The Doctor chucked yet another useless lump of metal over his shoulder. 

"It was here-I saw it..." he muttered to himself as he searched through The Judoons pile of remenants of his ships technology.

"AHAHAHA!!" He almost dived to the floor as he spotted exactly what he needed.

He slid on his glasses and scanned the object with is sonic holding it up to what little light there was in the abandoned warehouse. he sound of rain on the metal roof was nearly deafening. 

He grabbed a few wires pulling them out from the parts they were stuck under, touching the tips of frayed wire to his tongue until he exclaimed "oh!" meaning he'd found a wire with some power. He followed it down and removed all the hunks and scraps covering a small power battery, most likely the reserve battery for the main power. He dragged this out and carefully threaded it into the back of the small machiene he held in his other hand. 

"Okay Judoon....let's see what we have here..."

Hastily he slipped the sim-card type oject with the flashing green light into a thin slot on the side of the bowl shaped object. 

He waited. 

Nothing happened.

He shook it.

Nothing happend.

He buzzed it with his sonic and it made a flat, defiant bleep.

"ohh." The Doctor pulled the sim card object out and replacing it again. The machiene gave the same flat bleep

Officer Jorn wrenched the object out of the Doctors hands impaitently and with dificulty removed the sim card, turned it around and replaced it. The plate gave a green static shimmer in the middle of it's concave surface and flickered as a shape formed.

"I knew that!" The Doctor mumbled taking it back off the Judoon. "I was just....testing."

Jorn grunted disbelievingly.

"I did!" 

They both turned thier attention back to the dish. Inside it now stood a 3D figure made of green light.  The culprit was humaniod. A tall, slim figure wearing a hooded cloak. The face obscured by the shadow of the hood.

The Doctor held the bowl closer to his face at eye level. Staring at it intensely, trying to find some clue as to who this culprit could possibly be. 

Officer Jorns hand swiped across the image angrily.

A monotone voice began to recite in Judoon as text replaced the image of the culprit.

The Doctor sighed. The Judoon didn't really have very much to go on. But what he HAD gathered is this culprit was a rogue trader, wanted for several 'transacrions' deemed illegal. This Culprit-although 'unitendified' his or her self had been traced from the other side of universe carrying Illegal cargo-the Yulpee eggs- to earth. It seemed someone had hired him to do so.

The doctor set down the bowl like machiene. 

"RIGHT!" He clapped his hands together "Jorn-New plan!"

The distressed Yulpee had managed to shake itself free of the Banana stuck to the end of it's sharp tongue but had now managed to step on it and whilst flaining it's legs around wildly got smushed Banana all over it's face. It shrieked as it jerked from side to side crashing into cars and slipping around on the wet road.

Kitty watched as another Yulpee flew towards it. Landing nearby and hesitantly walking forwards. reaching out it's long feathery feelers to touch the face of it's distressed family memeber. It recoiled, sesning the banana smeared all over it but kept trying to seemingly comfort the other Yulpee with low chirps and stroking it's wings with it's legs. 

The distressed Yulpee crashed heavily intoa lampost leaving it slightly bent and the door of it's base hanging open crookedly. The lampost began to flicker rapidly and an electrical cackle came from the base.

The other yulpee suddenly became intensely interested in the lampost, trying to climb onto it and touching the light with it's feelers enthusiastically. 

The buzzing stopped and the Yulpee went back to trying to comfort it's companion.

"Huh....." Kitty said to herself. "it's worth a shot."

She sneaked over to the lampost, sliding her sonic pen out from it's hiding spot in a strap above her sock and putting it to its maximum she crept closer to the lampost. She took a deep breath as she aimed her sonic closely to the wires inside the base. 

As soon as she pressed, the lamposts light grew painfully bright with the surge of energy and a low buzz emitted from the base. 

Both of the Yulpee this time scuttled quickly toward the lampost excitedly. 

"Like a moth to a flame!" Kitty grinned before she sharply dropped her sonic and cried "ouch!!" 

the Bulb in the lampost had burnt itself out with the energy and the light died slowly giving her a sort of static-or sonic- shock. 

The Yulpee had now noticed her instead.

"Back off!" She said, grabbing her sonic back off the floor..."I have Bananas!" 

The banana smeared yulpee looked at her with it's head roatating side to side. As if considering it's options. The other Yulpee lunged forward and Kitty held out another Banana she had stuffed into her back pocket. The banana smeared Yulpee shreiked and took off in a flurry of panicked flaps. The new arrival hesistaed before decided it was best to follow it' companion and joined it in it's escape.

"I need a bigger bulb...." Kitty thought to herself outloud. she looked around her as tried to form a plan. Then like a beacon of hope she saw it. The Telecom tower! She could just see the top of it from here-she quickly pondered her options as she saw the cloud of Yulpee swarming in the dark sky slightly illuminated by their abdomens lightly glowing blue, like giant fireflies. They were circling slowly but in a momet they became a avalanche of bodies soaring downwards-more victims lined up to quench thier insatiable thirst. 

Like all the best descicions she made, she didn;t even think about it before running towards where they were headed. Sonic grpped tightl in her hand.
