Excerpt
from: The Engineer and the Time Lady
She also called up the surveilance footage of the rail
motor again. 'Locate the rail motor,' she directed.
An icon appeared, indicating that the rail motor had been
last spotted at one of the abandoned stations an hour after Aialah's
disappearance at the main railway station. She brought up the relevant footage.
It showed the rail motor arriving, and Aialah being rough handled off it by
several men, including the Mayor's son! She was getting somewhere. 'First, the
Guild needs to know. Then I'll try to rescue Aialah from those men!' Nina
thought as she saw the rail motor leave again. Probably was stored in a thought
abandoned rail shed somewhere, she supposed.
“OK, TARDIS, let the Librarian Guild know. Give them this
footage as an anonymous tip.”
The TARDIS 'dinged', the the footage had been sent to the
Guild.
“Lead the coordinates into the Emergency Subset,” Nina
cried out as she left the Auxillary Console Room. She stopped by a wardrobe and
threw on a concealing outfit.
Again, the Emergency Subset left the TARDIS.
The Emergency Subset materialised off to the side of the
abandoned station, the sound of that materialisation drowned out by the sound
of the poorly maintained rail motor departing. As Nina moved towards Aialah and
her kidnappers she could hear the former struggling.
“You won't get away with this!” Aialah cried out.
“Stop!” Nina cried out as she approached, throwing her
voice lower so Aialah wouldn't recognise it.
“Get that person!” the Mayor's son called out to his men.
The gang pulled out firearms and started shooting. Nina
ducked behind a pillar just in time. Her hearts beat faster as she heard the
bullets ricochet off it. 'I didn't think they would be armed!' she thought. She
looked back towards the Emergency Subset. She would make it. 'But do I have the
phaser?' she wondered. She checked her pockets, but it was obvious the phaser
was back in the TARDIS. But she did have a spare tricorder. 'I'll retrieve it
later,' she decided. She started it scanning and threw it aside as a
distraction.
She ran back to the Emergency Subset as the goons shot at
the tricorder.
She returned to the TARDIS and ran back to the Zero Room
to try to calm down.
Having spent the night in the Zero Room, Nina returned to
the auxillary Console Room in the morning to find that the leaked footage had
caused a media frenzy. Most of the outlets were calling for the Mayor to
resign. But the Guild hadn't yet found Aialah. 'I'll have breakfast and go to
the Library.'
Aolare was approaching Nina's motor home when Nina
emerged. “Good. I need to talk to you. That leak may have done more harm than
good.”
“What do you mean?”
“The Guild needs to find Aialah before the Police do.”
“Right...” Nina considered.
“Let's go. I've set up an operations center in the
Library.”
Nina entered the room in which Aolare was coordinating the
search for Aialah. “The team are approaching the abandoned station now, Ma'am,”
one of the other librarians said.
“Good,” Aolare said.
Nina breathed deeply.
It was a long day. Hardly any progress was made, except
that evidence from the station indicated that Aialah had been taken elsewhere.
“Maybe we should try calling in the Mayor's son,” Nina groused as she left the
Library.
“No, he'll just stonewall us,” Aolare objected. “We're
tracking down the others that were with him.”
“Probably.”
Entering the TARDIS, Nina saw that the download of the
network was complete. “I know where Aialah was two nights ago. I can use the
TARDIS to rescue her.” But there was a lot of risk in that.

“The other times may not be applicable.”
“Why not?” Dani asked.
“They didn’t happen on Earth, or even in the Solar
System.”
“So, what do we do?” Clara asked. “Go back to the
TARDIS?”
“Of course!” the Doctor said, almost slapping himself in
the face. The scanner can pick up what the sonic missed.
“Sonic?” Dani asked.
The Doctor showed her the sonic screwdriver. “Sonic
screwdriver. It does everything, except wood.”
“You use it to scan things, and yet you call it a
screwdriver?” Dani asked.
“He must have called it that for a reason,” Clara said as
she lead the way back to the TARDIS.
“I’m not sure why,” the Doctor said. “Probably because
that’s what I used the original version for, and I just kept adding functions
as I continued to travel.”
“I guess that makes sense,” Dani said. ‘But I wonder if
such happened with the TARDIS too? A time machine probably doesn’t need to be
bigger on the inside.’
Once they were back in the TARDIS, the Doctor scanned the
whole town. “No distortions in space time in Gundagai.”
“None right now,” Clara clarified.
“Scanning further back…” the Doctor said.
“The TARDIS can do that?” Dani asked.
“There’s little the TARDIS can’t do.”

from: Emily and the Doctor
“So, what would you have me do?”
“Pay attention to what I say, Mr. President. Have your
staff gather reports on unusual activity in this city, or in Maryland or
Virginia,” the Doctor said.
“I will certainly do that. But I would like you to be a
lot less vague.”
“I wouldn’t be if I knew what the threat was.”
