"Alright, let's go." The Doctor says, waking back the counsel. You've just dropped off Izzy, Ryan, and Yaz.

"Already here!" Missy says in a light-hearted voice.

"Missy! Don't touch the TARDIS!" The Doctor says, obviously frustrated.

"Well it's not like you have a good reputation of getting us to the right place! It took you four tries to get them there!"

"I eventually got them there!" She retorts.

"And that, right there! Is a confession." Missy exclaims. You see the Doctor throw up her arms as she rolls her eyes.

"Fine!" She protests. "Come on gang!" Her perky attitude is back.

You carefully stand up, jogging to catch up with them.

"Say hello to the Doctor. I see you decoded the fish. Fancy a cuppa?" A man says, sitting in a chair with two armed guards standing next to him.

You catch up with Missy, who is standing frozen. She looks over to you before quickly walking away.

"Very much. Hello, these are my friends. Graham, y/n, and Missy." He looks at Missy before raising an eyebrow.

"So you're...?" Graham asks, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"O."

"O?"

"O." He clarifies.

"Oh..."

"It was a joke by the others at MI6. Whenever I came in the room to meet C, he'd go, Oh, god!"

"Oh." Is all Graham says, making you snicker a little.

"It sort of stuck, and now I've owned it. This is Seesay and Browning." He gestures to the two men next to him. "Just arrived. Australien Secret Service."

"We'll be here for the whole of your visit. We're under orders to keep all of you safe." Seesay says.

"Safe from what?" Graham asks, a little nervous.

"Not sure." Browning answers.

"You're going to be a right lot of help then, aren't you?" The Doctor says with a slightly annoyed tone. "Can I take a nose around your gaff?" She doesn't wait for a response, walking right past him with all of you reluctantly following. "I love the outback. I once lived in the outback for a hundred and twenty three years. I saw some great rocks." She rambles.

You follow her into a wooden house, which is quite messy.

"Cosy!" The Doctor smiles.

"You mean messy." O corrects.

"You're right, I do. Didn't realize you were this much of a hoarder." She comments. You cringe at her attempt of small talk.

"What is all this stuff?" Graham asks.

You sort of tune out, looking at Missy who has one hand on her hips, the other perched on the umbrella. She's tapping a foot on the ground, and has her lips pursed in a straight line. You're about to say something when the sound of a curtain being pulled back catches your attention. You look over to see a mess of screens.

"Wow! This is some set-up! Paranoid, aren't we?" Graham asks.

"No. I prefer cautious. I like to know if anything's watching me. And you're already in the middle of all of this. How do you know they won't follow you here? How do you know you haven't become targets too?" He asks, raising an eyebrow with a concerned voice.

Suddenly, you see a flash across one of the monitors.

"Something's coming." You point at a screen, speaking in a low voice.
