The hologram presents a danger signal in the same area as the unidentified. The systems begin bleeping and the ship shakes erratically, the crew falling around a little.
Captain Chen:
What was that?
Summer:
Hang on!
Bridget:
That thing has just broken some circuits in a compartment near the reactor!
Dale:
We've got to get after it. Before it does any more damage.
Bridget:
Damage isn't too severe it seems.
Tegan:
Run a full check on the systems, we can't take any risks here.
The ship begins rising over at a sun, gleaming with a magnificent ray, shining down brightly on the crew.
Dennis:
Well, a sight of a rising sun never gets old!
Captain Chen:
SHUT UP, BOY!
Summer:
Sir, we have a problem.
Captain Chen:
WHAT!
Summer:
We can't turn her around. She isn't turning!
Captain Chen:
What do you mean?
Bridget:
That we can't avoid the sun! We're on a collision course for the sun!
The ship zooms towards the sun, flying directly towards the core.
Captain Chen:
Ok. We're going to need everyone to stop that thing and get the ship away from that sun! Everyone to the reactor. And that includes you, Doctor. And your friends. You too Bridget. Summer, you stay and try to pull her out.
Tegan:
I'm staying here!
Captain Chen:
You're coming with us!
Doctor:
Tegan is an air hostess, she knows what she is dealing with!
Captain Chen:
Alright. Everyone else, QUICK!
Everyone except the Doctor, Tegan and Summer rush out, running down the corridors speedily to get to the other side of the ship.
Tegan:
But Doctor, I don't know how to fly this ship!
Doctor:
Brave heart, Tegan!
The Doctor runs down the corridor to join the others.
Summer:
Come on, Tegan. You can help me keep her steady!
Tegan:
That's something I can do. At least the others can keep slightly cooler as we have the rays directly on us.
She climbs into the chair and holds the wheel to guide her out to the right as Summer does, only nothing really happens.
Summer:
And we get burnt. So, you're an air hostess.
Tegan:
Yes. It certainly comes in handy in times like this.
Summer:
Well the Doctor seems to know what he is doing. That's why I like and trust him.
Tegan:
Good.
Summer:
I assume he is obviously a sponsor of celery from the planet Moserfly.
Tegan:
More like a survival tool for the Doctor.
Summer:
And he is probably part of the inter-galactic championship of cricket.
Tegan:
He is good at cricket. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually was. For both!
They laugh.
Summer:
Well, we're about to crash into the sun and here we are teasing about the Doctor!
Tegan:
Better get used to it!
They zoom further, rapidly closer!
