Moon Mechanics.
Chapter 3:
Doctor's POV:
The Doctor watched Jack and Riley leave, and then turned to head back to the TARDIS. He got about three steps before he was confronted by Cybermen. "Oh, well, so much for a quiet retreat..." He raised his hands over his head, as he was surrounded and the Cybermen came to a halt.
"You will come with us. All citizens will be upgraded. Those who refuse will be deemed un-compatible. Un-compatible persons will be deleted."
"Oh, really? Well, it's a good thing I'm not a citizen then, isn't it?"
"You will come with us. You will be upgraded."
"Yeah, but, hold on... before I get upgraded, can I just ask one thing...?" The Doctor reached into a pocket, finding a maze of useless thing, and finally... "You know what happens when a small, two-way radio gets blasted by a sonic screwdriver?"
"No. You will be upgraded."
"Hang on, 'cos, in this case, I dunno either, so, before I go, let's find out, shall we...?" The Doctor jammed the sonic screwdriver into the microphone part of the small two-way he'd gotten from Jack, and amped up the volume, tweaking it a bit. The sound that came out of it must have been dead awful, because the Cybermen grabbed their heads and started short-circuiting.
The Time Lord dropped both devices back in his pocket. "Well, apparently, that happens... Uh-oh..." He started running as more Cybermen came after him, but when he got to the spot where he'd parked the TARDIS it was gone.
"No, no, no, no, no, no! You're gone! No! What! You can't be gone! Why does this always happen! Why are you always gone!" He looked around for a hiding spot and jumped when someone grabbed him from behind, pulling him into an alley.
"I know what you're looking for and where it is, now where's Riley?"
"What? She's fine, she's with Jack, I tried to stop her but she insisted and went anyway! Who are you?"
"Later, that's all I needed to know. This way..." The stranger dragged him through to another street, crossed it and wove through an alley, before shoving him into a parked car, which promptly sped off, away from the Cybermen.
"Great, now that we're out of danger, would you mind telling me who you are and what, exactly have you done with my TARDIS?" The Doctor asked, annoyed at being car-jacked so rudely.
"We're friends of Riley's, and if that box thing is yours then you were the last person to see her. Where is she? Who's got her?"
"No one's got her. I told you, she went with Jack, this... this friend of mine. She wouldn't stay behind! I tried to stop her but no, stubborn as they come, she walked right off into the mess of it all with him!"
"Why?"
"Well, I dunno, do I? Maybe she had a thing for him. Well, maybe they had a thing for each other but anyway, where's my TARDIS?"
"At the Directorate. No one's been able to get into it yet but we're working on it."
"Well, I can tell you to stop wasting your time, the assembled forces of Genghis Kahn couldn't get through those doors, and believe me, they've tried..." He smiled a bit, remembering he'd said the same thing to Rose when she'd first stepped into the TARDIS.
"Who are you?"
"I'm the Doctor, hello, pleased to meet you, and you are...?"
"Rhoan, and that's Quinn up front."
The Time Lord leaned over the seat. "Hello, pleased to meet you."
"Right."
The Doctor felt a mind trying to enter his own yet again, and he glared at Quinn. "Oi! Your friend Riley already tried that, and personally I'm starting to get a little sick of it, I mean, you could at least ask first!"
Rhoan smiled. "You're telepathic?"
"Yeah, well, only mildly, well..."
"You've got to be more than just mildly telepathic if you just stopped Quinn from entering your mind uninvited. Trust me when I say that not many people can do that."
"He's clean, Rhoan." Quinn grinned from the front of the car. "He let me scan his surface thoughts."
"Well, why not? Like I said, Riley's fine."
"You don't know that." Quinn said. "You hope she's fine, but you don't know for sure."
"Oh, very good Quinn, was it? So, tell me, Quinn, Rhoan, if you will; how come you thought I snatched her?"
"She mention the genetics labs?"
"Only in passing."
"Riley's been kidnapped a lot recently, there's a big gen lab doing experimental gene research around, they want her DNA."
"She said they wanted her dead."
“They do now. We're getting too close, and she keeps escaping."
"Obviously... So, tell me, what do you two know about Cybermen?"
"Cyber-what?" Rhoan asked.
“Those metal men, in the street, that you saved me from, they're called Cybermen. I've met them before and they're as bad as your gene labs, or worse... A human brain grafted into a metal skin. No emotion, no pain, no fear, and no mercy..."
"And Riley went with your friend to stop them?"
"Yes, she did. They're trying to find the main command centre, there they can pick up the access codes by hacking the mainframe, and from the TARDIS I can boost the signal once I have the codes, link my computers with theirs and transmit a pulse, a signal that will be broadcast through ever Cyberman's brain, being as they're all connected, knocking them all out at once! Of course, for that to work I need to hope that Jack and Riley are still alive, and I need to get to my TARDIS! The sooner the better, preferably."
"Don't worry, we're going there now, and what exactly is a TARDIS, by the way?"
"Time And Relative Dimension In Space. It's a space ship that travels through time."
"Pull the other one."
"No, no, it really is, it's a time-travelling space ship..."
"So, you're saying you're an alien?"
"Yeah, I am."
"Crap!"
"No, really, ask him, he read my mind."
"Not properly." Quinn said, and the Doctor felt him skimming his surface thoughts again. "He's not lying Rhoan, he really is an alien."
"Yeah, I am. Time Lord. Last of. I have two hearts, and I'm really, really clever... Oh, and I have a sonic screwdriver! It opens things."
"Riiight... Wait a moment, two hearts?"
"Yeah, that's right. Two."
"No way." Rhoan said. "I mean, alien is one thing, but two hearts...?" He put his hands either side of the Doctor's chest, and his eyes went wide. "Holy shit, you're not kidding!"
The Time Lord grinned. "Nope."
"What's Three-hundred-sixty-nine thousand, two-hundred-and-eighty-one, multiplied by eight-hundred-sixty-tree thousand, nine-hundred-and-eleven, divided by nine-hundred-and-seventy-three, squared?"
"Three-hundred-and-thirty-six thousand, nine-hundred-and-seventy-seven, point zero two zero nine."
"Whoa. How'd you work that out?"
"I'm very clever."
Rhoan got out his phone and opened the calculator. "Shit, you're good."
The Doctor grinned. "Yeah, I am... no, actually, I'm brilliant!"
This time it was Rhoan's turn to grin. "Yeah, I bet you are..."
The Time Lord groaned. "Oh, not you too...! Are all werewolves like this...?"
"Basically, yeah. Well, not all of them swing but sex in general is a very basic part of every wolf's being. We literally can't live without it. The moon-fever would pretty quickly turn into blood-lust if we went without for too long... The only way to fix that is by giving the wolf blood and sex... Lots of it."
"Really?"
"Yeah, really."
"Hm, maybe Jack's part werewolf...?"
"My bosses name is Jack..."
"Really? Now there's a coincidence."
"Yeah, right, And I believe in coincidence."
"Nah, me neither."
Quinn parked the car in an underground garage a few moments later, and the Doctor followed him and Rhoan into what had to be the Directorate. He noticed that there were a lot of floors below ground level and not so many upper levels.
"Half the people that work here are vampires, and can't stand a lot of daylight." Rhoan explained, noticing his glance, as they left the lift.
The Doctor beamed widely as they entered a large room, and he saw the TARDIS parked in a corner. "Oh! There she is!" He patted the side. "Good as ever, eh old girl! At least they weren't too rough on you, eh? Now then!" The Time Lord pulled the key from a pocket and fitted it to the look, and Rhoan peered round the door curiously as he opened it, and the Doctor grinned, and said; "Welcome to the TARDIS, Rhoan the werewolf!"
Rhoan's jaw dropped. "No way! Quinn... you've got to see this, it's... it's..."
"Bigger on the inside, yeah."
"How's it do that?"
"Time Lord science." The Doctor said, evasively.
"In other words you're not telling."
The Doctor grinned again.
Quinn poked his head through the door, reversed, walked around the outside of the TARDIS, and then looked in again, shaking his head.
"Told you, you had to see." Rhoan said.
"Incredible."
"Yeah, she is, isn't she?" The Doctor said, absently stroking the console as he moved round and started fiddling with levers. "Rhoan, you wouldn't happen to have a cell phone would you?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Call Riley, see if she's still with Jack... Soon as I boot up the schematics I'll need those codes..."
"On it." Rhoan said, and dialled.
Riley's POV:
Just as I hit the floor behind Jack, my phone rang. I answered it quickly to cut the noise. It was Rhoan. "Hey, bro. I'm fine."
"Good. Hey, are you still with someone called Jack?"
"Yeah, why? How'd you know?"
"We found the Doctor and his weird blue box, and thought they might've nabbed you... We shipped the thing back here and I grabbed him when he came back for it."
"Please tell me you didn't hurt him, bro?" I asked, dreading the thought.
"He's fine. Right at home, actually... Have you seen the inside of this thing! It's huge, but it's a box!"
"No, I haven't been inside, but I'm definitely gonna check that out when I get back... Is the Doctor with you?" I asked.
"Yeah, right here." He put it on speaker.
"Riley! Glad to hear you're still kicking! Have you two got those codes yet?"
"I'm workin' on it!" Jack replied, and I relayed the message.
"Great! Give me five minutes and I'll have recalibrated the system... I'm going to re-rout the power, and reverse-feed the base code through the system for you, so you can transmit the cancelation code through the main command computer, to knock them all out... Let me know when Jack's done with that."
"Will do." I said, then added; "Hey, bro?"
"Yeah?" Came Rhoan's voice.
"Do me a favour and don't stare too hard at the skinny alien in the suit... I don't think he swings that way..."
"Already been shut down sis, don't worry about it... Hey, y'know he has two hearts, right?"
I shook my head. "What?"
"Yeah, I didn't believe it either at first."
"I'm going to have to have a word with that Time Lord next time I see him."
"Yeah, I'll be sure to mention it to him."
"Good. I'll call back when we're done here."
"Cheers sis, and be careful."
"I am."
"Good." He hung up, and I went over to where Jack was trying to hack the computer.
"Here, let me. I'm good with computers, trust me..." I was. As an ex-liaison and now almost Guardian I could hack with the best of them, alien or not.
A few minutes later we had the codes, I sent a message to Rhoan's phone and was about to call when footsteps sounded outside the door.
"Shit!" Jack swore, shoving me behind him. "Looks like we've got company! Riley, whatever happens, get that thing transmitting when the Doctor tells you to, you got that? Otherwise, the whole world's gonna get shish-kebabed!"
I nodded and pulled a laser. "Got it."
Jack faced the door, pulling a large, high-tech looking gun out of his bag, and said; "Here we go..."
The door crashed open and a dozen Cybermen marched in. "You will be deleted."
"Like hell I will!" Jack shouted, and started shooting like crazy. "Riley! Get that thing working!"
"Delete. Delete. Delete."
I kept working at the keyboard then called Rhoan. "Got this set to go, bro, 'nother two minutes!" The Doctor grabbed the phone. "Riley, how much time have you got!"
"About thirty seconds. As soon as Jack runs out of bullets we're screwed!"
"They found you!"
"Yeah."
"Damnit! Riley, I need about – five minute! That's it, just five!"
"No guarantees, Doctor, I don't think we've got that long."
Jack was almost back to back with me now, and the Cybermen were still advancing.
"Delete."
"Aaaaggghhh!" Click. "Shit!" Jack swore and threw his gun aside.
"You will step away from the controls. You will be deleted."
"Aw, heck." Jack said, and held his arms open.
"Jack, no!"
"Riley...!" The Doctor's voice on the phone sounded oddly distant...
"Delete..."
Jack screamed, and dropped, and I heard myself screaming with him.
"Riley, what happened!"
"He's dead... They killed him..." I said, numbly.
"Riley, you have got to get that thing transmitting when I tell you! You've got to!"
"I know, Doctor, I know..." I looked around for an escape, then suddenly had an idea. I fired the laser, killing the lights, and wrapped the shadows around me, stepping sideways, and firing at what, in infra-red looked like a red splodge, hovering in mid air. Apparently only the brains were hot. It was good enough for me.
I moved around, hitting them all one by one, and tried to stay out of the light thrown by the sparks as the Cybermen got fried. Soon the red brain-splodges were all extinguished and I turned back towards the controls, surprised when the form of Jacks' body on the floor showed a steadily growing source of heat. I knelt beside him, fishing a torch out of his bag, and switched back to normal vision, flicking it on.
"Riley?" I'd almost forgotten about the phone.
"Yeah, I'm here. I stopped them all, but..."
"Riley, I'm done, type in the over-ride codes, now!"
"But..."
"Just do it! Please, we don't have time!"
I got up and returned to the monitor, stabbing the keys, and I could hear the Doctor doing the same on the other end... I could also hear more Cybermen approaching from just outside the room...
"Done it!"
"Great, and, now!" The monitor flashed and codes and strings of numbers started sprinting across the screen, and I turned as more of the damned Cybermen reached the door.
"Delete... Delete... Delete..."
I was really trapped now and I closed my eyes as they came closer, and hoped to hell whatever was meant to happen, happened fast... They were only a foot away now...
"Delete... Dele..." Suddenly they stopped, grabbing their metal heads and screaming – yes, even through the metal it was definitely screaming – and dropped to the floor and lay still.
I breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered about Jack. "Doctor? It worked, they're down, but Jack..." I screamed suddenly as Jack gasped, and grabbed my wrist, sitting up suddenly.
"Hey, Riley... Boy, are you a good sight to wake up to..."
I swear I almost fainted...
