"Fire!"

"Stop! You want to start a war while the rest of us sleep, Restac?"

"The apes are attacking us."

"You're our protector, not our commander, Restac. Unchain them."

"I do not recognise your authority at this time, Eldane."

"Well then, you must shoot me."

"You woke him to undermine me."

"We're not monsters. And neither are they."

"What is it about apes you love so much, hmm?"

"While you slept, they've evolved. I've seen it for myself."

"We used to hunt apes for sport. When we came underground, they bred and polluted this planet."

"Shush now, Restac. Go and play soldiers. I'll let you know if I need you."

"You'll need me, then we'll see" with that Restac walks out.

*Time skip*

"Nothing. I've got to get down there" Rory says.

"Rory. Hello" the Doctor says.

"Where's Amy?"

"She's fine. Look, here, she is."

"Oh, thank God," Rory says.

"Keeping you on your toes," Amy says.

"No time to chat. Listen, you need to get down here. Go to the drill storeroom. There's a large patch of earth in the middle of the floor. The Silurians are going to send up transport discs to bring you back down using geothermal energy and gravity bubble technology. It's how they travel and frankly, it's pretty cool. Bring Alaya. We hand her over, we can land this after all. All going to work, promise. Got to dash. Hurry up" {Y/N} says, the transmission ends.

"I'd say you've got a fair bit to talk about," the Doctor says looking at Eldane.

"How so?"

"You both want the planet. You both have a genuine claim to it" {Y/N} says.

"Are you two authorised to negotiate on behalf of humanity?"

"Us? No. But they are" the Doctor says.

"What?" Nasreen asks.

"No, we're not," Amy says.

"Course you are. Amy Pond and Nasreen Chaudhry, speaking for the planet? Humanity couldn't have better ambassadors. Come on, who has more fun than us?" {Y/N} asks.

"Is this what happens, in the future? The planet gets shared? Is that what we need to do?" Amy asks.

"Er, what are you talking about?" Nasreen asks.

"Oh Nasreen, sorry. Probably worth mentioning at this stage, Amy, {Y/N} and I travel in time a bit" the Doctor says.

"Anything else?"

"There are fixed points through time where things must always stay the way they are. This is not one of them. This is an opportunity. A temporal tipping point. Whatever happens today, will change future events, create its own timeline, its own reality. The future pivots around you, here, now. So, do good, for humanity, and for Earth" {Y/N} says.

"Right. No pressure there, then" Amy says.

"We can't share the planet. Nobody on the surface is going to go for this idea. It is just too big a leap."

"Come on. Be extraordinary" the Doctor says.

"Oh."

"Ok. Bringing things to order. The first meeting of representatives of the human race and Homo Reptilia is now in session. Ha! Never said that before. That's fab" {Y/N} looks at the Doctor "carry on. Now, Mo. Let's go and get your son. Oh, you know, humans, and their predecessors shooting the breeze. Never thought I'd see it" the Doctor, Mo and {Y/N} walk off.
