"He's making it up. There's no weapons up there, there's no threat. He just invented it" {Y/N} says.

"Do you think they'll believe him?" Harriet asks.

"They did last time" Rose shrugs.

"That's why the Slitheen went for spectacle. They want the whole world panicking, because you lot, you get scared, you lash out" the Doctor replies.

"They release the defence code."

"And the Slitheen go nuclear."

"But why?" Harriet asks, {Y/N} walks over to the small panel on the wall and opens the metal shutters, to reveal a Slitheen standing there.

You get the codes, release the missiles, but not into space because there's nothing there. You attack every other country on Earth. They retaliate, fight back. World War Three. Whole planet gets nuked" {Y/N} says.

"And we can sit through it safe in our spaceship waiting in the Thames. Not crashed, just parked. Only two minutes away" it replies, {Y/N} tilts her head.

"But you'll destroy the planet, this beautiful place. What for?" Harriet asks.

"Profit. That's what the signal is beaming into space. An advert" the Doctor says.

"The sale of the century. We reduce the Earth to molten slag, then sell it piece by piece. Radioactive chucks, capable of powering every cut-price star liner and budget cargo ship. There's a recession out there. People are buying cheap. This rock becomes raw fuel."

"At the cost of five billion lives" {Y/N} says.

"Bargain."

"I'll give you a choice. Leave this planet or I'll stop you" {Y/N} says placing her hands behind her back.

"What, you? Trapped in your box?"

"Yes. Me" {Y/N} says, as the Doctor walks up to press the button to close the shutters.

*Time Skip to next morning*

"All right, Doctor, {Y/N}. I'm not saying I trust you guys, but there must be something you can do" Jackie says.

"If we could ferment the port, we could make acetic acid" Harriet says.

"Mickey, any luck?" Rose asks.

"There's loads of emergency numbers. They're all on voicemail" Mickey replies.

"Voicemail dooms us all" Harriet whispers.

"If we could just get out of here..." Rose says.

"There's a way out" {Y/N} says, everyone turns towards her.

"What?" Rose asks walking up to her.

"There's always been a way out" she says looking down at Rose.

"Then why don't we use it?" Rose asks, {Y/N} sighs.

"Because I can't guarantee you'll will be safe."

"Don't you dare. Whatever it is, don't you dare."

"That's the thing. If I don't dare, everyone dies" {Y/N} replies.

"Do it" Rose says.

"You don't even know what it is. You'd just let me?" {Y/N} asks quietly.

"Yeah" Rose nods.

Please, {Y/N}. Please. She's my daughter. She's just a kid" Jackie pleads.
