The Satan Pit

"What about that strategy nine things?" She asked.

"Not enough power. It needs a hundred percent." Jefferson shook his head.

"All right, we need a way out. Zach, Mister Jefferson, you start working on that." She ordered. "Toby, what about you?"

"I'm not a soldier. I can't do anything."

"No, you're the archaeologist. What do you know about the pit?" She pushed him on.

"Well, nothing. We can't even translate the language."

"Right." Rose nodded waiting for him to continue.

"Hold on. Maybe."

"What is it?" Rose asked.

"Since that thing was inside my head, it's like the letters made more sense."

Rose then patted his shoulder. "Well, get to work. Anything you can translate, just anything. As for you, Danny boy. You're in charge of the Ood. Any way of stopping them?" She asked.

"Well, I don't know." He shrugged looking at the monitor.

"Then find out. The sooner we get control of the Base, the sooner we can get the Doctor out. Shift."

"Rose Tyler officer of command" Rita hummed. "Very good" she nodded. "You're not going to order me about now are you?" She raised a brow crossing her arms"

"No Rita" she chuckled. "Second in command"

"Second?" Rita scoffed. "If you say so ma'am" she joked giving a salute. "Why did I do that" she then groaned shaking her head, Rose laughed at her patting the brunette's back.

"Well, we've got all this cable, we might as well use it. The drum's disconnected. We could adapt it, feed it through." Ida stood up assessing the damage to the capsule and cable.

"And then what?"

"Abseil into the pit."

"Abseil. Right." He nodded.

"We're running out of air with no way back. It's the only thing we can do. Even if it's the last thing we ever achieve."

"I'll get back. Rita and Rose are up there." He promised.

"Well, maybe the key to that is finding out what's in the pit."

"Well, it's half of a good plan." He nodded his head to the right a little.

"What's the other half?"Ida curiously asked.

"I go down, not you."

"Open junctions five, six, seven. Reroute filters sixteen to twenty-four. Go." Jefferson said to the monitor

Rita and Rose stood beside Danny as he explained about the Ood. "There's all sorts of viruses that could stop the Ood. Trouble is, we haven't got them on board."

"Well, that's handy, listing all the things we haven't got. We haven't got a swimming pool either. Or a Tesco's."

"Please don't remind me of my old job" Rita groaned. "I don't remind you of the shop"

"Which he exploded," She looked down at where the capsule was before heading down. "Careful he might go exploding Tesco's next" She joked grinning slightly.
