The TARDIS then quarantined the scanner circuitry,
stopping the infection from spreading any further.
“Good, the quarantine is holding,” the Doctor said.
“But wouldn't that mean that the scanner is useless?”
Sabir asked. He was worried that the TARDIS had lost further functionality.
“Not useless,” the Doctor answered. “It just means that
it's unable to share the information with the rest of the TARDIS. It also means
that we have to rely on ourselves and the computational capacity of the scanner
itself to decrypt that file.”
Within the Scanner, the battle continued. The Dalek
AIs continued to attempt to break the TARDIS' quarantine, to no avail.
One of the Dalek AIs decided to do something else to force
the Time Lord in control of the TARDIS to give it access to his/her ship (Not
knowing that it was the Oncoming Storm).
Sigrun and Jia'hale waited patiently as they guarded
Kellira and her guards. But the monotony was broken by the blaring of an alarm.
Sigrun was surprised by Kellira's fearful reaction. “What's wrong?” she asked.
“It's a decompression alarm!” Kellira explained. “But
how? I didn't order it!”
“Maybe your compatriots have decided to sacrifice you, to
kill us and the Doctor, without realising that the TARDIS is here.”

Excerpt
from: Daria – A November of Change
Daria
Morgendorffer returned to her dorm room after her American Literature class. ‘Not everthing that
is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced,’ she
thought. While she had read some of James Baldwin’s writings back in high school
(after moving to Lawndale), the class had re-awakened her appreciation for his
work. She had found his moral writings were still rather pertinent, as she
could see that there were still divisions in American society along racial
lines. She sighed.
“Hey, Daria,” her roommate, Natalia Daniels said. “Have
you voted yet?” she asked as she stood up.
“Yes,” Daria said, guardedly. ‘At least Massachusetts is
a Blue State,’ she thought. Even so, she didn’t want to tell Natalia that she
voted for Kerry. They had already had arguments earlier in the semester about
the impact of Bush Junior’s policies.
Natalia brushed her hands through her close-cropped hair.
She could see that Daria was agitated. “Sorry.”
“That’s ok,” Daria said as she sat at her desk. She
wanted to reflect more on Baldwin’s works, but it was obvious Natalia wasn’t
giving her the chance.
“Some friends and I are going out to Assabet to view the
Leonids tonight,” Natalia said. “Do you want to come?”
“Um, sure?” Daria said. Viewing a meteor shower seemed
like a better idea than re-reading a Baldwin novel she had already read while
listening to the Election Night coverage.
“Great!” Natalia said. “We’ll leave at seven.”
Daria returned from dinner to find that Natalia had
changed into one of her more colourful and loose outfits. “Wouldn’t it be a bit
cold for that?” she asked. She hugged herself, rubbing her velvet covered
jumper for emphasis.
“No,” Natalia said, shaking her head.
When Daria and Natalia arrived, Daria could see that
Natalia’s friends were drinking beer, whilst listening to the election count
coverage on the radio. ‘Aren’t they underage?’ she wondered. She was too, until
later in the month. She knew Natalia was a year under her. “Drinking?” she
asked.
“Yes. Don’t be a square, Daria!” Natalia said. “I’m sure
you drink.”
Daria
sighed. She did, in fact, drink. Occasionally.
