The Impossible Planet

Close door 17.

"But we are in space, deep, deep space. A deep Space exploration. We've gone way out. And listen to that, underneath." He bent down a little putting his ear closer to the ground. "Someone's drilling."

"Well isn't that lovely." Rita looked at the direction Rose was looking in.

"Welcome to hell." The blonde companion read aloud. The Doctor not paying attention to the two continued looking at the floor listening to the drilling.

"Oh, it's not that bad."

"No, over there." Rose laughed. It faded when she saw the confused expression on the Doctors face. He walked towards the sign looking at the small shapes bellow it.

"Hold on, what does that say? That's weird, it won't translate." He looked at Rita then Rose.

"And it's not because she's sick either" Rita pointed out.

"No it's not" He mumbled placing a hand on the writing as if it would do something.

Rose looked at the two confused. "But I thought the Tardis translated everything, writing as well. We should see English."

"Exactly. If that's not working, then it means this writing is old. Very old. Impossibly old. We should find out who's in charge." The Doctor started to spin the wheel on another door.

"We've gone beyond the reach of the Tardis' knowledge. Not a good move. And if someone's lucky enough-"

Open door 19. The Door opened and ailens with tenticals where their nose and mouth would be better known to Rita as the Ood, they were standing behind the door causing the Doctor and Rose to jump at the sight. "Oh! Right. Hello. Sorry. I was just saying, er, nice base." He commented.

The Ood all say in sync: "We must feed." The Doctor and Rose frown in confusion. "You've got to what?"

"We must feed."

"Yeah. I think they mean us." They begin to back away, Rita shook her head staying where she was not moving.

"Rita!" The Doctor pulled her back before she had time to tell them both that the Ood didn't mean literally eating them.

"We must feed. We must feed. We must feed. We must feed." They chanted. Rita rolled her eyes, the Doctor brought out his sonic screwdriver pointing it at the Ood while Rose grabbed a chair. Rita sighed at how much they looked like idiots, the Doctor and Rose was definitely too busy with the situation with the Ood to notice her body language.

"We must feed. We must feed. We must feed. We must feed. We must feed. We must feed. We must feed. We must feed. We must feed. We must feed." They chanted over and over. The Ood all stop and the Ood in front then repeats what they said multiple times over on its own. "We must feed." it then tapped the white globe causing it to flicker off then on again. "You, if you are hungry."

"I did try to tell you" Rita muttered. The Doctor lowered the sonic screwdriver and Rose did the same with the chair.

"Sorry?" The Doctor asked it to explain.

"We apologise. Electromagnetics have interfered with speech systems. Would you like some refreshment?"

The Doctor rubbed the back of his neck. "Er"

Open door 18. The door beside then opened and two people emerged from the door, the look on their faces showed confusion and shock as if they had seen a ghost.

"What the hell? How did?" A man looked baffled stepping closer to the three. The Ood stepped aside for the man. He raised his hand and spoke into a wrist comm not breaking his gaze with the Doctor thinking that if he looked away they would disappear. "Captain, you're not going to believe this. We've got people. Out of nowhere. I mean, real people. I mean three living people, just standing here right in front of me."
