Entering the TARDIS, Theodore went to the console, K9 trailing behind him as he readied the link while Hammond stood around, glimpsing at the sight of the console room, only hearing stories of it, never entering it until now, as he hadn't the opportunity or chance to step inside his late father's prized possession.

Seeing it, it stirred something within Hammond unseen by anyone, as he quietly awed to himself, while K9's linked to the TARDIS by Theodore.

"Al, do you copy?" Theodore calls out for him and he appeared beside Theodore, wearing his unusual outfit, mirroring the actor's costume on the show, causing a stir in Hammond as he's befuddled at the sight.

He questioned Al and Theodore summed that it's the TARDIS's avatar.

"Why on earth are you an actor?" Hammond questioned the TARDIS's choice and Al admitted that it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Noticing K9, Al's less than thrilled having it inside the console room, but Theodore tells him of what transpired, and his view on K9 softened.

"K9, send information," Hammond directed the command to K9 and it sent the collected information to Al, his eyes moving like he's reading something unseen, before he says he got everything he can from the connection.

His eyes moving back and forth, Al says that he sees there's an unusual disturbance, a murmur, something he wouldn't have noticed hadn't Hammond and Theodore said something.

Going through his archives, he doesn't see it coming from the usuals, none that stood out wanting to kidnap a young girl.

"It's as artificial as strawberry flavor, but I got something. It needed to be fed with energy from the home universe to power it to get here, it was enough to get back, but there's still residues, I can match it with my records, boom, we got a stew going," Al tells them what he got from using the data from K9.

In moments, he got a hit, spouting that he found a match, and he's starting the engines.

The TARDIS sprung alive, Al disappearing, and when the engines ceased, the brothers and K9 went to the door, Theodore opening it and poking his head out first, seeing they've landed on a reddish grassy knoll.

His icy blue eyes blinking, Theodore glanced around, not immediately Seeing anything, and as he looked, K9 moved past him, in a mechanical voice, it called out, "Subject detected!"

Stepping out of the TARDIS with Hammond following him, closing the door behind them, Theodore followed K9, his scarf fluttering in the breeze.

Guiding them with its antenna tail slowly rotating, K9 calculated their arrival time, while Theodore and Hammond conversed as they followed.

"If they took Dorothy, there's a chance they might've taken others," Theodore deduced that Dorothy wasn't a one-time case, that they'll expect to find others in her situation, and Hammond agreed with his deduction.

They'd arrive on a long dirt path, looking at it, they found that it's heavily traveled, both by foot and vehicle, and K9 led through in the direction the prints went, a cold breeze passed them by, as they neared, they see something in the distance, a colourful tent.

The closer they got, the more detailed and bigger the tent looked, and concluded it as a circus tent.

"A little far for a circus tent, don't you think?" Theodore looked towards his brother as his brown eyes narrowed on the sight of the large tent.

K9 insisted it's picking up traces of Dorothy from the tent and Hammond wasted no time marching ahead, but not before Theodore stopped him.

Curious, Theodore asks, "What do you plan on doing when you get there, dear brother?"
