What? * Vicki- gets up and realizes her underwear's showing and pulls down her skirt The fault locator? I think, yes, I think there might be a problem with the directional controls. The _directional_ controls? Well, what should I look for? I mean, there's this weird swirly thing. Over there, girl. * First_Doctor gestures, irritated Oh. It looks fine, Doctor! Let me look at that. * First_Doctor pushes past Vicki Hey! * First_Doctor presses random buttons * Vicki- pouts but stops when she realizes the Doctor didn't notice Now look, child. These buttons here are the ones you should be pressing. There you are, you see. Hoo hoo hoo! Oh? Now, those numbers indicate the directional controls. * StevenTaylor wonders why the Doctor is letting a child run the TARDIS * Vicki- presses the buttons Like that? Oh! And that code means we're crashing... * Vicki- crashes to the floor as the TARDIS starts spinning weirdly Oh dear! AIEE! * First_Doctor topples to the floor * Vicki- is falling all over the place * Vicki- is giving the console room and everyone in it a good view of her pants Aiee! * StevenTaylor thinks he was better off with the Mechanoids :raving: The consoles, Chatterton, the consoles! * Console starts to fizzle * Console starts to bleep Oh dear. * First_Doctor cluches the console * TheRani stands outside, on a long white beach, and laughs as she sees the TARDIS streak down from the heavens * TheRani tucks the little gun under her arm and returns to her TARDIS ::title credits:: * BlondeBimbo looks for someone to play beach volleyball with * Blonde_Bimbette bounces over to BlondeBimbo * Blonde_Bimbette offers to play ball with BlondeBimbo * Thorr approaches the blondes, all teeth and blonde waves and shiny pecs * Blonde_Bimbette realizes Thorr is noticing her and pouts prettily * Blonde_Bimbette grins at Thorr like an airhead * BlondeBimbo serves volleyball to Blonde_Bimbette * Blonde_Bimbette volleys it back * Thorr jerks his head at Bimbo Hey. * BlondeBimbo notices Thorr and isn't paying attention * BlondeBimbo bats her eyelashes at Thorr * VolleyBall hits Bimbo on the head * Blonde_Bimbette giggles Ouch! Owie owie, ball hurt! * BlondeBimbo giggles * Blonde_Bimbette bouces over Are you hurt? Awwww. Are you alright? Oh, I'm fine. * Thorr strokes Bimbo's hair Wouldn't want to bruise that pretty face of yours. I need more volleyball lessons! Here, let me show you. * Thorr helps Bimbo to her feet * BlondeBimbo thanks Thorr The most important stroke... * Thorr pauses Yes, yes? ...is the bounce. * Thorr leers at Bimbo Oooh, bounce. I can bounce! * BlondeBimbo bounces Yes, yes, very good. * Blonde_Bimbette bounces sadly away But let me show you what I had in mind. * BlondeBimbo looks with interest at Thorr * Thorr calls after Bimbette * Blonde_Bimbette turns Don't go away! Your turn is coming up! * Blonde_Bimbette bounces back * Thorr wraps his arms around Bimbo's waist * Beach_Ball sits in the sand * Blonde_Bimbette picks up the beachball on the way Here, hold your arms like this, palms up. Ooh... * BlondeBimbo does as the nice blonde man says Squat down low... I'm Bambi, by the way...what's your name? Thorr. Like the god. * BlondeBimbo swoons Oooh. I'm Barbie. * Pheromones waft across the breeze Thorr, so are you a volleyball player? I dabble. Such nice muscles...

Is genetic material-type thing, yes? * TheRani looks distastefully at the mess on the floor Is on walls splattered slightly, perhaps. Bring it into the laboratory. Then clean the room up. * TheRani turns on a heel and stalks out * BlondeBimbo and Bimbette's bikinis lie empty and bloodstained on the floor * Thorr returns to hir natural Sloathe shape Is pleasifying Rani mistress-type, yes? * Thorr follows Rani into the interior of her TARDIS ***** * Vicki- gets off the floor slowly * First_Doctor clambers up the console * First_Doctor gasps What was that? * StevenTaylor knows they're lost again Oh dear, that was a little rough. A little rough? I almost lost my supper! Or was it my breakfast? :tetchy mode: How should I know, girl? * Vicki- puts her thumb on her chin thoughtfully I have to check the controls. Anyway, where are we? * Vicki- says that unbelievably cheerfully Now, let's see... * StevenTaylor thinks Vicki puts too much faith in the Doctor Hmm, Earth. Yes, Earth, I'd say. Earth? Again? And possibly even the Milky Way, too. Can we see the scanner, Doctor? Can we? All right, my child. * First_Doctor operates the scanner control * Scanner shows a beach * Vicki- sees people in strange outfits Hmm, perhaps I should dig out my speedos, hmm? Speedos? What are those? * Vicki- blinks confusedly at the Doctor Ah, they'd be before your time, my girl. Don't you know anything, Vicki? Speedos are very fast cars. Well, I must change! Yes, yes. * Vicki- goes to the wardrobe room Now Steven, I don't want to alarm Vicki...that's why I waited for her to leave. Doctor, she already is... I think we may have been brought here *deliberately.* Doctor, sounds like you're just trying to sound like you're not lost again. Herumph. It's nothing of the... the kind, dear boy. * First_Doctor indicates the control panel We've clearly been drawn off course by some sort of dimen... some sort of tractor beam! So we're in the past, eh, Doctor? At least it's not Vikings. Certainly not! I should think we'd be better off without Vikings. No, by the looks of the controls, we're quite close... Yes, quite close to Ian and Barbara's time. Do you remember them? Nice couple. Such a pity... * First_Doctor draws himself up Doctor - I'm suprised YOU remember them, to be honest... There's nothing wrong with my memory. * First_Doctor huffs It's as clear as the day I... ah... It's as clear as yesterday. Well, once Vicki gets back... * Vicki- steps out in the console room in a one-piece from 1912 Ah, there you are. Well, enough of this dallying, shall we take a look outside? Doctor! Steven! Can we go out and explore? * StevenTaylor mumbles that he hopes Vicki steps on a crab * First_Doctor operates the door control * Vicki- jumps out in her 1912 outfit, sure that she's perfectly dressed Now, remember to be careful and not to talk to strange, erm, people. * Vicki- barely hears him Sure, Doctor! * Vicki- runs about in the sand * Vicki- loves the feel of the sand between her toes Come along, Steven. Yes, Doctor. * First_Doctor wombles out of the TARDIS * StevenTaylor comes out overly dressed for the beach - long sleeves and pants Come along, we haven't got 'til tea time. * First_Doctor turns and locks the TARDIS door * Vicki- has gone off running to the water Doctor, how about giving me a key to the TARDIS? * First_Doctor looks at Steven sternly Just in case something happens. No, my boy, the key is perfectly safe with me. * Vicki- loves the feel of the water Look, I'll put it in my pocket. So. See? * Vicki- makes obnoxious noises and splashes about * First_Doctor fumbles and drops the key Oh. * First_Doctor bends down to pick up the key * StevenTaylor quickly grabs the key Doctor...see? Oh. * First_Doctor sighs * First_Doctor huffs * StevenTaylor pockets the key ***** * Vicki- continues to splash about * Vicki- starts humming something that sounds eerily similar to the Smurfs theme * TheRani stands in the console room of her TARDIS looking at a monitor * TheRani watches the image as transmitted by a flying device * TheRani smiles as it focuses on a girl splashing in the surf Perfect. * HoverBot hovers around above the beach * Vicki- continues humming, blissfully unaware of anything wrong * TheRani decides it is time to engineer a little disturbance... * Vicki- giggles * Vicki- thinks, finally somewhere without any scary monsters trying to attack you Is being yellow head-growing girl, yes? Precisely, Thorr. Fetch her. Is obeying right now, chop chop, yessiree! * Thorr morphs into surf stud ***** Steven, my boy. Let me tell you about the man who left... Um...where was I? Now, Doctor, let's not be trouble. * First_Doctor glares at Steven Now look, young man. This is *my* ship and *my* key. I insist you return it immediately! Look, Doctor...what if something happens to you...what's me and Vicki to do? We'll be stranded. My dear boy, if something happens to me, who will pilot the TARDIS? Hmm? Doctor...I AM a space pilot, you know! * First_Doctor chuckles The difference between my ship and your flying machines is immense, dear boy. You'd probably end up in Timbuktu! I'm sure I can figure it out - after all, Vicki just piloted it. * First_Doctor herumphs And she's just a girl. Yes, I know that's a great handicap for her... However, she was merely operating the fault locator for me. No piloting at all. See? Where IS Vicki, Doctor? * First_Doctor looks around She's gone! Well, she can't have gone far. Hmm? C'mon, Doctor. Perhaps we had better look for her. * StevenTaylor begins to run in a random direction * First_Doctor ambles after him ***** * HoverBot hovers over to Vicki and bleeps * Vicki- suddenly sneezes loudly * HoverBot bleeps at Vicki some more, trying to get her attention Oh, it's me nose running! * Vicki- finally notices the bleep * Vicki- peers at the hoverbot Hullo? * HoverBot extracts a claw from a compartment * Vicki- gasps * Vicki- starts shreaking * Vicki- starts running away from it AIEEEEE! VICKI! This way, Doctor! Vicki?! * StevenTaylor runs to the screaming * First_Doctor ambles after Steven * First_Doctor waves his cane as he "runs" * HoverBot takes Vicki in its claw and drags her to the Rani's TARDIS No! Help! DOCTOR! STEVEN! * Vicki- makes hideous noises HELP ME! * StevenTaylor sees Vicki being dragged away Vicki! * Vicki- tries to scramble away and feels a claw dig into her flesh * Vicki- screams in pain * Vicki- can't get free from the contraption Noooo!!! I say! * Vicki- sees Steven, but it is too late * Thorr bumps into the hoverbot * HoverBot drops Vicki at Thorr's feet * Thorr hits the hoverbot with his fist, knocking it to the ground * HoverBot spins out of control * HoverBot crashes into a sand dune * Vicki- notices Thorr Here, I'll protect you! This way! * Vicki- is in tremendous pain Help! Somebody! Help! YOU GREAT BIG THINGAMEE! I'm trying to help! Stop hitting me! * Thorr produces more pheromones Oh. Thank you. I'm sorry. I - What _IS_ that? I don't know! I never seen anything like it before! I must find the Doctor! * Vicki- starts walking away Wait! I know some first aid! * Thorr cranks out even more pheromones * Thorr wonders why they aren't working * Vicki- starts wondering off in a daze * Thorr sees Vicki disappear over a dune * Thorr slips on a fish * Thorr falls on his tight buttocks * TheRani walks out of her TARDIS, disguised as a nurse * TheRani spots Vicki and, lifting up her skirts, runs over Oh, dear, dear! * TheRani fusses over Vicki as she approaches I thought I heard a ruckus out here! Hello? Hello, dear. Are you all right? Your arm looks rather nasty. Come with me, dear. You can call me Queenie. Just go to that building over there - I'll be there in a moment. * TheRani ushers Vicki on her way ***** Vicki was grabbed by a machine! Yes, my boy, I saw. We must help her!!! * First_Doctor waves his cane in a violent manner * StevenTaylor runs after the machine Get it, my boy! * HoverBot bleeps quietly * First_Doctor finally staggers up, panting She's disappeared, Doctor. That machine thing took her away. We must find her, Chetterton. * First_Doctor looks around wildly * HoverBot digs itself out of the sand My name is NOT Chetterton. Stop arguing and help me. She went this way. * StevenTaylor realizes the old boy can't keep up and helps him Ah, thank you, my boy. * HoverBot flies into the air Now, where's that girl gotten to? * First_Doctor waves his stick in a violent manner again I think over here, Doctor. * HoverBot hovers in the air, looking for Vicki ***** * Vicki- starts screaming as soon as she sees the hoverbot But it's got claws! It's going to claw me! * HoverBot stops and chases after the Doctor and Steven * TheRani turns to the side and stabs at her mini-bracelet Thorr! Delay the others while I take care of the girl. Is right-away making! Is fish-hating stupid water things. * Thorr kicks the fish aside and heads for the Doctor and Steven What is that? Who ARE you? * Vicki- says this is an a whiny tone of voice * TheRani turns it off and looks back at Vicki Now, dear, what's the trouble? I need to find my friends! * TheRani puts a hand around Vicki's shoulders and leads her toward the abandoned lifeguard post Thank you, thank you, thank you, sweet ladies! * Vicki- is delirious Now, dear, I can't possibly let you go wandering off with your arm in such a state. * Vicki-'s gut feeling tells her to get away * Vicki- tries to pull away * TheRani grabs Vicki's other arm more tightly Come with me. * TheRani drags Vicki to her TARDIS But I must find the Doctor! * Vicki- tries to escape her strong grip * TheRani sighs and pulls a syringe out from her other sleeve * Vicki- SCREAMS * TheRani sticks Vicki in the arm with it * Vicki- suddenly is unconscious * TheRani hefts Vicki over her shoulder and marches back to the TARDIS ***** * StevenTaylor figures they have lost the trail I think... yes, dear boy? * HoverBot finds Steven Hmm. Perhaps... Doctor, LOOK AT THIS! * StevenTaylor points to HoverBot * First_Doctor spots the hoverbot What's that? I was hoping you'd know. * Thorr throws a rock at HoverBot, just for good measure * HoverBot spins out of control * HoverBot crashes into another sand dune Whatever it is is crashing. * HoverBot bleeps angrily * Thorr mutters under breath: Is stupid robot type thing in-horning my job! Aha! I think I've found something, Steven! * First_Doctor ambles over to the hoverbot * StevenTaylor slowly approaches the hoverbot What IS it, Doctor? Well, I'd say, yes, my boy, I'd say, it appears to be some sort of flying contraption. * First_Doctor prods the Hoverbot with his cane I knew THAT much, Doctor. We saw it fly. Well, why did you ask me then, hmm? * First_Doctor shakes his head, sorrowfully * Thorr approaches the travelers Whoa, dude! Whatcha got there? But why is it flying here? Is it a weapon of some sort? Well, let's have a look, shall we? Be careful, Doctor. Er, dudes? * Thorr taps the Doctor on the shoulder Hmm, what? * First_Doctor turns Oh, hello, young man. Who are you? * HoverBot digs himself out of the sand (again) Whoa! What's that! Get down! It's coming back at us! * First_Doctor spots the bot and staggers back * First_Doctor waves his cane at the bot I'll deal to you! * First_Doctor fwaps the bot with his cane * StevenTaylor is slow to get down * HoverBot bleeps as it hovers in the air again Yes, I say! * First_Doctor fwaps the bot again * First_Doctor waves his cane over his head * Thorr is knocked over by the cane * First_Doctor baps the bot again * HoverBot runs a diagnostic... any more hits, punches or rocks... * HoverBot bleeps and moves behind a dune Hoo, hoo! Did you see that, my boy! Good show, Doctor! * Thorr rubs his head and sways a bit * First_Doctor brandishes his cane Whoa. * The_World swims before Thorr's eyes Remind me not to get on your bad side, Doctor. * TheRani punches her mini-bracelet again, recalling the hoverbot * TheRani then returns to her laboratory, where Vicki is lying, unconscious, on a padded chair * HoverBot bleeps and returns to the Rani's TARDIS * HoverBot hovers and flies drunkenly * Vicki- sings the Smurf-like song in her drugged sleep * Vicki- sings this but it's more of a constant neverending drone rather than humming or singing * TheRani selects a box from a row of shelves on the wall, and takes a capsule from it * TheRani crosses over to Vicki and snaps the capsule under her nose * TheRani watches as minute powder particles fly up Vicki's nostrils when she breathes in * Vicki- makes a loud noise signifying huge disgust There, that should wake her. * TheRani takes off her nurse's cap What? What's happening?! Where am I?! * TheRani steps out of the nurse gown, revealing her magnificent purple-and-black outfit You're in my laboratory. * TheRani tosses the disguise into a corner then walks up to Vicki You're not a nurse! * TheRani pulls the hair from Vicki's temple and examines the roots * Vicki- screams as her hair is pulled viciously Naturally blonde. Excellent. You'll do. What do you mean "you'll do"? What's going on?!! * TheRani pauses, then decides to tell Vicki * HoverBot crashes into the Rani's TARDIS I come from a planet called Miasimia Goria, and the natives are restless. Have you ever met a Miasimia Gorian? My eyes are all goryian? * TheRani tuts and turns away, rummaging through vials of chemicals The end of it all is, they need genetic material for blonde hair, and you can provide it. Genetic material? So you just need a cell sample? * TheRani finds a scalpel and turns around with it oh. Oh no, considerably more than that. But, but you shouldn't need more than that! That should be all you need! * Vicki- sputters Cloning techniques on the planet are very primitive, you see. * Vicki- looks around her TARDIS, suprisingly alert THIS doesn't look very primitive. No, it isn't. But I haven't the equipment to clone as much material as I need. * Vicki- tries to break her bonds and she can't * Vicki- thinks of screaming * HoverBot lands in the sand next to the Rani's TARDIS with a soft thump The Doctor and Steven will find me and save me! Oh no. By the time they arrive, it will be far too late for you. So what do the amphigorey people have to do with this? * TheRani reaches out and swipes a lock of hair off Vicki's head for analysis Aiee! * TheRani shrugs as she walks over to a genetic sequencer They're vain, to put it simply. They're so vain. They probably think this story's about them? * Vicki- shakes her head, wondering why she just said that * TheRani quits talking and bends over the sequencer ***** * Thorr is still sitting in the sand, surrounded by pheromones Little help here, guys? Doctor, what shall we do? Er, help the blonde dude up for a start? Ah, my boy, that is the query... er, question. * SurferDude walks past the Doctor and Steven We must find Vicki! * Thorr tries to stand up and fails * First_Doctor offers Thorr a hand And who is that Thorr person? * Thorr swats the Doctor's hand away Hands off, old dude! * First_Doctor falls over Oh dear. Hey, you! * StevenTaylor tackles Thorr * Thorr feels an electric spark run through him * Thorr's pheromones start a feedback sequence * Thorr looks up dreamily at Steven, who has pinned him to the ground * SurferDude stops, drops his surfboard and turns to help Thorr Who do you think you are? Whoever you want me to be. And what do you mean by that? * Thorr shakes his head Whoa. * FirstDoctor staggers up using his cane Bloodrush. Someone should teach *you* some manners. I've got this no-good ruffian down, Doctor. Are you okay? Yes, my boy. I'm just a little bruised. Like, I didn't mean to knock you down, man. But you hit me with your cane. * SurferDude grabs Steven and asks him if he knows any good waves Um, sorry, I'm not from around here. * SurferDude sighs and walks away What shall we do with him? Anything you want, man. * Thorr grins at Steven I think we should tie him up. Hmm, perhaps you're right, my boy. * First_Doctor still looks a little dazed * Thorr's eyes light up Bondage! Cool. Bandage? You need a bandage? No, I don't think I'll require one of those. But thank you for offering. * First_Doctor rubs his forehead * StevenTaylor gets some rope out of his pack and ties Thorr's hands * Thorr shudders * StevenTaylor gets up * Thorr swoons Now. We must find Vicki. I wish I knew. * First_Doctor looks around uncertainly Perhaps, hmm, if we go in the same direction that flying thing was, erm, going. Okay, shall we take our prisoner? Hmm, yes, that way I think. Hmm, what's that? Flay the prisoner? No, I don't think that will be necessary. Flay? No, TAKE him. Yes, yes, I heard you the first time. Bring him along then, will you, Steven? * StevenTaylor helps Thorr up Hey, dude! What's your name! Dude? Are you referring to me? Yeah, Babe. Take me anywhere, just tell me your name. My name is Steven, and no trouble from you or I'll gag you! * First_Doctor starts wandering in the same direction the bot went Steven... Steve... Stevie... I'll call you Stevie! * StevenTaylor pushes Thorr ahead of him Gee, I'm honored. Not so much as I, like, uh... * First_Doctor potters amongst the sand dunes Your radiance, uh, shine on me. * Thorr grins at his poetic talent * Thorr turns around and walks backward in front of Steven * First_Doctor looks around to see if Steven is following him * StevenTaylor is coming along with Thorr in tow Yeah! * Thorr is grinning like an idiot ***** * TheRani returns to Vicki's side I don't see why blonde hair has anything to do with them. Your genetic material is perfect. Once Thorr returns, we can harvest it. * TheRani ponders putting Vicki to sleep again, but decides against it * TheRani sets the scalpel on a countertop next to Vicki, to frighten her a bit, then leaves * Vicki- starts sweating * Vicki- suddenly thinks if she could only somehow move the chair so the scalpel could rub against the bonds and set her free * Vicki- attempts to do this * TheRani stabs on her minibracelet Thorr! Where are you? * TheRani mutters: The idiot... * Vicki- falls to the floor in her chair * Vicki- slowly gets up, hoping the Rani didn't hear * Vicki- attempts this again It's working! * TheRani tries amplifying the sending power of the bracelet Thorr! Ooh. * TheRani punches it off again * TheRani tries to activate the hoverbot * HoverBot silently bleeps, hearing the Rani's call * HoverBot tries to dig itself out of the sand, but fails...damaged too much * Vicki-'s arms are almost free * TheRani fiddles with the controls, but the hoverbot is not responding * Vicki- is free * TheRani turns the control off and returns to the lab to check up on Vicki * Vicki- tries to find the entrance * TheRani comes into the room and stops, startled - she's not in the chair! * TheRani looks around for Vicki * Vicki- has hidden and sees the Rani * TheRani walks further into the room, stepping carefully * Vicki- hits the Rani over the head with a convenient vase nearby * TheRani collapses to the ground amidst shards of Oolean pottery * TheRani knew she shouldn't have put the vase in the laboratory! Stupid aesthetic pleasures... * Vicki- tries to get the Rani up and ties her to the chair * Vicki- feels a tingle of excitement in her loins * Vicki- thinks that was fun and is ashamed of this * Vicki- quickly runs away * TheRani quickly awakens from her groggy state to find herself strapped into the chair * TheRani screams in rage and struggles against the bonds * Vicki- is running down the dune towards where she thinks the TARDIS is * Vicki- is yelling for the Doctor and Steven in an annoying fashion * TheRani manages to snap the restraints - they weren't done very tightly - and after a moment's pause, sets out after Vicki * HoverBot _finally_ digs itself out of the sand DOCTOR! STEVEN! * Vicki- sees the Doctor in the distance * First_Doctor hears the shouting and looks around. * TheRani runs out of her TARDIS, after Vicki * HoverBot bleeps silently as the Rani runs past * Thorr sees some blonde chick calling for his Stevie * Vicki- starts running faster and she is breathing faster * TheRani raises her stun-gun and tries to shoot Vicki * TheRani misses and the beam hits a sunbather Child! * Thorr breaks out of his bonds and takes off running toward Vicki AIEE! Hey you! You're supposed to be tied up! You! Doctor! My dear child. What *has* been happening? YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM, HE'S MINE! What do you mean? The Doctor's yours? * Vicki- hides behind the Doctor's coattails * Thorr tackles Vicki to the ground * Vicki- is too late! Thorr, get her! Is what doing am I yes! * Thorr growls Bring her to me! Steven, stop that fellow! * First_Doctor waves his stick at Thorr STEVEN IS MINE! Steven? * Vicki- starts laughing I don't fancy Steven! Yuck! I fancy girls, silly! * StevenTaylor attacks Thorr * Thorr morphs into Sloathe form * Thorr lashes out, and accidentally hits Steven * StevenTaylor falls unconscious Oh dear. * Vicki- gets out of his grasp Doctor, what IS going on here??? Is no! Is not what meaning I! * First_Doctor fwaps Thorr Is hurting Stevie-type thing! * HoverBot bleeps again... ignored That that, you hid...er... ugly thing. * Thorr hovers down over Steven Is weeping for pain is I. Thorr, you cretin! Bring the girl NOW! * Vicki- is clinging to the Doctor's coattails, or whatever there is of them Leave the boy! It's the girl I want! IS SICK-BECOMING OF RANI PERSON ORDERING YES! Doctor, what's happening?? * First_Doctor swivels to look at the Rani * TheRani taps at her mini-bracelet, instructing the hoverbot to get Vicki * Thorr morphs into a twelve-foot tall hairy beast Hoo hoo. Child, I think our opponent is about to get a surprise... * TheRani changes that order, and asks the bot to keep Thorr away... * TheRani backs away from Thorr What opponent? Who IS she? * First_Doctor produces a pair of half-frame glasses. Why, I do believe it's the Rani! * HoverBot bleeps in response, rises 2 feet then crashes into the sand again * Thorr roars into the sky * TheRani frowns, then turns and runs back to her TARDIS * Thorr steps on HoverBot, squashing it flat * StevenTaylor slowly wakes up What's going on? * Vicki- continues asking questions loudly and obnoxiously Vicki, are you okay! Steven, I think so. The Rani said she was going to scalpel me for the good of the orgasmagories! * HoverBot bleeps one last bleep The Rani! What's a Rani? It's a sort of hat, dear boy, but there's no time for that now. The Rani might get rid of that thing. * TheRani closes the doors and her TARDIS dematerializes She, yes, we were at school together. Doctor, that must have been a LONG time ago - she looks so young. You were at school with HER? How can you and her be in school together - did you teach her? No, no, we were students together. It's all very comp... difficult to explain. * Thorr swipes at Rani's TARDIS * Thorr roars again * TheRani must re-start her experiments now... * TheRani thinks she needs some new servants, too. Maybe Tetrapyriarbus... * Thorr's claws slash through thin air as the TARDIS dematerializes * Thorr rounds on the Doctor et al... And who is that strange creature? I really don't know, child. And why did he attack me? * Thorr heads for Vicki, snarling and drooling Now, I think we should get back to the ship immediately... yes... * Vicki- notices Thorr Uh-oh...I think so too! VICKI! * Vicki- starts backing off * First_Doctor waves his cane in a menacing fashion * Thorr reaches down and picks Vicki up off the ground * Vicki- screams * Vicki- tries to fight him off with her fists * BoomBox is playing "Help Me Rhonda" on a nearby section of the beach * BoomBox is playing a Beach Boys CD Unhand her immidately! * First_Doctor fwaps Thorr with his cane YOU GREAT BIG... err GREAT BIG... err SOMETHING! I've had just enough of you! * StevenTaylor beats Thorr with his fists * Thorr drops Vicki in the soft sand Oof! * Thorr looks at Steven with incomprehension * Thorr shrinks down to size Look, you - why don't you leave us alone! Is why hitting me, my love you are? Thorr wants Steven for his mate? * HoverBot bleeps again * HoverBot was only pushed into the sand, not made flat as a pancake * Thorr absentmindedly smashes HoverBot with a pseudopod * HoverBot bleeps... hit again... * First_Doctor chuckles Doctor... * Vicki- nudges the Doctor Yes, child? Why doees he talk so strangely? Well, I'd say... erm... And why does he keep on CHANGING? Well, maybe... hmm... * HoverBot bleeps and flies after Thorr... looking for revenge I AM NOT YOUR LOVE! * Thorr morphs into surfer stud mode Is ditching little bitch and old fart and making to come with me, yes? * Vicki- pretends not to hear that * First_Doctor looks flabberghasted. * Vicki- doesn't think the Doctor's a little bitch... * Thorr takes Steven's hand gently * BoomBox fades out and "Wouldn't it Be Nice" begins to play * StevenTaylor jerks it away - and makes for the TARDIS * Thorr hangs hir head dejectedly * Thorr does not watch Steven walk away * First_Doctor ambles after Steven * HoverBot extracts a metal mallet from its body * HoverBot sneaks up on Thorr and hits him on the head with the mallet I guess we better be, err, off.
