"You, all right?" Rose asks looking over at Adam.

"I can see her brain."

"Do you want to get out?"

"No. No, this technology, it's amazing."

"This technology's wrong" {Y/N} says.

"Trouble?"

"Oh, yeah" the Doctor and {Y/N} says at the same time Suki suddenly pulls her hands away as if she has just received an electric shock. The other six lift their hands and the information beam shuts down. Cathica's portal closes.

"Come off it, Suki. I wasn't even halfway. What was that for?" Cathica asks.

"Sorry. It must've been a glitch."

"Oh" that's when a wall lights up with the word 'promotion' "come on. This is it. Come on. Oh God, make it me. Come on, say my name, say my name, say my name."

"Promotion for Suki Macrae Cantrell. Please proceed to Floor five hundred."

"I don't believe it. Floor five hundred."

"How the hell did you manage that? I'm above you."

"I don't know. I just applied on the off chance and they've said yes."

"That's so not fair. I've been applying to Floor five hundred for three years."

"What's Floor five hundred?" Rose asks.

"The walls are made of gold" {Y/N} says shrugging, soon everyone including Cathica and Suki are all standing at the lift.

"Cathica, I'm going to miss you. Floor five hundred, thank you."

"I didn't do anything" {Y/N} says, looking at Suki.

"Well, you're my lucky charm" she opens her arms.

"All right. I'll hug anyone" they both later pull away and {Y/N} looks back to see Rose talking to Adam.

"Oh, my God, I've got to go. I can't keep them waiting. I'm sorry. Say goodbye to Steve for me. Bye!" Suki runs into the lift and the door close and she's on her way up to floor five-hundred.

"Good riddance" Cathica says.

"You're talking like you'll never see her again. She's only going upstairs" the Doctor says.

"We won't. Once you go to Floor five hundred you never come back" the Doctor and {Y/N} raise an eyebrow, and Rose joins them as they all walk through the cafeteria.

"Have you ever been up there?" {Y/N} asks.

"I can't. You need a key for the lift, and you only get a key with promotion. No one gets to five hundred except for the chosen few."

*Time Skip*

"Look, they only give us twenty minutes maintenance. Can't you give it a rest?" Cathica asks as they all walk into the newsroom.

"But you've never been to another floor? Not even one floor down?" {Y/N} asks as she sits in the broadcast chair.

"I went to floor sixteen when I first arrived. That's medical. That's when I got my head done, and then I came straight here. Satellite Five, you work, eat and sleep on the same floor. That's it, that's all. You two are not management, are you" {Y/N} shakes her head.

"At last. She's clever" the Doctor says.

"Yeah, well, whatever it is, don't involve me. I don't know anything."
