The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

Shadow of A Doubt Pt. 1

The TARDIS materialized in a gloomy room somewhere in a nondescript building, on the edges of possibly, the world, out of the way, unseen, unheard.

Al picked up on a distress signal, that he called to Theodore for guidance, and intrigued, Theodore went with Lila in tow to the building that hadn't seen anyone in who knows how long, with it discreetly hidden, unless someone knew about its existence, won't realize it's there.

Perturbed why a distress signal gone out from a building that's intentionally hidden away, Theodore couldn't help himself wanting to satiate the curiosity.

Stepping out of the TARDIS first, wearing his brown-stitched long coat as he tugged on it, Theodore glanced around, looking at their new surroundings, seeing the gloomy room with hardly any light, from the look of things, they're in a storage closet.

Moving to the side, he sees Lila stepping out after him, glancing around the storage closet, curious as she sees it dimly lit.

"A storage closet, what will they think of next?" Lila poked fun the times they've ended up in storage closets during their myriad of adventures.

Shrugging his wide shoulders, Theodore responded that it's one of those things, and no one really checks the storage closets for the Doctor.

"You jinxed yourself," Lila warned him that it wasn't wise saying that aloud, he jinxed himself, and now he risks of the latest enemy looking in a storage closet for him.

As he sighs, Theodore commented it's their luck, anyhow, before going towards the door of the storage closet, opening with ease as Lila closed the TARDIS door behind her, before she joined him, and they stare at the dimly lit hallway in front of them, lined with closed doors, darkness in both directions.

Pondering their options, Theodore picked a direction for them to start with first, using a torchlight he borrowed from Lila, guiding them through the darker parts of the hallway, silence, their footsteps muddled by the laminated floors underneath, barely a sheen from the dim lights.

Al didn't find anything on the building, its purpose, or who even came to it, it's all in the wind, for the time being, though he's certain the distress signal came from here.

"What's the odds?" Lila asked Theodore what they're experiencing on this week's X-Files, with Theodore deducing they dealt with a mad scientist the other week, royalty snafus, Daleks, Cybermen, and so far, there isn't any sign this is a detention centre run by aliens that make the Judoon look reasonable, could still be a doozy, though.

"However, too early to tell, come, come," Theodore gestures as he walked with Lila as they went through the darkened hallway ahead, from the look of things, it seems that the building suffered from an outage and much of the building doesn't have full-power.

Doesn't appear like a short, burnt-out bulbs, someone not paying the electric bill, again, but odd, indeed.

Came across a research lab, doesn't appear like someone who's researching gene splicing, this time, but it wasn't a lab that pertained to science, well, the science that Theodore and Lila were known to recognize.

This one, it's unusual, and that's saying something!

It looked like a room for photography, complete with the trays of liquids, hanging photographs, but with whiteboards strewn everywhere, there's charts on some of them, denoting something that someone's keeping track.

His large hands in his stitched pockets, Theodore went over to the hanging photographs, curious what's on them, finding that they all depicted similar things, black and white photos with exposure terrible, he couldn't see the people this researcher or scientist, whoever, took off, they're black as the night in all of them.
