Dinosaurs on a Spaceship [Part 4]

Inside, Spaceship 2...

The robots escorted the Doctor, Lexi, Rory and Brian to the other ship. There seemed to be a gate barring the entrance to the ship.

"Love what you've done with the place down here." The Doctor commented, leaning forward.

"Let him in." A man from within the ship ordered. "Open the gate."

One of the robots then pressed a button, making the gate slide open and allowing the Doctor to walk through.

It immediately closed after him. Piano music could be heard playing softly.

Lexi gripped onto the gate, giving the Doctor a concerned look.

"It's fine. It's fine." He tried to reassure her, placing his hand on top of hers and giving it a reassuring squeeze before turning back around to walk further into the ship.

"He's not interested in YOU." One of the robots sassed.

"Look, I've just about had it with you." Lexi shot back, turning back around to look at the robot as she stepped up to it. "YOU need to learn some manners."

"No, YOU need to learn some manners!"

"No, YOU do!"

"No, YOU do!" The second robot sassed back. "Mrs. Manners!"

Inside, Spaceship 2, Infirmary...

The Doctor made his way to the bed on which lied an older man. There appeared to be cobwebs draped over the machinery.

"Fantasia in F Minor for four hands." The Doctor commented on the music that was playing.

"You know it." The older man noted.

"Know it?" The Doctor scoffed. "Say hello to hands three and four! Schubert kept tickling me to try and put me off. Franz the Hands. Oh, that takes me back." He then began to take a little walk around the space he now found himself in. "Well, this is... cozy."

"It's fate you came." The man told him.

"Is it?" The Doctor asked incredulously. "I'm the Doctor."

"Yes, I know." The man replied. "I'm Solomon."

The computer then beeped as the Doctor was scanned by a purple light.

"What's that?" The Doctor asked quickly, looking in the direction the light had come from.

"System malfunction, ignore it." Solomon told him, waving it off.

"What happened to you?" The Doctor asked him, taking in the appearance of the man and noting that it looked like his legs were badly damaged.

"I was attacked. Three raptors. They cornered me." Solomon informed him. "The robots rescued me, but it was nearly too late."

"Ah, yes. The robots." He nodded. "They're... unusual."

"I got them cheap, from a concession on Illyria Seven. The robots did as best they could with my legs, but... you can help me so much more."

"Oh, a 'doctor' doctor! I see." The Doctor said in realization before breathing on his hands. "Let's have a look." He then lifted the material away from the wounds.

"They chewed through part of the bone in my legs." Solomon told him.

"Yes, very nasty." The Doctor replied, slightly surprised at how bad the wounds actually were.

"But you can repair them."

The Doctor looked at Solomon. "If you tell me how you came by so many dinosaurs."
