If Rusty had been human, it supposed it would have laughed at how easy it was to kill that Dalek. Clearly this base was in a worse state that it had believed, as it only took one shot to kill the Dalek, and it had been at a lower power. Rusty wanted the outer technology to still relatively be intact, as it needed information. It placed its arm onto one of the spheres on the Dalek's armour and a flood of information swept through Rusty's mind as it now knew the schematics of the building and where captives were being held. Rusty turned around to head to where they were, when it found itself face to face with a blond woman.

"Oh Rusty! What a surprise." the blond woman said to the Dalek. Rusty stared at her, it's advance technology analysing her until it figured out who this woman was, judging her sonic probe and two hearts as evidence of her identity, which was backed up by how she knew Rusty and how the Daleks were aware of what could happen in regeneration.

"DOCTOR." Rusty responded, observing the Time Lady. "WHY ARE YOU HERE?"

"Could ask the same about you." the Doctor responded, as she resumed using her sonic screwdriver to try and open the door.

"HUMAN ASSOCIATE JOURNEY BLUE WAS CAPTURED BY DALEKS FOR EXPERIMENTATION." Rusty explained, it's mutated but intelligent mind acknowledging how the Doctor would be useful in this situation. "I HAVE COME DALEK BASE TO FREE HER."

"Wait Journey Blue? I know that name." the Doctor said as she paused, thinking deeply. Suddenly her eye lit up with realization and excitement. "Oh I remember! She was that soldier who went with me and Clara when we were shrunk and entered your body. What's she doing with you?"

"SHE IS AN ALLY."

"So she's like...a companion?" the Doctor asked hesitantly.

Rusty almost told the Doctor that she was wrong, when it actually thought about it. Rusty did travel with Journey Blue, and enjoyed the benefits of using her skills and resources to kill Daleks. And as everyone knew, that was the point of the Doctor's companions. To be tools to fight Daleks and other enemies of the Doctor.

"CORRECT."

"Strange that you've never mentioned her the last time we met. Then again, I was a little busy to focus on what you had been doing for millions of years." the Doctor said as the door opened by sliding into the wall.

"I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. EXPLAIN."

"Time traveler, remember?" she asked Rusty as she gestured at herself with the sonic screwdriver, as if that would help remind Rusty of something everyone knew about the Doctor. "I met a version of you in the future."

"UNDERSTOOD. WHY ARE YOU HERE?" Rusty asked, following her through the doorway and into a plain grey hallway.

"Not so loud. Are you trying to get us caught?" the Doctor asked Rusty, stopping to look at it. "If you must know, I was on my way to pick up my friends Yaz, Ryan and Graham from Earth after they wanted a break from nearly being blown up by a sonic grenade, when I got a call from professor Edwin Bracewell. He's a-"

"AN ANDROID CREATED BY THE DALEKS." Rusty interrupted her.

"Do I need to shush you? Because I will." the Doctor told Rusty. "Let me guess, you know that because of the Dalek pathweb?"

"AND FROM YOUR MEMORIES."

"Right. Well because of how long lived androids are he decided to spend his time investigating and learning about the Daleks, in hopes he could change them." the Doctor explained. "But he was captured and only had enough time to send me a message."

"THE ANDROID WILL LIKELY BE HELD IN THE SAME LOCATION AS JOURNEY BLUE." Rusty informed the Doctor. "AN ALLIANCE WILL IMPROVE OUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS."

"I suppose it would." the Doctor replied, looking at Rusty hesitantly. "But how do I know I can trust you?"

"I AM NOT A GOOD DALEK." Rusty responded, and it meant it. A good Dalek would be killing the Doctor right now, not working with her.

"And I'm a good Dalek am I?" the Doctor asked with a look that seemed to suggest it was painful to say that sentence.

"CORRECT." Rusty responded, not sure why the Doctor didn't seem to understand that fact yet. Every Dalek knew that the only creature in the universe that matched a Dalek's hatred for all life that is not Dalek, is the Doctor's hatred for the Daleks.

"Ok then. Let's team up." the Doctor said brightly, clearly trying to ignore what Rusty had said. "Let's get going shall we? There's no time to lose."

So in case anyone is actually reading this, I would like to know what your thoughts are of it so that if there is anything you dislike I can try to improve on it.
