The screen resumed it said once upon a time Bel's story]
(Planet surface, a young woman is packing up camp in a ruined castle.)
BEL [OC]: What I learned in the immediate aftermath of the Flux seems obvious now, but it's only obvious once you've lived it. The biggest changes to our lives start small. Catastrophes creep in quietly, and by the time you realise, the life you once had is already behind you.
Is anyone else confused graham said reminding me of our first adventure in space together
(A Dalek patrol passes, hovering just off the muddy ground, the whole vent section moving not just the dome with the eye stalk.)
BEL [OC]: The Dalek Sector is growing. I thought I'd made it out, but they just keep spreading. Because since what some people keep calling the Beginning of the End, who is there left to stop them? Of course, I call it the Dalek Sector, I don't know for certain. But it helps me understand, because the maps definitely don't make any sense any more. Or the days.
(It suddenly goes dark as she runs through a wood.)
BEL [OC]: Everything is disrupted. But this isn't about Daleks. For once, they're not what worries me. At least we understand them. You and me, my love, we've fought them. It's the other things... whatever they are.
(A swarm of turquoise insects zap two people running across a clearing.)
BEL [OC]: Appearing from nowhere, feasting on the wreckage, coming for survivors of the Flux. I must admit, some days I feel like... they wanna to stop me from getting to you. But nothing is gonna stop me getting to you.
So the flux thing is like still ongoing bill said yep I said not offering anymore
[Inner Temple]

DOCTOR [OC]: I spend my life walking into new places and weighing things up fast. Who's who? Who has the power? Who's in danger? How fast danger is coming. Also, how likely my friends are to die.
Doctor I heard Amy say sadly
I've got good at figuring all of that out at speed.
AZURE: Three.
DOCTOR [OC]: Right now, big danger. No obvious solutions. Well, one solution, one massive risk.
SWARM: All in good time.
DOCTOR [OC]: You don't mess with Time. You don't put yourself and your friends in the midst of a Time Storm unless there's no alternative. John Burroughs once said to me, leap and the net will appear. He was talking metaphorically, whereas right now...
(The Doctor grabs Dan and shoves him onto one Mouri pedestal, while she gets on another and activates her sonic screwdriver.
I really hope you have a plan sweetie river said worriedly

[Time Storm]

DOCTOR: Oh! Ah! Ah! Oh! I'm sorry.
(Yasmin, Dan and Vinder are hanging there too.)
DOCTOR: I had to buy us Time. Literally. We're in the heart of the Time Storm, sheltering in broken Time while...
(Yasmin is sucked away.)
DOCTOR: No! Yaz!
(Then Dan.)
DOCTOR: Dan! Time is pulling you back. I'm coming to get you.
(And Vinder.)
DOCTOR: No!
(A Weeping Angel appears.)
DOCTOR: How did you get in here? Broken and disrupted Time. Everything is corrupted. I have to rescue them. No, not me as well. I have too much to do. Ah!
Oh my god raggedy man Amy said looking scared
[Planet Time]

(A building is demolished.)
VINDER: What's the update, boss?
DOCTOR: Trubial Monument is down. Only the central temple left. Where are the hostages?
VINDER: We don't know. No traces. The only information we have is five Passenger forms in main temple.
DOCTOR: Where are we on aerial?
DAN: Aerial shelling now complete. Should've weakened primary defences to give us a way in. Just give the word.
DOCTOR: Enough equipment remaining to breach the entrance?
YASMIN: You said come prepared. We also have temporal erasure options, should we require them.
DOCTOR: Where is this? Why...? What are you wearing?
DAN: Temporal hazing.
VINDER: Happens to the best of us.
DOCTOR: When is this?
(Yasmin jabs her with a hypo.)
DOCTOR: Ow! What did you do that for?
Should be use to being poked I mumbled making river laugh softly at me
DAN: She loves doing that.
VINDER: She so loves doing that.
YASMIN: I do love doing that. Should block the temporal hazing. You back with us? We need to get this job done and end the siege of Atropos.
DOCTOR: Atropos. That's where I found you. Tell Psy-Ops to alert the Mouri skeins - they should be on standby - and tell the fleet to ramp up second wave of aerial shelling. We all know why we're here. We rescue those hostages, end the siege, reset Time so the universe can function again. The only way in's through the front, risking our lives to save others'. The usual. On my command. The universe is relying on us.
Yeah I'm so confused rose said
