Climbing through ventilation shafts was not apart of EJ's space and time travel bucket list, but it definitely should have been. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of his life. Only, it might have been greater if it wasn't forced by Satan possessing the Ood.

As they jumped into the shafts, Rose was pulling a face. And rather quickly, EJ realised why, because there was a smell growing in the confined space, and it was not pleasant.

"God, it stinks." She complained, and EJ nodded at her, agreeing. "You alright?"

Danny seemed to realise that she was looking at him, so he smiled sarcastically. "Yeah, laughing."

Finally, Toby jumped down and joined them, which was speeding everything up. Mr Jefferson wasn't going to be too far behind. At last, they would actually get somewhere, and find a way to help the Doctor.

      "Which way do we go?" Danny demanded an answer.

  "Just go straight ahead, keep going till I say so."

     They did what was asked of them, but it was ever so slightly uncomfortable. They had to crawl through the tunnels, and the metal hit against their knees. EJ was struggling with his hands a little; not only that, but Rose's bum was in his face.

     It was the same for everyone, but Rose seemed to be the one to comment on it. "Not your best angle, Danny."

  "Oi," He warned her. "Stop it!"

  Toby was behind EJ, and he shrugged."I dunno, could be worse."

  "Look, Toby," The Thompson boy almost paused his movements with a sigh before realising he needed to continue. "If you wanted a snog, all you had to do was ask."

  "Straight on until you find Junction 7.1." Zack interrupted their rather inappropriate conversation, thankfully. "Keep breathing. I'm feeding you air. I've got you."

     It didn't take very long to get to that first junction, but it wasn't going to be the same for them all. However, only after they stopped for the breath that EJ realised how fast he was moving. His lungs were gasping for air. It seemed he hadn't taken a single breath since he'd started crawling.

     "We're at 7.1, sir." Danny half-huffed into the comms.

  "Okay, I've got you." Zack informed them; he was doing well to keep his cool. "I'm just aerating the next section."

  "Getting kinda cramped, sir. Can't you hurry it up?"

  "I'm working on half power here."

  "You're doing fine, Zack." EJ called back; positive reinforcement was supposed to work for things like these. "Just do what you have to do."

  Mr Jefferson huffed from the back. "Stop complaining."

  "Mr Jefferson said stop complaining." Rose relayed back up to the front of their group.

  Danny smiled, condescendingly. "I heard."

  "He heard." She sighed in response.

"Okay," Toby tapped his feet anxiously as he curled up slightly. "The airs getting a bit thin."

Rose threw her head back. "He's complaining now."

Jefferson grunted. "I heard!"

"I don't want to be here anymore." EJ grumbled, sighing. He wasn't a great fan of small spaces, or strangers. It must have been ironic that it felt a little like hell. "I want to go back to the Tardis."
