The Impossible Astronaut Pt. 4

Start from the beginning
                                    

"We've moved. How, how can we have moved?"

"You haven't even got to space travel yet?" the Doctor says.

"I was going to cover it with time travel," Rory says.

"Time travel."

"Braveheart, Canton. Come on."

"So, we're in a box that's bigger on the inside, and it travels through time and space."

"Yeah, basically," Rory says.

"How long have Scotland Yard had this?"

*Time skip*

"It's a warehouse of some kind. Disused" River says.

"You realise this is almost certainly a trap, of course?" {Y/N} says.

"I noticed the phone, yes."

"What about it?" Amy asks.

"It was cut off. So how did the child phone from here?" River asks.

"Ok, but why would anyone want to trap us?" Amy asks.

"Let's see if anyone tries to kill us and work backwards" the astronaut watches from the shadows.

"Now, why would a little girl be here?" River asks.

"I don't know. Let's find her and ask her" the Doctor says, they come across some technology.

"It's nonterrestrial. Definitely alien. Probably not even from this time zone" River says.

"Which is odd, because look at this!" {Y/N} says pointing to a crate of spacesuits.

"It's earth tech. It's contemporary" River says.

"It's very contemporary. Cutting edge. This is from the space program" the Doctor says.

"Stolen?" River asks.

"What, by aliens?" Amy asks.

"Apparently" {Y/N} mutters.

"But why? I mean, if you can make it all the way to Earth, why steal technology that can barely make it to the moon?" Amy asks.

"Maybe because it's cooler? Look how cool this stuff is" {Y/N} says.

"Cool aliens?"

"Well, what would you call me?"

"An alien."

"Oi!"

"I, er, I think he's ok now," Rory says.

"Ah! Back with us, Canton" the Doctor asks.

"I like your wheels."

"That's my boy. So, come on. Little girl. Let's find her" {Y/N} says, Amy and River examine the alien tech, which has a lot of gunk and slime associated with it.

"River," Amy asks.

"I know what you're thinking."

"No, you don't."

"You're thinking if we can find the spaceman in 1969 and neutralise it, then it won't be around in 2011 to kill {Y/N}."

"Ok, lucky guess."

"It's only because I was thinking it too."

"So, let's do it."

"It doesn't work like that. We came here because of what we saw in the future. If we try and prevent the future from happening, we create a paradox.

"Time can be rewritten."

"Not all of it."

"Says who?"

"Who do you think? What's this?" River walks over to a manhole cover.

"We can still save her."

"{Y/N}? Doctor? Look at this" River says, the two Time Lords walk over.

"So where does that go?" the Doctor asks.

"There's a network of tunnels running under here."

"Life signs?"

"No, nothing that's showing up."

"Those are the worst kind" River prepares to go down.

"Be careful" {Y/N} says.

"Careful? I tried that once. Ever so dull."

"Shout if you get in trouble."

"Don't worry, I'm quite the screamer. Now there's a spoiler for you" River says, {Y/N} furrows her eyebrows.

"Tell me what's going on here," Canton asks, {Y/N} turns.

"Er, nothing. She's just a friend."

"I think he's talking about the possible alien incursion," Rory says.

"Ok" River discovers power lines and more aliens.

"So, I was in a bar having a drink. Tell me, honestly, Am I still there?" Canton asks.

"Afraid not," Amy says, River returns in a hurry.

"All clear. Just tunnels. Nothing down there I can see. Er, give me five minutes. I want to take another look around."

"Stupidly dangerous!" {Y/N} says.

"Yeah, I like it too. Amy, look after her" River goes back down.

"Rory, would you mind going with her?" the Doctor asks.

"Yeah, a bit."

"Then I'd appreciate it all the more."

"Hang on, River. I'm coming too" Rory says.
