XV. Lost in Space

Hi there. Here's another thing I wrote. Enjoy and all that.

Ella and the Doctor were sneaking around a corner of the building they found themselves in, faint voices could be heard from a room up ahead. The Doctor slowly peeked inside and motioned for Ella to follow him, she crept up behind him while he hid behind a desk in the back of the room. The grey occupants of the room were discussing what sounded like highly sensitive information. Ella couldn’t be sure because while she heard English their voices were so garbled it was difficult to understand. The Doctor gave Ella a shrug as his features twisted and he stuffed his face into his arm and sneezed.

“Are you kidding?!” Ella shouted as the people they were accidentally spying on, spotted them and started shooting from sleek black space guns. The Doctor grabbed her hand and they quickly ran from the room, taking a sharp left, back in the direction of the Tardis.

“Did you hear those weapons? They sound like screams, must have a massive internal reserve from the Dark Lands.” Ella wondered why that was important as she dashed after him, he took a lot of sharp turns, trying to throw off their pursuers by not going in a straight path.

“So, not earth then?” The brunette yelled as she barely dodged red energy blasts from the gun toting alien creatures that were out to kill them.

“No, Earth doesn’t have blasters that are powered by the souls of the dead.” The pair picked up their pace as they took a swift right and another left, they came upon a room with a door that blended into the wall. The Doctor had found it an hour ago when they did their first walk through of the building.

“Humans also don’t have tentacles.” Ella reminded as she silently paced the room, the Doctor had put his ear up against the door to listen for running footsteps.

“Yeah, that did occur to me.”

“Any ideas as to where we actually are then?” Ella whispered as the Doctor moved away from the door because the footsteps had run past.

“Well, judging by the model and power source of the blasters and the tentacles we have to be on Rezore. About half a universe away from Earth and roughly 4,000 years in your future. Oh, this is a bad year for this planet. We need to leave.” The Doctor began forming a plan in his head, he already had the acoustic layout of the building from the scan he ran earlier, that was how he found this room as it wasn’t on the original plans.

“Um, not to be rude or anything but do you actually know how to fly your Tardis? This is like the fifth wrong turn we took.” Ella slowed her pacing as her heart began to calm down.

“I may have failed the driving test four times.” The Doctor gave her a wincing look.

“Of course, you did. So, what is this place?” Ella gestured to the seemingly secret room they were hiding in, “why don’t they know about it?” The Doctor took a quick glance around the dark space.

“I’m not sure, a vault someone didn’t want to be found, a secret room for a specific purpose? It’s hidden by a small perception filter, that much I know. But it’s empty now, must’ve been forgotten.” The Doctor noticed a screen next to the door and quietly ran up to it, “I hope this is still connected to the main server, I need to disable their surveillance system.”
