(*THIRD PERSON POV*)

"All this stuff we've been building. All this invention. Where's it been heading? Gravity densifiers, hydroponics, atmospheric conversion, ecoshells. More then enough to build a brand new world." Luke says proudly to his students

"Luke, we haven't got time for this. I've got to find my parents." A young man says as they all stand outside and watch as London chokes to death

"Oh, but this isn't just theory. I'm talking Planetfall, for all of us. A brand new start for a brand new human race. Look. A new world, far out, beyond Alpha Geminorum, just waiting for us. Its official destination is Castor Thirty Six. I think of it as Earth Point Two. I did wonder about Rattigan's World, but we can take a vote on that."

"What the hell are you on about?"

"This is where we're going. I have partners willing to take us there."

"Oh, he's lost it. I haven't got time for this." A young girls huffs as she starts to walk away

"Excuse me, I haven't finished. Where are you going?" Luke says rudely

"To find my brother." She continues

"I didn't say you could leave."

"I told him to put ATMOS is his car. I've got to go and help him." She says in worry as Rattigan takes a gun from his belt.

"Stay where you are."

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Luke, put that down."

"But, I did this for you, don't you see? We've spent all our lives excluded. The clever ones. They've laughed at us and pulled us down, those ordinary people out there. Those cattle. This is our chance to leave them behind."

"You mean you want them dead?"

"And I chose you to survive. With Planetfall we can start again. We can build and breed, we can prosper, we can do anything."

"We're going to breed?" The young girl says in disgust to Luke's insane idea

"I've designed a mating program. I've planned the whole thing."

"Well then, shoot me."

"Stay where you are. Stay where you are, I said. Stay where you are." Luke shouts but the girl leaves, and other students follow her.
"Stay where you are. That's an order!" Rattigan is left alone.
"I guess that just proves it. I'm cleverer then you. I'm cleverer then everyone, do you hear me? I'm clever!"

I was with the Doctor and I stood by his side while he read off of Martha's clipboard.

"There's carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, but ten percent unidentified. Some sort of artificial heavy element we can't trace. You ever seen anything like it?" She asked him

"It must be something the Sontarans invented. This isn't just poison. They need this gas for something else. What could that be?" The Doctor thinks

"Launch grid online and active." Captain Price tells us

"Positions, ladies and gentlemen, Defcon One initiatives in progress."

"What? I told you not to launch." The Doctor says in surprise

"The gas is at sixty percent density. Eighty percent and people start dying, Doctor. We've got no choice." Mace says and I sigh heavily

"Launching in sixty, fifty nine, fifty eight, fifty seven, fifty six. Worldwide nuclear grid now coordinating. Fifty four, fifty three—"
