A smaller tank is filling with Flesh. A face appears in it and a few moments later a new Jennifer sits up.

"Well, I can see why you keep it in a church. Miracle of life" the Doctor says.

"No need to get poncey. It's just gunge."

"Guys, we need to get to work."

"Ok, everybody, let's crack on."

"Did I mention the solar storm? You need to get out of here" {Y/N} says.

"Where do you want us to go? We're on a tiny island."

"Well, we can get you all off it," the Doctor says.

"Don't be ridiculous. We've got a job to do."

"It's coming" {Y/N} says.

"That's the alarm."

"How do you get power?" {Y/N} asks.

"We're solar. We use a solar router. The weathervane."

"Big problem," the Doctor says.

"Boss, maybe if the storm's back we should get underground. The factory's seen better days. The acid pipes might not withstand another hit."

"We have two hundred tons of acid to pump out. We fall behind, we stay another rotation. Anyone want that?"

"Please, you are making a massive mistake here. You're right at the crossroads of it. Don't turn the wrong way. If you don't, if you don't prepare for this storm, you are all in terrible danger. Understand?" {Y/N} asks.

"My factory, my rules."

"We need to check the progress of the storm. Monitoring station? Monitoring station" {Y/N} says.

"Three lefts, a right and a left. Third door on your left."

"Thank you" {Y/N} and the Doctor walk out of the room Rory and Amy following.

*Time skip*

A big storm lights up the sky.

"Waves disturbing the Earth's magnetic field. There is going to be the mother and father of all power surges. See this weathervane, the cock-a-doodle-do? It's a solar router feeding the whole factory with solar power" the Doctor says.

"When that wave hits, ka-boom. We've to get to that cockerel before all hell breaks loose. I never thought I'd have to say that again. Amy, breathe" {Y/N} says.

"Yeah! I mean, thanks. I'll try" Amy says, as the Doctor and {Y/N} head up the spiral staircase to the tower top. The weathervane is spinning very fast. Up in the air, the Doctor opens the Danger High Voltage box and starts pulling relays. There is a strike and he is thrown off the ladder taking {Y/N} with him. After a short time, the Doctor wakes, {Y/N} shortly after and she gasps pushing him off her. The weathervane has been destroyed. The monastery goes dark.

*Time skip*

"Cleaves, you're not in your harness," the Doctor says.

"I'm sorry, Doctor, {Y/N}. You were right."

"You've lost all power to the factory" {Y/N} says.

"{Y/N}, Doctor, I abandoned my team."

"Then let's go get them" a while later the Doctor speaks up again "how long would you say we were unconscious for, Cleaves?"

"Not long. A minute, two minutes?"

"I'd hazard we've been out a teensy bit longer" {Y/N} says.

"Well, how long?"

"An hour. We've seen whole worlds turned inside out in an hour. A lot can go wrong in an hour" {Y/N} says a short time later they run into the harness room.

"{Y/N}, Doctor, these are all real people, so where are their Gangers?" Amy asks.

"Don't worry. When the link shuts down the Gangers return to pure Flesh. Now, the storm's left us with acid leaks all over, so we need to contact the mainland. They can have a rescue shuttle out here in no time" Cleaves says, the Dusty Springfield song starts up once again.
