The Doctor moved to the monitor hanging above the console. He pressed a few controls then looked at the monitor, the image of a man in a green military uniform coming up.

"Right, hello, I'm the Doctor, don't bother asking for the full story, still regenerating and quite frankly, there's no time for it." The Doctor said "Anyway, long story short, Sycorax invading, you know that bit by now probably. What I need you to do is jam their targeting sensors. Give me a moment, just need to think. Sycorax system base code, what is it…"

He ran his left hand through his hair before snapping his fingers and pressing some controls on the TARDIS control panel.

"Okay, Sycorax system base code, I've patched into their system, you'll have a string of numbers come up. Oscillate seven, nine and three. That'll get you into the system." The Doctor said "Are you in?"

"Yes sir." The man on the screen said "Awaiting further instructions."

"Hold on a moment." The Doctor replied, turning to Amy "Amelia, can I borrow your phone please?"

"Sure, I guess…" She said, handing him her Samsung Galaxy.

"Thank you." The Doctor said, turning back to the man on the screen "Upload it to an e-mail and send it to the e-mail you guys have on file for me."

"You've got e-mail?" Amy said, slightly surprised.

"Had to, got to have some way to be contacted." The Doctor said "And sorry, but your phone's going to be wrecked after this. I'll buy you a new one, promise."

"What?" Amy said "You're going to wreck my phone?"

"Yeah, sorry." The Doctor said, entering some commands then looking at the monitor "Okay, got the e-mail, thanks, bye."

He pressed some commands on Amy's phone and pulled up a file as the monitor went blank. He began entering some commands. Every time Amy tried looking over his shoulder, he'd turn away so she couldn't see what he was doing. He clicked send then opened the TARDIS doors, tossing the phone out into the time vortex.

"Sorry Amelia, they would've traced it and got us again." He said "So, go on, ask me what I did?"

"Other than throw my phone out the window you mean…" She said "Okay, what did you do?"

"I just uploaded two things into the Sycorax' system." He said "The first was a virus to wipe out all communications, weapons and teleport subroutines from their system."

"What was the second?" Amy said, not sure what else he'd want to do.

"A joke. Got to give them something." The Doctor said as he withdrew a paper bag from his pocket "Jelly baby?"

"Okay…" Amy said, slightly confused as she took the red sweet and ate it "What now?"

"Now?" He replied, before grinning "Now we give them some jelly babies."

He pulled a lever and the TARDIS landed. He stepped outside, straightening his jacket and looking around as he did. He licked his finger and stuck it in the air before turning to his left and running off down the corridor they'd landed in.

Amy caught up with him a moment later. They were by what looked like some star trek reactor core. The Doctor grinned at her.

"See, the thing about Sycorax ships is they us Kerpton particle based fuel in their reactors. There's one thing about those particles that's a problem, anyone know what? Anyone? Just me, oh well." He said "It reacts very badly with glucose AKA sugar. Catastrophic reaction, actually, within 2 minutes, it explodes. And what is sugar a key ingredient in? Come on Amelia, you know this, you just ate one a minute ago."

"Jelly babies." She said "So, what, you're going to make the reactor eat a jelly baby?"

"No, I'm going to make it eat a whole bag of them." He said, opening the hatch on the outside of the reactor and tossing the white bag inside, closing the door then grinning at her "Rightio. Come along, Pond!"

He darted out of the room, Amy running and staying just one step behind him. As they approached the TARDIS, he snapped his fingers, the doors swinging open. As she caught up properly and got inside, he slammed the doors behind her before darting to the console and playing with it. He pointed the sonic screwdriver at the monitor and pressed the button, the image of the Sycorax leader appearing on it.

"Right, here's the deal; get to your shuttles or escape pods or whatever. I'll tow you all home." The Doctor said, his face cool and collected "Either that or you stay onboard and die as your fuel blows up, courtesy of a bag of jelly babies. You Sycorax do like losing because of foods, don't you?"

"We will not flee, Doctor." The Sycorax leader said "We shall instead tell you this; we were sent here by someone else. We are but mercenaries in this case, working for someone of far greater power. He has returned from his kingdom to seek his revenge on you. Good bye, Doctor."

Before the Doctor could ask about the Sycorax leader's statement, the screen went blank. The Doctor leant back against the chair next to the monitor before clutching his chest and collapsing. Amy darted to him to check on him, only for him to look up at her and laugh.

"Wow Amelia, you are way too easy to fool." He said with a grin as he got up and began playing with the controls "So, where to? You know the rules; any where, any when, has to be amazing. Just because I change doesn't mean the rules do, eh?"

"Okay." She said "I just need to post a letter to someone first. If I give you an estate name, can you set the TARDIS down there?"

"Can I set the TARDIS down there." The Doctor scoffed "Of course I can. Allons-y!
