A standoff had formed as Rose hovered a finger over a crucial button while the leader of the Chamills held her throat ready and inching to squeeze. He was the one to talk first."OK, I'll make you a deal." The leader suddenly raised his voice. "Everyone stop fighting!"

The Doctor, Andrew and all the Chamills in the building directed their attention at the standoff between the leader and Rose. She remained hunched over the controls with her finger above the button and the leader with his hands around her throat slightly squeezing. The Doctor called out in fear, "Rose!"

"I'll let you three live if she releases her hand."

Instead of pleading the Doctor broke into a grin. "Oh, but she's got you by the throat as well! Brilliant!"

Andrew was beyond confused. "What's going on?"

The Doctor explained. "Do you remember Erica, Andrew?" He pointed at the vat containing the motionless Chamille bodies. "The Chamills took her body from her and we disconnected the signal keeping her alive. I'm so sorry, Andrew. She died with the Chamille." The man in pinstripes brightened up briefly. "But now Rose has her finger on the button that will disconnect the citywide television signal they are emitting all over the city of Los Angeles to project their protective suits."

The leader replied, "We can't survive the air."

Andrew asked angrily, "Then why… are you here? What did we ever do to you losers?"

Before the leader could respond one of the Chamills in the room shook his head sadly. "Our home. The sun grew and grew and soon it became too hot. We couldn't survive."

The leader continued with more composure. "Your planet was the closest planet to ours and we've been stationed here for the past five months looking for a planet where we can breathe freely."

"And?" The Doctor awaited a heartbreaking answer.

"Nothing."

Despite the fact that the Chamills had taken human lives away, Andrew couldn't help but feel the hopelessness of their situation. The Doctor didn't seem to share it. "You're in direction violation of Terimisuan Law 46 that states that if you are going to colonize a planet you better damn well make sure it's already INHABITED!"

"What are you going to do about it traveler! I got your friend by the neck!"

Rose again choked. "I'm no hos… tage," and pressed the button expecting death.

The Doctor shouted in fear, "Rose!"

Choruses of "No!'s" began to be heard throughout the building as the consoles around them all sparked violently before fizzling out. All over Los Angeles the city experienced a city wide power outage as everyone in the old studio for Channel 9 fought for their lives.

The Chamills began to cough violently as their bodies began to take the lizard-like shape that was their true form. The leader took his aggression out on Rose immediately squeezing her neck as much as he could and shouted with a slight hiss, "Die!" He was going to make her suffocate just like she had inevitably made him and his people.

The Doctor and Andrew tried to intervene but the struggling Chamills grabbed them violently and began fighting them. Revenge seemed to be on their minds before they too were going to die.

Rose began to fall down onto the now dead console losing energy and consciousness straining for just a few more breathes as the leader, now fully resembling his true form, grabbed her neck even harder. He was starting to gasp for air now as much as Rose. It seemed like the only question would be who would die first.

Andrew was grabbed roughly and was punched once again by the Chamille fighting him. This time he lost his balance and began to fall back. With all the strain he could muster he concentrated his weight to fall down to the right impacting the leader hard. With his force and the leader's preoccupation with choking Rose to death he too was knocked off balance falling to the ground as his fingers fell from her throat. Now Rose just remained motionless slumped over the console.

The air began to really take its toll on the Chamills as the leader could not find the strength to get back up. All of the Chamills in the building had either been knocked down or by sheer exhaustion had fallen. Immediately as he got free, the Doctor ran over to Rose to check on her.

Andrew watched the dying gasps of the Chamills. The aliens had taken human lives including his former flame Erica. Watching them suffocate from the air that they so much wanted to avoid was sort of satisfying. A small smile played across his face as he saw revenge being served. Andrew's attention then turned to his friends as the Doctor pleaded now having turned Rose face up. She was still unconscious. "Rose! Rose! Wake up!"

Andrew joined them as the Doctor began to deliver mouth to mouth resuscitation trying desperately to save her life. He watched with dread as the Doctor repeated the motions over and over again. And then, by possibly a miracle, Rose coughed.
