The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

Under the Sea Pt. 5

When the tape finally ended, there's a shared look between Theodore and Lila as they stood quietly while they stared at the tape recorder.

With the last of his strength, Joey Mussolini talked about the servants turning against their handlers, barking orders, and weren't manmade like initially thought.

Richard Simms' name etched into their minds, the duo has their next lead, and hoping that when they find his home, they'll be able to learn more about the servants and what exactly went on in Sanctuary during the heyday before the downfall.

"I have a bad feeling about this," Lila voiced her concern as she joined Theodore's sighed as they left Joey Mussolini's home, after learning what they needed to go from there, and Theodore shared her concerns as he added that the description of electrical burns bothered him.

They haven't come across anyone alive and with what Joey Mussolini said about the servants, there's a good chance they won't.

Causing Lila questioning what happened at the theatre they arrived in, there weren't any electrical burns on the walls, bullet holes, and the way they spread across the wall led her to believe the shooter or shooters panicked as they opened fire on whatever or whoever.

Theodore theorized that there was pushback from the residents against the growing disobedience in the servants, they attempted at shooting them, but for whatever reason, didn't succeed.

What happened to the residents after, they don't know for sure, either the servants killed them, or they must keep looking for answers.

"Not manmade," Theodore echoed what Joey Mussolini said as he shoved his large hands into his stitched pockets, as he walked with Lila while looking for Richard Simms' home.

Adding to the pile of questions, it made Theodore curious, and he harkened back to what Gerald said.

Maybe it wasn't just submarines and divers the octopus saw.

Chewing on his inner lip, Theodore pondered to himself as they searched for Richard Simms' home, but didn't find it, they've looked up and down, checked the map more than once, but no home registered to a Richard Simms.

Not even Dick Simms, either.

None of it made sense and they couldn't spend time checking every home they come across under the idea that Richard Simms lived under a different name.

Checking the map closely, Theodore suggested that Richard Simms didn't have a conventional home, if he's behind the servants, it would've made sense if he stayed close to them in the event he's needed for repairs.

It didn't say where the servants went when they're not catering to the elite, but that's expected when Rupert Malone's concerned about appearances.

Studying the map closely, Theodore sees there's inconsistencies among the map, like blank areas in between the districts.

Cogs turning in his head, Theodore deduced that the blank areas' their best chances at finding their answers.

No idea if there's any servants active still, since they haven't contacted them, but Theodore thinks they might've gone back to wherever Richard Simms kept them.

What they'll do then, well, both have their running shoes on, and Al's in better shape than he was 50 years ago, so that's something.

They would've run with the assumption that nobody's alive and they're only dealing with servants, if not for the intercom suddenly turning on overhead, and they hear a man talking.

"Good god, someone's still alive!" Theodore and Lila heard the man say on the intercom.

Glancing at each other, the two shrugged before Theodore spoke up, don't know what good it'll do, but it's worth trying.
