Rose ran into Adam as she was on her way to the console room. Adam was yabbering on, trying to sound impressive when she had finally had enough and when his back was turned she took of for the console room. She found the Doctor under the console, he gave a yelp as the TARDIS shocked him. "I think she's telling you that she doesn't need to have anything repaired." Rose laughed.
Getting out from under the console he glared at his ship before sitting on the jumpseat with his arms crossed. "So, I thought you were gonna check on Adam, make sure he didn't get lost."
Rose rolled her eyes as she sat beside him, placing her head on his shoulder. "I was till he started going on and on about something I already knew." Rose grinned when he uncrossed his arms and placed one over her shoulder.
Adam walked in then. "Rose, where did you disappear too?"
The Doctor looked at her with his eyebrow raised. "I might of walked off while he was wittering on." She mumbled before saying to Adam. "As impressive as your knowledge is, I've been travelling the stars for awhile now." She reminded him.
Adam looked slightly ashamed as he thought he was impressing her.
The Doctor stared at Rose a little longer, funny he thought, she talks like she's travelled longer than a month or two. Jumping up the Doctor grabs Roses arm and pulls her to the console with him. "Right, where do you want to go today?"
Laughing Rose turns to Adam, "since its your first trip, why don't you pick."
"Could we, could we go to a spaceship," Adam hesitantly asks.
The Doctor grinned," absolutely." He agreed.
The Doctor moved around the console pushing buttons and flipping switches and all sorts of weird instruments as he pointed out buttons to Rose to help her learn to fly the TARDIS, when Rose felt the TARDIS land.
The Doctor grabbed Roses hand and pulled her to the door as Adam trailed behind. Stepping out they could feel the vibrations under their feet. The Doctor was just happy he landed them on a space-station. "It's 200 thousand, it's a space-station," the Doctor explained. "Tell ya what, let's try that gate over there."
"It's a bit warm in here," Rose complained. "They could turn the heating down."
The Doctor leads Rose and Adam through the gate and they find themselves facing a window with planet earth in view. "The fourth great and bountiful human empire." The Doctor introduced. "There it is, planet earth at its height. Covered with mega cities, five moons, population 96 billion. The hub of a galactic domain, stretching across a million planets, a million species with mankind right in the middle."
They hear Adam faint behind them. Rose pulls the Doctor into a quick kiss. "Come on," she sighed. "We better wake him up."
The Doctor and Rose managed to wake him up and we're now walking through the floor. "Come on Adam, open your mind." Rose had to stop herself from snorting when she remembers last time Adams mind did open, literally. "Your gonna like this, fantastic period of human history. The human race at its most intelligent, culture, art, politics. This era has got fine food, good manners."
"Out of the way," someone interrupts as he pushes past them. Suddenly the floor comes alive with people as a buzzer sounds.
Rose walks up to one of the venders to see what he's selling before turning back to the Doctor. "Fine cuisine," she questions.
"My watch must be wrong," the Doctor looked at it before holding it to his ear. "No, it's fine. It's weird."
"That's what comes of showing off, your history's not as good as you thought it was." Rose teased.
The Doctor saw the teasing in her eyes, "my history's perfect."
"Well obviously not." Rose responds.
"There all human," Adam pipes up. "What about the millions of planets, the millions of species. Where are they?" He asks confused.
"Good question," the Doctor looks to Adam in surprise. "Actually that is a good question. Adam me old mate," the Doctor puts his arm around Adams shoulder. "You must be starving?"
"No," Adam disagrees. "I'm just a bit time sick."
"No," the Doctor insists. "You just need a bit of grub." He turns to a vendor. "Oi mate, how much is a kronk burger?"
"Two credits twenty, sweetheart." The vendor replies. "Now join the queue."
"Money, we need money. Let's use a cash point." He walks up to one and uses the sonic. A metal stick falls into the tray at the bottom. The Doctor picks it up and hands it to Adam. "There you go, pocket money. Don't spend it all on sweets."
Adam looks at it strangely. "But how does it work?"
The Doctor rolls his eyes as he turns back around. "Go and find out, stop nagging me. The thing is Adam time travels like visiting Paris, you can't just read the guide book, you got to throw yourself in. Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, get charged double and end up kissing complete strangers. Or is that just me? Stop asking questions, go on do it."
Adam walks away as the Doctor turns to Rose. "I should keep him out of trouble." Rose suggests as she kisses the Doctor briefly then walks backwards towards where Adam ran off to. "No kissing strangers." Rose warns as she then turns and heads after Adam.
The Doctor grinned as he watched her walk away. His hearts clench every time he sees her walking away. His smile falls as he remembers there's something wrong here. Seeing two woman walking by he stops them. "Um, this is going to sound daft but could you tell me where I am?"
"Floor 139," one of them points out. "Could they write it any bigger."
"Floor 139 of what?" The Doctor continues.
"Must of been a hell of a party," the same one comments.
"Your on satellite 5." The other one interrupts.
"What's satellite 5?" The Doctor insists
"Oh come on," the first one scoffs. "How can you get on board without knowing where you are?"
"Look at me, I'm stupid." The Doctor shrugs. Glade Rose isn't around to hear him admit that.
"Oh, wait a minute," the second one chimes in. "Are you a test? Some sort of management test kind of thing."
"You've got me," the Doctor agrees as he flashes his psychic paper. "Well done. Your to clever for me."
"We were warned about this in basic training." The second woman reminded the first. "All workers have to be versed in company promotion."
"Right," the first replied, still a bit confused. "Fire away, ask your questions. If it gets me to floor 500, I'd do anything."
"Why, what happens in floor 500?" The Doctor queries.
"The walls are made of gold." The first woman answers. "And you should know, Mr. Management. So this is what we do," she leads the Doctor up to a bank of tellies. "The latest news, sandstorms on the new Venus arcepelico, 200 dead. Glasgow water rights into their third day, space lane 77 closed by sun flare activity and over on the Bad Wolf channel the Face of Boe just announced he's pregnant."
"I get it," the Doctor admits. "You broadcast the news." The Doctor notes the name Bad Wolf, trying to remember where he's seen it before.
"We are the news," the first woman insists. "We're the journalists. We write it, package it and sell it. 600 channels all coming out of satellite 5, broadcasting everywhere. Nothing happens in the whole human empire without going through us."
? ゚フᄍ? ゚フᄍ? ゚フᄍ? ゚フᄍ? ゚フᄍ? ゚フᄍ? ゚フᄍ? ゚フᄍ? ゚フᄍ? ゚フᄍ? ゚フᄍ? ゚フᄍ?
"Try this," Rose hands a slushy cup to Adam who still looks lost. "It's zaffic, it's nice." She assures him. "It's like a slush puppy."
"What flavour?" Adam asks suspiciously.
Rose takes a sip. "It's sort of beef."
"Oh my god." Adam exclaims. Rose starts laughing at his expression. "It's like everything's gone." Adam complains. "Home, family, everything."
Rose wonders why everyone has to be depressing like that. In the original time line she was just as bad. Rose pulls her phone out. "This helps, the Doctor gave it a bit of a top up. Who's back home, your mum and dad?"
"Yeah," Adam agrees.
"Ring em up." Rose hands him her phone.
Adam looks at it confused. "But that's 198 thousand years ago."
"Honestly," Rose insists. "Try it, go on."
Adam, still looking confused starts dialling. "Is there a code for planet earth?"
Rose rolls her eyes, "just dial."
The phone rings and Adams eyes widen as he hears his parents answer phone come on. "Hi, it's me, I've sort of gone travelling. I've met these people and were travelling together. Um, I'm fine and I'll call you later, love you, bye." He leaves a message.
A buzzer sounds and everyone around them starts to move. "Oi," Rose turns and sees the Doctor standing with two other females. She leaves him alone for a few minutes and he makes friends with more females. "Mutt and Jeff, over ere."
Rose stands to walk towards him when she turns back to Adam. "Phone please," she takes it from him. She's not making that mistake again. They head over to the Doctor as there led by the two woman into another room that's all white. White panels on the wall with a dentist looking chair in the middle surrounded by a table with hand shapes imprinted at even intervals around the table and cushions behind each imprint.
"Now everybody behave," the first woman warns. "We have a management inspection. How do you want it, by the book?"
"Oh, right from scratch thanks." The Doctor agrees.
"Ok, so ladies, gentleman and multi-sexed, undecided and/or robot. My name is Cathica Santine Kadany." she introduces. Turning to the Doctor, "that's Cathica with a C in case you want to write to floor 500, praising me, and please do." Turning back to the room. "Now please feel free to ask any questions. The process of news gathering must be open, honest and beyond biased. That's company policy."
"Actually, um, it's the law." The second woman interrupts.
The smile falls from Cathicas face. "Yes, thank you Suki. Ok keep it calm, don't show off for the guests. Here we go." Cathica makes herself comfortable on the dentist type chair. "And engage safety." Everyone around her places their hands over the imprints on the table in front of them and the panels around the room light up. Cathica clicks her fingers and a door in her head opens up to show her brain. "And three, two, and spike." A beam of light comes down from the globe above her and enters her brain.
Rose and the Doctor looks on. The Doctor looks horrified while Rose looks unimpressed. "Compressed information," the Doctor speaks up. "Streaming into her. Reports from every city, every country, every planet and they all get packaged inside her head. She becomes part of the software, her brain is the computer."
"It all goes through her?" Rose questions. "She can't remember all that."
"Nah," the Doctor agrees as he moves around the room. "She won't remember anything. It's to much, her head would blow up. Her brains the processor, as soon as it closes she forgets."
Rose follows him around. "So what about all these people around the edge?"
"They've all got tiny little chips in there heads connecting them to her." He explained. "They transmit 600 channels. Every single fact in the empire beams out of this place. Now that's what I call power." The Doctor stops back where he started from and Rose stops next to him.
"You alright?" Rose asks Adam as he looks a bit sick.
"I can see her brain!" He exclaims.
"Do you want to get out?" She questions.
"No, no," Adam insists. "This technology, it's amazing."
"This technologies wrong." The Doctor deadpanned.
Rose looks over at him, "trouble."
The Doctor grins at her, "oh, yeah."
Rose gives him that cheeky grin again that makes his hearts race. Rose then notices Suki flinch slightly. A shock runs up her arms as she lets go. Everyone else lets go when she does then the light stream stops and Cathicas head closes up. "Come off it Suki," Cathica complains. "I wasn't even halfway, what was that for?"
"Sorry," Suki whispered. "It must of been a glitch."
A chime sounds, promotion. A voice intones. Everyone turns as a screen appears.
"Come on," Cathica begs. "This is it, come on. Make it me."
Rose looks at her like she's an idiot and the Doctor wonders what it's about but before he can ask her the voice intones again.
Promotion for, Suki Macrae Cantrell, please proceed to floor 500.
Suki stands up, shocked. "I can't believe it, floor 500."
"How the hell did you manage that?" Cathica whines. "I'm above you."
"I don't know," Suki shrugs. "I just applied on the off chance and they said yes."
"That's not fair?" Cathica continues. "I've been applying to floor 500 for 3 years."
Rose makes her way to Sukis side as the Doctor watches on. "Suki," the girl turns to her. "I don't think you should go."
"Why not?" Suki questions.
"Something doesn't feel right," Rose explained. "You were the only one that glitches, then your sudden promotion. Isn't that a bit odd?"
Suki watches her a minute before agreeing with her. "I'm not going." Cathica looks at her in shock. "Besides I thought I might be more excited but I'm not."
The Doctor stares at Rose as she draws near him again. Rose, seeing his look muttered. "It just didn't feel right."
They follow Suki back to the food court as Rose notices Adams lost look, "come on it's not that bad."
"What, with the head thing?" Adam inquires.
"Yeah, well," Rose shrugs. "She's closed it now."
"Yeah but it's just, it's everything," he sighs. " It freaks me out. I just need to, if I could just cool down. Sort of acclimatise."
"How do ya mean?" Rose asks.
"Maybe I could just go sit on the observation deck, that be alright?" Adam asks. "Soak it all in, ya know. Pretend I'm a citizen of the year 200 thousand." Rose agrees at least she has her phone this time so he can't cause trouble. "Besides," Adam continues. "I think he prefers it if it's just the two of you."
Adam bumps into her as he moves past. Frowning Rose watches him wondering why he ran into her before shrugging and heading back to the Doctors side. Suki mutters something about someone called Steve and runs off while Cathicas still wondering why Suki turned the promotion down. "That's why you don't get involved with people."
"Yeah but," the Doctor asked confused. "She could always come down for a visit."
Cathica looks at him like he's crazy. "We wouldn't see her again. Once you go to floor 500 you never come back."
The Doctor started to realise that Rose was right, something is definitely going on. He follows Cathica as she walks away. "Have you ever been up there?"
"Can't," she replies. "Need a key for the lift and you get a key with promotion. No one gets to 500 except the chosen few." Cathica leads them back into the room they came from. "Look they only give us twenty minutes for maintenance so will you give it a rest."
"You've never been to another floor?" The Doctor asks as he sits on the dentist type chair. "Not even one floor down?"
"Went to floor 16 when I first arrived," Cathica explained. "That's medical. That's where I got my head done. Then I came straight here where I applied. You work, eat, sleep on the same floor. That's it, that's all," she insists. She suddenly realises something, "your not management are you?"
"At last, she's clever," the Doctor exclaims. When he sat in the chair Rose put her arm around him with her palm over his hearts. He was happy that he had her all to himself.
"Yah, well whatever it is don't involve me. I don't know anything." Cathica insists.
"Don't you even ask?" The Doctor looks confused.
"Why would I?" Cathica defends.
"Your a journalist?" The Doctor exclaims. "Whys all the crew human?"
"What's that got to do with anything?" Cathica scoffs.
"There's no aliens on board, why?" The Doctor tries to open her eyes.
Cathica starts thinking. "I don't know. No real reason, there not banned or anything."
The Doctor looks around. "Then where are they?"
"I suppose immigration status tightened up," Cathica defends. " It's had to, what with all the threats."
"What threats?" The Doctor inquires.
"I don't know, all of them, usual stuff." Cathica continues to defend. "And the price if space warp doubled so that kept the visitors away. Oh and the government on traffic 5 collapsed so that lot stopped coming you see. Just lots of little reasons that's all."
The Doctor scoffs. "Adding up to one great big fact and you didn't even notice."
"Doctor," Cathica sighs exasperatedly. "If there was any sort of conspiracy satellite 5 would've seen it. We see everything."
"I can see better. This society is the wrong shape, even the technology." The Doctor explained.
"It's cutting edge," Cathica butts in.
"It's backwards," the Doctor explained. "There's a great big door in your head. You should've chucked this out years ago." The Doctor can see Cathica starting to question.
"So the technology's stalled, yeah?" Rose questions the Doctor.
He grins at her as she asks the right question. "It's not just this space-station, it's their whole attitudes. It's the way people think. The great and bountiful human empires stunted, something's holding it back."
"And how would you know?" Cathica questions.
"Trust me," the Doctor stats. "Humanities been set back about 90 years. When did satellite 5 start broadcasting?"
"91 years ago." Cathica starts looking nervous. The Doctor gets up, grabs Roses hand and heads of to find a terminal to get a look at satellite 5. Cathica trails behind them. "We're going to get into trouble." Cathica mutters. The Doctor meanwhile is using his sonic to open the access panel for the terminal to take a peek inside. "Your not allowed to touch the mainframe," Cathica storms over. "We'll get told off."
"Rose," the Doctor calls. "Tell her to button it."
"You can't just vandalise the place, someone's going to notice." Cathica whines. The Doctor finally gets the access panel open and looks inside. "Nothing to do with me," Cathica declares. "I'm going back to work."
"Go on then," the Doctor agrees happily. "See ya."
Cathica turns back around. "I can't just leave ya can I."
Rose turns to her. "If you want to be useful, get them to turn the heating down. It's boiling." Rose complains. "What's wrong with this place, can't they do something about it?"
"I don't know," Cathica sighs. "We keep asking about it. Something to do with the turbines."
"Something to do with the turbines," the Doctor mocks.
"Well I don't know." Cathica responds.
"Exactly!" The Doctor exclaims. "I give up on you Cathica. Now Rose, look at Rose, she's asking the right kind of questions."
"I thank you," Rose beams at his praise.
"Whys it so hot?" The Doctor calls.
"Oh, one minute your worried about the empire," Cathica stats frustratedly. "And the next minute it's the central heating."
The Doctor still working on the monitor replies. "Oh, never underestimate plumbing. Plumbings very important." A few sparks later and a few wires pulled out he managers to get the monitor working. "There ya go." He shows Cathica. " Satellite 5, pipes and plumbing. Look at the layout."
"This is ridiculous," Cathica scoffs. "You've got access to the computers core. You could look at the archives, the news, the stock exchange and your looking at pipes."
"But there's something wrong." The Doctor insists.
"I suppose," Cathica frowns. "The ventilation system, cooling ducts, ice filters all working flat out channeling massive amounts of heat down."
"All the way from the top." The Doctor hints.
Rose sighed. "Floor 500."
The Doctor agrees. "Something up there's making tons and tons of heat."
"Well," Rose suggested. "I don't know about you but I feel like I'm missing out on a party. It's all going on upstairs."
"You can't," Cathica turns to her. "You need a key."
"Keys are just codes," the Doctor shrugs. "I've got the codes right here. Here we go, override 215.9."
Cathica stares on in shock. "How come it's giving you the code."
The Doctor stared straight at the camera. "Someone up there likes me."
The lift opens and the Doctor and Rose walk in. Cathica stops just outside the doors. "Come on," Rose enticed. "Come with us."
"No way," Cathica stats.
"Bye," the Doctor waves and grins.
"Well don't mention my name." Cathica calls. "When you get into trouble don't involve me."
"That's her gone," the Doctor smiles taking Roses hand and linking there fingers. "Looks like it's just you and me."
Rose grins back a him with her cheeky smile. " Yep."
"Good." The Doctor kisses her softly as the doors close and they start ascending. Rose hopes Adams keeping out of trouble while the lift moves up towards floor 500. They finally make it as the doors open and they find that it's snowing, on a space-station, in the middle of space. "The walls are not made of gold," the Doctor notices that Rose is shivering. "You should go back downstairs."
"Tuff," Rose scoffs as she moves past him to have a look around.
The Doctor stares after her. It's like she's been here before, she doesn't act surprised like other companions have in the past. He thought at first she might be telepathic but he's been in her mind And though he wouldn't admit it to her, he's felt the love that she has for him and how open she's been in her mind. The only doors he found were gold tinted ones which he is concerned about it looks similar to the Time Vortex.
He hasn't slept by himself since she's come on board as he always ends up in her bed. Now the TARDIS, cheeky thing she is has combined their two rooms so their sharing. He doesn't mind, in fact he's thrilled until he realises that one day he would have to go on without her but till then he's gonna cram as much time with her as he can.
All this is going through his head as they explore floor 500. They see an open door and walk in to the editor standing behind a group of people looking at monitors. All the people look frozen. Glancing along them Rose doesn't see Suki anywhere and breathes a sigh of relief.
"I started without you," the editor told them. "This is fascinating. Satellite 5 contains every piece of information within the fourth great and bountiful human empire. Birth certificates, shopping habits, bank statements but you two. You don't exist, not a trace. No birth, no job, not the slightest kiss." He turns to them. "How can you walk through the world and not leave a single footprint."
"Oh my god," Rose exclaimed. "What have you done to them?"
"I think their dead," the Doctor quietly explains. "They've all got chips in their heads and the chips keep going. Like puppets."
The editor looks him up and down. "Oh, your full of information but it's only fair we get some information back because apparently, your no one," he laughs. "It's so rare not to know something. Who are you?"
The Doctor turns to him. "It doesn't matter, where off. Nice to met you, come on."
Two of the frozen people grab the Doctor and puts him in manacles as another grabs Rose and places manacles on her. "Tell me who you are?" The editor insists.
The Doctor scoffs. "Since that informations keeping us alive I'm hardly going to say am I."
"Well perhaps my editor and chief can convince you other wise." The editor grins.
"And who's that?" The Doctor asks.
The editor leans closer to the Doctor. "It may interest you to know that this is not the fourth great and bountiful human empire. In fact," he laughs. "It's not actually human at all, it's merely a place humans happen to live." A growling noise interrupts him suddenly. "Sorry," the editor apologises. "It's a place where humans are allowed to live by kind permission of my client." The editor clicks his fingers and the Doctor and Rose look up as a door in the ceiling opens.
The Doctor stares at it in concern. "You mean that things in charge of satellite 5."
"That thing," the editor condescends. "As you put it. Is in charge of the human race. Almost 100 years mankind has been shaped and guided. His knowledge and ambition is strictly controlled by its broadcast news. Edited by my superior," he waffles on. "Your master, and humanities guiding light, the mighty Jagrafess of the Holyhydrojasic Maxidon. I call him max." Rose rolls her eyes as he continues to waffle on. "Create a climate of fear and it's easy to keep the borders closed. It's just a matter of emphasis," he explains. "The right word in the right ear in a broadcast repeated often enough can destabilise an economy, invent an enemy, change a vote."
Rose looks at him in disgust, "so all the humans are like slaves."
"Well," he grins. "Now there's an interesting point. Is a slave a slave, if he doesn't know he's enslaved."
"Yes," the Doctor clips.
"Oh," he sighs disappointed. "I was hoping for a philosophical debate. Is that all I'm going to get, yes."
"Yes," the Doctor clips again.
The man laughs, "your no fun."
"Let me out of these manacles, you'll find how much fun I am." The Doctor threatens.
"Oh, he's tough isn't he." The editor scoffs. "But, come on, isn't it a great system. You've got to admire it just a little bit."
"You can't hide something like this, on this scale." Rose insists. "Someone must of noticed."
"From time to time," the man agrees. "Someone, yes. The computer chip system allows me to see inside their brains. I can see the smallest doubt and crush it, and then they just carry on. Living the life, strutting about downstairs and across the surface of the earth like there so individual when of course there not. There just cattle. In that respect the Jagrafess hasn't changed a thing."
"What about you," Rose questions. "Your not a Jagrafess, your human."
The editor scoffs. "Yeah, well. Simply being human doesn't pay very well."
"You couldn't off done this all on your own?" Rose tried.
"I represent a consortium of banks. Money prefers a long term investment. Also the Jagrafess needed a little help to install himself," he explained.
"No wonder," the Doctor stated as he sees Cathica listening in. "A creature that size. What's it's life span?"
"3000 years." The editor replies.
"That's one hell of a metabolism generating all that heat." The Doctor tries to hint to Cathica. "That's why satellite 5s so hot. You pump it out of the creature, channelling it downstairs, Jagrafess stays cool, stays alive. Satellite 5 is one great big support system."
The editor points at them. "That's why your so dangerous, knowledge is power but you remain unknown." He clicks his fingers and an electrical charge is distributed through the manacles. "Who are you?"
Rose can feel Bad Wolf stirring even though she's weak. The torture stops. "Leave her alone." The Doctor demands. "I'm the Doctor, she's Rose Tyler, were nothing, were just wondering."
"Tell me who you are?" The editor insists.
"I just said," the Doctor spat.
"Yeah but who do you work for? Who sent you? Who knows about us?" The editor stops suddenly. "Time lord," he exclaims suddenly.
"What," the Doctor looks shocked. Rose has a sinking feeling in her stomach.
"Oh yes," the editor smiles. "The last of the Time Lords and his travelling machine. With his little human girl from long ago."
"Don't know what your talking about." The Doctor bluffs.
"Time travel," the editor insists.
The Doctor continues to bluff, "someone's been telling you lies."
"Young master Adam Mitchell." The editor says as he clicks his fingers. A screen shows up with a view of Adam, with his head open and in pain.
"Oh my god, his head." Rose says in disgust. "He did it again," she mutters a lot quieter but the Doctor still hears.
The Doctors shocked. "What the hells he done. There reading his mind, he's telling them everything."
"And through him I know everything about you, every piece of information in his head is now mine, and you have infinite knowledge Doctor. The human empire is tiny compared to what you've seen in your T.A.R.D.I.S. TARDIS." The editor gloated.
"Well you'll never get your hands on it, I'll die first." The Doctor declares.
"Then die all you want," the editor tells them. Rose is now struggling to hold the Bad Wolf back as she tries to control her own rage. Obviously the only other person she could trust apart from the Doctor is Jack. The Doctor sees the rage in her eyes that mirror his. "Today we are the headlines." The editor exclaims.
"And no ones going to stop you." The Doctor hints to Cathica again. "Because you've breed a human race that doesn't bother to ask questions. Stupid little slaves believing every lie. They would just trot right into the slaughter house if there told it's made out of gold."
The Jagrafess speaks then as the Doctor sees Cathica leave. The editor runs to the monitors. "What's happening? Someone's disengaged the safety." He clicks his fingers and a screen shows Cathica with information streaming out of her head. "Who's that?"
The Jagrafess sounds angry and afraid while the editor tries to do something. "It's Cathica," Rose grins.
"And she's thinking," the Doctor grins back. "She's using what she knows."
"Terminate her access." The editor demands.
The Doctor continues. "Everything I told her about satellite 5, the pipes, the filters, she's reversing it. Look at that, it's getting hot."
"I said terminate," the editor yells. "Burn her mind."
The monitors start short-circuiting and the whole place starts shaking as all the workers slump over their stations when the chips stop working. Roses manacles short circuit and she finds herself free. Reaching into the Doctors pocket she pulls his sonic out and uses it to free him. "She's venting the heat up here," the Doctor continues as Rose finally gets the manacles of. "The Jagrafess needs to stay cool and now it's sitting on top of a volcano." The Doctor grabs Roses hand as they run out, he reaches the door and turns back to the editor. "Oi, mate. You want to bet on a certainty. Massive heat in massive body, massive bang. See ya then."
They ran out the door as they hear a bang behind them. They run across the hall to the room Cathica is in and the Doctor clicks his fingers to close her head. They head back down to floor 139 and both Rose and the Doctor sees Adam standing by the TARDIS.
"We're just gonna go." The Doctor explains. "I hate cleaning up to many questions, you'll manage."
"You have to stay and explain it." Cathica insists. "No ones gonna believe me."
"They might start believing a lot of things now. Human race should accelerate, all back to normal." The Doctor assured her.
"What about your friend?" Cathica asks hesitantly.
The Doctor loses his smile. "He's not my friend."
The Doctor and Rose head towards him. Rose stops right in front of him.
"I'm alright now," Adam insists. "I've even got your phone."
Rose slaps him hard across the face before taking her phone and storming inside the TARDIS. The Doctor winces, knowing a Tyler slap can hurt. Grabs Adam by his collar as he shoves him into the TARDIS.
The TARDIS disappears from satellite 5 and lands in a quiet house on a quiet street. The Doctor grabs Adam and steps outside and into the living room. Rose following behind. "It's my house, I'm home. Oh my god I'm home," Adam exclaims. "Blimey, I thought you were going to chuck me out off an airlock."
"Is there something else you would like to tell me?" The Doctor questions.
"No," Adam looks confused. "What do you mean?"
The Doctor walks to the answer phone. "The archive of satellite 5, one second of that message could change the world." He used his sonic to blow up the phone and destroy the message. "That's it then, see ya."
"How do ya mean, see ya," Adam gasps.
"As in goodbye," the Doctor explains.
"But what about me," Adam points to his head. "You can't just go, I've got a chip type 2, my head opens."
"What like this," the Doctor clicks his fingers and Adams head opens.
"Don't," Adam warns as he clicks to close his head.
"Don't do what," the Doctor asks as he clicks his fingers to open Adams head again.
"Stop it," Adam clicks to close it again.
"Alright now Doctor, that's enough," Rose butts in. She then clicks her fingers.
"Oi," Adam complains.
"Sorry, couldn't resist." Rose tried to hide her grin. She's still wondering how someone could ever do something like that.
"Come on, take me with you." Adam begs the Doctor.
"Sorry," he says not really sorry at all. "I only take the best, I've got Rose." He walks into the TARDIS.
Rose moves to follow. "Rose please," Adam begs her. "Take me with you."
Rose turns back to him. "I thought you were smart, apparently I was wrong. Cause someone smart wouldn't think about having a door placed in their head." She turns her back on him and heads back into the TARDIS as she disappears.
Yes I know I didn't have to have Adam get a door in his head but it's funny and really he's suppose to be super smart yet he has a door put in his head. Still Rose managed to save Suki. Suki was suppose to be a resistance fighter yet she doesn't realise that a promotion coming out of the blue is strange.
