Jefferson commands, "Open fire!" as he and the guard unleash a barrage of bullets at the advancing Ood.

Zach breathes a sigh of relief.
"We're stabilizing," he notes, as the overhead shutters steadily close, "We've got orbit."

Rose dashes to the communicator, her grip tightening until her knuckles turn white.
"Doctor? Doctor, can you hear me? Doctor, Ida, are you there?" she calls out, her voice tinged with desperation.
'Rose is panicking; give me a message,' the Alchemist communicates silently.
"Open door 25," the computer announces.
Jefferson and the guard ready their weapons, anticipating the incoming threat.
"It's me and Laura!" Danny's voice echoes urgently, "But they're coming."
The pair rush in, setting the door to shut behind them.
"Close door 25."
"It's the Ood. They've gone mad!" Danny exclaims, his face pale with fear.
'Tell her, I don't know, uh... Banana pancakes!' the Doctor suggests silently.
"How many of them?" Jefferson demands, his tone sharp.
"All of them! All fifty!" Danny shouts, his eyes wide.
"Danny, out of the way. Out of the way!" Jefferson yells, initiating the process to open the door.
"Open door 25," the computer intones.
"No!" the Alchemist shouts, sprinting over to override the command.
"Close door 25."
"We need to take out the Ood!" Jefferson growls, frustration evident.
The Alchemist sonics the door locked, her expression stern.
She glares at the man, "They're long dead, and we need another way to get to them. They'll be using the interface device as a weapon now. That stupid ball has enough power in it to short-circuit a human brain."
He steps back, concern etched on his face, and nods.
"I'm going to seal the doors," he informs her, determination in his voice.
The Time Lady nods in agreement.
"Seal door 25."
"Rose Tyler!" the Alchemist shouts over, her voice commanding.
Rose turns to her, glaring, "What?"
"Banana pancakes," the Alchemist says, rolling her eyes in annoyance.
Rose purses her lips but nods, while the others look on in amused confusion.
[Corridor]
Zach opens the door and steps outside.
"Close door 1."
Zach sees an Ood coming towards him and rushes to get the door back open.
"Open door 1."
[Control room]
"Close door 1," the computer confirms.
"Lockdown. Seal door 1," Zach orders.
