"There it is. Hey, they've got Algy on duty. It must be important." Jack said.

"We've got to get past him."

"Are the words distract the guard heading in my general direction?" Rose smirked.

"I don't think that'd be such a good idea." The Rebel warned. "Don't worry I can handle it." Rose said proudly. Her confidence had been boosted a little too much since she saw how confident the past Rebel was. And, a little down, Rose was just jealous.

"I've got to know Algy quite well since I've been in town. Trust me, you're not his type. I'll distract him. Don't wait up." Jack rolled his eyes at Rose, and headed down to his colleague.

"Relax, he's a fifty first century guy. He's just a bit more flexible when it comes to dancing." The past Rebel smirked, arms crossed.

"How flexible?" Rose inquired.

"Well, by his time, you lot have spread out across half the galaxy." The past Rebel led on.

"Meaning?" Rose turned her head to the side. "So many species, so little time." The Rebel's said together. The Rebel rolled her eyes slightly joking, while her past self was completely serious and rigid.

"What, that's what we do when we get out there? That's our mission? We seek new life, and, and-" Rose stuttered.

"Dance." The Doctor shuddered.

"Hey, tiger. How's it hanging?" Jack laughed to Algy.
"Mummy?" Algy asked confused. "Algy, old sport, it's me." Jack insisted, a bit off. "Mummy?" He repeated. "It's me, Jack." Jack put out his hands to jester to himself. "Jack? Are you my mummy?" Algy asked before retching, then fell to his knees before his face turned into a gas mask. Rose, the Rebels, and Doctor ran forward from the sidings.

"Stay back!" The Doctor shouted. "You men, stay away!" Jack ordered to men. Ally was laying down on some tent pieces, unconscious. "The effect's become air-borne, accelerating." The Doctor told the group.

The air raid sirens started up.

"What's keeping us safe?" Rose asked fearfully.

"Nothing." The Doctor said sadly.

"Ah, here they come again." Jack looked at the sky.

"All we need. Didn't you say a bomb was going to land here?" The Rebel asked.

"Never mind about that. If the contaminants airborne now, there's hours left." The past Rebel corrected.

"For what?" Jack asked.

"Till nothing, forever. For the entire human race. And can anyone else hear singing?" The Doctor asked.

"Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree tops..." Flores through the cold air.

Jenkins had fully transformed and slumped across the table. "When the wind blows, the cradle will rock. When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall. Down will come baby, cradle and all." Nancy's voice cracked.

The Doctor entered and gestures to her to keep singing, leaving everyone outside. The Rebel peeked from behind him, and gasped when her eyes landed on the scene.

"Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree tops. When the wind blows the cradle will rock." The Doctor snuck into the room and took off Nancy's handcuffs, all while she kept singing the lullaby. The Rebel's ushered them outside with her hands and slowly closed the doors, and locked them with her pen.
