Lost In Translation

Forgotten

Amy:

I was so, so confused. Where were we? "Up. Look up."

Was that Lizzy? She shot something, didn't she? "Are you okay?"

That was definitely River, gotcha. "What happened?"

"We jumped."

That was not an answer, River. "Jumped where?"

Now the Doctor walked past. "Up. Up. Look up."

"Where are we?"

"Exactly where we were."

Stop answering in riddles, we were surrounded by Weeping Angels. "No, we're not."

"Wild Cat, move your feet."

Lizzy literally just lifted me off my feet instead of waiting for me to move. "Doctor, Lizzy, what am I looking at? Explain."

It was the Doctor, Lovely Lizzy doing stuff to the lights. "Oh, come on, Amy, think. The ship crashed with the power still on, yeah? So what else is still on?" Oh. Oh, we were literally dancing on the ceiling without our drinks being spiked. God, that was not fun, I was lucky that Rory and Mels had been there. "The artificial gravity. One good jump, with some help from my baby sissy, and up we fell. Bethy shot out the grav globe to give up an updraft, and here we are."

We still had Octavian and the Clerics, which was nice to see. "Professor, Doctor, the statues. They look more like Angels now."

"No duh, Octavian, they're feeding off the drive burn radiation, using it to restore themselves." Ah, the Lovely Lizzy, who adored tormenting people. "Within an hour, they'll be an army." Then snapped her fingers, opening a circular hatch, but the lights went bang. "That wasn't me, they're taking out the lights. Keep your eyes on the Angels, and get yourselves into the ship. Faster than this, people, we do not have the time for time wasters."

It was a sheer drop, Liz! "How?" She just dropped in, the Doctor and I rushing to catch her. "Elizabeth!"

She just looked at us, stood happily on the floor. Or wall. Whatever it actually was. "It's just a corridor. Brother, I wouldn't have jumped if I was incapable of handling the situation, I'm not you. The gravity is the same as the TARDIS, it just pulls us to the floor. Don't look away from the Angels, but get in here. Move, move, move."

We jumped in after, working a control panel from within as Octavian got in his men. "The Angels. Presumably they can jump too?"

The hatch closed, the Doctor directing us. "They're here, no. In the dark, we're finished. LizBeth, get a wriggle on." The circuit threw her out, a bulkhead starting to close. "Hey, they's not what I meant. Run!"

"This whole place is a death trap."

No one made it, Lizzy trying hard to drag it back open, only for it to dent instead. "Oh, no. This is a time bomb as well as a death trap. Doctor, stop panicking, it is not helping. I need to get up a map, I need to know what's through here to know if it's even worth it."

"It's the secondary flight deck, El."

Wait... "Okay, so we've basically run up the inside of a chimney, yeah? So what if the gravity fails?"

"We've thought about that. I throw you all up to the surface and then try and climb. Ow!" Something shocked her. "The security programmes are live, as is this panel. I can't override this, not before they'll get though."

"How impossible?"

There was a twinkle in Lizzy's eyes as she looked at River. They were so married in the future, because Lizzy so liked her. "Two minutes."
