I don't own Doctor Who
Why is this story so less popular then my other Doctor Who story?
The Doctor was removing the tag from around his neck and says, "Deadly to humans, not to me." He puts the tag around the unveiled Slitheen.
Sofia, Rose and Harriet started to run the moment that they saw "Margret" covered in electricity.
When Mickey saw the Slitheen immobilized, he sneaks around it, takes a photo with his phone, and runs. He runs to the only place he can think of, the Tyler flat.
The Doctor finds himself being chased by men with guns. They back him against the elevator.
"Just a tip, if you're going to execute someone by backing them against the wall, don't do by the lift!" he advises. The Doctor enters the lift, and sonics it shut. He makes it to the next floor, sees a Slitheen chasing Rose, Sofia and an older woman, and keeps going. After reaching the third floor, the Doctor then takes the stairs down to the second floor.
"Take me first!" Harriet proclaims in an attempt to save Sofia and Rose.
Very shortly afterward the Doctor comes in with a fire extinguisher. He fires it a Margret. This provides enough of a distraction for the three girls to escape.
"About time!" Sofia mutters, "She was about to eat one of us!"
"Well, if it was you..." the Doctor starts.
"I have a knife just for dealing with annoying men."
"Oh, why didn't you use it on the Slitheen?"
"A, it's for men, the Slitheen was a she... B, it's made out of obsidian, which is a type of glass. I didn't want it to shatter."
"Why do you have a knife made out of a type of glass?" Harriet asks. She's not really sure what is going on, but is still curious.
"Obsidian blades are sharper then metal ones. Surgeons use obsidian blades instead of metal ones because of this."[1]
"Oh. We have to get into the Cabinet room! The emergency protocols are in there!"
"Harriet Jones! I like you!" the Doctor is grateful for the topic change.
"Thanks, I like you too!"
The four of them make their way to the Cabinet room, just ahead of the Slitheen. The Doctor grabs a thing of brandy and holds his sonic next to it.
"Not, one step closer or my device will triplicate the flammability and we'll all go up." The Doctor threatens, "So what are you doing here? Is it an invasion?"
"Why would we want this God-forsaken rock?" one of the Slitheen asks.
"So you don't want 'Slitheen world' then?"
"'Slitheen World'? The Slitheen are not a race, Slitheen is our surname. Jocrass Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen at your service."
"Then what do you want with this 'God-forsaken rock'?"
"Excuse me, but your device will do what? Triplicate the flammability? You're lying."
"Oh, well nice try. Harriet?"
"You pass it to the left first." Harriet chides.
"Rose? Quick history lesson about 10 Downing Street. Two thousand years ago it was swamp land. In 1860 it was owned by a Mr. Chicken, nice man. In 1960 it was made into the Cabinet meeting room, and this was installed." The Doctor presses a big red button, "If the Cabinet is ever under attack these are the four safest walls in England."
"How do we get out?" Rose asks.
"Oh"
Rose's phone rings.
"We're sealed off," Harriet is bewildered, "How do you have a signal?"
"He zapped it." Rose explains, "Superphone."
"The Doctor could call some of his contacts."
"They're all dead downstairs," the Doctor says bitterly.
"It's Mickey" Rose announces.
"Your idiot boyfriend?"
"He's not an idiot or my boyfriend. He's more like a brother than anything else." Rose shows him the picture of the Slitheen he sent her. "He's in our flat and the Slitheen has followed him."
"Put him on speaker!" Sofia orders. "How do we defeat the Slitheen?"
"We need to narrow it down!" the Doctor demands.
"They're green" Rose points out.
"Narrows it down"
"They have a good sense of smell"
"Narrows it down"
"They can smell adrenaline!"
"Narrows it down"
"You said the engine was slip stream!"
"Narrows it down!"
"Did you notice that when they fart, if you'll pardon the word," Harriet added, "It doesn't smell like a fart, if you'll pardon the word. It smells like bad breath!"
"Now that narrows it down! Beings made of living calcium combined with the hyphenated name narrows it down to one planet! Raxacoricofallapatorius! Acidic acid, vinegar!"
"Where's the vinegar?!" Mickey calls over the phone.
"In the kitchen," Sophie orders, "Next to the fridge on the right, second to bottom shelf."
"Why do you have two different types of vinegar?!"
"Just throw some on the Slitheen!"
"It worked!"
"Can you get to UNIT's website from there?" the Doctor asks.
"What?"
"I might choke before I finish this sentence, but Mickey the Idiot, I need you."
"You can use my laptop." Sofia says. "What is he looking up?"
"The Slitheen have a signal coming from the North Sea, and I want to know what it is."
"Mickey, open up Internet Explorer. Under the favorites click on the link for UNIT."
"Why do you have a link for UNIT?"
"I hacked them three times over the past year... I was board. Anyways Mickey..." Sofia continues to relay the necessary steps to get what the Doctor wanted.
"What does it mean?" the Doctor puzzles over the advert.
"Mickey!" Sofia exclaims, "Turn the TV on!"
"What?" he cries.
"Just do it!"
"I need that signal!" the Doctor complains.
"She's right; you'll want to hear this." Mickey holds the phone next to the TV speakers.
Upon hearing the Slitheen's message to the world, the Doctor goes over to the door.
"There are no weapons of mass destruction up there." He challenges the Slitheen, "You're going to bomb every other country on Earth. They'll be forced to retaliate!"
"And we'll be safe," the Slitheen inform him, "In our ship, not crashed, but parked. Then we'll sell this planet as scrap metal. People are buying cheap."
"I won't let you."
"What you, in your box?"
"Yes, me"
"What's the plan?" Sofia asks after the Doctor recloses the door/steel walls.
"We're going to use the way out."
"You said there was no way out." Rose is confused.
"There's always been away out, but you won't be safe."
"Do it!"
"You don't know what it is."
"You're going to blow up Downing Street!" Sophie concludes.
"Is it the only way to save the world?" Harriet Jones asks.
"Yes" the Doctor reluctantly admits.
"Then, as the only elected official in this room, I order you to do it."
"Mickey," Sofia says, "Click on the link for the Royal Navy on Internet Explorer."
"Who else have you hacked?" the Doctor wonders.
"The better question is who haven't I hacked? Mickey, keep using the Buffalo password, it overrides everything."
"Click on sub-harpoon and launch it." The Doctor orders.
"Are these walls strong enough?" Rose asks.
"No" Sofia answers, "They were built for short range attacks, nothing like this."
"Well now it's my turn to save the day. This closet is small so it's strong, help me clear it out."
The four of them clear it out before piling into the Cabinet's cabinet. [2] The bomb hit, and they survived.
"Made in Brittan!" Harriet proclaims proudly. "Everything's okay, the crises has been averted! We don't have a Prime Minister!"
"You should give it a go!" the Doctor encourages.
"Don't be ridiculous."
"I'd vote for you" Rose admits.
Harriet goes off to help everybody. Rose goes back to her flat to pack. Mickey and Sofia are with the Doctor by the TARDIS.
"Doctor," Mickey inquires, "Can you keep Rose safe."
"You could come along, both of you" he says, "And keep her safe."
"I couldn't handle that kind of life" Mickey admits.
"Sophie?"
"We'll I'm off to pack."
