The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

Three's Uncompany Pt. 5

Entering the Sontaran ship proved difficult, but doable, all four entered the ship without anyone raising alarm, with Mantanga's help, they're capable of getting around the ship without struggling.

It's a large ship, on the low-end, Mantanga said they didn't get much choice what ship they used for their scientific inquiries, they're fortunate they even found a ship for their uses.

Their government would never give them the chance of obtaining anything better than it, would've told them that it's for warriors, not scientists.

It's smaller in the sense that it didn't have weapon cargo holds, armory, anything that a normal Sontaran ship had, it's impressive the Sontaran government even allowed it's departure, but still sizable enough that without Mantanga's help, they wouldn't find their way around it.

When asked how long they've been here, Mantanga said they arrived days ago, they only started their studies when they acclimated to the environment, Earth's far different than their home world, that it felt like their lungs ballooned trying to breathe in the change.

Mantanga stayed behind for the most part, running studies on the soil they dug around near the warehouses, but things started changing rapidly, with Masa's men bringing back Shale and Melia. Masa didn't tell them anything about bringing back testing subjects, he just ordered them to stay at their stations, and stop asking questions.

Why Masa wanted Shale and Melia, Mantanga didn't know, he couldn't begin fathoming what his superior wanted with them. His superior never told him, either, said it wasn't his business, and since he had no clout to speak of, he did as he's ordered.

When the node went off, it was his duty retrieving it, probably punishment for questioning Masa's authority, Mantanga didn't know, but he knows that his fellow scientists' innocent in this debacle.

They only came here to study, they didn't want trouble, they're ill equipped defending themselves, their government won't even spare them a rickety stun gun.

It made Theodore curious why Masa ordered Shale and Melia captured, how it tied into the supposed message that Masa's supposed to give.

None of this made any sense, but he believed Mantanga. The Sontaran didn't even have a self-detonating bomb implanted into his suit, his scanner harmless that it'll pick up even the slightest microwave frequency, hardly the soldier with a complex.

Speaking of the scanner Theodore picked up from the ground, he decided to make use of it, rewiring it, allowing Al finding them without issue, since the ship didn't have any trackers or anything usable.

"Yeesh, they really didn't get much help from their government," Al commented that he didn't find anything he could've used helping them find the ship much less broach it by using a faulty security.

He's fortunate that he gotten into an email.

It's like comparing a 1986 Corvette to a 2006 Corvette.

Without his eyes and only the scanner his guidance, Al says he can't help much on finding the missing Shale and Melia.

"All's fine, you know where we are, that's good enough. I need you at the ready in case anything happens," Theodore tells Al and the TARDIS responded that it's his job. If anything happens to Theodore, well, he'd fail his one job, and he can't have that. He promised.

"No security systems at all, most peculiar," Liliana's perturbed that there's nothing on the ship suggesting it has anything as simple as a scanner indicting whether the habitants were Sontaran.
