I decided to leave the control right after, I had to check the data to see if anything got ruined and I didn't feel like socializing. While most of my equipment stayed on the tardis I had brought out a few scans that continued to work non-stop trying to get a read about the situation.

While I told the Doctor I hadn't figured out much of anything, that wasn't the complete truth. The writings that were unearthed by the drilling we're still untranslated by the Tardis but they did have a few similarities with known languages. It was similar to the ancient writings of the Eternals, but not enough that it could be used as a deciphering key.

Another clue was the soil samples. The samples we're strange, so much so that the apes couldn't figure anything from them. They defied all forms of analysis, it had no detectable mass, heat, quantifiable age or any kind of radiation. They also gave of a deeply unsettling feeling to however touched it.

In all of Nari's memories, there was something that gave of the same feeling. During the Time War, a piece of Dalek technology had been discovered that gave of similar readings. Nari had been one of the people who had analyzed it, it had been a top-secret project. The conclusion was that it might have been a prototype for a Void Ship. The Council never figured out if the bloody Daleks actually created a workable one.

If I wasn't mistaken, it seemed like this whole planet was similar to that. Not exactly for traveling through the Void, but actually stuck between the Void and Reality. But if that was true, it should have remained hidden. This wasn't something the apes could just find with a few of their probes. It also explained why it wasn't in the Tardis database, because it was stuck between it wouldn't register in time. It was stuck between time and space, that and a black hole.

This wasn't something natural, it was ridiculous if it was. I mean a whole planet stuck between time and space, and the only way it could possibly not be in such a situation was if it got sucked into the black hole into oblivion.

'It's like it's being forced to suicide' Rina's voiced sounded through my mind.

"Well, it's the Devil after all." I replied, with a shrug. According to Rina's memories, down that pit was the Devil. I got to say I'm a skeptic, a gigantic red demon with horns? If it really was the devil how the hell did apes known how it looked like back in the time where they didn't even have plumbing?

Either way, someone had traped this thing between a sword and a hard rock and while doing it they had broken quite a few laws of science. And I really wanted to know how they did it.

When I returned to the control room the first thing I noticed was the Doctor's distressed face as he argued with Captain Ape.

"We can't divert the drilling." The ape said, shaking his head.

"But I need my ship." The Doctor pleaded. "It's all I've got. Literally the only thing."

I quickly understood what was happening. His Tardis must have gone down with mine, except the idiot didn't make a Stattenheim remote control. I remember the second Doctor had one, but after the Master tried to steal it he probably didn't make more. But these days Tardises are a dying breed, he should take measures to protect his.

The ape denied him and then left the control room along with Ida. Only the Doctor, the blonde ape and an Ood remained.

"I'm not giving you a lift." I said, making them notice my presence in the room.

"Rani!" The Doctor exclaimed, as if he just figured out I was still alive. Seriously, he didn't even have such a reaction the first time he saw me at that party in the other universe.

"What?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

"Where's your Tardis?" He asked, quickly marching towards me. "Get me down there, come on."

"My Tardis was parked in storage five." I replied with a shrug, in a relaxed tone.

"Five to eight caved in." The blonde ape said, recalling the previous information.

"Yup, mine is down there with her sister." I confirmed, with a nod.

"Damn it." The Doctor cursed loudly, before stopping and staring at me with a skeptical look. "Why are you so damn relaxed? Stuck with apes in the middle of nowhere, without a way out ... you should be cursing and threatening everything in your path."

"I guess yoga does work wonders." I replied with an amused expression on my face. That description would actually be me if I didn't have a way out of this ape sanctuary.

"Rose, could you give us a minute please." The Doctor asked, but didn't look at the girl, instead, he was inspecting my expressions.

"Yeah sure." The blonde replied, using her arms to hug herself and left the room. Now it was just two timelords and a Ood.

"The ape left, so what do you want?" I asked as I leaned back into the control panel.

"Don't think I didn't notice what you did last time, and I'm not going to let you do it twice." He replied, narrowing his eyes at me. "Last time you changed the subject, and the conversation when in a whole different direction that you never answered me. So, what's wrong with you? And yes Rani, I am worried."

"Nothing's wrong, I'm marvelous." I replied with a tight smile. Of course, he noticed I had changed the subject last time. I just didn't think he would bring it up again. Hell, last time I had to bring up our past issues for him to forget it, what would I need to pull out of my sleeve this time?

"Now you are, but you weren't. The scans showed that your brain had overloaded with information, and you know that's serious. We're Time Lords, our brains don't overload. So what could possibly have forced that? What did you do?" He asked with a frown. We had our issues, but even I could tell he was worried.

"It won't happen again if that's why you're asking." I replied with a sigh. It wouldn't because Rina and Nari had taken care of that. It might have been from the merge of consciousness, or maybe it had to do with Rina's knowledge of the future. Either way, as long as we have walls separating us we would be fine.

He stared at me for a good while before giving in and nodding. "Ok. But what about your Tardis?"

"Just because you're lame and have no way of getting the hell out of this joint doesn't mean I don't." I snarked, gloating in his face.

He glanced at her expression for a bit before his lips twitched in amusement. "I guess someone has been learning ape lingo."

"I guess someone still behaves like a time tot." I replied, glaring at him. Before turning my back at him and leaving the room.

I was reading my latest data in the Ood habitation because I was waiting for one of the Ood to make me coffee. They were an interesting species, but what made them more interesting was the emotions I could feel from Rina, and curiously also Nari. Now that we had walls, I didn't feel everything they felt but if it was strong enough I could sense it.

The Ood had such an impact on both of them. From Nari, I just felt her hate towards humankind whenever an Ood was around. At first, I thought it was because they were slaves, but then I remembered I was talking with Nari who didn't have much empathy towards others. But Rina also felt disgusted towards her own kind and guilt whenever she saw the Ood. After inquiring the only response I got from her was 'The circle must be broken', whatever that meant.

One of the apes was one the other side of the room, minding his business when the Doctor and the blonde came in.

"Evening." The other time lord greeted.

"Only us." The Blonde said.

"The mysterious couple. How are you, then? Settling in?" The Ape, whose name I have forgotten, said.

"Yeah. Sorry, straight to business, the Ood how do they communicate? I mean, with each other." The Doctor inquired, before giving me a glance. He knew I was listening in.

"Oh, just empaths. There's a low-level telepathic field connecting them. Not that that does them much good. They're basically a herd race. Like cattle." The ape replied, and I could feel Rina's desire to punch this guy in the face.

"This telepathic field. Can it pick up messages?" The Doctor asked, looking at the Ood.

"Because I was having dinner, and one of the Ood said something, well, odd." Fred the Second said, and I rolled my eyes at her little wordplay.

"Hmm. An odd Ood." The other ape joked.

"And then I got something else on my er, communicator thing." The blonde continued.

"Oh, be fair. We've got whole star systems burning up around us. There are all sorts of stray transmissions. Probably nothing. Look, if there was something wrong, it would show. We monitor the telepathic field. It's the only way to look after them. They're so stupid, they don't even tell us when they're ill." The ape explained.

"Monitor the field. That's this thing?" The Doctor asked, looking at the reading that showed basic 5.

" Yeah. But like I said, it's low-level telepathy. They only register basic five." The ape replied as he said this the number started to go up.

"Well, that's not basic five. Ten, twenty. They've gone up to basic thirty." The Doctor commented, and the Ood in the room lifted their heads at the same time.

"But they can't." The ape replied in shock, and I finally got up from my seat. I guess it's time to face the music.

"Well, ape boy, they don't call this the impossible planet for nothing." I said as I got a closer look at the Ood.

" Doctor, the Ood. What does basic thirty mean?" Rose asked, before turning towards me with an icy look. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm drawn to things I don't understand." I replied with a shrug.

"Well, it means that they're shouting, screaming inside their heads." The ape replied instead of the Doctor, also stopping the blonde monkey from continuing with her remarks towards me.

"Or something's shouting at them." The Doctor and I said at the same time and shared a look.

"But where is it coming from? What is it saying? What did it say to you?" The ape asked the other human in the room.

"Something about the beast in the pit." The blonde replied

"Great, is anybody else feeling like we just stepped into the village of the damned or is it just me?" I asked with a slight frown.

"Dial down your sarcasm." The Doctor said with a huff, and I could see him rolling his eyes at me. I bet you're going to regret that when the thing in the pit starts the possession party up in here.

"What about your communicator? What did that say?" The Ape asked.

"He is awake." Rose replied

At that exact moment, all the Ood in the room said in a strong voice at the same time. "And you will worship him."

"Yup, definitely village of the damned." I said in a bored tone, even if I was slightly worried about that thing down there. I mean, it made someone go against the laws of science just to imprison it. Which means that even to someone who could do such a godly thing that demon downstairs was a danger.

"What the hell?" The human male said shocked.

"He is awake." The Doctor said, trying to get a reaction.

"And you will worship him." All of the Ood said once more.

"Worship who?" The Doctor asked, but the Ood remained quiet. "Who's talking to you? Who is it?"

"Parley-ing with the possessed won't change the fact that they are possessed." I told the Doctor who looked at me with a frown.

"What do you know?" He asked me, unamused.

"I know that a high telepathic force as just crushed a low telepathic field like it was nothing. If it can do that, the mind of a human with no telepathic abilities or defenses would be child's play." I replied, trying to cross the message that every since entity in the ship except for us was a liability.

The Doctor's eyes widened, understanding flashing across his face when the base shock.

"Emergency hull breach. Emergency hull breach." The computer voiced, right after the shockwave.

"Which section?" The Ape asked, nervous.

Before it could answer, the voice of the Captain sounded through the rooms.

" Everyone, evacuate eleven to thirteen. We've got a breach. The base is open. Repeat, the base is open!" Even though the coms one could see that the man was worried.

We looked at each other and ran for it.

A/N: Hi guys, here's an update. This isn't one of my most liked fics but it is one of my favorites to write for sure. So what did you guys think? I know a few of you were skeptical of Rani being there for weeks and not figuring out anything. In a way you were right, it's just Rani isn't one to share. Did you like it? Next chapter down the pit we go.

Tell me what you think and any questions down below,
