The doctor was sitting behind the captain's desk looking at the computer screen in front of him. On it were tow other people, on the left, the silver scaled alien aboard their ship. His dull grey skin only making his bright yellows eyes look ever brighter and on the right, a man in a smart black pinstripe suit. "It's about time we all spoke" he smiled as he looked at the two faces. "Now lets go around the room and introduce ourselves" the doctor said. Both of the others went to speak before the doctor stopped them both. "Wait, i'll go first. I have a lot of names to be honest, the oncoming storm, the destroyer of worlds, john smith, timelord, the last of the timelords but most people just call me, The Doctor. Now you, silver scales, what's your name and where do you come from?" The doctor laughed to himself, "You not seen the price is right then?" the blank stares from the other two confirmed that they didn't get the joke. "Anyway, you, silver scales" The doctor remarked impolitely.
The silver alien snarled as he watched the screen with the two men from his green lit control room. He could feel the ships being launched beneath him, while he spoke to these idiots the planet below was being invaded. "I am High Command Officer Apri of the Kora race" He snarled at the screen, the doctor grinned as he heard this information. This man was wise and ancient, real competition for the Kora race. The doctor spoke again, "Ok then, suit boy. Your turn. By the way, i like the suit but pinstripe looks better in brown, trust me"
Marcus smiled nicely, a big fake smiled blazed on his face as he looked at the alien and the doctor. "I, doctor, am Professor Marcus Loam" He said as he fixed his suit. "And i believe i am the only one amongst the three of us who is working on behalf of the planet" He said with an air of smugness about him.
"Well maybe, i on the other half am working on behalf of the 8.2 million people on the planet Aldra where as both of you seem to want to flood the planet in exo bacteria. So, who is going to tell me exactly what is going on?" the doctor smiled. Neither of the faces on his screen said anything, instead they exchanged glances with the people around them. "Ok then, i'll put it this way who is going to help me fill in the details. I already know that the Kora have been using this ship to focus the solar wind on Aldra and adding exo bacteria to it. I also know that doing that will trigger a change in the surface environment, making it deadly to the people on the planet but what i don't know is why the Kora are so interested in this planet and where you and your guys in suits come into all this" The doctor smiled as he looked at Marcus.
"That would be because the Kora work for me" Marcus grinned. "We do not!" Apri yelled, revealing the four lines of razor sharp teeth. "Oooooh" The doctor joked as he pressed his nose up to the glass on the monitor. "Sorry to interrupt but are you telling me that you are trying to kill your own planet!" "No! I am trying to make this planet better. Doctor, this has been nice but i think its time for this conversation to end and Apri, call of your ships or they will be destroyed" and with that Marcus vanished from the screen leaving static in his place. "Ships?" The doctor asked as the whole story fell into place in his mind. "As i said doctor, we work for nobody. This planet will belong to the Kora!" Apri growled before the screen went blank for him too.

Emma and Amy sat in the communications bay. "Doctor, what is going on?" Amy asked looking at the doctor's concerned face. Before he could reply his screen turned to static and a loud explosion was heard deep within the ship. "Get back here now!" The doctor shouted, his voice barely audible under the sound of static and the metal of the ship settling. Amy and Emma ran together through the ship, the sound of footsteps inside the ship echoing all around them. "Who is here?" Emma asked, Amy didn't reply she was to bust running and remembering where to go. They reached a large open area. "Halt!" A deep voice called out from behind them.

Emma turned and face the voice, reaching for the gun on her belt, she pulled it and pointed it at the Kora that was in front of her but before she could fire, another shot hit her from the side. As she fell to the ground she saw another Kori with its gun raised to her, the Kori continued running after Amy. Emma lay on the ground as her life faded away and her eyes closed.

Amy carried on running up the long corridor to the captain's office, but when she reached the door, Emma wasn't behind her. She heard a gunshot from down the corridor and then a large Kora alien began to run towards her arm outstretched. The door opened and Amy dived inside, the door closing again as soon as she was through.
