"Can't we go through the vents or something?" Donna spoke with a heavy accent.
"No, they are too small." The Doctor looked at Emma mockingly, "But I've said that before and you seem to defy the laws of the universe."
"Don't mock me because I am talented." Emma stood in front of the Doctor, who leaned against the door.
"Oh please you two." Donna complained, "Stop flirtin', or I'll lock ya both in separate rooms."
"We are not flirting." Emma stepped away from the Doctor, as he blushed.
"Okay then, we have to find out what this red eye is caused by." The Doctor cleared his throat.
The Doctor pointed to a computer in the corner of the room, "Donna can you access the computer over there and find incident reports."
Donna moved across the room to a computer next to a thrashing Ood. The Doctor moved across the room and looked at the Ood. Emma walked over to a window that is placed just above her viewing level on the wall. She stood up on her tiptoes and looked at the snow-covered landscape outside.
"All the files are gone." Donna typed furiously on the keyboard, "They never existed."
Outside the window, dozens of Ood, with red eyes, started to attack civilians and workers with their translators.
Emma gasped, "Doctor!" She turned to him her eyes wide, "More of the Ood have started to go rogue."
The Doctor sonic'd the Ood his face perplexed, "How many?" He spoke without looking at Emma.
"Twenty or so." Emma got down on her flat feet, walked over to a stack of papers, and started trifling through them, "Ood biology, procedure," She mumbled to herself. "Six hundred and forty. There are Six hundred forty active indentured servant Ood on the Ood sphere." Emma picked up a piece of notebook paper, "Over the period of the last few weeks thirty Ood have developed red eyes and become hostile. Fortunately, there have been no incidents outside of the Ood sphere. One of the Ood was euthanized and I was able to perform an autopsy." Emma quoted.
"What is that?" The Doctor walked over to Emma.
The Doctor tried to reach over Emma's shoulder and take the article but she pulled the paper away from his reach.
"Wait your turn, child." Emma kept on reading.
"Child? I am over nine hundred years old." His voice reached falsetto.
"And I am twenty two. Age doesn't determine maturity Doctor." Emma handed him the paper, "Now go ahead and read your little hearts out." Emma started to read the other papers.
"My god, Children." Donna stood up from the computer, "Can we focus, please." A loud band sounded on the door.
"Is that the Ood?" Donna asked as the bangs against the door continued.
Emma ran over to a metal table and placed her hands down on the table and looked around, "Experiments on living things sometimes include," Emma pointed to a cabinet with a warning symbol on the front, "Fluorosulfuric acid." She ran over to it and pulled out a vile.
"What's that?" Donna asked looking at the Doctor.
"What are you going to do with that?" The Doctor looked at Emma questioningly.
"I am going to burn off the lock to the restricted zones." Emma explained. "There are about five scattered throughout the building." Emma pointed to the building plan on the table.
"How fast do you read?" Donna asked Emma as Emma continued to the door.
"Very." Emma looked to the Doctor, "Any Ideas on how to distract this Ood."
"Right, um." The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver.
The Doctor opened the door and let the Ood walk slightly through the threshold before The Doctor sonic'd the translator making a small current of electricity go through the Ood's arm and up to its brain.
"We should get going before it comes to." The Doctor walked out to door into the hallway. Emma followed behind him pointing him in the right direction to one of the restricted rooms.
"Here we go." Emma poured a little fluorosulfuric acid on the electronic lock by the door melting it instantly. The door opened and Emma slid it open.
Beyond the door a cage rested against a wall with Ood inside, their hands bound.
"They're singing." Emma walked towards the cage and the Ood moved away from her.
"You can hear that?" The Doctor walked through the door.
"Hear what?" Donna stood behind him.
"Would you like to hear, Donna?" The Doctor looked at her with a serious look.
"Yes." The Doctor placed his fingers on Donna's temples.
Donna heard the mournful song of enslaved Ood. A tear fell down Donna's cheek as she gasped at the sound, "Take it away."
The Doctor put his hands back on Donna's temples and silenced the Ood song.
"But you can still hear it." Donna looked mournfully at the Doctor.
Emma poured acid on the lock and pulled the door open, "Hello." Emma got down on her knees and greeted the Ood, "My name is Emma, and this is the Doctor and Donna."
"Hi." Donna waved to the Ood.
"Are you holding your brain?" Emma asked looking down at their hand as they cowered in the corner, "It's alright I won't hurt you," Emma placed the acid vile away from the Ood.
One of the Ood held out their hand to reveal their hindbrain. "Oh my god." A tear escaped Emma's eye, "These people rip out the brains of such innocent creatures and enslave them."
"Like a lobotomy?" Donna walked into the cage and kneeled next to Emma, "You poor things." Donna's voice laced with sadness.
"You get rid of that and a person loses their personality making them not themselves anymore. They take out the things that make a person a person and stitch on a translator."
"I tried so hard to find you, Doctor. Because I thought the universe would be so beautiful." More tears escaped Donna's eyes, "I want to go home."
"I can help you." Emma spoke kindly to the Ood.
