Voyager Meets Dr. Who Part III

Dr. Who, Ramana, Seven, Jules and Ruth are in a control room in the subway system, overlooking over a map of the city.

DR. WHO: It was nice of you to finally accept our identities, Ruth.

RUTH: It was D'alaire who finally convinced me. She may have some animosity toward Tim ...

JULES: Some animosity?

RUTH: ... but she said he did have access to a ship once upon a time and that he wouldn't be the type of person to fall into the
service of the Daleks. Plus the fact that I examined all your equipment helped to show your friends weren't from around here.

SEVEN: This diagram of the city is crude and simplistic. Will it be able to aid us in our mission?

RUTH: It's the best we can provide at the moment. I've made several notations on here; Dalek holdings, troop movements,
skirmish locations, etc...

RAMANA: This notation is the location where we met your party. What exactly was that trap for?

RUTH: Before the Dalek invasion, Terry worked in electronic warfare research and development. He believes that if he's able
to capture a Dalek and find out how it works, he might be able to devise a weapon to use against them.

DR. WHO: You planned to capture a Dalek? That is very bold.

RUTH: Terry came up with the plan. He figured that since the Daleks were interested in capturing individuals, baiting them
should be easy. After the cage fell a stunning device was to incapacitate the Dalek while the swinging bags of sand were to
confuse any companions it may have had. Terry's bunch would then jump out and eliminate the rest of them.

DR. WHO: Excuse me, did you say the Daleks were capturing individuals?

RUTH: Yeah, they seem especially interested in injured people.

DR. WHO: That is very odd. The Daleks are bent on extermination and conquest. The only time they've captured and used
organic life forms was when they needed slave laborers.

RUTH: That's not what they're doing this time. We can't figure out what they are doing, though. They take all their prisoners
to this part of their compound here.

Ruth marks a section on the map in the area of the star port.

JULES: That area is the medical center, if I remember correctly. It's been a few years since I was at the star port.

RUTH: Yes, that's the medical area. We believe they're doing some kind of experimentation on the captured subjects, though
we have no evidence.

Seven points to another area of the star port on the map.

SEVEN: This section here, it is also under Dalek control?

RUTH: Yes. That seems to be the main control area. We've been able to determine that all the command and control signals
emanate from that area. It's the old launch control center.

RAMANA: If we were able to get to this area, we would be able to access the Dalek computer network, wouldn't we?

RUTH: But getting there is the real issue. We have this data but it cost us dearly to get it. That place is locked up tighter than
any vault.

DR. WHO: Are there any other access points?

RUTH: Not that we've been able to determine. Possibly some of the devices the Daleks are using.

DR. WHO: Devices?

RUTH: They have large machines that scoop up and process rubble and ruins. The Daleks send these machines out to gather
raw materials and then it construct what they need.

DR. WHO: Hmmm.... That's fascinating.

CUT TO: An entrance point to the subway system. Andy and Eric are standing guard duty with a group of resistance fighters,
including Terry and Jason.

TERRY: So, what's your story?

ANDY: Our story?

TERRY: Yeah, your story. You guys say you're not from around here.

ANDY: That's right. We're originally from the Alpha Quadrant.

JASON: What's an Alpha Quadrant?

ANDY: Our people have mapped the galaxy and divided it up into four geographic regions, or quadrants. We are from the
quadrant we call the Alpha Quadrant. You are across the galaxy in what we call the Delta Quadrant.

JASON: So, how did you get here?

ERIC: That's a long story. You see, I was originally a member of a resistance group called the Maqui. Our government, the
United Federation of Planets, had seeded our world and several others to these spoon headed villains called the Cardassians.

JASON: Why'd they do that?

ANDY: It was a political settlement. We'd been at war with the Cardassians. After the war, tensions were still high. The
politicians decided to redraw the boarders. Some Cardassian worlds were now in Federation space and vice versa.

TERRY: I bet that caused a lot of trouble.

JASON: Sounds like typical, stupid politicians.

ERIC: Anyway, my people didn't like living under the rule of the Spoon Heads.

ANDY: You were given the opportunity to leave, you refused.

ERIC: Would you leave your home just because some politician several hundreds of light-years away decided to give it to the
enemy? It was my home.

TERRY: I take it you weren't one of these Maqui, Andy?

ANDY: No. I follow rules and obey orders like a true Starfleet officer.

TERRY: Starfleet?

ANDY: The military arm of the Federation.

ERIC: As I was saying! We didn't like the Cardassians so we fought them. We caused trouble, disrupted supply lines, etc...
Anything we could do to drive the Spoon Heads from our home.

ANDY: As per the terms of the treaty with the Cardassians, the Federation was responsible for stopping it's former citizens
from causing this trouble. My ship, the USS Voyager, was sent to capture this particular Maqui group.

ERIC: We fled from Voyager and they chased us into the Badlands, a region of space known for its nebula and plasma
storms. A great place to hide. Unfortunately, our ship was captured by a powerful entity and we were dragged here to the
Delta Quadrant.

ANDY: Voyager pursued the Maqui ship into the Badlands, only to be captured and dragged here as well. We've been trying
to get home ever since.

JASON: Wait a minute. An entity? Powerful enough to drag you across the galaxy? What did it want? Why couldn't it take
you back home?

ERIC: Oh, it could have, but our captain made a bone-headed decision and destroyed our way home.

ANDY: Now, Eric. Really. Bone-headed? You would have just let the Ocampa perish?

TERRY: Ocampa? Perhaps you better finish this story.

ANDY: After we were dragged to the Delta Quadrant, we met a powerful sporocystian alien living inside a giant space array
in orbit of the planet Ocampa. This alien was the planets caretaker. The planet would have been inhospitable for the
Ocampans without his care.

ERIC: Only, this caretaker was dying. He tried to use us to replace him but we were incompatible with his technology. As a
last resort, he channeled a huge amount of energy to the Ocampan stores, enough to last them for a long time. Then he died.

JASON: Couldn't you have figured out his array and got it to send you home?

ANDY: The trouble was, there was this group of marauders called the Kazon. If we'd just left, they would have taken the
array, pillaged Ocampa and killed everyone there. We couldn't allow that.

ERIC: So our captain, in her infinite wisdom, destroyed the array so it wouldn't fall into Kazon hands.

JASON: You're right, that was a bone-headed decision.

ANDY: Just as bone-headed as us being here helping you. We could have left you to the Daleks and continued on our way
home but we didn't. Just like the array. Sure, we could have gotten home. But we would have lived with the knowledge that
we sacrificed a group of innocent beings in the process. None of us could have lived with that. Not even you, Eric. Admit it.

ERIC: Yeah, well. Hey, you know what's funny Starfleet.

ANDY: What's that?

ERIC: This story made me think. When we first met, you were sent to capture me and return me to justice.

ANDY: And now?

ERIC: Now we fight side by side and I couldn't think of anyone I'd rather have watching my back.

ANDY: Me either, buddy.

CUT TO: A different entrance. T'racy sits gazing at the night stars. Leonie comes up and joins her.

LEONIE: Penny for your thoughts.

T'RACY: You can't read them?

LEONIE: I could but I try not to pry. What are you thinking about.

T'RACY: Oh, about life, being in Starfleet. You know, I joined Starfleet to explore strange new worlds and to seek out new
life and new civilizations.

LEONIE: To go boldly where no one had gone before?

T'RACY: Exactly.

LEONIE: Well, we've certainly done that. No one from home has ever been anywhere we've been these past five years. You
would think we're the only ship in Starfleet actually living up to those bold words in the charter.

T'RACY: Yet, I can't help but wonder if this is all there is. If this is it.

LEONIE: If what is it?

T'RACY: This. Life. You know. Am I destined to die under an alien sky? Did I come all the way out here just to give up my
life?

LEONIE: Risk is part of the job. It's something we have to face. We'd be risking our life back home. Probably more so.
Remember, that message from home said there was some kind of war going on. We're probably safer here.

T'RACY: Until we landed here. It's just that we've seen so many of our friends die.

LEONIE: Stadi, Darwin

T'RACY: Seska.

LEONIE: Dear Seska. You know, it's hard to believe she turned out the way she did. She had us all fooled.

T'RACY: Even you, my Betazoid friend?

LEONIE: I told you, I don't pry. Oh, sure, there was something about her I thought didn't feel right to my telepathic senses. I
didn't did deeper though. That would be wrong. Just occasionally I'd get these surface thoughts or feelings that would leak out
and didn't add up. Of course, finding out she was really a Cardassian disguised as a Bajoran settled that. Cardassians and
Bajorans don't think alike.

T'RACY: You're telling me.

CUT TO: A supply depot set up in a subway tunnel. D'Alaire is inventorying the supplies, obviously trying to keep busy and
away from the new arrivals. Tim enters the tunnel and approaches her.

TIM: Hey.

D'ALAIRE: What do you want? I told you I don't want to see you.

TIM: I just wanted to thank you for putting in a good word for us to Ruth.

D'ALAIRE: OK, you thanked me. Now go.

TIM: Hey, what's the matter? Why are you so bitter?

D'ALAIRE: Bitter? Who is bitter? Not me, I'm beyond bitter.

TIM: What did I do?

D'ALAIRE: What did you do? That is so like you! Nothing is ever your fault! No, wait. You're right. You didn't do
anything. That's the problem. That was always the problem. Not that you did do something but that you didn't. You never let
me think for myself. You never listened to me. You never considered that I had a brain and thoughts to contribute to anything.

TIM: Whoa. Now, wait. Don't you think you're being harsh?

D'ALAIRE: Harsh? Hah! I'm being accurate. You told me what to do, how to think, where to go, who to talk to. I tried to
talk to you about it but you wouldn't listen.

TIM: I'm sorry. It's just that, what with my father the way he was...

D'ALAIRE: Your father! Always with your father. Well, that defense or excuse of yours isn't working this time. I've heard it
before plenty of times and, you know what, it doesn't make sense. You think you're the only one to come from a dysfunctional
family? You think you're the only one who didn't have proper parental role models? Well think again. My father wasn't the
greatest in the world either. He made all sorts of mistakes.

TIM: I never knew. You never mentioned him.

D'ALAIRE: You're right, I didn't mention him. That's how bad he was. But, you know what? I decided not to let him ruin
my life. I saw the mistakes he made, the wrong decisions he chose. I decided to learn from his mistakes. Sure, I may have the
same tendencies, maybe it is genetic. But I decided to fight those tendencies. I keep thinking how I want to be treated and I
treat others that way. I try hard not to be selfish. I give other people room and I listen to what they have to say. I've decided I
want a relationship with someone who is like that. Not someone selfish like you.

TIM: Oh, well. Hmm. OK. If that's how you really feel.

D'ALAIRE: It is.

TIM: Oh, look D'alaire. I know it's over between us. I can accept that. I'll even leave you alone. It's just a part of me cares
about you, will always care about you. With this war going on and all, I just want to know you're safe. It's a little silly to be
fighting like this when the fate of the entire planet is at stake.

D'ALAIRE: You're right but I had to say what I did. I've rehearsed and practiced it for a long time, priming myself to say it
the next time I saw you.

A rumbling fills the air and dust and gravel fall from the tunnel roof.

TIM: What's that?

D'ALAIRE: I don't know but it doesn't sound good.

CUT TO: The subway entrance. A major fire fight is in progress. Daleks pour into the subway system.

DALEKS: EX-TER-MIN-ATE! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!

Resistance fighters and Starfleet officers fire at the Daleks from behind whatever cover they can find.

RUTH: How did they get in here? How did they find us?

GINNY: I don't know. I've never seen a tin can in the tunnels before.

CUT TO: The entrance to the supply tunnel. Tim and D'alaire run into a group of Daleks entering this part of the tunnels.

DALEKS: RE-SIS-TANCE IS FU-TILE. YOU WILL BE EX-TER-MIN-ATED!

D'alaire crouches and fires at the Daleks. Tim tries to do the same but his phaser seems to misfire.

TIM: Stupid gun. How does this thing work.

D'ALAIRE: You'd better figure it out fast, there's to many of them for me to hold off.

TIM: Ah, forget it. I'll just pop one of these grenades.

D'ALAIRE: No Tim! Don't...

D'alaire's warning falls on deaf ears. Tim pushes a button on his phaser and activates the photon grenade launcher mounted
underneath. A glowing ball lobs from the launcher and hurtles toward the Daleks. The grenade explodes above the group of
Daleks, bringing the entire ceiling support structure down on top of them.

TIM: There, that stopped them.

D'ALAIRE: See! That's what I mean! You don't listen! I told you not to fire the grenade.

TIM: But I stopped them.

D'ALAIRE: But you also blocked the entrance. We'll never dig through that.

With an exasperated sound, D'alaire turns and storms off down the supply tunnel into the darkness.

TIM: Wait, where are you going?

D'ALAIRE: Away from you!

CUT TO: The subway entrance. Ruth and her resistance fighters, Jules, Dr. Who, Ramana K-9, and the Voyager crew are
fighting a losing battle.

SEVEN: We do not seem to be halting the Dalek advance.

DR. WHO: I believe it is time to withdraw.

RUTH: I agree. Ginny, sound the withdraw.

Ginny pulls out a horned instrument and blows into it. A short musical sound fills the area.

RUTH: Everyone! We are pulling out! Withdraw to the fall back point.

JULES: Pulling out? But what about Tim? Where's Tim.

SUZY Q: He went to find D'alaire. That's the last I saw of him.

JULES: We've got to find him!

SUZY Q: It's too late. If they're still alive, they'll catch up with us.

The group of resistance fighters run down the tunnel. At one point Ruth and her group stop and usher everyone else past.
Terry runs up to Ruth from the opposite direction.

RUTH: Is everything in place?

TERRY: Just give the word.

RUTH: Then lets go.

JULES: In place? What's going on?

RUTH: You'll find out. Now, run everybody!

The group runs down the subway tunnel to join the rest of the resistance fighters. Daleks advance along the tunnel toward
them. They catch up with the rest of the group at a ladder leading to the surface. Everyone begins climbing. The ladder leads
up into a structure of some kind.

RUTH: Everyone here?

JULES: Tim! Tim?

GINNY: He's not here, neither is D'alaire. A lot of others are missing too.

RUTH: We'll have time to mourn later.

TERRY: The Daleks are in position.

RUTH: Push it, Terry!

Terry withdraws a small remote control device from his pocket. He lifts the antenna and pushes a button. Explosions rip
through the tunnel and rock the building the group is in.

TERRY: That should stop them long enough for us to get away.

SEVEN: Get away to where?

RUTH: The old sewer tunnels. We have boats there. From there we'll move.

The group head down several corridors until they reach a large underground boat dock. As they enter the dock and board the
boats, a commotion is heard the the murky waters below.

SUZY Q: More Daleks? I never knew they could swim.

GINNY: Neither did I.

TERRY: Look! Over there by that ladder.

All attention is turned toward a ladder leading up from the sewer water below. Two figures emerge from the mucky blackness
and climb up the ladder.

JULES: Tim! It's Tim!

Jules races over to embrace her brother.

TIM: Hey sis.

JULES: Oh, Tim. It is you. I thought you were dead.

D'ALAIRE: No, I saved us.

RUTH: Good to see you, D'alaire.

D'ALAIRE: I figured you would be heading toward the fall back point Ruth. Good thing I remembered the sewer access
points. Tim for once decided to trust my advice and followed me.

TIM: Death may have been a better alternative.

DR. WHO: Well, now that we are all reunited, what is the next plan of attack?

RUTH: I'm leading my forces to the next town to the south. We're going to hook up with the resistance group there. You're
welcome to join us.

DR. WHO: These sewer tunnels, could they take us to the star port?

RUTH: Yes, they should.

GINNY: But why would you want to do that? The star port is Dalek central. That's where the brains are at.

DR. WHO: Exactly. We came here to save your world and that's where we need to go. Now, how do we get there?

JASON: There should be maps in the boats. In the old days, the sewer maintenance workers used these boats. They should
still be supplied.

RUTH: Is there anything we can do to help you, Doctor?

DR. WHO: Yes, actually there is. We will need a big distraction. Could you provide one for us?

RUTH: Well, yes. I suppose.

DR. WHO: Good. When we're in position, we'll need you to start an all out attack on the Dalek recyclers in this city. That
should draw the Daleks attention away from us.

RUTH: How will we know when you're in position?

DR. WHO: We'll leave K-9 with you. When we're ready, I'll whistle for him.

RUTH: Uh, OK.

DR. WHO: Good. Then it's settled. K-9, stay with Ruth and wait for me to whistle.

K-9: Yes, master.

The travelers climb aboard one of the boats.

DR. WHO: Be a good dog now.

K-9: Yes, master. Good-bye, master.

DR. WHO: Ramana, shove off.

Ramana unties the mooring ropes. Eric, Andy, Leonie and T'racy push off with the oars in the boat. The group float off down
the tunnel....

To be continued...

Sure, I may have the same tendencies, maybe it is genetic. But I decided to fight those tendencies. I keep thinking how I want to be treated and I treat others that way. I try hard not to be selfish. I give other people room and I listen to what they have to say. I've decided I want a relationship with someone who is like that. Not someone selfish like you. TIM: Oh, well. Hmm. OK. If that's how you really feel. D'ALAIRE: It is. TIM: Oh, look D'alaire. I know it's over between us. I can accept that. I'll even leave you alone. It's just a part of me cares about you, will always care about you. With this war going on and all, I just want to know you're safe. It's a little silly to be fighting like this when the fate of the entire planet is at stake. D'ALAIRE: You're right but I had to say what I did. I've rehearsed and practiced it for a long time, priming myself to say it the next time I saw you. A rumbling fills the air and dust and gravel fall from the tunnel roof. TIM: What's that? D'ALAIRE: I don't know but it doesn't sound good. CUT TO: The subway entrance. A major fire fight is in progress. Daleks pour into the subway system. DALEKS: EX-TER-MIN-ATE! EX-TER-MIN-ATE! Resistance fighters and Starfleet officers fire at the Daleks from behind whatever cover they can find. RUTH: How did they get in here? How did they find us? GINNY: I don't know. I've never seen a tin can in the tunnels before. CUT TO: The entrance to the supply tunnel. Tim and D'alaire run into a group of Daleks entering this part of the tunnels. DALEKS: RE-SIS-TANCE IS FU-TILE. YOU WILL BE EX-TER-MIN-ATED! D'alaire crouches and fires at the Daleks. Tim tries to do the same but his phaser seems to misfire. TIM: Stupid gun. How does this thing work. D'ALAIRE: You'd better figure it out fast, there's to many of them for me to hold off. TIM: Ah, forget it. I'll just pop one of these grenades. D'ALAIRE: No Tim! Don't... D'alaire's warning falls on deaf ears. Tim pushes a button on his phaser and activates the photon grenade launcher mounted underneath. A glowing ball lobs from the launcher and hurtles toward the Daleks. The grenade explodes above the group of Daleks, bringing the entire ceiling support structure down on top of them. TIM: There, that stopped them. D'ALAIRE: See! That's what I mean! You don't listen! I told you not to fire the grenade. TIM: But I stopped them. D'ALAIRE: But you also blocked the entrance. We'll never dig through that. With an exasperated sound, D'alaire turns and storms off down the supply tunnel into the darkness. TIM: Wait, where are you going? D'ALAIRE: Away from you! CUT TO: The subway entrance. Ruth and her resistance fighters, Jules, Dr. Who, Ramana K-9, and the Voyager crew are fighting a losing battle. SEVEN: We do not seem to be halting the Dalek advance. DR. WHO: I believe it is time to withdraw. RUTH: I agree. Ginny, sound the withdraw. Ginny pulls out a horned instrument and blows into it. A short musical sound fills the area. RUTH: Everyone! We are pulling out! Withdraw to the fall back point. JULES: Pulling out? But what about Tim? Where's Tim. SUZY Q: He went to find D'alaire. That's the last I saw of him. JULES: We've got to find him! SUZY Q: It's too late. If they're still alive, they'll catch up with us. The group of resistance fighters run down the tunnel. At one point Ruth and her group stop and usher everyone else past. Terry runs up to Ruth from the opposite direction. RUTH: Is everything in place? TERRY: Just give the word. RUTH: Then lets go. JULES: In place? What's going on? RUTH: You'll find out. Now, run everybody! The group runs down the subway tunnel to join the rest of the resistance fighters. Daleks advance along the tunnel toward them. They catch up with the rest of the group at a ladder leading to the surface. Everyone begins climbing. The ladder leads up into a structure of some kind. RUTH: Everyone here? JULES: Tim! Tim? GINNY: He's not here, neither is D'alaire. A lot of others are missing too. RUTH: We'll have time to mourn later. TERRY: The Daleks are in position. RUTH: Push it, Terry! Terry withdraws a small remote control device from his pocket. He lifts the antenna and pushes a button. Explosions rip through the tunnel and rock the building the group is in. TERRY: That should stop them long enough for us to get away. SEVEN: Get away to where? RUTH: The old sewer tunnels. We have boats there. From there we'll move. The group head down several corridors until they reach a large underground boat dock. As they enter the dock and board the boats, a commotion is heard the the murky waters below. SUZY Q: More Daleks? I never knew they could swim. GINNY: Neither did I. TERRY: Look! Over there by that ladder. All attention is turned toward a ladder leading up from the sewer water below. Two figures emerge from the mucky blackness and climb up the ladder. JULES: Tim! It's Tim! Jules races over to embrace her brother. TIM: Hey sis. JULES: Oh, Tim. It is you. I thought you were dead. D'ALAIRE: No, I saved us. RUTH: Good to see you, D'alaire. D'ALAIRE: I figured you would be heading toward the fall back point Ruth. Good thing I remembered the sewer access points. Tim for once decided to trust my advice and followed me. TIM: Death may have been a better alternative. DR. WHO: Well, now that we are all reunited, what is the next plan of attack? RUTH: I'm leading my forces to the next town to the south. We're going to hook up with the resistance group there. You're welcome to join us. DR. WHO: These sewer tunnels, could they take us to the star port? RUTH: Yes, they should. GINNY: But why would you want to do that? The star port is Dalek central. That's where the brains are at. DR. WHO: Exactly. We came here to save your world and that's where we need to go. Now, how do we get there? JASON: There should be maps in the boats. In the old days, the sewer maintenance workers used these boats. They should still be supplied. RUTH: Is there anything we can do to help you, Doctor? DR. WHO: Yes, actually there is. We will need a big distraction. Could you provide one for us? RUTH: Well, yes. I suppose. DR. WHO: Good. When we're in position, we'll need you to start an all out attack on the Dalek recyclers in this city. That should draw the Daleks attention away from us. RUTH: How will we know when you're in position? DR. WHO: We'll leave K-9 with you. When we're ready, I'll whistle for him. RUTH: Uh, OK. DR. WHO: Good. Then it's settled. K-9, stay with Ruth and wait for me to whistle. K-9: Yes, master. The travelers climb aboard one of the boats. DR. WHO: Be a good dog now. K-9: Yes, master. Good-bye, master. DR. WHO: Ramana, shove off. Ramana unties the mooring ropes. Eric, Andy, Leonie and T'racy push off with the oars in the boat. The group float off down the tunnel.... To be continued...
