Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who that goes to the BBC
On the other space ship, the robots were escorting the Doctor, Jack, Rory and Brain to a gate barring the entrance of the ship before the Doctor leaned forward.
"Love what you've done with the place down here," the Doctor said as he heard piano music playing softly through the gate.
"Let him in," they heard the voice of an elderly man order the robots, "Open the gate."
One of the robots pressed a button on a wall next to the gate, causing it to slide open before the Doctor walked through the gate with it closing behind him.
"It's fine," the Doctor assured Jack, Rory and Brian as he looked back at them, "It's fine."
"You know, I've always had a thing for shiny metal," Jack told the robots with a smirk on his face.
"He's not interested in you," the first robot told them.
"Look, you need to learn some manners," Rory stated as he looked at the first robot and pointed his right hand's index finger at him for a second.
"No, you need to learn some manners!" The first robot argued as he looked at the nurse.
"No, you do!" Rory told the first robot.
"I think we're going to get along just fine," Jack muttered as he laughed.
"No, you do, Mr. Manners," the second robot told Rory.
"Fantasia in F Minor for four hands," the Doctor stated as he walked through the room and made his way to what looked like an infirmary with a bed in the room, which had an elderly man with light skin, blue eyes and grey hair lying on the bed as there were cobwebs draped over machinery around him that looked like it was a life support system.
"You know it," the man realised as he stared at the Time Lord.
"Know it? Say hello to hands three and four," the Doctor told him as he made gestures with his hands, "Schubert kept tickling me to try and put me off. Franz the Hands. Oh, that takes me back before I reunited with my wife. Well, this is... cosy."
"It's fate you came," the man said as the Doctor walked around him.
"Is it?" The Doctor asked him as he clapped his hands together, "I'm the Doctor."
"Yes, I know," the man told him before introducing himself to the Time Lord, "I'm Solomon." The computer around them suddenly beeped as the Doctor was scanned by a blue light from it.
"What's that?" The Doctor asked him.
"System malfunction," Solomon answered, "Ignore it."
"What happened to you?" The Doctor asked Solomon as he looked at his body.
"I was attacked. Three raptors. They cornered me," Solomon answered, "The robots rescued me, but it was nearly too late."
"Ah, yes. The robots," the Doctor muttered before he turned back around towards him, "They're...unusual."
"I got them cheap. From a concession on Aluria Seven," Solomon explained, "The robots did as best they could with my legs, but... you can help me so much more."
"Oh, a doctor, doctor. I see," the Doctor realised before he breathed on his hands and rubbed them together for a second, "Let's have a look." He then lifted the material away from the wounds from his legs.
"They chewed through part of the bone in my legs," Solomon stated.
"Yes, very nasty," the Doctor muttered as he stared at Solomon's wounds.
"But you can repair them?" Solomon asked the Time Lord.
"If you tell me how you came by so many dinosaurs," the Doctor asked as he looked at him.
"Injure the older one," Solomon ordered his robots.
"What?" The Doctor said with shock in his voice as he ran back towards the gate.
One of the robots then suddenly shot Brian in his right arm, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Dad! Dad…" Rory said with worry in his voice as he went to his father, "It's all right, Dad, it's Okay, it's Okay."
"You're going to pay for that," Jack told the robots, angrily as he looked at them as he went over to his grandfather-in-law as well.
"I don't respond well to violence, Solomon," the Doctor told Solomon as he walked back over to him.
"And I don't like questions, Doctor," Solomon retorted, "You boarded without my permission. Now, fix me or the next bolt will be fatal."
"I will take you apart cog by cog, and melt you down when all this is over," Rory told the robots, angrily as he looked at them and pointed his right hand's index finger at them.
"And I'll be right there with him," Jack added with a smirk on his face as he stared at the robots as well.
"Oh, I'm so scared!" The first robot retorted, sarcastically as he held his hands at them, "Actually, I might be. A little bit of oil just came out."
"Stay still," Rory urged his father as he applied a pressure bandage to his right shoulder, "It's just a burn, it's nothing serious."
"What's that?" Brian asked Rory as he watched him take items out from his pocket.
"While you carry a trowel, I carry a medpack," Rory told him, "It's all about the pockets in our family. This is an ice patch. It cools the skin."
"Never seen one of those," Brian said as he looked at Rory's medpack.
"I look out for cool stuff wherever we go. Some people it's cars and hardware, for me it is nursing supplies," Rory told him before he applied the ice patch to his father's left shoulder, "Now...painkiller. Now, this won't hurt." He then jabbed a needle in his left shoulder.
"Ow!" Brian complained.
"I lied," Rory told him, "It won't hurt from now on, though. All right. You're done."
"Thanks," Brian said as he put his shirt back on.
"Good job, Rory," Jack muttered, sincerely as he looked at his father-in-law, "You've got a knack for this."
"That's all right," Rory told his father, "You get to see my awesome nursing skills in action for once."
"What's that?" The second robot asked as he suddenly heard Jack's phone ringing.
"Your phone's ringing," Brian told his grandson-in-law with surprise in his voice, "In space?"
"Well, it may have been made into what Rose likes to call a superphone back when he travelled with her and the Doctor more regularly," Rory explained, "And besides, he's from the 51st century, he may have technology from his time that allows him to use phones while in space."
"Well, I'd better take this," Jack said as he pulled out his phone with his right hand and smiled as he saw Rose's name on it, "It's from Rose. She and the others may have discovered something important." He then answered his phone and put it up to his right ear, "What is it, Rose?"
"Jack, where are you, my husband, Rory and Brian?" Rose asked Jack with her phone as she held it up to her right ear as she, Amy, Nefertiti and Riddell were in the lab of the Silurian Ark.
"Still on board, Rose," Jack answered, "Met some pterodactyls and some rusty robots. Don't worry, I've got it under control."
"Jack, this is a Silurian ship," Rose told the ex-Time Agent.
"How did you get on board, Doctor?" Solomon asked the Doctor as the Time Lord held some surgical tools in both of his hands.
"Oh, I never talk about myself with a gun pointed at me," the Doctor told him, "Let's talk about you. Your cosy little craft embedded in a vast, old ship."
"Very observant," Solomon stated as the Doctor began to work on his legs.
"I'm a Sagittarius," the Doctor told him, "Probably."
"I'm transporting it to the Roxbourne Peninsula," Solomon explained.
"The commerce colony. You're a trader," the Doctor realised.
"I search out opportunities for profit across the nine galaxies," Solomon told him.
"Ah, the purple light. That's what it was," the Doctor said as he checked a computer in front of him, "An IV system, identifying value, the database of everything across space and time, allocated a market value. Argos for the universe. You were trying to find out how much I'm worth."
"Would you like to know?" Solomon asked the Time Lord.
They both then looked at the computer screen as it processed the information of the Doctor before it responded with the words 'No Identification Found.'
"You don't exist," Solomon said with disbelief in his voice, "It's never done that."
"That's me. Worthless. And if you think there's an error, you should try the Inforarium and look up 'The Doctor' and 'Rose Smith.' You might find it… enlightening," the Doctor told him, "But anyways, unlike these creatures you have on board. Very valuable... given they're extinct." The device in his right hand and stabbed it into his right leg as it whirred, causing Solomon to groan in pain, "Done, sit up. Very slowly." The Doctor then helped Solomon sit.
"Doctor! Rose wants to speak to you," Jack told the Doctor as he came up to the gate and held his phone out to the Time Lord with his right hand.
"I need to take this," the Doctor said as he walked away from the trader and grabbed the phone from Jack, "What is it, Love?"
"This is an ark, built by the Silurians," Rose told her husband, "They were looking for another planet."
"Where are they now?" The Doctor asked her.
"None on board. I mean, thousands of stasis pods, all empty," Rose answered, "It's like they vanished into thin air."
"I'll see you soon," the Doctor told her as he looked at Solomon.
"Can't wait, Doctor," Rose replied with a smile on her face.
"Be ready," the Doctor whispered to the ex-Time Agent as he ended the call and gave Jack back his phone through the gate before he nodded a response. .
"The pain in my legs," Solomon said as the Doctor returned to Solomon, who was now standing with the use of a cane, "It's gone. I can move them. Thank you, Doctor."
"What did you do to the Silurians?" The Doctor asked him.
"We ejected them," Solomon answered, "The robots woke them from cryo-sleep a handful at a time, and jettisoned them from the airlocks. We must have left a trail of dust and bone."
"Because you wanted the dinosaurs," the Doctor muttered as he closed his eyes for a second and shook his head.
"Their ship crossed my path. I sent out a distress signal. They let me board. But when I saw the cargo, things became more complex," Solomon explained as the Doctor sat down nearby in a dejected manner.
"Piracy and then genocide," the Doctor said with disgust in his voice.
"Very emotive words, Doctor," Solomon told the Time Lord.
"Oh, I'm a very emotive man," the Doctor stated, "And my wife is the same way."
"The lizards wouldn't negotiate," Solomon told him, "I made them a generous offer."
"The creatures on board this ship are not objects to be sold or traded" the Doctor stated as he stared at him.
"I feel like you're judging me," Solomon told the Time Lord.
"You said Roxbourne Peninsula, so why are you heading to Earth?" The Doctor asked the trader, "You're on the wrong course. Oh. You don't know how." He then realised why the Silurian Ark was heading back towards Earth, "Ha! Brilliant. You couldn't change the pre-programmed course. Without instructions, the ship defaulted, returned home. Oh, dear. The Silurians outwitted you, even after you'd massacred them. So now you're a prisoner on the ship that you hijacked."
"Not now you're here," Solomon argued, "You're going to help me to where I want to go, Doctor."
"Little bit of news, Solomon. You're being targeted by missiles," the Doctor told him, "Get off this ship…" He then stood back up, "While you still can."
"You think I believe that?" Solomon asked the Doctor as the Time Lord walked away from him, "You and your wife just want them for yourselves. You and her won't profit from me, Doctor."
"Don't ever judge me and Rose by your standards," the Doctor told the trader as he stopped walking as he approached the gate and pulled out his sonic screwdriver and used it on the gate, causing it to slide open, "Well, don't just stand there, Jack, Rory!" He then looked at the robots and pointed at them with his index fingers, "Hey, he wants to see you."
"Dad, up!" Rory ordered his father as the Doctor began to leave the area before Brian stood back up.
"You heard him, let's go," Jack said, agreeing with the Doctor as he, Rory and Brian followed the Time Lord.
As the Doctor, Jack, Rory and Brian reentered the Silurian Ark and one of its corridors, the Doctor hurried down the corridor and skidded to a stop when he saw the same triceratops from before.
"What're we doing?" Brian asked the Time Lord.
"Just do exactly as I do!" the Doctor told him as he ran towards Tricey.
"Doctor, no!" Rory said as he watched the Doctor continue to run towards the triceratops.
"Geronimo!" The Doctor exclaimed as he ran up some stacked crates next to the dinosaur and leaped onto the back of Tricey, causing her to roar before he waved his right arm for the others to follow him.
"Well, this is new," Jack muttered as he smiled before he followed the Doctor towards the dinosaur as Rory and Brian looked at each other for a second before following them onto the triceratops as well before they climbed onto the dinosaur behind the Doctor and Jack.
"Go, Tricey! Run like the wind!" The Doctor ordered Tricey as he pointed his right hand's index finger forward for a second before lowering his right arm, only for the triceratops to snort and bellow as it didn't move when laser bolts from Solomon's robots were suddenly fired at them, causing the Time Lord and the three humans to duck as the robots caught up to them, "Quick, how do you start a triceratops?!"
"There they are," the first robot told the other robot.
"I know!" The other robot replied, "I saw them before you."
"Hang on a minute," Brian said as the Doctor tried to get Tricey to move as he pulled out another golf ball from his pockets with his right hand, "Tricey, fetch!" He then threw the golf ball forwards.
"Ha-ha! That-a-boy! Yee-hah!" The Doctor yelled, happily as the triceratops chased after Brian's golf ball, "Come on, Tricey! Woo-hoo!"
"Never thought I'd see the day that I would be riding a dinosaur in space!" Jack laughed as the triceratops continued to chase after Brian's golf ball.
"They've stolen a dinosaur!" The first robot told the other robot.
"I can see that," the other robot stated as they continued to fire their lasers at the Time Lord, three humans and triceratops.
"Come on, Tricey! Faster than that!" The Doctor urged the triceratops as Brian's golf ball ricocheted off a wall in the distance ahead of them before the dinosaur turned around the corner, "Whoa!
"They're turning off!" The first robot stated as they began to lose sight of the Doctor, Jack, Rory and Brian, "We're losing them!"
"Which way did they go?" The other robot asked him.
"I thought you were looking," the first robot told him.
"No, now they've got away," the other robot stated as they lost sight of the Time Lord and three humans.
"We definitely used to be faster," the first robot muttered to himself.
"I'm riding a dinosaur! On a spaceship!" Brian cried, happily.
"I know!" Rory said, agreeing with his father.
"I only came round to fix your light!" Brian added.
"Come on, Tricey!" The Doctor urged the dinosaur.
"You heard him, come on!" Jack told Tricey, agreeing with the Time Lord before the corridor came to an end ahead of them with the dinosaur not seeming to be stopping.
"Where are the brakes?!" The Doctor asked them as he saw the wall of the edge of the corridor ahead of them before they shouted as the triceratops stopped, causing them to fall off.
As they fell off of the dinosaur's back and laid on the floor, Tricey trotted up to them and dropped the ball in front of Rory before it moved away and sat down as they all stood back up.
"Good, that worked! Okay," the Doctor said as he looked around the area, "Where are we now? Ooh." He then spotted a screen nearby, "Incoming message from Earth. Hello, Earth! How are things?"
"Doctor, the ship's coming through the atmosphere," Indira reported to the Time Lord as she appeared from the screen, "I have to start the missile programme."
"No. No, no, no, don't do that," the Doctor pleaded with her, "Everything's under control here, turning round any moment. Need a bit of wriggle room on the timings."
"I can't do that," Indira told him.
"You can. Of course you can!" The Doctor argued, "Tiny bit more time. Indira, please. This ship contains the most precious cargo."
"My only responsibility is the Earth's safety," Indira told him, "I'm launching the missiles. Goodbye, Doctor."
"No Indira!" The Doctor pleaded with her as she disconnected her connection with the ship, "Hey, come back! Please!"
"Now, these are what we need," Riddell said as he opened a cabinet within the Silurian Ark's lab and grabbed a rifle from it and saw a few more rifles within the cabinet and grabbed them, "Dinosaur protection." He then grabbed the rifles' magazines from underneath them with his hands.
"No weapons," Amy told him as she took one of the rifles from him as he handed her one of the magazines, "Anaesthetic? These are stun guns. You're almost clever."
"Enough to make a dinosaur take a nap," Riddell explained, "Even the Doctor couldn't object to that. And I don't think you would either, Rose."
"You're right, Riddell, we wouldn't object to using them," Rose said, agreeing with him as she picked up one of the rifles and inspected it, "And they're just what we need. Non-lethal, but they'll buy us some time."
"And, Rose, You are the Doctor's queen?" Nefertiti asked the Time Lady, "Am I right, considering how much I've seen how you two act to each other?"
"Yeah, I am," Rose answered.
"And you, Amy, you said you were a queen," Nefertiti recalled, "The queen of who exactly?"
"I'm Rory's queen," Amy answered, "Wife. I'm his wife. Please don't tell him I said I was his queen. I'll never hear the end of it. But why exactly are you asking about 'queens'? I thought you had a husband."
"A male equivalent of a sleeping potion," Nefertiti stated.
"You clearly need a man of action and excitement," Riddell flirted with her, "One with a very large weapon." He then cocked his rifle and began to head for the door.
"So, human sleeping potion or walking innuendo," Amy said as she looked at the Egyptian queen, "Take your pick."
"Definitely," Rose muttered as she also looked at her as the three women shared a smile as on the computer's screen they saw the Doctor, Jack, Rory and Brian in one of the ship's corridors.
"That's very bad indeed," the Doctor stated as Riddell walked back over to them and the computer screen, "Completely unhelpful."
"Doesn't this ship have any defence systems installed?" Rory asked as ke was peering at a computer in the ship's corridor as the Doctor was pacing behind him.
"Good thinking, Rory!" The Doctor said, happily before he kissed Rory on the mouth for a split second before he turned towards the computer, "Computer, show us weapon and defence systems." The computer then showed the words 'No Systems Available' on it, "Well, that was a waste of time, wasn't it?" He then slapped Rory on the face with his hands, "Getting my hopes up like that."
"What ship doesn't have weapons?" Rory asked with disbelief in his voice.
"The ancient species were always so full of hope," the Doctor explained.
"And from what I heard, the Time Lords were like that for a long time before the Time War," Jack added as he nodded his head, "They never wanted to interfere, only to watch. The Doctor and Rose once told me and Martha that once the Master became the Prime Minister of Britain under the name of 'Harold Saxon' in 2008."
"What about the control deck?" Brian asked them, "You said we should go to the control deck next."
"It's too late," the Doctor said as he walked away from the computer and towards him, "It won't make any difference."
"We could at least try," Rory told him.
"We could at least try, Doctor," Jack said as he walked towards the Time Lord, "There's always a way."
"It won't work," the Doctor told them, "The missiles are locked on."
"So, what? We're just giving up?" Rory asked him.
"I don't know," the Doctor told him, "I don't know!"
Just as he said that, they heard a flash of light as Solomon appeared in front of them with his robots through one of the ship's teleports.
"You were telling the truth, Doctor," Solomon told the Time Lord, "Earth has launched missiles. This vessel is too clumsy to outrun them, but I have my own ship."
"You won't get your precious cargo on board, though," the Doctor stated as he pointed his right hand's index finger at him for a second, "It'll just be you and your metal tantrum machines."
"We do not have tantrums!" The first robot argued.
"Shut up!" Solomon told him before he walked up to the Doctor with his cane, "You're right, Doctor. I can't keep the dinosaurs and live myself. But I had the IV system scan the entire ship and it found something even more valuable. Utterly unique. I don't know where you found it or how you got it here, but I want it."
"I don't know what you're talking about," the Doctor said with confusion in his voice.
"Earth Queen Nefertiti of Egypt," Solomon explained.
"A face stamped across history," Solomon went on from the computer screen in the ship's lab as Rose, Amy, Nefertiti and Riddell watched the exchange with Riddell placing his right hand over his hip.
"Give her to me and I'll let the rest of you live," Solomon demanded the Time Lord.
"No," the Doctor whispered as he leaned in towards him.
"You think I won't punish those who get in my way?" Solomon asked him, "Whatever their worth?" Solomon then nodded towards his robots before one of them stepped forward and fired laser bolts at Tricey, causing her to roar in pain as the Doctor, Jack, Rory and Brian could only watch in horror.
Back in the lab, Riddell removed his stetson with his left hand as he, Rose, Amy and Nefertiti watched as the Doctor slowly walked towards Tricey from the computer screen.
Tricey groaned slowly as the Doctor kneeled beside her and stroked the triceratops as it passed away before he stood back up and slowly clapped his hands as he walked back towards Solomon.
"You must be very proud," the Doctor told the trader as he held back his anger towards him.
"Bring her to me or the robots will make their way through your corpses," Solomon demanded the Time Lord, "Bring her now."
"No," the Doctor refused when suddenly there was a flash of light behind them, causing him, Jack, Rory and Brian to turn around and saw Rose, Amy, Nefertiti and Riddell standing behind them as they used the ship's teleporter to teleport into the corridor before he whispered to the Egyptian queen, "What are you doing?"
"I demanded to be brought here," Nefertiti answered as she walked forward.
"No, no, no, no," the Doctor said as he grabbed her left arm with his right hand, "No way."
"It isn't your choice, Doctor," the Egyptian queen told him, "It's mine."
"Listen to me, if you go with him, I can't guarantee your safety," the Doctor stated as he stared at her.
"You and Rose both saved my people," Nefertiti reminded the Time Lord, "I am in your and her debt."
"No. No debts, you don't owe us anything," the Doctor told her.
"Then I do it of my own will," Nefertiti stated as she began walking towards Solomon.
"Nefi! Nefi!" The Doctor called out to the Egyptian queen.
"Theta, remember, history says that Nefertiti mysteriously disappeared," Rose reminded her husband in a whisper-sounding tone as she walked towards him, "Maybe this is how it happened."
The Doctor turned to look at her with a mixture of emotions playing on his face as the Egyptian queen continued to walk towards the trader.
"No!" Riddell yelled as he cocked his rifle and aimed it at Solomon, "Take her, I shoot you."
"Put your weapon down," Nefertiti ordered Riddell as she held her left arm out towards him to keep him back, "Let me make my choice."
"Do it, boy," Solomon urged Riddell as one of his robots stepped forward, causing Riddell to lower his rifle, "My bounty increases. And what an extraordinary bounty you are." He then reached out to touch Nefertiti with his left hand.
"Never touch me," Nefertiti ordered the trader as she shoved his left hand away with her right hand, causing him to push her against the wall with the sharp edge of his cane pressing against her throat.
"I like my possessions to have spirit. It means I can have fun breaking them," Solomon told her before she pushed his cane away from her neck as he lowered it to the floor, "And I will break you in, with immense pleasure." He then looked at the Time Lord, "Thank you, Doctor. Computer, take us back to my ship."
Then suddenly with a flash, Solomon, Nefertiti and his robots were teleported away before the ship's alarms began to go off.
"Hostile targeting in progress," they heard a feminine automated voice say over the ship's intercom, "Hostile targeting in progress. Hostile targeting in progress. Hostile targeting in progress. Hostile targeting in progress."
"Bingo," the Doctor muttered to himself as he stared at the ship's warning on the computer screen in front of them.
"What is it? Doctor?" Rory asked the Time Lord.
The seven of them were suddenly teleported to the control deck of the Silurian Ark with two piloting chairs covered in cobwebs facing each other in front of them, which had a small post between them.
"Okay, Control deck," the Doctor said as he removed the cap on the post and looked inside it as Riddell took position by the room's door.
"So, what's the plan?" Rory asked the Time Lord.
"Come on. The missiles are locked on to us, we can't outrun them, we have to save the dinosaurs and get Nefertiti back from Solomon," the Doctor answered, "Isn't it obvious?"
"It's sort of the opposite of obvious," Rory stated.
"You're thinking of turning the ship around, aren't you?" Rose asked her husband.
"17 minutes before the missiles hit," the Doctor added as he nodded a response at Rose, "We need to turn this ship around."
"You said it was too late, there wasn't any time," Rory reminded him as the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver on the inside of the post.
"Ah, yes, but I didn't have this plan then, did I?" The Doctor explained, Riddell? Jack? Keep an eye out for dinosaurs."
"I was rather hoping you'd say that," Riddell told the Time Lord as he handed a rifle to Jack.
"You got it, Doc," Jack replied with a smile on his face.
"No killing any," the Doctor added as he used his sonic screwdriver to magnetise Solomon's ship with the small post, "Rory, Brian, get rid of the cobwebs."
Riddell and Jack both stood in the doorway to the Control Deck as in the distance, they heard something trill and growl before they looked around and saw nothing until a raptor appeared in the distance, causing them to cock and aim their rifles at the dinosaur.
"Are you warning me, chap?" Riddell asked the raptor.
"I don't think it's a warning, Riddell," Jack told him as he narrowed his eyes, "It's a challenge."
They then heard another growl as a second raptor appeared on the other side of the corridor, causing Jack to swing his rifle at the other raptor before the first raptor growled again as more suddenly appeared behind it and joined it.
"Those teeth," Riddell muttered, "That's really not fair."
"You said it, Riddell," Jack said, agreeing with him.
"No, don't be like that! Really unhelpful," the Doctor said as he got back up from the floor in the ship's Control deck and slammed his right hand on the computer as he walked away from it.
"What's the matter?" Amy asked him.
"Parallel pilot compartments, bio-configured, needs two operators of the same gene chain. That's why Solomon couldn't change the ship's course and neither can we," the Doctor explained before Brian raised his right hand, "What?"
"We can," Brian told him, "Me and Rory. We must be the same gene thingy you just said."
"Of course!" Rose said as she slapped her forehead with her right hand for a second, "You are absolutely right."
"Brian Pond, you are delicious," the Doctor muttered as he walked over to Brian.
"I'm not a Pond," Brian told him.
"Course you are," the Doctor argued, "Sit down, both of you. Lickety-split. Ship does all the engineering, the controls are straightforward." Rory and Brian then took their seats, "Even a monkey could use them. Oh, look, they're going to. Guys, come on, comedy gold. Where's a Silurian audience when you need one? Anyway, two eyeline screens, velocity and trajectory. Steer away from Earth. Try not to bump into the moon, otherwise the races who live there will be livid."
"What?" Brian said with confusion in his voice.
"Don't worry, he's just being dramatic, there's no such thing as Moonites or anything that lives on the moon," Rose assured Brian as she smiled at him, "Just focus on the screens."
"Primary controls in the arms of the chairs. Principle's the same as any vehicle. Eight minutes, 45 seconds," the Doctor went on as Rose then stepped forward and pulled her sonic screwdriver out and used it on the chairs to activate them, "Get us as far away as you can." Rose then put her sonic screwdriver back inside her jacket's pocket as the Doctor looked into the post again, "Right. Phase two sorted. Now for phase one."
"No, phase two comes after phase one," Amy said with disbelief in her voice as she laughed and walked over to him.
"Humans, you're so linear," the Doctor muttered, "Shine a torch in here."
"What're you doing, Doctor?" Amy asked the Doctor as she kneeled and shone her torch inside the post.
"Mixing my messages," the Doctor muttered as he pulled out wires from the post, "How's the job?"
"We're about to be hit by missiles and you're asking me that?" Amy said with disbelief in her voice.
"I work best when I'm multitasking," the Doctor explained as he pulled out more wires with his left hand, "Keep talking. How's the job?"
"I… I gave it up," Amy answered.
"You gave the last one up," the Doctor told her.
"Yeah, well I can't settle. Every minute, I'm listening out for that stupid TARDIS sound," Amy stated as she stared at him.
"Right, so it's our fault now, is it?!" The Doctor asked her in irritation.
"I can't not wait for you both," Amy told both Gallifreyans, "Even now. And they're getting longer, the gaps between your visits."
"I've noticed," Rose said as she nodded her head, "We're trying to do better, Amy."
"Are they?" The Doctor asked Amy as he reached his left arm inside the post.
"I think you both are weaning us off you," Amy told them.
"We're not, I promise," the Doctor assured their ginger companion as he looked at her, "Really promise. The others, they're not you. But you and Rory, you have lives. Each other. I thought that's what we agreed."
"He's right, Amy," Rose said, agreeing with her husband, "Isn't that what we agreed?"
"I know" Amy muttered, "I just worry there'll come a time when you both never turn up, that something will have happened to the two of you and I'll still be waiting, never knowing."
"We'll always come back, Amy," Rose assured her, "You're like family to us."
"No! Come on, Pond," the Doctor said as he kissed the top of Amy's head, "You'll be there till the end of us."
"Or vice versa," Amy added before the Doctor and Rose both looked at her, knowing that was a possibility as Amy looked nervously back at them.
"Done," the Doctor muttered when his sonic screwdriver suddenly beeped.
The Doctor, Rose and Amy then stood back up before he placed his sonic screwdriver back inside his jacket's pocket as the Doctor pulled out the innards of the post, resting it on the rim as Riddell reentered the room.
"Doctor, this is more than a two-man job," Riddell told the Time Lord as Amy picked up one of the rifles, "What're you doing?"
"I'm easily worth more than two men," Amy explained, "You and Jack can both help too, if you like."
Amy then exited the room with Riddell following her. The Doctor then looked at the device he pulled from the post and resting in the middle of it was a large crystal. The Time Lord breathed on his hands before he rubbed them together and reached in and quickly grabbed the crystal from it.
"A-ha!" The Doctor said, happily as he threw the crystal in the air before it fell back in his hands.
"Show-off," Rose muttered as she smiled at him.
"Ready for a little adventure, Rose?" The Doctor asked the Time Lady as he smiled at her.
"Always," Rose answered as she nodded her head and smiled back at him.
"Doctor, Rose, what're you both going to do…" Amy began to ask both Gallifreyans as she walked back in as they teleported out before she headed back to the corridor as Rory and Brian began to pilot the ship using the chairs.
The raptors growled as Amy, Jack and Riddell were guarding the doorway as the dinosaurs edged closer towards them.
"Quickens the blood, doesn't it?" Riddell asked them.
"It sure does, Riddell," Jack said, agreeing with him.
"The sooner this lot go back to being extinct, the better," Amy stated.
"You both know what I want more than anything?" Riddell asked them
"Lessons in gender politics?" Amy suggested, causing Jack to chuckle.
"A dinosaur tooth to take home," Riddell answered before he shot a raptor with his rifle, "Dinosaurs ahead, lady at my side, about to be blown up. Not sure I've ever been happier."
"Shut up and shoot," Amy told him.
"Yeah, what she said," Jack said, agreeing with his mother-in-law.
The three of them then began to fire stun blasts at the raptors before what seemed like a choreographed dance, Amy, Jack and Riddell twist and spun back-to-back as they fired at the dinosaurs.
"Duck!" Riddell ordered Amy before she did as he ordered and ducked as Jack and Riddell shot a raptor over her head before the others began to stand back up as they continued to fire stun blasts at them.
Back in the ship's Control deck, Rory and Brian were side by side in the chairs that they were sitting on as they grunted and piloted the ship.
"Uh, I'm flying a spaceship," Brian said with disbelief, "Rory?"
"Hmm?" Rory asked him.
"We're flying a spaceship!" Brian answered.
"I know!" Rory told him before he laughed as the ship began to veer away from Earth.
"No!" Brian muttered as he began to treat piloting the ship with Rory like a video game and cheered himself on, "That's it, that's it! That's it, that's it! Me, me, me, me! Yes, yes! This is better than golf."
Meanwhile on board Solomon's ship, the Doctor and Rose both teleported onto the ship behind the trader and Nefertiti.
"Hello!" The Doctor greeted Solomon, "Having trouble leaving?"
"Yeah, are you having trouble with your ship, Solomon?" Rose asked him.
"How do you know who I am, girl?" The trader asked her as he stood up and turned around towards the Gallifreyan couple.
"I'm Rose Smith, the Doctor's wife," Rose answered as the Doctor pressed live wires to Solomon's robots with both of his hands.
"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do…" the robots began to sing before they powered themselves off.
"Ship's still magnetised," the Doctor said as he tapped the robot on his left with his right hand, "Couldn't bear to lose you."
"Release my ship, Doctor and Rose, or I kill this precious little object," Solomon demanded both the Time Lord and Time Lady as he held a weapon to Nefertiti's neck with his right hand before Nefertiti kicked Solomon's cane out from under him, causing him to grunt as he fell to the floor before she grabbed it and held it's point to his neck.
"I am not your possession now, nor will I ever be," the Egyptian queen told him, "Now stay there."
"You heard the queen," Rose told Solomon as she walked over to him with a smirk on her face as the Doctor placed his arms behind his back.
"Don't mess with Egyptian queens, Solomon," the Doctor added as he walked towards and bent down towards him, "I hope you've learnt that now."
"What're you doing?!" Solomon asked the Doctor as he walked over to the controls to his ship.
"Disabling this ship's signal and replacing it with the one from the Silurian ship. I send this craft off emitting the signal they're looking for, the missiles will follow," the Doctor answered as he turned back around towards him, "Hopefully Silurian ship safe, dinosaurs safe, everybody safe." He then checked his watch, "Bit tight for time though, shouldn't really be chatting."
"You, running out of time?" Rose said as she looked at her husband with a smile on her face, "Now, that's a first."
"You know me, Rose. Always like to keep things interesting," the Doctor told her, "Nefi, Rose, let's go." He then clapped his hands and headed off before stopping, "How remiss of me, almost forgot. The thing about missiles, very literal, this is what they latch on to." He then set down the crystal and pulled out his sonic screwdriver again, "Now, one press on this and the ship's demagnetised."
"Doctor, whatever you and your wife want, I can get it for you both," Solomon told him, "Whatever object you two desire."
"Did the Silurians beg you to stop?" The Doctor asked him before he looked at the ship's computer screens, "Look, Solomon, the missiles. See them shine. See how valuable they are. And they're all yours."
"You wouldn't leave me, Doctor!" Solomon said as the Doctor began to follow Rose and Nefertiti off the ship as he hit the button next to the gate as he left the cockpit, causing it to slide back shut before he activated his sonic screwdriver.
"Enjoy your bounty," the Doctor told him, "If you survive this, we'll contact the Shadow Proclamation. They'll arrest you and put you on trial for genocide. You won't escape justice." He then walked away from the gate, "Goodbye, Solomon."
"DOCTOR!" Solomon yelled as the door to the gate slid back shut as he stood back up before his ship took off and began heading away from the Silurian Ark and Earth as the missiles changed direction and began to follow Solomon's ship before he saw the missiles on the screen, "DOCTOR!" The missiles then converged onto his ship and collided with it, causing the ship to explode.
Back inside the Silurian Ark, Amy, Jack and Riddell stood in the middle of the corridor that they were standing in when they were stunning the dinosaurs as they were now surrounded by the raptors, which were now sedated as the spaceship was now travelling away from Earth.
Back in the corridor of the ship where the TARDIS was parked, the Doctor was leading the way with Rose as Jack, Rory, Amy and Brian followed them.
"So, dinosaur drop-off time," the Doctor said as he opened the TARDIS' doors.
"Actually, we think home for us," Rory told the Time Lord.
"Oh," the Doctor muttered as he stopped in the doorway as he heard what Rory said, "Fine. Of course." Nefertiti and Riddell then arrived behind them.
"Not forever," Amy assured him, "Just a couple of months."
"It's all right, Amy," Rose told her.
"And I've got to head back to Torchwood," Jack added with a smile, "The new base isn't going to build itself."
"Right, yes, we're pretty busy anyway," the Doctor stated as Nefertiti and Riddell began talking to each other, "I mean, we've got to drop everyone back."
"About that," Brian said as he stepped out from behind Amy and Rory, "Can I ask a favour? There's something I want to see."
"Oh," the Doctor muttered with a smile on his face.
"We're all ears, Brian," Rose said as she smiled at him.
A while later, the TARDIS was hovering above Earth and sitting in its doorway with their feet dangling over the edge was Brian, who was eating a sandwich and drinking tea from a thermos. Amy and Rory walked over and stood behind him, looking out at their home with Jack. The Doctor and Rose both came up behind them and watched them sadly.
Back in the African Plains in 1902, it was night as Riddell looked up at the night sky with a dinosaur tooth tied on a cord hanging down from his neck and stood in front of his tent before Nefertiti, who decided to go with him and stay in 1902 rather than her own time stepped out from the tent with her hair loose and a rifle in her hands as she cocked it.
Meanwhile at the under construction hub for Torchwood Three in 2013, Jack was sitting at his desk in his office and working on the paperwork that he was working on before he decided to go with the Doctor and Rose on their adventure with the Silurian Ark when the door to his office opened up with his second-in-command, Gwen Cooper entered the room.
"So, you're back, Jack," Gwen said as she looked at him with a smile on her face, "Where did you go?"
"The Doctor and Rose wanted me for an adventure with my in-laws, a big game hunter from the 19th and 20th century named John Riddell and Queen Nefertiti of Egypt involving a spaceship in the 24th century," Jack answered.
"Well, it's glad to have you back," she told him, "We need Torchwood up and running as soon as possible if we are to stop alien threats again."
"You're absolutely right, Gwen," Jack said as he smiled at her, "And you know me, I'm always up for a challenge. Let's get Torchwood back in action. We've got a world to protect."
Back at Amy and Rory's house, Rory was standing on the ladder and blew into the light fixture that his father was working on before they went on the adventure involving the Silurian Ark before he inserted the bulb as Amy entered the room with mail in her hands.
"More postcards from your Dad," Amy told him.
"Do you know what?" Rory asked her, "I think it is the fitting."
On a wall of photos nearby, they had tacked up the postcards from Brian in exotic locations like the leaning tower of Pisa in Italy, Rio de Janeiro, Egypt and Uhluru. Amy and Rory then looked at the latest one, which showed the TARDIS in what could pass for prehistoric Earth complete with dinosaurs and had the word 'Siluria' near the bottom left of it before Amy placed it on the wall with the other photos.
Please review.
And for those who are unfamiliar with the Inforarium that was mentioned, it was the setting of a minisode for Series 7 with the Doctor having memory-proofed the information regarding him that he learned about from the Silence, but in this story's universe, but he and Rose memory-proofed the information regarding both of them.
