Bang!

A rain of sparks flew over the Doctor and he quickly had to slide out of the way. "Wrong cable."

Sophie walked into the console room looking for the Doctor and went up to the console plactform. She frowned as she heard him cursing from below her and jumped of the console plactform to investigate. "Doctor? What are you doing?"

"Work."

Bang!

A second rain of sparks fell down over the Doctor and he was forced to jump out from under the plactform.

"Right," Sophie crossed her arms.

"What do you want?" The Doctor asked as he pulled out his sonic and scanned underneath the plactform.

"Well," Sophie winced at what she was about to say. "I'm bored."

The Doctor looked up and stared at her. "Bored?"

"Yeah," she looked at the console and then back at him. "I wanted to know when we're gonna land."

"Bored?" The Doctor was in disbelief. "You're on a time and space ship with infinite space to do things and you're bored-"

"Can you just tell me when we're gonna land?" Sophie insisted.

"You can't put a time on materialisation," the Doctor walked up onto the console plactform and stroked the levers and buttons. "Its a complicated process with an infinite amount of possible-"

The Doctor was interupted by a bleeping on the Tardis monitor. He went around to investigate. "Oh dear."

"What is it?" Sophie asked.

"Something has infiltrated the Tardis!" The Doctor exclaimed as he ran around the console, frantically flipping switches, levers and pressing buttons. "We're compromised!"

Zap!

Max was teleported to the console room and he fell to the ground. "Ow!"

"What happened there?" Sophie pointed at Max who slowly got to his feet.

"Emergency console teleportation," the Doctor explained. "Anyone who isnt in the console room already is teleported there."

Zap!

The three corridor exits to the console room dissapeared into the wall.

"What happened to the corridors?" Max pointed at the wall.

"Whatever has compromised the ship is probably not in the console room so I'm blocking us off from the rest of the ship," the Doctor stopped and smiled at them. "Just some precautions."

"What if the infiltration is in here?" Sophie bit her lip.

Bam!

An orange glass ball launched out of the console and the Doctor ran to catch it. "That will happen."

Max facepalmed. "So it is in here."

"Yeah," the Doctor sighed. "Yes it is."

"What's that ball?" Sophie asked as it lit up in the Doctors hand.

"A Fixen Orb," the Doctor pointed at a strange symbol on the orbs surface. "It will help me find what's compromised the ship."

Bang!

The console exploded loudly as they all felt the Tardis falling through the Vortex.

"Doctor!" Sophie screamed.

"Can you please shut up!?" The Doctor yelled over her high pitched scream as he moved to the console.

Then it all stopped and the Doctor examined the Tardis's reading.
