FADE IN

1. INT - CHAMBER - DALEK CITY - SKARO - DAY

The teleportation sound can be heard, echoing through the chamber. KATIE appears in the chamber, dazed and dizzy, stepping back and forth lightly to regain her balance.

KATIE

(Moan)

What was that?

Silence.

KATIE

Doctor? Charles?

The teleportation noise echoes through the chamber again and CHARLES appears close by. Equally dazed and confused.

KATIE

Charles? What's happening?

CHARLES

(Confused)

Katie? Where's the Doctor?

KATIE

Never mind that...

BEAT

Where are we?

CHARLES

Some kind of chamber. Metallic

walls and a chill in the air.

KATIE

Do you think this is another

one of the Trickster's dimensions?

CHARLES

I don't think so. I'd imagine

we'd have been safe from

those inside the TARDIS.

KATIE

Where do you suppose we even are?

CHARLES

Perhaps if we find a way to get

out of this chamber we'll begin

to find some answers.

KATIE moves over to the wall and runs a hand along the metal sheets that coat it.

KATIE

If we can find a door or something

then I'm sure we'd be able to open it.

CHARLES

Here. I found one.

KATIE moves over to CHARLES who is running his hands down a gap in the metal plates.

CHARLES

There's a breeze coming in through

this little rut in the wall.

That means it's a door.

Conventional or not.

KATIE

There's no handle though.

CHARLES looks around the room once more and spots a glimmering flash in the corner of his eye in the top corner of the room.

CHARLES

What is that? Up there in the

corner of the room in the shadows.

It looks like an orb of some kind.

KATIE

I'm not an expert by any means,
