Dinosaurs on a Spaceship [Part 2]

Inside, Spaceship, Corridor...

Everyone was rushing down the corridor - Nefertiti, Brian and Rory were in the front with Riddell covering them with his gun as Sky, Lexi, Amy and the Doctor caught up with them.

"In here!" Nefertiti shouted as she spotted an opening to the side that was too narrow for the dinosaurs.

They all ducked into the niche, the Doctor sliding to a stop. He put a finger to his lips, telling everyone to stay quiet.

The dinosaurs roared and thudded as they stomped down the corridor.

Riddell took out a large knife as the two dinosaurs came to just outside of where everyone was hiding.

"I could take one of them." He whispered. "Short blow, up into the throat."

"Or not." The Doctor whispered back. "We've just found dinosaurs, in space. We need to preserve them."

"And who's gonna preserve us?!" Riddell whisper-shouted.

"Will you both be quiet?" Lexi whispered, rolling her eyes as she and Amy stood between them.

They all remained quiet and still as the dinosaurs continued down the corridor, their swinging tails knocking loose masonry from the walls.

"Okay, so, how?" Rory asked as they all creeped back into the corridor. "And whose ship?"

"There's so much to discover." The Doctor said, shrugging. "Think how much wiser we'll be by the end of all this."

"Sorry. Sorry." Brian spoke up. "Are you saying dinosaurs are flying a spaceship?"

"Brian, please! That would be ridiculous." The Doctor replied. "They're probably just passengers. Did I mention missiles?"

"Missiles?!" Brian's eyes widened.

Rory and the Doctor motioned him to keep quiet.

"Didn't want to worry you." The Doctor whispered. "Anyway, six hours is a lifetime... not literally a lifetime, that's what we're trying to avoid. And we're all really clever! Let's see what we can find out."

"So, you're pregnant with me and Jupe?" Sky asked Lexi quietly as they walked.

"Yeah." She nodded. "Why?"

"It's just, where I just came from, none of you knew who I really was." He informed. "It's nice to not have to stay quiet about it."

Lexi smiled softly at him. "I can't really imagine what that must've felt like."

"At least we know here, in this moment, who you are." The Doctor spoke up, suddenly appearing almost out of nowhere, putting an arm around their shoulders. He grinned at them before grabbing Lexi's hand and pulling her along. "Come on."

They soon spotted a room filled with banks of equipment overgrown with vines and covered in spiderwebs.

Inside, Spaceship, Computer room...

The Doctor and Lexi pulled some webs from the face of the screen.

"Eugh!" They grumbled, Lexi wiping her hand free of the cobwebs on Rory's clothes with the Doctor doing the same thing to Brian.

"How many dinosaurs do you think are on here?" Amy wondered out loud.

The Doctor used the sonic on the computer, making the screen come to life as Lexi and Rory stood to his right while Brian stood to his left as they all looked at the screen.
