Evolution of the Daleks part 2
The Doctor never imagined his reunion with his wife to be like this. His imagination pictured the two of them running into each others arms. Smiling, laughing and then crashing into each other with such a force the wind would be knocked from his lungs. But in a way the reunion he had shared with his beloved was something out of a dream. Just seeing her there, smiling up at him was everything he could have wanted. Her small form pressed against him again made all his worries and troubles vanish for a few seconds while he held his beautiful angel in his arms.
Both Rose and The Doctor were connected once more. There bond was once again as strong as it had been since they had been separated, and the emotions that was travelling between the two of them were so breath taking the pair of them could not keep their eyes off each other. But the Doctor couldn't help but feel something was going to happen. Something bad was going to happen again and he would be pulled from his Wife's side yet again. He looked down at the gorgeous blonde that was standing in front of him and he smiled. But a sudden change had come about in her perfectly sculptured features. Nervousness was settling in Rose's stomach and her unease was being transferred over to the Doctor.
"Rose what is it?" The Doctor asked her. A grimace was evident in his features as he grabbed hold of Roses small warm hand into his. She just looked at him sadly. "What's going on?" He demanded, his voice giving away how he was feeling. Worry, panic and fear of losing her again.
"I need to go" She whispered to him. Pain of having to leave him was getting too much. The withdrawal from the Super Structure was already making itself know. Her skin was itching, her head was pounding and she felt so weak. She has spent too much time plugged into it. She was addicted. She needed it to with stand her life force. She was begging to panic, searching the forest for the quickest escape root. But when she looked up at the Doctor's worried expression she couldn't leave him again. She couldn't suddenly run away from him. It would break his hearts. It would break her heart. But she would have to leave him. The Daleks would simply hook her back up to the Computer. She would have to go through the pain all over again. The simple integration was murderous. The pain was so excruciating; she wanted to kill herself just to make the pain end. The way her body withered in such inhuman ways, the cracking of her bones, the snapping of ligaments and the cold-blooded screams caused by the tremendous pain which exploded around her body. Could she go back to that life now she had the Doctor back again? She had modelled the Super Structure in her image. She had control. She could change the course of the Daleks plan. She could fight the system she had been built into. All off these suggestions but not one of them would allow her to stay with her Doctor.
"What have they done to you?" The Doctor whispered soothingly as he run the back of his hand against Rose's cheek once again. Rose closed her eyes as she got lost in the moment. Her breathing hitching as she tried to regain her composure.
"I am the Computer" Rose whispered up to him, the Doctor just looked down sad, his hearts breaking at the implications of that simple statement. "My mind is the hard drive. Due to my superior DNA my life force is superior to Humans. They can run their batteries off me for a couple of hundred years if they wanted." She said to her husband. Her eyes holding so much pain, so much sorrow, it was hard for the both of them to stay strong. It was hard for them to think positive, so hard not to show weakness towards their common enemy.
"What is their plan Rose?" The Doctor asked. She just looked down and pulled away slightly. The two Daleks looking down at their Computer, listening intently to the Doctors and Rose's conversation. As soon as she took a step out of line they would destroy her. Punish her. Rose was simply looking down at the floor, her fringe hiding her face slightly. Rose was rubbing her deathly white skin with her hand, her nails clawing at her skin as the itching sensation became unbearable. She felt like she was falling out of her own skin. But she looked up at the Doctor. Her eyes full of unhappiness. She wanted to tell him so bad. She wanted to tell him everything. The plan the Daleks had planned out was so horrific, it would not end well for Rose. Either way she would die. That was inevitable. But she didn't want the Doctor to know that. She wanted him to live a life in hope, a life she would have wanted with him.
"I can't tell you" she said her voice withering away as the Doctors eyes bore into her very soul. Rose's eyes watering at the intensity of her husbands eyes. She clung onto the necklace around her neck. Her TARDIS key and the two elegant wedding rings which had lived on her fourth finger on her left hand were dangling around her neck.
"Rose, you're not telling me something" The Doctor said over to her, she simply looked back up to him. He was taking a few steps towards her, reaching for her again, needing to feel her tender skin on his.
"If I tell you, they'll kill me" Rose whispered, fear voided from her voice, but it was evident in their link, and her eyes. "I can't let them do that" she said as she looked at his hand and then to his eyes, wanting to be held in his arms. Wanting to press her lips to his... but she couldn't. She mustn't.
"I am their life force. Without me they would be nothing. I am more of their captive than you are. If I take one step out of line pain, such unbearable pain will be unleashed on my body. The only thing I am needed for is BAD WOLF" She said to him, her body shaking at memories of previous incidents, but she had an idea. She would hint to him about their plan. Clues that the Doctor would figure out. He would find his answers and help her. Because the Doctor was oh so very clever.
"I can see everything. All that is. All that was. All that ever could be. I bring life" Rose said up to the Doctor. His frown moving from one of confusion to one of recognition. Rose had used the words of BAD WOLF.
"You will follow." The Dalek in the sky commanded. Rose looked down at the ground once again, sniffed and moved away from the Doctor, going to stand beneath her masters. The moment she couldn't feel the warmth from the Doctor's body she felt lost. Everything she had ever wanted was in arms reach, and now it was gone. The Daleks had prevented the life she had wanted with the Doctor to commence years ago. So much more time had past for her than the Doctor. Having to live those years alone, in pain... A captive of the Daleks.
"No!" Martha shouted. Her eyes fixed on the Doctor. Lips hanging open, showing her teeth while her eyebrows were raised and scrunched together in the middle. Rose had snapped her eyes up to the young black women who had screamed in opposition. Rose got a good look at her. Graceful, passionate and soft skin. Deep brown eyes which held so much life and feeling. Dark hair which was held up in a messy pony tail on the top of her head, her fringe falling from her face. She looked intelligent. She looked impressive. She was glad the Doctor had found someone to travel with. Someone to stop him when he got carried away. "You can't go!" But the Doctor simply turned around to talk to her.
"I've got to go." He said to her. His eyes soft, but eyebrows raised, mouth clenched open, passion rising in his voice "The Daleks just changed their minds. Daleks never change their minds." The Doctor said to her, shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head in the process. Martha was looking at the Doctor with sad eyes. One of her hands held limply by her leg, the other motioning towards the group of people with the stick she had picked up to arm herself.
"But what about us?" She whispered. The Doctor looked towards the pitiful people of Hooverville. Each one of them looking towards the Doctor or the Daleks. He thought for a second before facing the Dalek that was floating in the sky.
"One condition! If I come with you, you spare the lives of everyone here! Do you hear me?" The Doctor yelled; his face scrunching up as he strained his voice. Rose admired his passion, his commitment to these people. She could hear the voice of Dalek Sec in her voice and nodded to him.
"You have my word" She said softly, nodding her head towards him. The Doctor had not expected Rose to answer instead of the Dalek. He looked at her and looked down sadly. Rose was caught up in this deeper than he realised and it broke his hearts to see the fighting spirit Rose used to have, no longer present in her eyes. She had lost that the day the Daleks had taken her away from the Doctor. She had nothing to fight for.
The Doctor was still looking from Rose to the Dalek. His emotions conflicting inside him. The need to help his wife; or the need to destroy the Daleks. He knew that if he did the latter the women he loved would bear the consequences. Something he couldn't even allow himself to think about. Seeing Rose in pain because of him... he wouldn't be able to forgive himself. Martha had run over to his side. Her eyes holding so much devotion to him. Her eyes wide as she fought for what she believed in, but he couldn't let her. He looked back down at her.
"Then I'm coming with you"
"Martha, stay here. Do what you do best. People are hurt. You can help them. Let me go." The Doctor whispered so only she could hear. His eyes holding compassion and kindness as he looked upon her undying loyalty to him. He looked back at the people and then towards Rose who was standing between the Daleks, scratching at her skin. Martha was looking up at the Doctor sadly, her lips pressed together, her eyebrows knitted together and her eyes gloomy.
"Doctor" Rose said softly from her spot across the clearing "It's time" She motioned for the Doctor to follow her small, weak form. The Doctor turned to look at her before striding off to follow them. Martha was simply standing their hurt and alone. But the Doctor suddenly paused and looked back towards his companion.
"Oh, and can I just say, thank you very much." He said kindly and softly.
The Doctor griped her hand with both of his and winked. As he walked off he pushed his coat away and placed his hands in his pockets as he walked over to Rose, a soft smile on her lips. Martha saw he had given her the psychic paper as she looked at it to try and swallow her own jealousy.
Men were flinging buckets of water over small fires which were littered around Hooverville due to the attack from the Daleks. The bodies of the killed Pig men were being buried in the neighbouring forest. People were loitering all over the place. Helping out to mend broken tents, to try and smother fires which were burning, and to help the injured over to Martha.
She was currently applying a bandage to a man's arm who was sitting in a chair in front of her.
"Here you go. I got some more on the boil." Tallulah said down hearted as she pulled the material over her body and placed the saucepan of water on a table neighbouring the place where Martha had settled down to work
"Thanks" Martha said with a slight smile on her lips. She finished trying the bandage on the man's arm and placed her hands gently to his shoulders.
"You'll be all right. It's just a cut. Try and keep it clean." She said as he looked up at her
"Thanks." He smiled before grabbing his coat and striding towards one of the nearest fires to try and help put it out. Tallulah crossed her arms over her chest and leant her shoulder onto the side of the hut. Her expression held sadness at the amount of people wounded. But most off all she was upset and worried about Lazlo.
"So what about us? What do we do now?" She asked Martha softly. Martha's face was still forlorn as she thought about hers and the Doctors last meeting. The last hour or so had been eventful to say the least. The Doctor had rescued her from the Daleks to be reunited with his companion, to then be taken by them again. But something didn't feel right. Rose had sided with the Daleks. She was working with them and Martha found it difficult to trust her. The Doctor had jumped at the opportunity to believe her. Martha assumed that all he could see was his old companion again. Martha was struggling to bite back her jealousy as the image of the Doctor holding Rose in his arms kept popping back into her mind to taunt her. Just the way the Doctor was holding Rose sent shivers down her spine. The Doctor seemed to be alot closer to Rose than he originally let on and Martha felt somewhat hurt that he had not told her the whole truth that time on New Earth.
"The Doctor gave me this. He must have had a reason." Martha said over to her friend while she pulled the black wallet from her back pocket. A frown present on her face. Tallulah frowning as Martha rambled to her.
"What's that for?"
"Gets you into places, buildings and things. But where? He must want me to go somewhere but what am I supposed to do?" Martha replied. A frown still present on her face as she fingered the battered leather, revealing the well loved and well used Psychic paper.
The Daleks were still leading Rose and the Doctor towards the Lab. The Doctor had made it down the Ladder first and now Rose was making her way down. The Doctor kept getting funny feelings in the bottom of his stomach that if he took his eyes away from Rose for one second she would vanish. He was finding it increasingly difficult to believe that she was there. But Rose knew this. One because she was feeling the same but also because she could sense his unease, and sometimes the odd thought was transferred between the two of them via there link. At this point the Doctor had his hands around Rose's waist as he helped her from the ladder. Her hands were on his shoulders, there faces so close. Rose and The Doctor simply stood there looking into each others eyes. The need to be close to each other, the need to feel each other's lips was becoming to hard to deny. But suddenly the 2nd Dalek had make its way down to the floor of the sewer and they pulled away.
While they were walking down the corridor the Doctor couldn't help but steal glances down at the striking woman who was walking beside him. Sometimes she would catch him looking at her and she would beam up at him, his own face forming into one of his world famous, wobbly kneed grins that he saved only for her.
"How long have you been down here?" He whispered to Rose softly. She just looked up at him sorrowfully.
"That was the first time I have been to the surface in 3 years" She said as she turned to look from the Doctor. The Doctor was stunned. His Rose, his beautiful gorgeous Rose had been locked away, stuck as the computer for the last 3 years. His want to help her had grown again. He wanted to pull her away from the Daleks. To bring her back to the TARDIS and to never let her out of his sight again, but knowing Rose she would hate that. She is just as independent as he is, and he knew that she could look after herself. She had grown up so much from the 19 year old he had met all those years ago, but she doesn't look a day over 20. BAD WOLF had slowed down her ageing, something he was so contented about.
"So you've been hooked up for all those years?" The Doctor said in misbelieve. Rose just looked down sadly, before looking back up at him, a smile playing on her lips.
"It wasn't as bad. It's funny how your mind works when you are left on your own for so long. For having to get through the pain that is caused to your body. The only way I have managed to keep myself together for all these years is the thought of seeing you again" Rose said smiling up at him. Her dazzling smile brightening up even the darkest corners of the sewers. The Doctor felt so pleased that he had helped her in someway. So happy that he was the reason that she was still fighting, because he loved and needed her as much as she needed him. "Looking back into our adventures, the memories I have of you were the things that helped me forget the life I was truly living. Constantly calling out to you via the link, hoping and praying you were going to come and save me" Rose said up to him, her eyes big and wide, full of emotion.
"I called Doctor, did you not hear me?" She asked him sadly. The Doctors heart constricted at the amount of unhappiness her voice was holding.
"I didn't know it was you Rose" The Doctor defended. The Rose simply looked away. "Please Rose let me explain" He said to her. With that she looked behind her at the Dalek who was still rolling behind them and then up to him, her eyes softening significantly as she looked up at him. "I wasn't expecting to find you" The Doctor started miserably. "Every time I stepped out of the TARDIS I looked for you, or even a sign of you having been there and it breaks my heart when I find out you haven't. Watching the wonder and admiration spread over Martha's face just makes me want you at my side even more. Watching your own features changing as you show me what you are strictly feeling, to have your hand in mine, comforting me when things get so dangerous. But there all memories, having the real you, here, now at my side is the most fantastic thing I have felt for more than 4 years, and I don't ever want to be parted from you again" The Doctor said truthfully, pouring his heart out to Rose. A single tear had fallen from her left eye as she looked up at the Doctor. He loved her, she loved him, there was no doubt about that, but the situation they had got themselves caught into was such a hard time for them to over come. Either way, Rose would still lose the Doctor. She smiled up at him and clasped her hand in his, squeezing it in comfort and not letting it go, even as they were walking around the corridors. This was the first time both Rose and The Doctor had felt whole for a very long time.
Rose let go of the Doctors hand just before they had reached the lab. She smiled a very gloomy smile before walking in before the Doctor. One of the Daleks at her side; the other behind the Doctor. They stopped at the entrance of the Lab. The Doctor unexpectedly exploding with anger as he breathed harsh breaths out of his mouth
"Those people were defenceless!" He screamed; his body rigid with rage. Dalek Sec snapped around and faced the Doctor, the two Daleks moving forward. Rose too came into the room, but was suddenly shadowed by Two Pig men. "You only wanted me, but no, that wasn't enough for you! You had to start killing 'cause that's the only thing a Dalek's good for!" The Doctor yelled, his face scrunched up in fury, teeth barred, frustration evident on his perfect features.
"The deaths…were wrong." Sec stated, taking a confident step towards his enemy. Rose snapped her head toward the commander Dalek, shock evident in her eyes but a slight smile playing on her lips. All her hard exertion had paid off. She had made Dalek Sec more human. The Doctor was stunned into silence. His breathing still coming out in steady breaths his mouth was still hanging open.
"I'm sorry?" The Doctor managed to say, his head leaning from his neck further, his eyebrows raised.
"That man, their leader Solomon, he showed courage." Sec settled, taking another step forward.
"And that's good?" The Doctor asked while nodding his head, Rose was simply smiling at her husband. Glad to see him do what he did best. Talk
"That's excellent." Sec replied, still very child like
"Is it me or are you just becoming a little bit more human?" The Doctor asked, his eyebrows raised, mouth still open, his head risen as he looked down at the hybrid in front of him.
"You are the last of your kind and now I am the first of mine."
"What do you want me for?" Rose's husband asked, shaking his head towards the man that was standing in front of him
"We tried everything to survive when we found ourselves stranded in this ignorant age. First we tried growing new Dalek embryos but their flesh was too weak." Sec said, walking away from the Doctor for the first part, the time lords arms crossed over his chest while Sec walked past Rose and the two pig men who were guarding her. Sec motioned towards different liquids on the surface in front of him.
"Yeah, I found one of your experiments. Just left to die out there in the dark." The Doctor shouted, eyebrows raised.
"It forced us to conclude what is the greatest resource of this planet—its people." Dalek Sec stated before turning to look at something. But when he finished speaking towards the Doctor he grabbed hold of a leaver and pulled it away from the wall, forcing the lights above him to surge into life. As the Doctor looked up the vision that he saw made both his hearts plummet in his chest. Rose simply looked up, sorrow evident in her large hazel eyes. Sec moved his hand and lifted another switch and one of the bodies was lowered covered with a material. Working on limited power. The power Rose had provided slowly deteriorating. The Doctor unfolded his arms and slowly walked over to the body's side.
"We stole them. We stole human beings for our purpose. Look…inside." Sec told the Doctor, all the while his eyes were flashing from Sec to the body in front of him. Eyes frowned. Sec pointed to the cloth and invited the Doctor to open it. He slowly pulled the material from the man's face showing the Doctor the man that had refused to work his workers to their limits. His ginger hair lifeless, his bluish skin almost the same as Roses. He looked over at her, noticing the Pig Slaves beside her. She caught him looking at her and she smiled a watery smile over to him. The side of his mouth lifted slightly, but he hardly moved his lips at all.
"This…is the extent of the Final Experiment." Sec said up to the Doctor. His one eye never moving from the Doctor's confused features.
"Is he dead?" The Doctor asked, his face never moving from the frown he held on his features
"Near death with his mind wiped ready to be filled with new ideas." Dalek Sec stated. He placed his clawed hand to the man's forehead and placed it their slightly. Rose could see the other two Daleks moving their eyestalks to look at each other. Rose tensed slightly as she felt there emotions travel through her brain.
"Dalek ideas." The Doctor stated, impassive.
"The Human-Dalek race."
"All of these people. How many?" The Doctor asked while he looked up to the ceiling, his hands back in his pockets as he looked at the bodies with his mouth hanging open.
"We have caverns beyond this storing more than a thousand." Sec stated again, his tentacles still moving.
"Is there any way to restore them? Make them human again?" The Doctor questioned.
"Everything they were has been lost." Sec said sadly
"So they're like shells. You've got empty human beings ready to be converted. That's going to take a hell of a lot of power. This planet hasn't even split the atom yet. How're you gonna do it?" The Doctor said to him, a smile playing on his lips.
"Hook the Computer back to the main frame" Sec commanded. Everything in the Doctor's body froze. He looked over at Rose to see she had backed away from the Daleks, petrified.
"No" She said in a deathly whisper. "Not again please" She begged hysterical. The brave women the Doctor knew was vanishing from sight as she had to endure a life of living torment. She didn't want to go through that pain again. The sharp searing pain of the electrical impulses shooting around her body. The stabbing of the wires entering into the healing wounds in her side. She looked over at the Doctor imploring him with her eyes to help her. Begging him to get her out of this situation, not wanting to be parted from him.
"Daleks! You don't have to do this!" The Doctor shouted his own pain boiling to the surface. Rose was now in a firm grip by the Pig men. There arms clinging onto her forearms, all the while she was pugnacious, holding all her weight onto the floor as they had to heave her past her husband and towards the structure in front of her.
"But we must!" One of the Daleks said to the Doctor.
"No" The Doctor whispered. He tried to walk over to Rose, to get hold of her again, but the Pig men had blocked his path from her. He could do nothing. Do nothing to help her and never in his life had he felt so helpless before. The Doctor had to watch powerlessly as the Pig Men grabbed hold of the thick sparking wires.
"No! Let me go! I won't do it! I WON'T!" She screeched, but the Daleks did nothing. The Slaves thrusted the wires into Roses side and she screamed out in agony. Her face scrunched up in torture. The Doctor could feel her pain via there link and it was so unbearable. The Doctor's vision was swimming and he had to grab onto one of the Pig men to hold himself up right as he almost succumb to the pain his wife was being put through. As the Doctor continued to watch his wife as she was tortured by the Daleks. His own pain was present in his hearts as she finally pasted out from the pain, her body falling limply to the table, the rest of the wires being forced into her small body.
"Open the conductor plan." Dalek Sec stated after all of the Machinery had be brought up to it full potential. All the machines that needed lights were blearing with brightness, lights flashing, sounds being emitted as they grabbed all the energy that Rose was providing. But the Doctor couldn't concentrate. He simply looked at the unconscious form of his wife who was lying motionless on the table in front of him. He didn't realise his was moving until he found his form standing in front of Rose. His hearts beating in his chest, a lump in his throat as he looked down at the beauty in front of him. Her skin suddenly returning to a deathly white as the energy she was providing only allowed herself to have minimum amounts as possible. He had walked numbly towards her and he had no idea how to feel again as she had cruelly been taken away from him, he had only been with her for a short amount of time and he was devastated he was going to have to wait an extensive amount of time before he would see her again. He placed his hand to her cheek and didn't recognize the fact he was crying until he felt the single tear travel down his cheek.
Martha had figured out where she needed to go. The Dalekanium was present on the top of the Empire State Building. The Doctor was counting on her and she wasn't going to stop now. She wanted to gain his respect again, she wanted to prove her worth because she loved the Doctor and she was not going to stop fighting for what her heart wanted evenif a stupid blonde had walked on to the scene.
The Doctor could do nothing to help Rose. He had to continue with working with The Daleks because if he didn't he knew Rose would suffer the consequences. Sec was showing him there animated and graphic plans on one of their screens which was hanging above Roses limp form.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Empire State Building. We're right underneath that. I worked that out already, thanks. But what, you hijacked the whole building?" The Doctor questioned, his hands in his suit jackets pocket while his coat was hanging limply behind him, the Daleks doing their jobs behind him.
"We needed an energy conductor." Sec assured as he spoke over to the Doctor. His eye wide while the Doctor was looking on in confusion
"What for?" The Doctor questioned.
"I…am the genetic template. My altered DNA was to be administered to each human body. A strong enough blast of gamma radiation can splice the Dalek and human genetic codes, causing our Computer to use her superior DNA, causing it to bring life and wake each body from its sleep." Sec stated.
"But that's going to cause her a great deal of pain!" The Doctor said dejected just thinking about the pain his dearly loved was going to have to go through. "And where the hell are you going to find Gamma Radiation?" The Doctor ask bewildered as he tried to change the thoughts of Rose that were simmering around his head. But suddenly the screen showed the sun. The Doctor immediately knew what they were talking about.
"Oh, the sun. You're using the sun."
"Soon…the greatest solar flare for a thousand years will hit the Earth. Gamma radiation will be drawn to the energy conductor and when it strikes—" Sec explained, as the screen continued to use Rose's powers to show the Doctor there plan
"The army wakes. I still don't know what you need me for." The Doctor questioned, still staring at the computer
"Your genius." Sec commented, the Doctor's eyebrows raised, his eyes rolling slightly, not believing what he was hearing "Consider a pure Dalek; intelligent but emotionless." Sec finished
"Removing the emotions makes you stronger. That's what your creator thought all those years ago." The Doctor said in monotone, his voice even and not changing in pitch.
"He was wrong." The Doctor scoffed slightly
"He was what?"
"It makes us lesser than our enemies. We must return to the flesh." Sec argued, the other Daleks seemed to be questioning his leadership and were concerned about his last statement.
"And also…the heart."
"You wouldn't be the supreme beings anymore." The Doctor commented, shrugging his shoulders slightly as he turned to face Sec completely, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion
"And that is good."
"That is incorrect." An electric voice spoke up. The Doctor simply turned around, his hands being removed from his pockets
"Daleks are supreme."
"No, not anymore." Sec whispered
"But that is our purpose." The Daleks confirmed, arguing between themselves.
"Then our purpose is wrong! Where has our quest for supremacy led us? To this. Hiding in the sewers on a primitive world. Just four of us left. If we do not change now then we deserve extinction."
"So you want to change everything that makes a Dalek a Dalek." The Doctor commented, taken aback by the sudden change of events. Has Rose have something to do with this? She was the computer; she could have made the experiment faulty. Was this all her plan all along? Was she playing the Daleks? Keeping them in the Dark? Even if she was, boy was she clever.
"If…you can help me." Sec said, and all the Doctor could do was stare at him in miss belief.
Martha had decoded the message the Doctor had left her and now she was standing in the wooden, small service elevator of the Empire Stated Building. Martha was in the middle between Frank and Tallulah. Frank was holding his arms across his chest, still up set at the death of Solomon. His face holding a frown, while Tallulah was looking around curious at her surroundings, not really understanding how they had got passed the guards at the bottom of the building.
"I always wanted to go to the Empire State. Never imagined it quite like this, though." Martha commented nervously as she held the black wallet in between her hands which was being held at the top of her legs.
"Where are we headed anyway?" Frank asked as he turned his attention back towards Martha.
"To the top where they're still building." She alleged to him as she motioned with her hand upwards, towards the roof of the lift. Tallulah simply smiled excitedly
"How come those guys just let us through? How's that thing work?" Tallulah frowned, her hands motioning towards the Psychic paper that was in her hands. Frank looking down at the simple, blank sheet of paper.
"Psychic paper. Shows them whatever I want them to think. According to this, we're two engineers and an architect." Martha believed while shrugging her shoulders and passing it towards Frank who was holding out his hand to get a better look at it. A look of fascination was on his face when he flipped the empty paper over and over in his hands.
Frank took the psychic paper and fliped the empty paper over in his hands
"Your knowledge of genetic engineering is even greater than ours. The new race must be ready by the time the solar flare erupts." Sec stated as he guided the Doctor back through the lab and to the side of the body that was in front of them. The Doctor was still frowning
"But you're the template. I thought they were getting a dose of you." The Doctor asked, while he was standing at the head of the empty human shell. Sec was simply moving his limbs bizarrely as he tried to get used to the feel of his new body.
"I want to change the gene sequence." Sec said over to the Doctor, through the wires that were hanging from the ceiling.
"To make them even more human?" The Doctor scoffed as he raised his eyebrows.
"Humans are the great survivors. We need that ability." Sec admired as he stroked the face of the man in front of him with his disfigured claw like hand.
"Hold on a minute. There's no way this lot are gonna let you do it." The Doctor chimed as he pulled his right hand from his pocket and poked his thumb towards the other Daleks who were watching the small conversation with interest.
"I am their leader." He stated
"Oh, and that's enough for you, is it?" The Doctor said loudly as he turned to face them
"Daleks must follow orders."
"Dalek Sec commands, we obey."
"If you don't help me…nothing will change." Sec said, the Doctor paying his attention to the hybrid, swinging his torso around to get a better look at him
"There's no room on Earth for another race of people." He complained, his eyebrows lifted high on his forehead, hands still in his pockets
"You have your TARDIS. Take us across the stars. Find us a new home and allow the new Daleks to start again." Sec said as he moved to stand between the 3 Daleks, his hands raised at his sides
"When's that solar flare?" The Doctor asked, removing the thoughts of what could happen to Rose in the process. His eyebrows frowned as he thought this plan through his head
"Eleven minutes." Sec muttered
"Right then. Better get to work." The Doctor chimed, his eyebrows moving up to his forehead, shrugging his shoulders before striding from his spot and further into the Lab.
Martha and her group had finally emerged from the service elevator and entered the top floor. The room that Diagoras must have been using as his office due to pens and papers littering the desks and the floors. Tallulah was walking around in circles as she looked at the impressive in full structure. All the while Frank was walking in slowly, taking in the sites on his own. Martha looking for something the Doctor would be.
"Look at this pace. Top of the world." Tallulah said amazed, but Martha was pulled from her thoughts when she could see the architectural plans of the building.
"Okay, now this looks good." She muttered as she strode over to the plans and began flickering between the pages while Frank walked over and joined her, him covering half her body while leaning around the other side to get a look at the plans. But suddenly Frank noticed something and pointed it out to Martha with his fingers
"Hey, look at the date. These designs were issued today. They must've changed something last minute."
"You mean the Daleks changed something?" Martha asked him as she lifted the top sheet of paper to see the previous date
"Yeah, could be." Frank whispered, his eyes staring intently at the plans in front of him
"The ones underneath, they're from before. That means that whatever they changed must be on this top sheet but not this one. We need to check one against the other." Martha stated as she begun to unclip the sheets of paper and compare the drawings.
"The height of this place! This is amazing!" Tallulah said, completely oblivious to the young peoples conversation
"Careful, we're a hundred floors up. Don't go wandering off." Martha complained, looking over Frank to look at Tallulah
"I just wanna see." She smiled; Frank simply shook his head and looked back down towards the plans. Tallulah walked into the open area which was overlooking the city. Her coat and hair blowing in the wind while her eyes were wide in amazement. Lights were flashing as she took in the most beautiful sigh she had ever seen.
"New York City. If aliens had to come to Earth, no wonder they came here." She whispered, completely blown away.
