saw the Daleks," Brooke said. "We looked up, the sky had changed Everyone was running screaming, And my father took hold of me, took me back into the house then he went back out to find my Mother, I never saw him again or my mother, They were never found, But out on the streets, there was panic and burning. I went to the window. And there in the sky, It saw me, Harry and It saw me, It stared at me, It looked right into me, And then it just went away, I knew that night I knew I would follow it,"

"Not for revenge," I said.

"What would be the point of that?" Brooke said.

"That's what makes you remarkable, And that's how you create history," I said.

"What do you mean," Brooke said.

"Imagine it Adelaide, If you began a journey that takes the human race all the way out to the stars, It begins with you, And then your Granddaughter you inspire her, so that in 30 years Susie Fontana Brooke Is the pilot of the first Warp 1 ship to Proximal Centauri, And then everywhere, With her children and her children's children forging the way, to the Dragon star, The Celestial Belt of the Winter Queen, The Map of the water snake wormholes. But everything starts with you, Adelaide," I said. "From 50 years ago to right here, today, Imagine,"

"Who are you," Brooke said. "Why are you telling me this, Harry, Why tell me,"

"I don't know," I said.

"Andy Stone, he logged on yesterday," Brooke said.

"Maintenance log 21.20 November 2059, #3 water filter's bust, and guess what the spares they sent don't fit, what a surprises, Over and out," Stone said.

"A Filter, One tiny little filter and then the flood," I said.

"But that means the infection arrived today, And the water's only cycled out of the Bio dome after a week, the rest of us can't be infected we can leave," Brooke said. "Ed We're clean, How are we doing?"

"Shuttle's active Stage one," Ed said.

As we started to Run back.

"You were right, Harry," Brooke said.

"What about?" I said.

"Bikes," Brooke said.

"Ha," I said as we got back there.

"Here, Now get to your ship, I'm saving my people you save yours, I know what this moment is, It's the moment we escape, not get out," Brooke said.

As I headed out and got into mine and got it sorted and then went for the airlock.

Then got in and seal it but when I tried to Head out I couldn't.

"Access denied," It said as I tried again. Same thing.

"Tell me what happens," Brooke said.

"I don't know," I said.

"Yes you do, Now tell me," Brooke said.

"You should be with the others," I said.

"Tell me," Brooke said. "I could ramp up the pressure in that airlock and crush you,"

"Except you won't, You could have shot Andy but you didn't. Imagine. Imagine you knew something, Imagine you found yourself somewhere I don't know Pompeii, Imagine you were in Pompeii," I said.

"What the hell's that got to do with it," Brooke said.

"You tried to save them, but in doing so you make it happen, Anything I do just makes it happen," I said.

"Captain we need you right now," Steffi said.

"I'm still here," Brooke said.

"You're taking Action one, there are 4 more standard action procedures and Action 5 is," I said.

"Detonation," Brooke said.

"The final option, The Nuclear device at the heart of the central dome, Today 21/11/2059, Captain Brooks activates that device, Taking the base and all her crew members with her, No one ever knows why, But you were saving Earth, That what inspires your Grand daughter, She takes your people out into the galaxy, because you die, On Mars, You die today, She flies out there like she's trying to meet you," I said.

"I won't die," Brooke said. "I will not,"

"But you death created the future," I said.

"Help me," Adelaide said. "Why won't you help, Harry, If you know all if this why can't you change it,"

"I can't," I said.

"Why can't you find a way," Brooke said.

"Because, that future could fade, drifts away, Sometimes I can, Sometimes I do, Most times I can save someone, or anyone, But I can't do that this time, As much as I want to. You wonder all your life why that Dalek spared you. I think It knew, Your death is fixed in time for ever," I said. "And that's right, I wish I could change it but I don't know what will happen then,"

"You'll die here too," Brooke said.

"No," I said.

"What's gonna save you," Brooke said.

"You Adelaide. You," I said.

As It started to depressurize.

"Damn you," Brooke said.

"I know," I said.

As I started headed out.

"Harry that must be something we can do," Martha said.

"What change it," I said.

"You couldn't do that in Pompeii, I know that, But you can here," Martha said.

"You have no idea what that would do," I said.

"Maybe it stays the same just her tells her granddaughter herself," Martha said.

As I was almost out of the base area and started headed towards the Tardis.

"2 of them has already got hit. We can't just sit back and do nothing," Martha said.

"Captain the shuttle is down," Ed said.

"What the hell do you mean," Brooke said.

"Compromised, It was Maggie," Ed said.

"Get out of there," Brooke said.

"Too late," Ed said. "They want this ship to get to earth, got no choice. You never could forgive me, see you later," As there was a bang which knocked me over.

"Harry, do you hear me," Martha said.

"Yeah," I said.

"We can't just sit back and do nothing, Harry," Martha said.

"Dad and I are the last 2 left. Screw it," I said. "Martha when I say now use Emergency programme 3 It will be the Tardis to me. I'm going back,"

As I got in there and got something to seal it.

"Mia use this seal it now," I said. "Yuri Open emergency Oxygen, Adelaide Get your ass up, That's better, the Dome's still got integrity, 10 feet of steel combination, made in Liverpool, Magnificent Workmanship,"

"It can't be stopped, Don't die with us," Adelaide said.

"No, Cause You know My Dad and I are the last of our kind which means screw time, For what I know Everything stays the same just you Tell her yourself," I said.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Yeah 3 knock and your out," I said. "Water and electricity bad mix, "What else have we got,"

"But there's no way to fight them," Adelaide said.

"Heat, They use water, So we can use heat, Works against the Ice Warrior and the Flood, Ramp up the environment control steam them," I said.

"But you said we die," Adelaide said.

"Yeah, rules my Dad told me once and now what screw it this time round, This time I not letting it happen. Not when I am Around," I said.

"Environment Controls are down, Sorry Harry it looks like history got other ideas," Adelaide said.

"I'm not beaten yet," I said. "You got spacesuit in the next section, Damn," As I saw water. "We aren't fight the Flood, we fighting time itself. And we are going to win this one,"

"Somethings happening to the Glacier," Yuri said.

"Martha use it now," I said. As the connection cut off. "Adelaide, Use action 5 now, Set it for a minute," As the Tardis Starting to show up. "Adelaide,"

"Almost ready, Engaging it now," Adelaide said.

"Implementing Captain's Protocol, Nuclear device now active and primed," It said.

As the Tardis got here. As I ran and open it. "Get in, All of you come on," As Yuri and Mia got in.

"Adelaide come on," I said.

"Why," Adelaide said.

"Be with her, Tell her yourself what happened, why you went out, Don't let her grow up without a Grandmother," I said as she got in and I closed the door and then went and got us out of there. Then Took off the suit. Then Got back to the Console and there was a bang which we felt. "There goes the Nuke. That stops them. Now let's get you home," As I set the coordinates for home and landed us down. Then Went and opened the door as We headed out. Mia came out a bit fast. "I know she can do that,"

"What is that, it's bigger on the inside, how," Mia said.

"Doesn't matter, Got us out just in time," I said. "And it got you home,"

"That's my house," Adelaide said.

"You 3, It's 21st November 2059. Same day on Earth," I said.

"Who are you," Mia said.

"Long story," I said.

"Thank you," Mia said.

"I know," I said as she started to head off.

"Look after her," Adelaide said.

"Yes ma'am," Yuri said. Going to her. as they walked off.

"You saved us," Adelaide said.

"Yeah, I know what it was like to grow up with some one I loved and I couldn't really let that happen to someone else," I said.

"But I'm supposed to be dead," Adelaide said.

"Not anymore, I checked it before we landed. It's still the same just you being alive," I said.

"But Susie, My Grand daughter," Adelaide said. "The person she's supposed to become, Might never existed now,"

"No, It will still happen, Just you telling her yourself, making her choose to go out there, Nothing Changed," I said. "As least she have you growing up with her, Oh that's right you place is all locked up," As I opened it with my sonic, "All yours,"

"Is there nothing you can't do," Adelaide said.

"I don't know, Go on, First thing in the morning call her. Be with them," I said.

As I headed for the Tardis.

"Why?" Adelaide said.

"Because I couldn't let someone else lose someone important to them or let you lot die. Not this time," I said. As I went for the door.

"Harry," Adelaide said.

"Yeah," I said.

"Thank you, And I'm sorry," Adelaide said.

"For what," I said.

"Something happened and you made a choice, But I can't tell you, Only thing I can say is that. Thank you, you saved everyone that day, Doubt Anyone of us will see you again," Adelaide said. "Least I could do for saving us," As she walked in.

Then I got into the Tardis and Set the coordinates for where I was taking Martha. But What did Adelaide mean by that, What day. What Choice.

That's all for this chapter.
