The four were still just standing around when Martha's phone started ringing.

"Phone!" The Doctor shouted. Galaxy ran and grabbed it before the Doctor could and she answered it. "Martha, you there?" She hesitated after hearing a beeping noise instead, "It's a signal!" She said. "Can we follow it?" Donna asked.

Galaxy handed the Doctor the phone which he put his stethoscope to, grinning. "Oh, just watch us!" He put the phone down in front of the monitor and pressed the stethoscope to it.

"Got it. Locking on!" The Doctor said after a while. Galaxy pulled on a lever which made the Tardis shudder, sending them flying as sparks flew from the console. It soon went up in flames as it carried on shaking violently.

"We're travelling through time! One second in the future!" The Doctor shouted above the noise and Galaxy laughed. "The call's pulling us onward!"

"Three, two, one!" The Doctor shouted as they held on tightly. They screamed as the Tardis hurtled through the rift and soon came to where the Earth and other planets were and they became visible one by one.

The fires died down as the Tardis slowed and stopped shaking, the Doctor and Galaxy looked at the monitor, seeing the planets before grinning.

"The 27 planets! And there's the Earth! But why couldn't we see it?" Donna asked, looking at the monitor too. "The entire Medusa Cascade has been put a second out of sync with the rest of the Universe. Perfect hiding place. Tiny little pocket of time. But we found them. Oh, oh, what's that? Hold on, hold on..."

A moment later the images change to reveal Torchwood, Martha and Sarah Jane Smith.

Jack laughed in relief seeing them before glaring. "Where the hell have you been, Galaxy?!" He demanded and she laughed, "Guys, it's the Daleks!"

"Oh, he's a bit nice. I thought he'd be younger." Gwen said. "He's not that young." Ianto muttered and Galaxy chuckled. "It's the Daleks. They're taking people to their spaceship!" Sarah Jane called.

Sarah Jane and Martha started jabbering over each other as the Doctor, Galaxy, Donna and Astro looked on, a fond smile growing across the Doctor's and Galaxy's faces.

"Sarah Jane! Who's that boy? That must be Torchwood. Aren't they brilliant?" He said, glancing at Galaxy.

"That's Martha!" Donna gasped as Martha waved, "And who's...he?" She pointed to Jack on the screen. "Captain Jack." The Doctor introduced. "Jack, don't even think about it." Galaxy quickly said. "Hey!"

"It's like...an outer space Facebook!" Donna laughed. "Everyone except Rose." The Doctor sighed.

Galaxy glanced at him and her smile dimmed slightly. While she knew Rose did what she could to help fix the parallel world around Donna, there were some of the girl's actions that she wouldn't be able to forgive. Just like she wouldn't be able to fully forgive UNIT.

"We've lost them!" Donna exclaimed as the screen went white. "No, another signal just came through, someone else is probably out there." Galaxy said as she turned a knob. "Doctor? What's going on?" Martha called as there was still audio. "Hello? Can you hear me?" The Doctor called.

"Your voice is different, and yet, its arrogance is unchanged." A raspy voice called out. The Doctor and Galaxy both froze as the image of Davros, the creator of the Daleks, appeared, "Welcome...to my new Empire, Doctor. Galaxy. It is only fitting that you should bear witness to the resurrection and the triumph of Davors, Lord and Creator of the Dalek Race."

"Doctor?" Donna gently called as she and Astro saw them both freeze, Galaxy in fear and anger, the Doctor just in fear.

"Have you nothing to say?" Davors asked.
