An Angel Amongst the Stars (Supernatural x Doctor Who)

42 (Pt. 2)

The Doctor, followed by McDonnell and the rest of the crew ran down a set of stairs. The Doctor stopped suddenly, bemused. "Blimey! Do you always leave things in such a mess?"

"Oh my god!" McDonnell exclaimed.

"What the hell happened?!" Scannell asked.

We all walked over to what looked like a completely wrecked engine. Wires, springs, and casing were all over the place, all steaming. We all walked around the piece of machinery, surveying the damage.

"Oh, it's wrecked," Riley claimed.

"Pretty efficiently too." The Doctor noted "Someone knew what they were doing," The Doctor wandered over to a computer terminal, attached to the wreckage.

McDonnell looked around "Where's Korwin? Has anyone heard from him or Ashton?"

"No," Scannell reported

"You mean someone did this on purpose?" Martha questioned

McDonnell ran over to an intercom system. "Korwin? Ashton? Where are you?" No response "Korwin, can you answer?!" Still no answer. McDonnell left the intercom. "Where the hell is he? He should be up here!"

I walked over to where the Doctor was scanning to find out where we were. Behind us, the crew was rushing about, trying to find Korwin, and trying to repair the ship. I couldn't help the slight smile as I noticed he was wearing his specs.

"Oh!" The Doctor exclaimed happily "We're in the Torajji system! Lovely!" The screen readout showed a system of planets, circling a huge sun "You're a long way from home, Martha, Angela. Half a universe away," he left the terminal.

"Yeah. Feels it," Martha claimed sarcastically.

"And, you're still using energy scoops for fusion?" The Doctor asked McDonnell "Hasn't that been outlawed yet?"

The crew looked at each other, guiltily

"We're due to upgrade next docking," McDonnell replied dismissively. She walked away from the Doctor "Scannell, engine report,"

Scannell walked over to the computer terminal the Doctor was at before. He scanned, with everyone looking anxiously over his shoulder. The machine beeped several times. "No response." he ran over to the wrecked engine. "What?!"

Scannell examined pieces of wire protruding from the wreck "They're burnt out. The controls are wrecked. I can't get them back online,"

The Doctor took his glasses off "Oh come on! Auxiliary engines! Every craft's got auxiliaries!"

"We don't have access from here." McDonnell told him "The auxiliary controls are in the front of the ship,"

"Yeah, with 29 password sealed doors between us and them. You'll never get there in time," Scannell explained.

I looked at the Doctor "Can't you override the doors?"

"No." Scannell replied, believing the question to be towards him "Sealed closure means what it says. They're all dead-locked sealed,"

"So a sonic screwdriver's no use..." The Doctor told me.

"Nothing's any use. We've got no engines, no time, and no chance,"

Having enough of the negativity I stepped up "Oh listen to you! Defeated before you've even started! Where's your Dunkirk spirit?!" I looked at McDonnell "Who's got the door passwords?"

"They're randomly generated." someone interrupted "Reckon I know most of 'em. Sorry. Riley Vashti,"

"Then what're you waiting for Riley Vashti, get on it,"
