Looking at the robot on the table The Doctor tapped his head thoughtfully with the screwdriver. With the help of Phil they'd managed to relocate it back into the safe haven. He did have another disruptor next to him on another table, but that was it. He'd only managed to find two, Phil sat on a nearby table drawing the robot in front of her.

"A radio!" He exclaimed all of a sudden, Phil looked up at him from her book. "Don't look so confused! What else is around at this moment in time which can broadcast the signal? We need a radio, or something equal."

"What about a phone?"

"Well now that you mention it a phone would work just as well," The Doctor walked around the table and towards her. Phil rummaged in her bag and threw the phone in his direction. "Hold on this was a present from your cousin! I can't use this to transmit the signal."

"Oh...ok, why?"

"It'll most likely short circuit and break." The Doctor explained, "Things from Earth aren't really up for coping with things to do with aliens." He handed her phone back to her, "That and I'm sure Darren will give me a lecture."

"He'd give me a lecture for giving you my phone."

"Well in that case we'll both suffer a lecture from him. Can he lecture? He doesn't look like he could." The Doctor trailed off and turned back to the robot. "We need to go back-"

"Isn't there a radio on the ship?"

"No, everything on there is kaput." The Doctor walked back over and took her book from her hands and put it in her rucksack. "Come on Phil, lets shut down these robots."

"Can't we reprogram them to go elsewhere?"

"We could," The Doctor walked out of the room with Phil following after him while she put her bag on. "Where to send them though? I would send them back to where ever they came from but I don't even know where that is." Soon looking up at the cracks in the ground they looked at the blue desert sky above. "I hope they have a radio."

"What if they don't? Are they likely to? Are radios even around yet?"

"You have three good questions there Phil. Well if they don't then...knowing what you people are like for musical entertainment they'll have some sort of musical device."

"A gramophone?"

"Possibly, hey look you have to work with what you get given. I'll take a gramophone, I'm fine with that."

"But...what do we do for a record?"

"Take one of theirs and record over whatever is on there?" The Doctor said simply, Phil just raised an eyebrow at him. "You're right, this is getting very silly."

"I'm glad my expression portrayed that." Phil said happily while starting to shimmy up the rope. Going up was harder than it was coming down. Once they were both back up they winced at the sun. Being in the dim light of the caves had effected their eyes greatly. "Wouldn't that just mean you'd have to use the TARDIS? Why don't you just use her anyway to broadcast the signal?"

"Because that's so simple Phil, I like a challenge, although we may as well use her anyway." The Doctor said defeated that trying to find another solution failed.

"Wouldn't it just be easier?"

"But that's not the point! Going for the easier option is boring!"

"I find it alright."

"Well you're boring."

"I am not boring."

"No you're really not, I didn't mean that Phil sorry! But alright, lets broadcast the signal from there." The Doctor said while walking quickly back to where the TARDIS was awaiting them. He didn't want to point out that they'd have to go back to the caves to see if the signal had worked. That was information which could wait for the moment.

Swinging the doors open The Doctor ran up the stairs towards the console. Phil shut the door behind her and walked after him. "Are you sure this will work?"

"No! Of course not, when am I ever sure of anything?"

"You really fill me with confidence at times you know that right?" Phil laughed and looked confused at the screwdriver which had just been placed in her hands. The Doctor stood next to her quickly typing, taking it from her hands he pointed it at the console.

"Yeah well I was lying, I'm sure it will work."

"You contradict yourself a lot, you're really bonkers."

"Yup I know Phil, I know." The Doctor smiled and pushed a button, "Done."

"That's it?"

"What was you expecting? We just shut them down, they're not going to explode." The Doctor rolled his eyes. "You have such a over active imagination, hold onto something please Phil." She did as she was asked and let go when the TARDIS stopped and was stationary again.

The two peeked out and saw the robots laying down on the ground, the elongated creatures had ventured out to see what was up. It was clear that the signal worked and that the robots would not move ever again.

"You'll be alright now," The Doctor said while smiling at them. "They won't be bothering you anymore, not that I knew if there bothering you or not. Were they? They must have been." The Doctor rubbed his head in thought, "Oh well, farewell." He ducked back into the TARDIS and pulled Phil back in too.

They made a quick stop back to see James Black and tell him to go back to England where he obviously belonged. Anyone with a shred of sense could see that he didn't want to be here in Egypt, when all was said and done Phil was a little happy to be back on board sitting on her bed.

Looking over her apparent broken ankle she hummed thoughtfully. Got shot, the TARDIS saved her. Broken ankle, the TARDIS healed her. Crossing her arms Phil stood up and pottered out of her room, her feet made barely any sound. She'd changed more or less as soon as they left Egypt, now being comfy in a long sleeve grey t-shirt, after having a shower and getting rid of all the sand. She turned the corner and frowned.

The console room was empty, for once. Although it was obvious it was empty, even from her room Phil would be able to clearly hear The Doctor running around talking to himself. Turning on her heels she walked down the corridor. There were many parts of the TARDIS that she didn't know of. Actually nearly the whole TARDIS was a mystery to her, choosing not to explore she turned around the corner and looked at a lone door.

Only because Doctor didn't sleep like a regular person, didn't mean that he didn't have a room. Walking up Phil knocked on the door, "Oh this makes a change! It's usually me knocking on your door! How can I help Phil?" The Doctor grinned from behind the door, Phil gave him a sceptical look.

"Have I interrupted something?"

"No, not at all." He paused, "Why do you ask?"

"You look a little...flustered? Is that the right word to use? I don't know," Phil shrugged and watched as he swung the door open and pottered back into his room. Taking this as a sign to enter she walked in after him and shut the door. "Erm," Phil looked around, The Doctor popped out from behind something which would have once resembled a bookcase, if only it wasn't totally covered in wires and pieces of machinery.

"Yes Phil?"

"Your room..."

"Yes Phil?" The Doctor moved away from the bookcase and looked around. "Oh I know! It's a mess, I keep saying to myself I'll tidy it one day. But you know that day hasn't arrived yet. So it stays like it is." He explained simply, Phil shook her head and looked around again.

"Actually I was going to say," she paused. "Although yes it's rather...untidy. You have no bed, actually," Phil twirled around to get a good scan of the room. "You have no bedroom furniture in here. No wonder you don't sleep in here."

The Doctor stood there rocking slightly on his heels, nodding he clapped his hands and walked back around the bookcase. "And also, your room reminds me of a kids room."

"Hey!"

"What? You're a big kid really and you know it!" Phil laughed and crossed her arms. It was reminiscent of a kids room. Only instead of numerous toys scattering the floor there was just different pieces of machinery and a lot of wires.

"What brings you here then Phil?"

"I came to actually ask you something."

"Oh this sounds serious, will I perhaps need to sit down and prepare for the worse?"

"No! It's nothing bad honestly, it's more of a curiosity thing." Phil said while taking to walking around his room. "Sit down? You don't have a seat!"

"Yes I do!" He said while swivelling around the bookcase, "I only have one though."

"I'll sit on the floor."

"Just push that junk off of the desk."

"Is it actually junk?"

"No it's not junk so please don't actually push it off. Be careful please Phil." The Doctor said while spinning around on the chair, he took pieces of machinery and that from her when she passed them to him. He placed them on the bookcase somewhere, once a space had been cleared Phil jumped up to sit on the desk.

He stopped spinning and looked at her as seriously as he could, which was rather hard considering there was three of her. Phil laughed and crossed her arms over her chest, The Doctor shook his head and slowly waved a hand at Phil. "Come on then what's up?"

"Well I was thinking."

"Oh dear, you should be careful about doing that."

"Yeah I know," she sighed the two sat in silence before looking at each other and then laughing. "Well like...isn't it weird?"

"Yes it is weird, well if I knew what you were on about then I could agree. What are you talking about?"

"You interrupted before I could finish!"

"Right sorry continue then Phil."

"I have a raw energy source in me right?" She received a nod, "Why do I heal quickly?"

"This is about struggling with your humanity then huh?" He leaned more in the chair and entwined his hands on his stomach. "You look rather human from here." The Doctor just got a sidewards glare. "What? You're human...just slightly enhanced. What sort of host would you be if you were battered and laid out for months because of a broken ankle? You give her a sense of small freedom. Emphasis on small because there's really not much of her in you." He said simply while taking to spinning in the chair again, Phil sat in thought for a moment before nodding. "I'm not surprised by your confusion, you do struggle to grasp onto concepts."

"That's mean!"

"And your moping," he shot up from the chair and dizzily walked around. Phil laughed at him and shot up from the desk when his dizzy walking ended up tripping over wires. Grabbing onto his shoulders she managed to redirect him back to the chair. "You have to take something into consideration Phil," Doctor looked up at her while trying to make his eyes focus. There was suddenly multiple digits of her standing in front of him again.

"What's that?"

"The TARDIS is and has been, stuck in this form for so long. Does that help answer some confused questions in your mind?" He ran a hand through his hair, Phil nodded and smiled. He grinned back and shot out of the chair and pottered around, in all honesty he was still utterly bemused as to how Phil was still functioning.

He had originally pinned it down to her psychic energy, but that would get obliterated and over powered easily by the energy of the TARDIS. Picking something up he walked back to where she was sitting on the desk. Holding the object out to her he watched happily at her confused expression. Phil really was a enigma, not that he was complaining.

"What is it?"

"Well on Earth I believe it's what you lot called a Game Boy."

"This is an alien version of a Game Boy?"

"Yup."

"Wow that's so 90's."

"Oi!" Doctor took the object back from her and wagged a finger at her. Phil crossed her arms and looked up at him. "I've only just got it to work."

"You're a little late. There's better hand held consoles now, like...PSP's? Erm...Nintendo DS's..."

"Alright I don't need a list, what's wrong with Game Boys?"

"Nothing I loved mine, I played Pokemon on it for hours." Phil said happily remembering her beloved Game Boy. Having the alien version suddenly placed in her hands she turned it on and raised an eyebrow. "Isn't this a little down graded for something an alien came up with?"

"Phil your standards are so high! You know technology has to evolve, it starts off crummy and cheap and then becomes something so much more," The Doctor said rather passionately, he waved his hand at the little cube in her hands. "Something so much more high tech, quicker, faster, bigger and better."

"You're right."

"I often am, come on Phil lets get out of here and go elsewhere."
