{Dalek Part one of two}

The trio had now gathered back into the console room, as they had been alerted that they had landed somewhere. "So what is it? What's wrong?" Maia looked at the Doctor as Rose spoke, awaiting his answer to the blonde's question.

The elder time lord shrugged, "Don't know. Some signal drawing the Tardis off course."

Grey snorted at the answer his grandfather gave, Maia also looked amused, "and where are we then?"

The Doctor looked at the brunette, "Earth. Utah, North America. About half a mile underground."

Maia nodded as Rose added to what she had said, "and when are we?"

Grey having seen the scanner once they had landed grinned at the blonde, "Two thousand and twelve."

Rose breathed out in surprise, as the Doctor looked at a display case, "God, that's so close. So I should be twenty-six."

The Doctor finds the light switch, and things become clearer. The group of four looks around the room that is now lit up. "Blimey. It's a great big museum," the blonde says.

Something about this place was putting Maia on edge, the brunette couldn't help but shudder slightly Grey noticed his sister's unease, "you okay Maia?" he spoke quietly to her.

She looked at him, "Something about this place is putting me on edge is all, so be prepared for something bad to happen, because it always does when I get these feelings."

Grey nodded at her, "I'll keep that in mind."

Maia gave him a nod, "you definitely should."

"An alien museum. Someone's got a hobby. They must have spent a fortune on this. Chunks of meteorite, Moon dust. That's the milometer from the Roswell spaceship." The doctor said.

Rose also took notice of Maia's tense shoulders she mouthed 'are you okay?'

Maia shrugged and mouthed, 'I don't like this place' back and Rose nodded at her.

Then the blonde noticed something in one of the cases, "That's a bit of Slitheen! That's a Slitheen's arm. It's been stuffed."

Maia shuddered again, there was something very wrong with this place, her senses were going crazy it seemed, "maybe we should just leave... I don't like this place, something about it is putting me on edge and almost sending my senses haywire, something horrible is going on here and I don't like this feeling."

The doctor looked at her for a moment considering it until he remembered that a call for help was what had drawn them here to start with... "Something here is calling for help and we can't just ignore that Maia, it'll be all right."

Maia bit her lip, she knew that he wouldn't change his mind about this so she sighed, "I don't like this..."

The Doctor gave the brunette a look, "It will be fine Maia, just a quick look around to find the signal." the brunette reluctantly nodded at him, realizing that she wouldn't budge him on this. The Doctor looked around the room again, "Oh, look at you."

Rose looked curious, " What is it?" it was the head of a Cyberman.

"An old friend of mine. Well, enemy. The stuff of nightmares reduced to an exhibit. I'm getting old." was what the Doctor told her.

"Is that where the signal's coming from?" questioned the blonde human.

The doctor shook his head, "No, it's stone dead. The signal's alive. Something's reaching out, calling for help." The Doctor touches the display case and an alarm goes off. Armed guards rush in from all sides and cut them off from the Tardis.
