☆ Smile ☆ Part 2

The Doctor takes out a pendant from his pocket and opens it. It contains a hologram of a happy waving boy. Then he sees one of the little robots.

"Ah! Good morning! I'm happy! Good morning. Look at me, I'm happy, happy, happy, happy! What a lovely day, beautiful morning, it makes me so happy. I'm happy. I hope that you are happy, too. See? Happy," the robots face turns to happy and it walks past. The Doctor uses the comms device in his ear as he walks towards some stairs.

"Hello? Is someone there? I can hear you breathing,"

"Why are you Scottish?" Bill asks walking behind him with {Y/n} following tow. The Doctor scrunches his eyes for a brief moment before turning to them.

"I'm not Scottish, I'm just cross," he replies grabbing Bill's arm.

"Is there a Scotland in space?"

"They're all over the place, demanding independence from every planet that they land on. Why are you here?"

"Because I figured out why you keep your box as a phone box,"

"I told you, it's stuck,"

"Advice we and Assistance Obtainable Immediately. You like that,"

"No, I don't,"

"See, this is the point. You don't call the helpline because you are the helpline,"

"Don't sentimentalised me. I don't just fly around helping people out,"

"Doctor, that's exactly what you do," {Y/n} blurts out behind him.

"No, I'm just passing by," the Doctor argued.

"You've never passed by in your life. Or at least for that time I've been with you. You couldn't even leave Bill to serve chips. Now she isn't gonna leave you alone," {Y/n} smirks.

"Look at the wall," the Doctor says.

"The wall?"

"Closely. Before, when the Vardy, the little micro it's were going to attack you, you asked where they came from. Well, they didn't come from anywhere. They were here all the time,"

"What? In the wall?"

"No, not in the wall. They're not in the wall, they are the wall" the Doctor sonics the wall to reveal its made of tiny little blocks "they're all the walls. These little robots, they didn't build this place, they became it. They can be a part of a wall one minute, flying around the next. This whole structure is built from interlocking microbots. Smile! You're in the belly of the beast,"

"So, what do we do?"

"Well, the obvious. We fine a real wall. Oh, you really are smiling, aren't you?"

"Do you know why? Your an awesome tutor,"

The three are walking along a curved passageway.

"When the vikings invaded, they used to pull their longboats out of the water, turn them upside down and live in them as houses until they'd pillaged and looted enough to build new ones," the Doctor says.

"So?" Bill asks.

"You didn't see a spaceship outside, did you? When the settlers first landed, they must have lived in it and built out from it, so it's still here, somewhere inside this building. Ah. Bits of meteor damage. Flecks of rust. Rivets. Oh, I love rivets. A wall. A real, honest wall. Not made of tiny robots but made of old iron,"

"Every spacecraft needs a door" Bill pulls at the handle but to no avail, it doesn't open. The Doctor presses a button and it opens.

"Not even locked. They were expecting to live in peace,"
