The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

Under the Sea Pt. 4

Hearing the recordings mention Rupert Malone and how he's responsible for something done to Kenna, made the two share a look, and they learnt that the servants of Sanctuary indeed weren't human, which gave context for the strange port on the side of the door, but they don't know what the servants were, yet.

Must be robotic, considering what Isley said about them not reacting to the insults and Mrs. Martini throwing a martini at one, and the port on the side of the door.

Made sense for Rupert Malone having robotic servants, the thought of working people in his underwater city might've clashed with his vision of the perfect sanctuary, not to mention the people living here refusing the idea outright.

With robotic servants, he wouldn't worry about it clashing against his vision, it'd amplify it, rather, that they're in the namesake Sanctuary, since they're not tended by human servants. The lesser. They're tended by the robotic servants. Faceless, emotionless, not tied to any class.

Perfect for the abuse by the residents of Sanctuary that wouldn't risk rebellion by the human servants. Less drama, as it were.

Though, while they have that going for them, the fact of the matter's Joey Mussolini and his nine wives.

Isley said it herself, there weren't laws against polygamy, and the women weren't unhappy until Rupert Malone forcibly dissolved their marriage to Joey Mussolini.

From the sound of things, Rupert Malone had him beaten for causing problems in Sanctuary and presumably, locked nine women into marriages they didn't want, just to satisfy the nine men who raised complaints against Joey Mussolini.

Theodore hedged they'll find similar tape recorders from the nine wives and they'll have some choice words lodged against Rupert Malone.

In all, about three hours into this adventure, and it's looking more like human nature as the root of the discord.

It's painting a picture at what kind of place Sanctuary really was when it was in its prime and neither Theodore or Lila wanted to see the completed work, because they knew what'll mean for them.

"Come along, Lee," Theodore sighed as he motioned for Lila joining his side as they left the home, going towards another one, trying to find other clues about what went on in Sanctuary.

This one, despite Theodore's attempt, showed nothing but a caved in room, the ceiling gave due to the weight of the barnacles growing, and they're pushed onward, until they found a detailed map of the residences.

Looking at it closely, they found Kenna and a man called Louis's home, which they followed the map, attempting to find out from Kenna's perspective, what happened when she disappeared.

The hallway's uncomfortably cold, not damp, explaining the lack of barnacles, and they found the home in impeded, with the twist of his wrist, Theodore opened the door for them.

Inside, the mood swiftly changed, it felt colder inside the Montague home than it did out in the hallway, there's broken plates on the ground, ceramic, a large broken vase tossed against the wall with enough strength shattering it into pieces.

There's a destroyed standing record player with a broken record shattered into pieces on the ground, the refrigerator doors unhinged, exposing gone-off bottles of beer.

Broken bottles of the beer laid on the ground in front of the refrigerator, likely fallen out after someone removed the doors from their hinges forcibly.

There's shattered picture frames on the ground, either fell off or knocked off, and as Theodore and Lila cautiously investigated the den, it showed damages long before the fall of Sanctuary.
