"Excuse me. Hey, what was your name? Creet." I asked the little boy from earlier
"That's right, miss." He tells me
"Who are you with, Creet? You got family?"
"No, miss. There's just me." He says and I nod my head with a small smile
"Well, good luck. What do you think it's going to be like in Utopia?" I asked him
"My mum used to say the skies are made of diamonds." He says which makes me smile even more.
"Good for her. Go on, off you go. Get your seat." I say as Chantho and I leave and we make our way back to Yana's laboratory, when I walk inside I see that The Doctor is sniffing one of the wires.
"Is this?" He wonders to professor Yana
"Yes, gluten extract. Binds the neutralino map together." He tells him
"That's food. You've built this system out of food and string and staples? Professor Yana, you're a genius." The Doctor says
"Says the man who made it work."
"Oh, it's easy coming in at the end, but you're stellar. This is, this is magnificent. And I don't often say that because, well, because of me."
"Well, even my title is an affectation. There hasn't been such a thing as a university for over a thousand years. I've spent my life going from one refugee ship to another."
"If you'd been born in a different time, you'd be revered. I mean it. Throughout the galaxies."
"Oh, those damned galaxies. They had to go and collapse. Some admiration would have been nice. Yes, just a little, just once."
"Well, you've got it now. But that footprint engine thing. You can't activate it from onboard. It's got to be from here. You're staying behind."
"With Chantho. She won't leave without me. Simply refuses."
"You'd give your life so they could fly." I say
"Oh, I think I'm a little too old for Utopia. Time I had some sleep." He tells me
'Professor, tell the Doctor we've found his blue box.' The guard says over the intercom
"Ah!" The Doctor says with relief.
"Doctor?" Jack questions asked we see the TARDIS comes on the monitor.
"Professor, it's a wild stab in the dark, but I may just have found you a way out." The Doctor smiles at Yana, shortly after the guard told us about the TARDIS it arrived in the laboratory and the Doctor is dragging a power cable out of it.
"Extra power. Little bit of a cheat, but who's counting? Jack, you're in charge of the retro feeds." The Doctor tells Jack
"Connect those circuits into the spar, same as that last lot. But quicker." Jack orders me
"Yes, sir." I say as I go and help out.
"You don't have to keep working. We can handle it." The Doctor tells Yana
"It's just a headache. It's just, just noise inside my head, Doctor. Constant noise inside my head."
"What sort of noise?" Will asks him
"It's the sound of drums. More and more, as though it's getting closer."
"When did it start?"
"Oh, I've had it all my life. Every waking hour. Still, no rest for the wicked." Yana says as Chantho and I put circuit boards into a rack.
