Chapter 2
TIM was right; John, Carol and Kenny were now standing outside the lab as a loud groaning sound started up out of nowhere. They each had a stun gun raised just in case there were any hostile life forms involved in this. The three of them waited as the groaning continued.
"Hey, does that noise sound familiar to you?" John asked the other two.
"Yeah it does to me," Kenny replied.
"Me too," Carol said, "But it can't be."
"By the sound of it, it can," John said as the TARDIS materialised in front of them.
The three of them stared at it, then they lowered their stun guns.
"Now we just need to know which one it is," John said.
"Well Doctor, did it work?" Jamie asked nervously.
"I think so," the Doctor replied, "We're about twelve hours forward of when we where beforehand and now we're on Earth."
"Ay great," Jamie commented," Will we be able to find some help to try and rescue Victoria then?"
"I doubt it Jamie," the Doctor replied.
"Oh, why?"
"Well the instruments show that the year is 1973," the Doctor explained, "At this time man had only got as far as the moon so how we'd get help to get to Jupiter I don't know."
"Well we could at least see what's outside," Jamie suggested.
"Yes I suppose we should," the Doctor said and activated the scanner.
What was on the scanner was derelict; the Doctor panned it around a bit before the edge of a platform came into view along with some rails.
"We're in an underground train station Jamie," the Doctor commented, "I wonder why."
"Why what?"
"Why is it derelict?"
"Ah, well I dunno," Jamie said, "Maybe it was closed down."
"Yes maybe," the Doctor muttered.
He panned the scanner round a bit more until it focussed on three people standing on the platform.
"Now I wonder who they are," the Doctor said to himself.
"Well perhaps we should ask them," Jamie suggested.
"All right then," the Doctor said, he then opened the door.
"Its him alright," John said to the other two telepathically as the Doctor and Jamie emerged from the TARDIS, "Now we just need to work out how they got here."
"Were the intruders successfully apprehended?" the station commander asked one of the security personal.
"Only one Commander Rosen, the other two escaped in the box they arrived in."
"Right, take her to the security section, have her scanned."
"I'll arrange that immediately sir."
"Good, you are dismissed SO Harris," Commander Rosen said and Harris left.
Commander Rosen leaned back and his chair, then a voice spoke from out of one of the many consoles in the room.
"Intruders, Commander Rosen?" the voice said, it sounded alien, evil.
"Uh…Yes sir," Rosen replied hesitating slightly.
"Good," the voice said sounding very much as though it was planning something.
"Good?" Rosen replied somewhat perplexed at what he was hearing.
"Yes, good," the voice repeated, "How many of them where there?"
"Three, two males and one female," Rosen replied, "We managed to capture the female but the other two escaped."
"Hmm…" the voice paused for a few seconds, "Then she will join your ranks Commander, I believe at the moment you don't have any female's in your group."
"No, we don't sir," Rosen replied.
"Then have her join your ranks Commander, once she's been scanned that is," the voice said.
"At once sir," Rosen replied.
Victoria was lying unconscious on a couch in another large room full of consoles. Above her was a light attached to the console behind her that was pulsating, every time the light came on a large amount of data appeared on the consoles screens. Two men where examining the data with interest, there where several words which meant something to them, including Dalek, TARDIS, Cybermen.
"Well whoever this girl is she seems to be a Doctor Who fan," one of them commented and they both laughed.
The Doctor looked round the Lab with great interest, he'd always liked the set and was sad to see it go in the sixth series, he'd even considered going back in time to prevent the fire that destroyed it, but he hadn't yielded to temptation, well not yet anyway. Jamie also found the Lab interesting; it was very different from the TARDIS at any rate.
"Well Doctor, what do you think?" John asked.
"Its wonderful, absolutely wonderful," the Doctor replied.
"I'm glad you like it," TIM commented.
Jamie was rather surprised to see four domes on the ceiling talking, it reminded him of the Daleks slightly, when the speech came two lights on the Daleks head would flash and it was the same with these domes.
"Doctor, a few hours ago TIM picked up a time-space disturbance in orbit around Jupiter…"
"Oh so that's where I was," the Doctor commented.
"Yes we thought it might be you behind it when we saw you TARDIS arrive," John said.
"And Doctor," TIM said, "We want to know how you got here."
"Oh we where just escaping from that place we where in around Jupiter," the Doctor replied.
"That is not what John meant," TIM said, "We want to know how you got here."
"Ah, now you've lost me somewhat," the Doctor said.
John sighed, considering what he should do next.
"What do you two think?" he asked Carol and Kenny telepathically.
"Well I think we should just tell him what we know," Carol suggested.
"Yeah I agree, I wonder how he'll take it," Kenny added.
"Alright," John, "TIM play an episode will you."
A screen activated on one of the Lab walls, it showed an odd array of shapes in black and white, and then a face formed on the screen, the Doctor's face. A few seconds later the words DOCTOR WHO merged into view on the screen, then came up the title of the episode, THE EVIL OF THE DALEKS, EPISODE 4. The Doctor and Jamie watched in a slight state of shock as they watched the events unfold, then the Doctor turned to John looking worried.
"How did you get that?" he asked.
"Doctor, to us you are just a television show," was John's reply.
