The group of you stand in a very... unique silence. River staring at the Doctor, the Doctor deeply conflicted between River and Yaz, who looks quite confused.
"Yaz, this is..." The Doctor tries, widely gesturing with her hands. "My wife." She says, taking a deep breath.
"Okay." Yaz smiles.
"Okay?" She turns, a bit confused.
"Doctor, you're over 2000 years old. I understand that you've been married before. I'd really be shocked if you haven't."
"I love her." She clears. "And you."
Yaz nods, and the Doctor exhales, looking much calmer.
"Thank you." The Doctor smiles, taking a few steps towards River.
"You're a woman now." River slowly says.
"And that's okay?"
"I love it." River grins, taking the Doctors hands in her own.
They lean in closer, catching each other in a slow kiss. You look over to see Yaz tense, but a genuine smile on her face. Clearly conflicted.
"Um..." Ryan starts.
"Right." The Doctor pulls back, not letting go of Rivers hand. You can see her usual bubbly mask starting to crumble. "The matrix, the master. Oh. The master is creating a new race of Cybermen using Time Lord bodies. An endless regenerating army. I-"
"Shush, love." River lowers her voice, squeezing her hand.
The Doctor extends her other hand to Yaz, who tentatively takes it. You can see her genuinely understand, but still deeply conflicted.
"If it helps, we have explosives." The older man adds.
"And a plan." Ryan adds.
"A cyber ship is parked, most likely outside now. We're going to strategically place bombs around it." River adds.
"Yes. Good. Do that." The Doctor tenses. "But it won't achieve everything. The CyberMasters-"
"Are you alright, Doctor?" Yaz interrupts, adding concern to her facial expression.
It's then you look around the room. Missy. You had been so wrapped up in River and Yaz you hadn't noticed her, missing.
"The half converted cyber man. He said something to me. The death of everything is within me. What did it mean?" She continues, ignoring Yaz's question.
"There is a myth around him." Ravio speaks up.
"The Death Particle." Yedlarmi clarifies.
"The legend is, he, it, whatever, has a Particle in a tiny chamber in its chest. It will take out all organic life on a planet." Ravio tells.
"That's grim." Ryan winces.
"And dangerous. It could fall into the wrong hands, or, whatever." Izzy winces.
"Looks like it already has." River responds.
"Or it's a solution. A timer on an explosive to activate the particle. Clear evacuation plan." The Doctor realizes, a very sad look coming across her face.
"Only if you've got a way to get us off this planet before it hits." The older man adds.
"You all good to set those explosives?" She turns to the humans from late-Earth. They nod. "I'll take care of the rest." She adds, letting go of her wife and girlfriends' hands. "We can take a spare TARDIS here, come on." The Doctor says, leading the way back through the corridor.
