3. Chloe to the Rescue.
Now that Chloe is in a cubicle unseen by anyone else, she thinks of home and activates her Wristwatch Tardis...
At home, she uses her own Tardis summoner for the original Crystelle's Tardis. The Tardis had been returned to the Gallifreyan Tardis store, but the Tardis summoner still works! .
She enters the Tardis and approaches the Console.
"Tardis, please could you show me the internal layout of the Judoon Master Palace prison."
A floor layout plan appears on the screen. Chloe studies it to see where Crystelle One is likely to be held.
Chloe has more than one worry just now. Trelim is likely to escape, and she needs to alert the Judoon to this.
A line of small cells seems the most likely place to find Crystelle One. She thinks of one of the cells and activates her Wristwatch Tardis...
The cell looks just like the one she was in before she left the Judoon prison. She's back in the bathroom again! .
A bustling noise of many Judoon entering the bathroom beyond her cell door briefly alarms her.
Another being enters the room, a bipod lifeform judging by the rhythm of the sharp tapping of the footsteps. . "My kind Judoon," a lady's voice says. "I've called you here to ask why you arrested Crystelle."
"The Gallifreyan authorities requested it," the Judoon reply is translated.
Chloe hears the door to the foyer open and close. Suddenly she realises that this is the same meeting she had visited earlier, and her earlier self will enter the very cubicle she is in in a moment. This isn't a row of detention cells; this is a personal relief facility! .
She quickly climbs a wall and wedges herself across the cubicle near the top. Her earlier self enters the cubicle below her wedged position and soon departs. Now she can lower herself to the floor safely.
Recalling the floor layout plan she'd seen earlier, she thinks of another row of cells and activates her Wristwatch Tardis...
Her new cellmate appears to be asleep, but she doesn't want to be in the same cell as a Zygon! She thinks of the area just outside the cell door and activates her wristwatch again... .
Now she can walk along outside the cells and find Crystelle One. Why hadn't she thought of that before! .
Crystelle One is in the next cell. She stifles a sharp intake of breath when she sees Chloe. "How did you get in here?" she whispers. "It's crawling with Judoon." .
"They're all having a meeting with someone who's annoyed they've detained you. A lady, I think."
"That'll be Petrozena. How do you know all this?" Crystelle One asks.
"I wandered into their meeting," Chloe says casually. .
"But..." Crystelle One knows no-one can just wander into a Judoon meeting. But maybe one deliberately called to be in a bathroom might be different? .
"Apparently, the Gallifreyan authorities requested your arrest on two counts; attempting to summon your Tardis when it hadn't been authorised, and for taking me there - an additional unauthorised lifeform." .
Crystelle One groans. "And we must somehow prevent the Master's escape!" .
It all seems very tricky now!
Sounds of multiple heavy boot steps returning herald the approaching Judoon. .
"Hide, quick!" Crystelle One says, desperate for Chloe not to gain a criminal record with the Judoon. That would follow her wherever she went in the Universe.
But it's too late. Chloe has been seen. .
"Name?" a Judoon officer places a hand on Chloe's shoulder. The translator is with him.
She can't go anywhere and even if she tried she wouldn't get far!
"Chloe." She's fearful for her reputation, but what can she do?
"What are you doing in here? How did you get in here?" The Judoon are incensed that she has breached their security.
Chloe launches into a defence more like an attack. "You left me alone with the Master in the foyer earlier! Of course, I did everything I could to escape from him!"
This takes the Judoon by surprise. "You weren't left with the Master. We know you weren't."
"The Master is in Trelim's body right now!" Chloe announces. "You left him in the foyer. You may yet catch him before he escapes!"
It takes a while for any of this to sink in and take effect. They are far more concerned about how Chloe has penetrated past their security. .
"Who was your meeting with in the bathroom?" Chloe demands to know. "Was it Petrozena?"
She has heard the name only a few times, but Petrozena ought to be in charge.
One of the Judoon steps forward with a key to the cell. "Crystelle out!" he bellows and unlocks the cell door. Crystelle One steps out. "Chloe in!" Chloe is suddenly propelled, objecting, into the cell.
It seems Petrozena has prevailed with the Judoon on Crystelle One's behalf, but Chloe is now at the sharp end. .
Crystelle One turns to Chloe as she is almost dragged out of the cell area. "Don't escape!" she calls out.
This is unfortunate as Chloe has the means to easily escape. Crystelle One knows this. Why did she tell Chloe not to escape?
If Chloe escapes she will have escape on her record. Crystelle One believes she can put all this right herself.
