"Doctor, what's going on?" the scientists looked at him. The Doctor was at a loss himself. He went to the console of the TARDIS and saw that there was a breach and Utopia was slowly losing stability. Within a short few hours, it would be destabilized and the weight of the building pressure will crush the dome. The Doctor blinked, he had no idea what to say.
He was then pulled away from his thoughts when Celia appeared in the TARDIS, piggybacking. "Doctor, something went wrong," Celia told him. "The Betas breached Utopia!"
"Damn," the Doctor cursed as his mind raced. His mind fettered with thoughts, some with him and Sherlock and the others dying horribly. He spun around the TARDIS trying to come up with an idea. He had to be quick about it, no delaying. He had to save them all. There had to be a way, there was always a way. He had to do something.
"Celia," the Doctor looked at her. "Where's Frank?"
"In in the observatory," Celia said to him. The Doctor nodded, "I have to talk to him."
"But Doctor," cried one of the scientists. "He'll try to kill you!"
"I met him once before," the Doctor explained to them as he looked at each and every face. "I knew him when he was still Delta."
"Then you know how dangerous he is," another scientists pointed out. While this was true to an extent the Doctor couldn't be picky about how things worked. He had to talk to Frank one way or another. And it had to be now.
"I have to talk to him, man to man," the Doctor continued. "It's the only way for any of us to have a shot."
"Oh yeah, a shot, each in our heads," a scientist balked. He was scorned by the other scientists. The Doctor then asked them, "Did Sofia have a failsafe implemented?"
"Well, of course, for the event the Cybermen invaded," one of the scientists mentioned. Another quickly piped up with, "But it could only be tripped by Sofia herself."
"Wait a minute," a scientist quickly blinked. "That Whore of Babylon! She set us up!"
"What?" the scientists looked at him confusingly. He nodded as he rapidly said, "She wanted us to be captured!"
"Oh my god, she set us up!" the scientists cried out. The Doctor looked at them, confused. He asked them, "What are you talking about?"
"We were hidden, Doctor, far from the eyes of the law and them. Then suddenly, we were all caroled like cattle by the Subjects and brought here, Sofia too. Sofia wanted us all here," the scientist explained. "She must've of tripped the security measure before she and Emma were taken."
"Oh my god," the scientists murmured. "She wanted us dead, why?"
"A cover up, perhaps," the Doctor gestured. He then remembered the audio tapes he and Sherlock found prior. Given the timestamp and everything that happened, he shuddered when he realized a horrible fact. Sofia truly didn't care. She purposely let Emma's body be taken by Beth just so she could trip the measure. She wanted this. She wanted them all dead. Guilt wasn't something the Doctor wanted to say, but the fact was, Sofia was truly a despicable being. "She wanted to kill you all."
"Why would she want us dead now?" a scientist cried out. "We were in hiding for decades; we didn't say anything to anyone about what happened here."
"No, because of the escape," the Doctor whispered as the color drained from his face. "She knew eventually they'd come back here and knew they'd be looking for you."
"So you're saying Sofia planned this from the start?" a scientist croaked. The Doctor nodded and the scientists began to huddle close together. The Doctor could tell they were scared and confused. Sofia was their employer and suddenly it all started making sense that in the ugly end, the Subjects weren't the real enemies after all. Sofia in life was a cruel woman and in death she planned to take everyone who had knowledge of Utopia with her. They now had no other choice but to listen to the Doctor.
"I need to talk to Frank," the Doctor said to them. "And I need you to trust me. I need to talk to him and get this worked out. Please, trust me, I'm the Doctor."
The scientists agreed and the Doctor looked at Celia, "What's the status?"
"The breach has flooded the treatment facility," Celia answered. The Doctor nodded before asking, "What about Sherlock?"
"He escaped through the emergency shaft," Celia continued. The Doctor sighed and slowly nodded. He said to her, "Alright, keep a close eye on things."
He looked at the scientists before saying, "Wish me luck."
The Doctor wished the same for Sherlock.
