Author's Notes: Aggie and Eleven are puttig their plan into action. Meanwhile, Ten is being interrogated, rather roughly.
Aggie was stony faced the whole time she explained to Rose what had to be done. She was tempted to tell her to go home, and hoped that she'd matured enough.
The Doctor's clone was something if a relief, he seemed to take the view there should be no messing about and reassured Rose.
Aggie regularly had to shush him, he talked a lot, but two Time Lords are better than one. Aggie wondered where Mr Bowtie was. Well three, actually, three were better than one.

-So, you are innocent?
-Innocent of what?
-You can have me but leave them!
-And risk them honouring you as a martyr? I hardly think that's a self-defeating fallacy...
-Oh, you think you're so righteous, but this is all wrong! Let me guess your just following orders! He's lying to you!
-Who?
-Whoever told you this..this...propaganda!
-Once again, wrong, Doctor.
-Oh! Open your eyes! I'm so tired of repeating this!
-She.
-What?
-Our leader is female. And she's our saviour.
-Oh, that's never good... the saviour, about the saviour.
-Flippant as always. We've not finished with you.
-Bring it on.
-We have your friend, the other Time Lord? Much less mouthy, I have to say.
-It's better than damaged.
-Are you going to defend him?
-The old him? No, defend is the wrong word.
-Reformed, is that right?
-Organically, yes.
-How?
-I'm yet to discover that, now you mention it.
-And your friend, the blonde one? Dimension Cannon, hmm? That's a teensy bit illegal, no?
-Technically, yes, but I had no prior knowledge of it.
-Oh, playing along now are we Doctor? What about your friend, the anomaly?
-Oh, it's a bit weird, but you don't have to call him names!
-Captain Harkness. What a mess.
-Can I ask, why'd you feel any jurisprudence over this? Why? Why all this?
-Crimes against populations, Doctor.
-But there's not jurisdiction? On what basis is the trial here? And I know for a fact that your practices are illegal.
-Which ones?
-You know which ones. You've 'not finished with me' remember?
-Special case.
-Crimes against population. Based on the Declaration of Human Rights back on Earth-they're fabulous sometimes-I'm pretty sure there's a sanction against the use of torture, Section, what, two point one? The use of torture is expresssly forbidden for any use and against any life form in the galaxy, in the universe. I thought you lot liked your rules? Come on! You were decent! What has she done to you? Where is she? Your saviour? Because she's wrong, obviously biased or bitter or both. Go on! Show me what she's made of!
-No one will mind when we get rid of you.
-Where is she?
-She won't let you go.
-If she wants to kill me, tell her this, that either she does it or I tell everyone at the trial-
-This is the only say you'll get.
-IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO, I WILL SEE HER! YOU'VE BEEN BRAINWASHED!
-Resume the electrodes.
-WHERE ARE YOU? I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME! I KNOW! COME ON! FACE ME! FACE ME! EXPLAIN! Explain why you are hurting them! EXPLAIN! EXPLAIN! EXPLAIN! FACE ME!

They would place the electrodes to his head and if he fought, they would lock him out- sedate him so he couldn't move or speak but he could feel every jolt. This they preferred after a while, it stopped him screaming.
"This is so IDIOTIC!" he would yell in vain. "Not too clever?"
The tall, pale humanoid guard scowled and would repeat the process, when he was supposed to stop.
After a day or so, and slightly delirious, the guards had taken to sedating him completely, after he would scream, for the leader to come and face him.
"I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME! LET THEM GO!"
