The Impossible Astronaut Pt. 3

"Ex FBI. Got kicked out" River says.

"Why?" {Y/N} asks.

"Six weeks after he left the Bureau, the President contacted him for a private meeting."

"Yeah, 1969. Who's President?"

"Richard Milhous Nixon. Vietnam, Watergate. There's some good stuff, too."

"Not enough."

"Hippie!"

"Archaeologist" the two look at one another for some time "ok, since I don't know what I'm getting into this time, for once I'm being discreet. We're putting the engines on silent" {Y/N} says as the Doctor pulls a lever and there is a wail. River throws a different switch and it goes quiet "did you do something?"

"No, just watching," River says.

"Putting the outer shield on invisible. I haven't done this in a while. Big drain on the power."

"You can turn the TARDIS invisible?" Rory asks.

"Ha!"

"Very nearly" River moves another lever.

"Er, did you touch something?"

"Just admiring your skills, sweetie."

"Good. You might learn something. Ok. Now I can't check the scanner. It doesn't work when we're cloaked. Just give us a mo. Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa. You lot, wait a moment. We're in the middle of the most powerful city in the most powerful country on Earth. Let's take it slow" {Y/N} steps out of the TARDIS.

*Time skip*

"What spaceman? Where are you phoning from? Where are you right now? Who are you?" {Y/N} quietly gets out a notebook and starts writing.

"Jefferson Adams Hamilton."

"Jefferson, listen to me" the child rings off.

"Surely this is something the Bureau could handle, sir."

"These calls happen wherever I am. How do I know the Bureau isn't involved? I can't trust anyone" Nixon turns around and sees {Y/N}. Canton stands and turns, too. {Y/N} keeps writing she looks up.

"Oh. Hello. Bad moment. Oh look, this is the Oval Office. I was looking for the er, oblong room. I'll just be off, then, shall I?" and she walks smack into the cloaked TARDIS, causing a big jolt inside.

"Every time" River mutters.

"Don't worry! It always does that when its cloaked" Canton wrestles {Y/N} to the floor, she lets out a small squeak of surprise "ah, no. Stop that."

"She said the scanner wouldn't work," Rory says.

"I know. Bless" River replies, the Secret Service run into the room.

"Lockdown! Lockdown!"

"Stop that! Argh! Oh! River, have you got the scanner working yet?"

"Oh, I hate her."

"No, you don't!"

"Get the President out of here. Sir, you have to go with them, now."

"River, make her blue again!" the Tardis shimmers into the visible spectrum.

"What the hell is that?" while everyone is distracted, {Y/N} has slipped out of their grasp and into Nixon's chair.

"Mister President, that child just told you everything you need to know, but you weren't listening. Never mind, though, because the answer's yes. I'll take the case. Fellows, the guns, really? I just walked into the highest security office in the United States and parked a big blue box on the rug. Do you think you can just shoot me?"

"They're Americans!" River says.

"Don't shoot. Definitely no shooting" the Doctor says.

"Nobody shoot us either. Very much not in need of getting shot. Look, we've got our hands up" Rory says.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Sir, you need to stay back," Canton says.

"But who are they and what is that box?"

"It's a police box. Can't you read? I'm your new undercover agent on loan from Scotland Yard. Codename {Y/N}. These are my top operatives, the Legs, the Nose, the Doctor and Mrs Robinson."

"I hate you," River says.

"No, you don't" {Y/N} smiles.

"Who are you?"

"Nah, boring question. Who's phoning you? That's interesting. Because Canton Three is right. That was definitely a girl's voice, which means there's only one place in America she can be phoning from" {Y/N} says.

"Where?"

"Do not engage with the intruder, Mister Delaware."

"You heard everything I heard. It's simple enough. Give me five minutes, I'll explain. On the other hand, lay a finger on me or my friends, and you'll never, ever know."

"How did you get it in here? I mean, you didn't carry it in."

"Clever, eh?"

"Love it."

"Do not compliment the intruder."

"Five minutes?"

"Five" {Y/N} replies, Canton smiles.

"Mister President, that woman is a clear and present danger to..."

"Mister President, that women walked in here with a big blue box and four of her friends, and that's the man she walked past. One of them is worth listening to. I say we give her five minutes. See if she delivers."

"Thanks, Canton."

"If she doesn't, I'll shoot her myself."

"Not so thanks."

"Sir, I cannot recommend..."

"Shut up, Peterson! All right.

"five minutes" {Y/N} takes her legs off the desk and smiles.

"I'm going to need a SWAT team, ready to mobilise. Street level maps covering all of Florida. A pot of coffee, twelve Jammie Dodgers and give that man a fez" {Y/N} says pointing to the Doctor.

"Get her, her maps" later... "why Florida?"

"There's where NASA is. She mentioned a spaceman. NASA's where the spacemen live. Also, there's another lead I'm following" {Y/N} says, walking over the array of maps scattered across the office.

"A spaceman, like the one we saw at the lake?" Amy whispers to River.

"Maybe. Probably" Amy sees a figure in a suit at the open door. It has a large head with sunken eyes and no mouth, and very long fingers. She recalls the sighting at the lake.

"Who's that?" "I remember."

"Amy? What do you remember?" Rory asks the figure is gone.

"I don't know. I just"

"Amy, what's wrong?" Rory asks.

"Amy?" River asks.

"Are you all right?" the Doctor asks, {Y/N} walks over looking at Amy.

"Yeah. No, I'm fine. I'm just feeling a little sick. Excuse me, is there a toilet or something?"

"Sorry, ma'am, while this procedure's ongoing, you must remain within the Oval office."

"Shut up and take her to the restroom," Canton says.

"This way, ma'am."

"Thanks" Amy leaves. Carl stops Rory from following.

"Your five minutes are up."

"Yeah, and where's my fez?" the Doctor asks.
