Dinosaurs on a Spaceship [Part 3]

Inside, Spaceship, Lab...

Sky, Amy, Nefertiti and Riddell found another room overgrown with plants and vines.

"Bit of weed killer wouldn't go amiss in here." Amy commented.

"Whoever was running this vessel left in a hurry." Riddell noted.

"Maybe a plague came and took them." Nefertiti guessed.

"No, there'd be corpses and bones."

"Unless the animals ate them."

"Wow, you're cheery ones." Sky rolled his eyes before spotting computer.

He grinned before pulling out his sonic screwdriver and activating it, an orange light emitting from it as he scanned the controls of the computer and pressed a few buttons, making the machine hum to life and the lights around the room come on as well.

"How did you know how to do that?" Nefertiti asked him.

"I've grown up my whole life learning a lot of different things." Sky spoke as he put his sonic screwdriver back inside his jacket. "One of those things being: When you enter somewhere new, press buttons."

"What else have you learned?" Neffy enquired.

"Don't stop at button-pressing." He grinned, finding a small sphere before placing it on a tray and inserting it into the computer.

There was audio, but no picture.

"'One hundred and seventeen years...'" A voice spoke on the monitor as it continued to display static.

"Data records." Amy laughed giddily as she came to stand next to Sky.

"Ship's owners?" Riddell questioned.

"Could be." Sky shrugged. "Come on, help us out..."

Amy then pressed a few more keys herself.

"'..will remain cryogenic...'"

Riddell suddenly heard a muted roar and aimed his torch to the corridor where he saw a shadow.

"'..space sleep... I will continue to work...'"

"How about a picture?" Sky asked the computer.

"Come on, for us?" Amy tapped the screen.

"'..far beyond our mapping...'"

Sky sighed, slapping the side of the computer which did make a picture slowly come into focus.

"Look!" Nefertiti exclaimed, pointing at the screen. "It's beautiful."

Onscreen appeared a male Silurian elder.

"'I can't tell how far we have come.'" He spoke as he appeared on the screen. "'Far enough to avoid the destructive impact forecast for our planet. Far enough for me to feel a profound sense of loss.'"

"What is that?" Riddell asked as he took in the sight of the male Silurian on the screen.

Sky smirked, not taking his eyes off the computer.

"Silurian."

Inside, Spaceship, Corridor...

The Doctor, Lexi, Rory and Brian were now walking down the corridor ahead of the robots.

"You're going straight on the naughty step!" One of the robots told them.

"What's the escape plan?" Brian whispered out of the side of his mouth.
