Universe 1: [img=http://demonsresume.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/tina-hanlon.jpg][img=http://themindrobber.co.uk/doctor-who-season-3/doctor-who-judoon-smith-and-jones.jpg] The alien leader started giving orders and Miranda watched as they started to break into teams. She frowned. Were they planning on rounding up everyone? Glancing back at the people in the lobby she noticed, once marked they were ignored. That was strange. A voice interrupted her musings and she looked over. It was the man again. Didn't he hear a word she said? [i]Ah I'm the Doctor by the way[/i]. He told her. A doctor? He didn't look medical. He continued talking, grinning all the while. It was like a kid meeting Santa Claus or something. However, he quickly moved on and started talking about air and how they might not have long. Then he asked if [i]she[/i] wanted to help [i]him[/i]. As if not expecting an answer, he moved off, checking some humans. Maybe he was a doctor. Realizing he probably was right about the air, Miranda went after him. They were in space. Why hadn't the air left as it was? Maybe the aliens or whoever they were, put up something. If they did, it would contain the air but not bring in fresh air. Maybe that was what the Doctor meant. "Officer Taylor." She offered coming up alongside him. At his quizzical expression, she pointed to her badge. "That's my name." She stated. He hadn't bothered giving her his first name and there was no need for her to give hers. "You mentioned something about the air. What can we do?" She walked along as they headed back up the stairs. They still had yet to run into any of the aliens which worked for her. She didn't know what exactly they were doing. She paused after the man blurted out some idea. "What kind of doctor are you again?" She inquired. Whoever he was, he did know what he was talking about the air supply. Waving at a few people standing around, Miranda called out to them. "Start gathering oxygen tanks. We might need them soon." Looking her over, they nodded and scattered. She smiled. Having a uniform on did make things more helpful. Sounds of the aliens a few floors below them caused caused her to look back at the doctor man. "Any idea why these...things are here?" She asked. For some reason, she had a feeling he knew what they were and possibly why they were here. "When you checked a few of the people back there, how were they? Did the mark or whatever the alien did cause serious issues?" She wasn't really scared or worried for herself. She seen death and faced it often enough that she wasn't to worried for her life at the moment. What concerned her was that there was a hospital full of people, some kind of rhino alien, and the oxygen was running out. What she didn't know was that there was a something even more dangerous lurking around in the hospital. Something that the aliens were after. Something, that if given the chance, would sacrifice so many humans to save her own skin. --- Universe 2 [img=http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/The-Snowmen-Doctor-Who-Christmas-Special-Trailer-4.jpg] Inside his TARDIS, the Doctor tossed his hat on the control panel and made his way around it. "It's just you and me, ol' girl." He stated gently touching the knobs and controls as he passed by them. Not turning them on or anything, just gently stroking them. When it was all said and done, when everyone one had left there would always be him and the TARDIS. When he ran away from Gallifrey all those years ago, it was just him and her. Though he picked up companions along the way, it eventually always came back to him and his TARDIS. Maybe it would be easier that way. Maybe he should just stay within the TARDIS and not venture out again. He had given a lot to the universe and the universe did not care. Amy was gone. Rory was gone. Every companion he ever knew or loved was gone. A knock on the door startled him out of his musings. Turning, he looked at the door surprised. Had he heard something? Was this solitude finally getting to him? For as long as he knew, he had always been running. Going after monsters, chasing villains, exploring the wonders of the universe. He didn't spend a lot of time resting or relaxing. Maybe this retirement was getting to his head and he was just hearing things. The knock came again and he realized that it had to be real. "Who would be knocking on the TARDIS?" He wondered allowed as he headed back that way. The TARDIS was parked up on some clouds. It moved when he wanted it to move. The only way up was a ladder that no one could see. You had to know where it was to even pull it down. How could someone come up and knock on the door? Opening the door he expected to see someone. But no one was there. There had to be something. He heard the knock. "Perhaps I'm going mad." He muttered turning to go. Catching something from the corner of his eye, he turned and bent down. Picking it up he examined it. It was someone's scarf. "Now who's is this?" He wondered looking it over. He looked around the cloud. "Hello? Is anyone there? Vastra if this is some trick you are playing to get me involved, I won't have it." He stated. He shook his head. As he was about to go in, that's when she appeared. The young woman from earlier. He stared at her. "Clara is it?" He said, a bit puzzled how she got there. "How did...?" He looked toward the ladder. She must have seen him climbing up and followed him. Walking over, he handed her back her scarf. "You shouldn't be here." He told her a bit put out. "You shouldn't have followed me." Her scowled at her but she just glared right back at him. Whoever, she was, she had spirit. Kind of nice actually. Might make a good companion. No! He was done. He was retired. "Did Vastra send you?" He asked looking her over. "Tell her I don't want anything to do with it anymore. I'm done." He shook his head, the weight of his years hanging heavily upon him. "I've given the universe so much already." He stated, his tone sad. Turning back, he spoke again, his voice raising a bit. "And how does it respond? Nothing. It doesn't care." It wasn't shouting but the words came out fairly strong. He looked at her, suddenly realizing something. "Vastra didn't send you did she? You just happened to follow me?"
