When all was quiet Doctor moved away from the wall and opened the door to peer through. The corridor was silent and dark, seemed the lights were flickering on and off. Turning to look at Phil who shook her head and looked at him he walked back into the room.
"Leaving?"
"We can't." He shook his head, "No way are we leaving."
"What happened?" She asked quietly, Doctor moved away from the wall where she was still leaning against and took to looking around the room. Seeing a computer system he took out the screwdriver and started scanning it, pulling it forward to get to the back he scanned it again.
"A doorway Phil that's what happened." He said simply while putting the computer back to normal, giving the side a hit he grinned when the screen sparked into life. It seemed through opening the doorway it short circuited everything in the building.
"The screaming is happening again." Phil said while walking slowly over to where he was, standing up straight he turned and looked at her. "It's really painful, sounds...like it's dying." Doctor frowned at her words, "What is it Doctor?" Phil blinked confused green eyes up at him. "What is this screaming and what are they?"
"Do you remember the one thing, well one of the few things which annoy me? And I told you that you'd most likely come across them if you stayed with me? And that they'd most likely annoy you too because you get annoyed easily?" He questioned instead of just answering her question. Phil frowned and closed her eyes trying to remember that conversation, with the new skill of remembering she flicked her eyes open.
"You remembered?"
"Yeah."
"Ok well I have to admit I just love the get togethers me and the Daleks have but you know, they're really annoying. I wonder what bought them here this time? They're always after something so I suggest we go find out."
"You're suggesting we go back into that room and converse with them?"
"Yes! Oh don't sound so shocked Phil! What else was you expecting me to say? I don't have anything else to go on unless we go back into that room. Let me work my magic on them and then we can leave all in time for evening tea and the news."
"I hate the news."
"We've had this conversation before, fine in your case then," Doctor paused to put his hand on the door handle. Phil turned and looked at him, "We'll be out in time for evening cartoons and tea."
"Oh! I like that idea better." Phil said while smiling widely and running after him out of the door, Doctor turned her away from where the bodies of the group laid, who had earlier been so confused by the demonstration.
"Don't look behind you."
"Alright."
"Your obedience is still something I need to get used to Phil," Doctor smiled while she just nodded and put her hands in her pockets.
"So," Phil said while they stopped in front of the doors to the high ceiling room where the console knock off was. "They keep appearing? Like...they keep popping up? They won't leave?"
"What are you getting at?"
"Can I just use a cartoon reference?"
"Go ahead Phil you have my permission," Doctor said while pushing the door open and walking in. "Hello one and all yet again!" He beamed and got the attention of the small group of Daleks in the room.
Phil made a popping noise, "They are the Joker to your Batman." Phil wiggled her fingers up at him, Doctor flinched and looked at her oddly.
"I think I need to cut back your cartoon watching as well as drama show watching time." He said while wagging a finger down at her, Phil just giggled. "Is it always Batman?"
"Ah well...it was the best I could come up with at such a short time." Phil nodded, the two of them got caught up in their conversation and didn't seem to notice the surrounding Daleks move slowly over to them. The only time they noticed was when Doctor stopped pinching her cheeks as a form of revenge for outsmarting him in a quick comment and looked over at them.
"So! This is what you do! You observe an idiotic, yet brilliant person try and make something, which granted is completely impossible for this time and completely idiotic for this time. You sit and wait until he's finished, full well knowing that this is going to benefit you more, then what?" Doctor paused while looking at the Daleks which were surrounding them. "You just see the doorway and walk, well...you don't have the ability to walk but you get my meaning, through the doorway?" He paused again and ran a hand through his hair, "Why? This is the 1980's there's nothing here at all which could benefit you."
"We were called," answered one that was of a golden colour, Doctor slid his eyes over to look at it. Phil stood impartial to it all, there was nothing that she could say which would be of any use.
"Called? You were called? By who? Who in the world would want to call you lot?" Doctor questioned truly confused but with a hint of anger in his voice. One of the black coloured Daleks turned to the console like object and moved up to it. Putting – what Phil could only describe as a plunger – to a dome like piece on the console the two of them watched as it parted. The latch from earlier on that the two tried to break into came clear into view.
Exchanging glances they peered past two Daleks in front of them to look at the latch, the moment didn't make any sense. Phil was confused and by looks of things Doctor was struggling to come to grasps with it too.
The top half of the Dalek which was still standing near the console swivelled around, so the long telescope like eye stock was pointing at them. The latch which was still unlocked from earlier was easy to open.
"Ew," Phil muttered and looked at the octopus like creature within the small cabinet with a grossed out expression. "What is that?"
"That's a Dalek."
"B-but-"
"That is what they're really like," Doctor explained and frowned. "You came because one of your own kind called out? That's very unlike you lot isn't it? Since when did you all get so compassionate towards each other?"
"We did not come for it," one near them spoke which caused Phil to jump and suddenly grip onto the tweed jacket sleeve of the Doctor. She almost forgot that they were surrounded and that each spoke individually when they felt the need.
"It was merely used and now its purpose is finished with."
"Now hold on, as you all know I'm not the greatest fan of yours but I don't think even I could stand by and watch you kill it," Doctor said slightly awkwardly trying to come to terms with his words while pointing a finger at the creature in the cabinet.
"What will happen when it dies?" Phil asked, Doctor looked at her seriously, she shrugged.
"It won't die."
"I'm merely asking, what will happen when it dies."
"But it won't while I'm here, as much as I hate myself for admitting I would help that one. I'll most likely regret it though."
"Doctor? You can't save it because it's already dying."
He looked from the cabinet to the slow blinking Dalek within it and then to Phil, "That was the source of the screaming then huh?" He asked, Phil gave a slow nod. "What does it sound like?"
"Nothing, there is no sound."
Doctor sighed and then turned to look to the nearest Dalek which was surrounding them, "Come on then! Answer the ladies question! And it is a very good question." Doctor poked the Dalek he was standing in front of in the eye stock and ducked when it swivelled round. "Oh come on! The answer can't be anything I haven't heard before! I've heard a lot of answers you know so come on you can tell us!"
"It was used to open the doorway, when it dies the doorway closes and we are here." The one near the console said, the Doctor moved away from the one he was previously poking. Looking seriously to the one which spoke he took a step forward, "The doorway will close?" Doctor repeated as he casually walked past a few Daleks to stand in front of the one at the console.
"That is correct." The unsympathetic robotic voice was starting to get slowly annoying to Phil, Doctor shrugged and waved a hand at the Dalek in front of him.
"Right right I see how it is. Your kind gets used to open a doorway, any other species I would be sympathetic but not to you lot. That one dies and you're all stuck here," Doctor jumped to stand in front of Phil who nodded following the conversation simply.
"So what does this mean Doctor?"
"What does this mean?"
"Yeah?"
"It basically means run Phil," he grinned and darted past her while grabbing a hold of her hand and pulling her out of the room. The last sounds which she heard was numerous exclamations of the word "Exterminate."
