"What do you mean?" The captain panted as he sat up, Amy helping him up. "Well, maybe the face that you were just in a biometric link up with that alien meaning he could take your form" The doctor rambled. "He forced me too" The captain spluttered, a strange green liquid was coming from his mouth. Amy moved away and stood beside Emma. "You lied to us!" she shouted glaring at her captain. "Excuse me, i'm talking" The doctor said, regaining authority. "Now back to you Captain Drew. The alien did not force you as this biometric link has to be allowed into your mind and funnily enough, you have to allow those kind of things. Any excuses?" The doctor smiled as he leant down, leaning close to the captain. "I was hired to do this, i'm just doing my job." "Oh shut up. You think endangering the lives of the millions of people below is your job. Get out, captain. I am relieving you of your duties as of now" He said tuning towards Emma and pointing, "You are captain" He smiled as he helped the captain up and to the door. "You crew are departing soon. Go with them" He said as he let the captain walk out and the metal door slid closed behind him. "Now he's out the way captain I would like to ask whether you would know the codes to the communications deck?" The doctor asked as he turned back to Amy and Emma. "Yeah, we're all told them" She replied. "good, now Amy go with Captain Emma to the communications desk and i'll talk to you when you get there" the doctor smiled as he took his seat behind the captain's desk. "Ok, but first" Amy said as he walked over to the desk, leant over and kissed the doctor. "That was a kiss, not a genetic transfer" She smiled as she left the room with Emma. The doctor watched the door slide closed again and smiled, "Woah" he muttered to himself before focusing back on the computer screen.

"The timelord has redirected the solar wind and out friends on the surface grow impatient" The silver scaled creature snarled as he paced the large green lit command room. "We need this planet and if this timelord is proving a problem then we must simply change to another plan. We need that planet covered in the exo bacteria before we can initialise the atmosphere converter, correct" Another, much larger alien growled. He too was covered in silver scaled but was twice the height of the first alien. "Correct sir" "well then, we will have to go back to the old technique, manual coverage" The alien laughed as he looked out onto the red planet below. "We will prepare the ships"

"They promised us that they would increase the flow of the exo bacteria an now they have stopped!" Marcus yelled as he spoke into his communicator. "Yes sir, but it seems the ship they were working from is moving and the HRMS Neri has shifted the direction of the solar wind away from the plant" A woman's voice spoke over the device. "What about contact, are they not responding" He asked. "No sir, the lines are all silent but we are getting signals of several smaller ships in the sky" she replied. Marcus hung up the communicator and stared around the room. "For the good of the planet" He said to himself as he gazed over all of the small white embryos surrounding him. Raising the communicator to his mouth once more he spoke again. "I'm heading back up to the control room, have a live connection to both the Kora ship and the HRMS Neri ready for me when I get there"

Amy and Emma walked together through the ship, all of the crew had moved to the other side of the ship now, waiting for the travel pods to take them home. "Emma, if the rest of the crew are leaving, how are you going to get home?" Amy asked as they ducked through a low metal doorway. "Well, i'm pretty sure you and that doctor must have a ship as you got aboard here" She snapped back. "Ok." Amy replied and after that was just silence. The sound of their footsteps hitting the metal was the only sound. "Here" Emma said as they reached a large door with a large red light on it. She opened the heavy door and stepped inside followed by Amy. In the room were three small chairs and a wall of screens, sixteen monitors all showing different parts of the ship and one central screen blank, just static. Emma sat down on the central chair and began using the many controls on the desk. Amy sat down beside her, in silence but then a voice crackled over the room, the Doctor. "Hello again you two. Now Emma just open up the communications and you should see two open lines calling out to us, let them connect and transfer them to me. But be ready to close them when i say" He ordered and Emma did so without saying a word. A high pitched beep filled the room and then a click "Line one open" Emma said, and then another click "Line two joined, over to you now doctor" She said as she sat back in her seat. "It's about time we all spoke" The doctor announced.
