Wishful (*Doctor Who*)

Day Of The Moon Pt1

"It's like they edit themselves out of your memory as soon as you look away. The exact second you're not looking at them, you can't remember anything." Rory continues.

"Sometimes you feel a bit sick, though, but not always."

"So that's why you marked your skin."

"Only way we'd know if we'd had an encounter." I told him

"How long have they been here?"

"That's what we've spent the last three months trying to find out." Amy told Canton.

"Not easy, if you can't remember anything you discover." Rory says

"How long do you think?"

"As long as there's been something in the corner of your eye, or creaking in your house, or breathing under your bed, or voices through a wall. They've been running your lives for a very long time now, so keep this straight in your head. We are not fighting an alien invasion, we're leading a revolution. And today, the battle begins." The Doctor finally speaks up as he stops doing something with the Tardis.

"How?" Canton asked him

"Like this." The Doctor quickly injects me.

"Ow!" I frown as I look at my hand,

"(laughs) Nanorecorder. Fuses with the cartilage in your hand. (injects himself) Ow. And it tunes itself directly to the speech centres in your brain. It'll pick up your voice, no matter what. Telepathic connection. So, the moment you see one of the creatures, you activate it, and describe aloud exactly what you're seeing." The Doctor says as I rub my hand in pain,
"Because the moment you break contact, you're going to forget it happened. The light will flash if you've left yourself a message. You keep checking your hand if you've had an encounter. That's the first you'll know about it."

"Why didn't you tell me this before we started?" Canton asked him

"I did, but even information about these creatures erases itself over time. I couldn't refresh it because I couldn't talk to you." Canton looks away then turns back and adjusts the Doctor's bow tie.

"What? What are you staring at?" Canton asked him,

"Look at your hand." River tells him a little dot is flashing.

"Why is it doing that?"

"What does it mean if the light's flashing? What did I just tell you?"

"I haven't-"

"Play it."

'My God, how did it get in here

'Keep eye contact with the creature and, when I say, turn back, and when you do, straighten my bow tie.'

'What? What are you staring at?'

'Look at your hand.' One of the aliens is standing there.

"It's a hologram, extrapolated from the photo on Marcie's phone. Take a good, long look." The Doctor turns off the image.
"You just saw an image of one of the creatures we're fighting. Describe it to me."

"I can't."

"No. Neither can I. You straightened my bow tie because I planted the idea in your head while you were looking at the creature."

"So they could do that to people. You could be doing stuff and not really knowing why you're doing it." Amy asked the Doctor

"Like posthypnotic suggestion." Rory said

"Ruling the world with posthypnotic suggestion?"

"Now then, a little girl in a spacesuit. They got the suit from NASA, but where did they get the girl?" The Doctor asked us all,
