"Doctor, you made your point," Colton raised a hand. "Suppose at the end of the day, there are things we cannot change."

"Good," the Doctor nodded. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Where are they, the scientists?" Colton asked. The Doctor answered, "In my TARDIS."

"Hm, suppose they can't cause any problems in it?" Colton continued. The Doctor gave a light chuckle. "No, even if they fiddled with every switch, the TARDIS won't go anywhere," he replied.

"Doctor!" called a voice. The Doctor turned his head. Barging into the observatory was Sherlock and the others. "Frankie, after some deliberation, we came to a unanimous vote," Leon took a deep breath. Callan nodded. "We were wrong to want to kill them, Frank. They suffered enough," Joseph added. Sherlock took a deep breath. He then explained to Colton, "Frank, Sofia wanted you all here. She wanted you to capture the scientists that she couldn't get. She wanted you to capture her."

"It's true, Frank, she wanted to kill everyone here," Beth nodded. She then added, "Even if she had to sacrifice her daughter to do it."

"She died only because of her head injury, but it was too late, she already set off the cascade," Sherlock huffed. Colton looked at them with wide eyes. His and theirs arch enemy, Sofia Lamb, used them to collect the rest of the scientists. Why else was it so easy to round her and everyone else up. She used her own daughter to get close enough to set off a trap. Now Colton understood everything.

"Everyone," Colton looked at Beth and the others. "The Doctor had convinced me to change my mind. The scientists are not our enemies anymore."

"Oh, Frank," Beth wrapped her arms around him, planting firm kisses. Colton embraced her and smiled. Leon looked around nervously, "Okay, that's out of the way. Let's get the hell out of here."

"I concur, Leon," Colton looked at him as Beth rested her head on his chest.

Sherlock met with the Doctor who gave a smile. The Doctor shrugged, "I'm not a professional negotiator. I just winged it."

"You should come help me solve some of my cases," Sherlock grinned. The Doctor chuckled. "Wouldn't be much of a Great Detective if you needed a bloke like me," he mustered. Sherlock smirked. "Well, what about John?" he asked. The Doctor replied, "He's your day planner from what I hear."

Celia appeared before them.

"Mama, the Betas have escaped the water treatment!" she cried out. Beth flinched. "What do you mean?" she asked. Celia explained, "Betas 45-50 are still active. They are coming here as we speak."

"Good god, I thought I had them!" Sherlock hissed. The Doctor looked at him. He said, "What happened?"

"Celia had me lure them through the water treatment facility. The idea was to electrocute them. I didn't expect any of them to still work," Sherlock groaned.

"Celia, where are they currently?" Colton stepped forward. Celia replied with, "They're attacking the barricades."

"The barricades were never meant to handle the Betas," Beth covered her mouth. Leon cursed under his breath. Joseph looked around nervously. Callan looked at the ground.

"Doctor, where is your TARDIS?" Colton looked at him. The Doctor replied, "Where you kept the scientists."

"Can't you bring it to us?" Beth asked. The Doctor grabbed for his trusty Sonic Screwdriver and hit the button. He waited for the TARDIS to materialize before them but it never came. The Doctor continuously hit the button, again, the TARDIS never showed. "I don't understand," the Doctor was baffled. Celia said to him, "The Betas are inferring with everything."

"How come they haven't interfered with you yet?" Sherlock asked. Celia replied, "Mama switched me to a remote location. They can't shut me off or interfere with my programming."

"Why haven't they done this before?" the Doctor wondered. Celia continued. "When Betas are attacked, the modules in their chest areas turn on, sending waves of interference. It was meant to keep any who attacked from escaping or contacting outside help, Cybermen or human," she mournfully said.

"What happened to the control rod?" Joseph asked Sherlock. Sherlock sighed. "I dropped it," he said. Joseph cursed. Callan then said, "Not that it matters. Once they start to cause interference, they couldn't be controlled."

"Alright, alright, we can get through this, we're professionals," Leon paced around the room. He rubbed his forehead that was coated in sweat. "Ah, what's the plan?"

"The TARDIS can't come to us, so we have to come to it," the Doctor summed. Then Sherlock added, "We'll have to be sly to get to it."

Celia warned them, "The Betas have broken through the barricades. They're cutting the power!"

"Ah, Beth you gotta get to the TARDIS first!" Leon looked at her. "Celia, get her to the TARDIS!"

"Leo's right, you have to get to it!" Joseph nodded. Callan eyed her, "Beth, tell him."

"Tell me what?" Colton was confused. Beth looked up to him. "Frank, I've wanted to tell you. But these events have kept me from telling you. Frank, I'm pregnant."

Colton's face slowly changed. It changed to the only expression a man would have when he hears for the first time that he will become a father. Colton looked at Beth, his silver eyes looking up and down her figure. "You should've told me," he muttered. Beth chewed on her lips. "I know," she only said. Colton nodded. He said to Celia, "Celia, take her to the TARDIS as safely and quickly as you can. Then remain with her until we get there, understood?"

"Understood," Celia nodded. Beth hugged Colton. "Please, don't get hurt," she said to him. Colton chuckled, "It'll take more than a few Betas to hurt me."

Beth unraveled her arms from him and ran with Celia out of the observatory. Colton looked at the others. "When they're not attacked, they can't see shit in the darkness. When they've been attacked, then their night mode kicks in. Gentlemen, we have to tread carefully now," he said. The Doctor then said, "I can't use my Sonic Screwdriver with the interference. If there was a way to stop the broadcast, then I might be able to."

"I'm aware they're attracted to sounds, would a gunshot attract them?" Sherlock asked. Leon nodded. "Yeah, that was always their problem. They couldn't distinguish sounds worth a damn," he said to Sherlock. Callan said, "Human voices, machine sounds, it doesn't matter."

"They'll come when they hear anything," Joseph summed. Colton rubbed his chin as he added, "And with their alternative protocols, they'll kill whoever or whatever's making the sound."

Then the power had gone out. Not even the emergency lights came on. Pure darkness, they were in.

"Doctor, is it a good chance that the interference won't allow the TARDIS to operate?" Colton quickly asked. The Doctor pondered. It wouldn't be the first time. If his Sonic Screwdriver couldn't bring it to them, then it meant it wasn't going anywhere period. "We need to stop the Betas," the Doctor rubbed his nose. Leon then mentioned, "They'll find the TARDIS, Doc. They're going to check every room. And when they find the TARDIS, they'll attempt to either destroy it or brute force their way in."

"Then we'll have to be quick," Colton said. He glanced at the Doctor and Sherlock, "Got any plans?"

"We have plenty," they nodded. Colton then said, "Good, walk us through them."
