Doctor Who: The Infinite Quest Page #4

-No.

She's been murdered.

Live by the cutlass, die by the cutlass it seems.

-Doctor.

-I'm so sorry, Kaliko.

We've got what we came for.

Let's see where we're going next.

(WHOOSHING)

Hang on! There could be anything out there.

Snakes like bendy buses.

Sabre-toothed gorillas. Anything!

-Excellent!

-Right, that way is Main Street,

so that is probably downtown.

-Where's the lights?

-Lights?

MARTHA:
A city should be full of lights,

especially at night.

(BUZZING)

Doctor! They're bugs!

So I see, and they're about to swarm!

-Doctor! The bugs!

-Ahhh!

Swarming all around us.

Go on! Get out of it!

What's the matter with you two?

-Doctor.

-I know.

-What are you staring at?

-Thank you for the timely arrival, Mr...

Mergrass. Ulysses Mergrass.

Good thing the bugs listen to you.

-We have an understanding.

-MARTHA:
I noticed.

I'm here to provide their community,

via their queen, with protection.

-What's that?

-What they need protecting from.

(ALARM SOUNDING)

-Hang on, those are war planes.

-What do you expect in a war zone?

BOTH:
A war zone?

Sonic attack incoming!

You know what? I think he's got the right idea.

DOCTOR:
Martha? Martha! Look out!

-Pretty, isn't it?

-If you like that sort of thing.

Careful! Don't touch what isn't yours yet.

Breakages must still be paid for.

Besides which, they won't activate

until I give your queen this key-coder

to switch everything on.

You all right?

The towers are built from dung, not rock.

-But even so.

-Yeah, I'm fine.

It's beautiful, really beautiful.

Well said, Martha Jones.

Ah! Martha Jones, the Mantasphid Queen.

The Mantasphid Queen, ma'am, Martha Jones.

-Your Majesty?

-Spot on.

As I was saying, these alien attackers...

I hope you're not putting a business proposition.

The bidding is over. I won.

Mergrass is correct, Doctor.

We have our military adviser already,

we do not need another.

Oh, military adviser, is it?

Interesting euphemism for gun-running.

-Gun-running?

-In the crates.

They've caught a pilot!

Mergrass, they've caught a pilot!

Stand well back.

I want to see what you're fighting against.

Oh, what are you?

Crush it! Squash it! Get it away from me!

-Wait, it's...

-Trying to kill me, I know!

No, it's panicking. Doctor, it's just frightened.

Oh. Oh, oh, Martha, you are a marvel.

Calm, calm, calm. Shh, shh, shh.

Hey, I'm not going to hurt you.

(GASPING)

Thank you. Thank you so much, I...

Training didn't prepare me, I didn't...

It's all right, calm down. You're fine now.

Sorry, suit got damaged when I came down.

No air left. I thought I was gonna die.

-I don't want to die.

-Well, you didn't.

Fleshy biped!

We must be protected from fleshy bipeds.
