Episode One. Primalities and Formalities.
2nd, November, 2010, Glasgow.
"I'm sorry- but do I know you?" The Doctor frowned at Lauren who was now up and opening a drawer of a mahogany desk beside the leather couch in the living room.
"How can you forget me, Doctor? It's me, Lauren!" Lauren glanced up and snapped at him before whipping her head back around to search through the drawer, tossing keys, torches and all sorts out of the way until she grasped a piece of paper. "Here, you said this would explain everything," she flung it at him.
The Doctor caught it and opened the piece of paper, scanning it over and beamed at Lauren, putting the paper away in his suit pocket.
"Right then- what's happening here..." the Doctor wandered over towards the TV and crouched beside it, the visual had went again and Lauren raised a hand to smack the back of the television when the Doctor brought out an odd looking stick with strange buttons and a blue diode at the top, he held down a button and a buzz started to emanating from the stick.
Without the Doctor noticing Emma had come to stand behind him, she frowned as the screen became clear once more. The camera angle was coming from within the group of surrounded humans, obviously the cameraman had been caught. Suddenly there was a flash of blue and there was no image or sound- it was as if the television had switched off.
"Doctor-"
"Lauren?" He looked up from the TV, he had popped a pair of black-rimmed glasses on.
"Your ship...your ship can travel through time," Lauren stared at him, her eyes huge, "Is that true? Or is it just a rumour?"
"Rumou-" Emma was cut-off short by the Doctor who was fiddling with the stick again,
"'Course it can, wha'd you mean 'rumour'?"
"The internet's brilliant, I've been preparing myself for meeting you for...well eleven years," Lauren drifted off towards the end, "I even hacked into Torchwood, they saw this coming- we'd probably be dead if it wasn't for them."
She beamed at the Doctor, whose arms had dropped in shock.
"You...hacked...Torchwood?" The Doctor spoke very slowly before realising something, "What did they think these...these things were?"
"Devosians, I think...I think Emma has it on her laptop," Lauren stared after her friend as she went to pick up the Mac Book from the kitchen.
"Gimme your phone, Lauren," the Doctor was back facing the television and was tapping the blank screen.
She passed her Samsung Wave to him and he buzzed at it with the diode-tipped stick and handed it back, not once taking his eyes off of the screen.
"What's that?" Lauren asked, warily looking back at her month-old phone.
"Sonic screwdriver, and hey-" he turned around for a brief second, "Now you can hack into major, supposed-to-be-secret, organizations on the move."
Lauren smiled despite the darkening sky outside her window, she noticed a slow shadow falling over the once clear ground and her smile quickly faltered.
"I got the la-" Emma entered the room, carrying the white Mac Book and almost dropped it as she noticed what Lauren what gaping at through the window at the far wall, the sky was being blocked out by a giant grey ship hovering in mid-flight.
There was a cry of triumph from the Doctor as an image flickered onto the TV, one of the blue-scaled men was facing away from the camera, from what they could see they had gills running down their shoulder blades and fin-liked ruffles around their necks. They also wore long, trailing red robes and carried what looked like futuristic ray-guns.
"The sky, Doctor," Emma whispered out, her pale hands clasping the Mac Book. "Look at the sky."
He glanced up and shrugged and turned his attention back to the screen which flickered suddenly and there was the image of a blue-scaled man with his beady black eyes staring into the screen.
"Do you have wi-fi, Lauren?" The Doctor asked the girl who was still staring out of the window and she tilted her head towards him.
"Yeah."
"I like talking, talking always helps," he flashed a grin at Lauren and Emma, he ran his fingers through his hair before he soniced the television and dug around in his pocket, pulling out a web cam and plugging the it into the side of the TV. "Dakto furoush-ka klak."
The screen flickered at his alien words and one of the warrior blue men appeared and his eyes widened as he spied the Doctor sitting there, his brown hair ruffled and his glasses perched on the end of his nose.
"Doctor…it has been many a year since you spoke to the Brethren," the blue man sighed into his own vidcom.
"You are not the Brethren, the Brethren were the leaders of a strong, mighty and peaceful race- why did you invade Earth?" The Doctor hissed, his voice was malicious and his eyes were unforgiving.
"You might say we go by the name of the Devosian Army and I go by the name of Wekk, we come to dominate, control and destroy-"
"Why?" Lauren had come from the window to crouch beside the Doctor as Emma lingered by the window, glancing anxiously back and forth, "Why here?"
"Fair-hair child, you speak for the Earth?" The blue-scaled creature continued to ask.
"I…I-I- er," she flashed a nervous glance at the Doctor who nodded and shrugged at the same time, "Yes."
"Then tell the high council of Devos why you send us threatening transmitions, Fair-haired one," the Devosian hissed into the screen and the normally yellow eyes flashed red for a second.
"We-" before Lauren could even start the Doctor butted in, swiping his glasses off and stating with rage,
"These primal apes haven't got the biocups or nanoplugs to ride on the solar waves all the way to your System, Wekk."
"Then who was it?" Wekk snapped, his eyes had turned red again.
There was a deadly silence and the Doctor stared into the webcam's little recording point and shook his head sadly, he reached up and flicked the switch off.
"Why…what about the people, Doctor?" Emma yelled her face was contorted with anger.
The Doctor didn't even flinch, he just stared into space and then suddenly,
"We're going to pay Wekk and his friends a visit, coming?" he looked at Emma who nodded warily and then to Lauren who was staring at the now blank screen.
"Are we really primal apes?" she asked, avoiding his gaze.
"No…I-I-"
"Just be honest."
"Yes."
"Right."
"Well then- allonsy!" The Doctor cried with a nervous glance at Lauren who nodded and put on a smile.
They walked through to the hallway where pictures of Lauren as a child should have been hanging- but in their place were lots of pictures of young boys with dark hair. It was the same boy through the ages, from when he was a baby with no hair and fat cheeks to when he was a young, athletic man holding a scroll with a bored look plastered onto his face. Lauren scowled at the picture of a tall, wide man with a grey moustache, a pretty blonde woman dressed in a trailing, white dress with the same sparkling green eyes as Lauren. They were holding each others hands and were standing underneath a cherry blossom tree, were the petals fell lightly around them- caught in a split second. The trio came to the stairs and trekked up them. Lauren stumbled at the sight she saw, the same blue box stood atop of her staircase as it stood at the end of the concrete path eleven years prior.
"The TARDIS," the Doctor beamed, waving a hand like a magician's assistant at the box.
"The what?" Emma asked, her mouth dropping open, she had heard Lauren speak of the strangeness of the TARDIS before but she'd never heard the name before then.
"Time and realtive dimensions in space," The Doctor answered staring lovingly at the TARDIS.
Lauren had reached the top of the stairs was standing beside the Doctor when Emma suddenly tripped.
"Emma?" The Doctor paused at the TARDIS doors, "Do you want to stay here?"
"Yeah…yes, God please," she glanced at Lauren to check if she was okay going alone with a stranger but Lauren just beamed back.
The Doctor swung open the doors and stepped inside, he strode over and flicked a switch and the whole TARDIS lurched.
"Ready?"
"Ready," Lauren grinned, closing the door behind her.
