Doctor Whooves: A Dazzling Encounter
Making an Escape
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Okay," the Doctor began, as he, Sunset and Adagio walked down the corridor. "I have no screwdriver, and no TARDIS, all I have is my psychic paper, which should be enough."
"Enough for what?" Sunset asked.
"An escape." The Doctor said. "Let's see, they have control over the ship making it so they can track us, but, as they're not familiar with these systems, they'll have some difficulty with tracking us. They probably don't even now that we escaped, but they can track us with our DNA. I will be easy to track, as I have Time-Lord DNA, so in order for us to be similar, I need to give both of you some Time-Lord DNA, and it can't just be by touch."
"And how do we do that?" Adagio asked.
"I don't know, I'll think of something." The Doctor said, "But, we need to split up, give them a more difficult chance of finding us. But, as we only have one psychic paper, we need to find some actual IDs, which shouldn't be that hard, Time Agents just left them sitting anywhere. And, if we're lucky, we can find a vortex manipulator, and simply teleport to the bridge."
"But, how do we defeat them?" Sunset asked.
"They seem to have different ideals, but, at the moment, they seem to get along, as they're working toward a common goal." The Doctor planned, "However, if we make them disagree, then, they'll start to hate each other, and then we can split them apart, and possibly take control."
"Divide, and conquer." Adagio said.
"Divide, and conquer." The Doctor confirmed. "All right, here we are." The Doctor stopped at a door, and used the psychic paper to open the door. The room was dark, making it difficult to see, but the Doctor walked in, and grabbed three IDs sitting on the table.
As he walked out, he looked over each of them. "Captain James Harrison, Captain Jennifer Hobbs, and Captain Julie Howard."
"I'm noticing a theme." Adagio said. "I'll take Julie." She grabbed the ID from the Doctor's hand.
"Well, I'm taking Hobbs then," Sunset said, being passed the ID.
"Then I have Harrison." The Doctor said, looking at the ID closely.
"But, we still need the Time-Lord ID in us." Sunset pointed out.
"Yes, um..." The Doctor rubbed his chin. "There is a way, but..." He turned to Sunset. "I want to tell you this means absolutely nothing, okay, absolutely nothing." The Doctor leaned in, and kissed Sunset on the mouth. He then broke off, and did the same to Adagio. He broke off, and ran off shouting, "Well, go look around then!"
"Well," Sunset said, slightly dazed, "that was unexpected."
"But, not unwelcome." Adagio said, also dazed.
The Doctor turned down the hallway. "Kiss them?" he was saying to himself. "Why did I have to kiss them? I could've figured out something else, after all, it's a simple genetic transfer, not a snogging palace." He opened a door, using the ID he found, and examined the room. It looked like a conference room, and the lights were on, and a wall monitor, which was accessible.
"Ah, here we go!" He began to press several keys on a keyboard by the monitor. "Let's see, map of the ship." He pulled up a map, and searched it. "Vortex Manipulators." He entered that into the search parameters, and was surprised when it said, UNDER THE TABLE. He kneeled down, and saw a spare vortex manipulator sitting in a small case. "Oh." The Doctor grabbed it, and put it on his left wrist. "Okay, let's see if you work." He entered coordinates, and then, clicked the new button, causing him to disappear.
Adagio was fortunate enough to have found a flashlight sitting in one of the rooms she visited, making the dark areas of the ship visible. But, she was still slightly shocked that the Doctor had kissed her, which was odd in itself. They weren't even the same species. He was a Time-Lord with two hearts, and the ability to travel in time and space. She was a siren, who looked like a human, and was a huge problem in the eyes of virtually everyone. So, why was she shocked?
Although, she wasn't able to ponder it any longer, as there was a flash of light right next to her. She turned quickly to her left, shining her flashlight on the person standing next to her.
"Lower that!" The Doctor said, blocking the light out of his eyes.
Adagio obliged, and lowered the flashlight. "How did you do that?"
"Vortex Manipulator, cheap and nasty time travel, but it also works as a teleport." The Doctor explained, raising his left wrist.
"A teleport?" Adagio said. "Why don't you just teleport out of here?"
"Because, even if we did, what would be the point?" The Doctor asked.
"Uh, escape?" Adagio said, putting up her hands in a 'duh' gesture.
"No, you're missing the point." The Doctor said. "We still have to beat them. Even if we escape, they can find us. Not to mention, they have my TARDIS."
"Why don't you teleport into the TARDIS?" Adagio asked.
"It has extrapolator shielding. There is no way I can teleport into it, even if I wanted to."
"So what do we do?"
"Well, first, I need something." The Doctor pressed a few buttons on the vortex manipulator, and then disappeared in a flash of light. A few seconds later, he reappeared with a bright red fez on his head.
Adagio rolled her eyes. "Seriously?"
"What?" He placed the fez on his head.
"A fez? Really?"
"Yeah, it's cool, fezzes are cool."
"Fine then, what's the plan?"
"Well," the Doctor began, as he turned down the hallway, "we know that Starlight and Aria are having difficulty finding us, due to the genetic transfer I gave you, and Sunset earlier."
"Oh," Adagio said, "is that what it was?"
"Yes, wait, what are you implying!?" The Doctor shouted.
"I don't know, you gave Sunset a bit of warning, and you gave me no warning at all, showing you wanted to be spontaneous."
"Oi!" The Doctor shouted. "That's not what it was! I had to insert some of my DNA into you and Sunset so they'd have difficulty into finding us. That was the most painless way it's was possible."
"Right." Adagio said. "Painless. I think you did it because you wanted to."
"I had to!" The Doctor shouted. "Would you want to be enclosed within a force field, and then killed by a gas or something?!"
"All right, fine!" Adagio yelled, raising her arms. "I get it, enough."
"Good." The Doctor said, and proceeded down the corridor, being followed by Adagio.
A minute later Adagio said. "You tongued."
"Oh, that's it!" He grabbed her arm, and pressed a few buttons on the vortex manipulator, causing them to disappear.
They reappeared right next to Sunset, who was in a conference room looking for a flashlight. "WAH!" Sunset shrieked.
"Hi." The Doctor said, letting go of Adagio's arm. "You alright?"
"Fine," she replied. "but, what was the kiss for?"
"Genetic transfer." He replied. "I placed a slight bit of my DNA inside you, so the stations scanners are confused which one of us is which."
"Ah, okay." Sunset replied. "I suppose that's makes sense."
"Right. Good. Well, at least someone here understand." He eyed Adagio, who was standing behind him.
"But," Sunset began, "what are you wearing?"
"It's a fez." The Doctor replied. "And, it's cool."
"I was just wondering." Sunset said. "I remember some people wearing those in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. They were protecting the Cup of Christ, if I remember correctly."
"Anyway," the Doctor interrupted, "we need make Aria and Starlight disagree, so they'll be venerable."
"I suppose you have a plan?" Sunset asked.
"Yes," the Doctor tapped the side of his nose, "I have a plan."
