Cobb shows them a holographic map of the tunnels and chambers.

"Does this show the entire city, including the Hath zones?" {Y/N} asks.

"Yes. Why?"

"Well, it'll help us find Martha."

"We've got more important things to do. The progenation machines are powered down for the night shift, but soon as they're active, we could breed a whole platoon from you three."

"I'm not having sons and daughters by some great big flipping machine. Sorry, no offence, but you're not. Well, I mean, you're not real" Donna says pointing to Jenny who scoffs.

"You're no better than him. I have a body, I have a mind, I have independent thought. How am I not real? What makes you better than me?"

"Well said, soldier. We need more like you, if ever we're to find the Source."

"Ooo, the Source. What's that, then? What's a Source? I like a Source. What is it?" the Doctor asks.

"The Breath of Life."

"And that would be?" {Y/N} asks.

"In the beginning, the great one breathed life into the universe. And then she looked at what she'd done, and she sighed."

"She. I like that" Jenny says.

"Right. So, it's a creation myth" the Doctor says.

"It's not myth. It's real. That sigh. From the beginning of time it was caught and kept as the Source. It was lost when the war started. But it's here, somewhere. Whoever holds the Source controls the destiny of the planet" the Doctor makes the map buzz as he flings his hand through it.

"Ah! I thought so. There's a suppressed layer of information in this map. If I can just" he uses his sonic screwdriver on it, and up come more tunnels and chambers.

"What is it, what's it mean?" Donna asks.

"See? A whole complex of tunnels hidden from sight."

"That must be the lost temple. The Source will be inside. You've shown us the way. And look, we're closer than the Hath. It's ours. Tell them to prepare to move out. We'll progenate new soldiers on the morning shift, then we march. Once we reach the Temple, peace will be restored at long last."

"Er, call me old-fashioned, but if you really wanted peace, couldn't you just stop fighting?" {Y/N} says.

"Only when we have the Source. It'll give us the power to erase every stinking Hath from the face of this planet."

"Hang on, hang on. A second ago it was peace in our time. Now you're talking about genocide" the Doctor says.

"For us, that means the same thing."

"Then you need to get yourself a better dictionary. When you do, look up genocide. You'll see a little picture of me there, and the caption will read, over my dead body!" the Doctor yells.

"And you're the one who showed us the path to victory. But you can consider the irony from your prison cell. Cline, at arms."

"Oi, oi, oi. All right. Cool the beans, Rambo" Donna says as Cline puts up his gun.

"Take them. I won't have them spreading treason. And if you try anything, Doctor, I'll see that your woman dies first" Cobb says looking at Donna.

"No, we're, we're not a couple" the Doctor says.

"I am not his woman" Donna says.

"Come on. This way."

"We're going to stop you, Cobb. You need to know that" {Y/N} says through gritted teeth.
