"Quick! Push anything in front of it! We've got to keep them out!" the Doctor says as he moves a cabinet as Chopra tries to push the door shut.

"Deep-Ando! We've lost him! What the hell are they?" Nagata asks.

"Not pirates" {Y/N} says.

"We've got to get Deep-Ando!"

"Where's your friend?" the Doctor asks.

"Deep-Ando? I dunno. He's..." Chopra is cut off by Nagata.

"He's still out there!" the creatures are pushing at the door. One thrusts an arm through the gap "474!" 474 charges the door, shutting it and cutting off the arm, which turns to sand and falls to the floor "what the hell are they? Where did they go?"

*Corridor*

"Chief Nagata, this is Deep-Ando. Where did you go? Nagata, this is Deep-Ando. May the Gods look favourably upon you... may the Gods. Are you there?" Deep-Ando walks on, sweeping his flashlight around as he goes.

*Laboratory*

"Deep-Ando, this is Nagata. May the Gods look favourably upon you. Deep-Ando, are you there?" {Y/N} takes a sample of the sand from the floor and puts it under a microscope "what are you doing?"

"Finding out what they're made of."

"Deep-Ando, are you there?"

"Send the Grunt," Chopra says.

"No," Nagata says.

"Why not? That's what it's for. Look, he's still out there! You can't just abandon him."

"I need proper intel before I risk anyone else, including 474. Keep trying the comms."

"Deep-Ando, may the Gods look favourably upon you."

"Well?" Nagata asks.

"Organic. Definitely organic. Blood cells. Skin cells. Mucus" {Y/N} says.

"Deep-Ando, may the Gods look favourably upon you. Deep-Ando" 474 says. Clara is standing between two large white cabinets.

"What are these?" Clara asks.

"Morpheus?" Chopra asks.

"Morpheus? Named after the God of Dreams? Oh, yeah. Ooh, yeah. Not just this" Clara says pointing to her face "so, what are they, then? Sleep pods?"

"More than that... Deep-Ando? Deep-Ando, can you hear me?"

"Keep trying," Nagata says.

"I could take a look at that. You know, triangulate the signal, help you find your friend" the Doctor says.

"First, tell me what those things are."

"Deep, Deep-Ando" Chopra says.

"This is Deep..."

"Deep-Ando, this is Chopra. I'm getting a signal. Deep-Ando, can you hear me? Deep-Ando? Deep-Ando, this is Chopra. Can you hear me?"

"Doctor! {Y/N}!" there's a loud thud as Clara disappears inside a Morpheus cabinet.

"Clara!" the Doctor shouts, an alarm sounds, then four small holographic ladies in Dior New Style dresses with full skirts appear on the cabinet and start singing.

"Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom. Mister Sandman, bring me your dreams."

"Clara!" {Y/N} says.

"It's fine, it's just Morpheus," Nagata says.

"Make him the cutest that I've ever seen" the singers vanish as the Doctor opens the cabinet. Clara is lying there, eyes closed and with neon blue tubes attached to her head and hands.
