Back in the lab, the Doctor and Davros were working as best they could, given the circumstances. \u201c\u2026So, Davros,\u201d said the Doctor, \u201chow did you get to this time in the first place? Because there\u2019s no way a time corridor could extend that far and Dalek Time Ships don\u2019t exactly recognize non-Dalek DNA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEarly Dalek Time Ships do,\u201d replied Davros. \u201cEspecially ones modeled after a TARDIS.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou stole one of the Daleks\u2019 knock-off TARDIS\u2019s?\u201d scoffed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt serves its purpose!\u201d snapped Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo what\u2019s it called? A DARDIS?\u201d chuckled the Doctor. Davros said nothing, just went on with his work. \u201c\u2026I was joking!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what the rest of time and space calls it!\u201d snapped Davros. The door then opened. \u201cDr. Hemlock, we would prefer-!\u201d His complaint was cut off as he felt fingers wrapping around his throat, cutting off his air! The Doctor knew what that meant! She whirled around with the device she built and pressed the button. Vader suddenly stumbled and clutched his chest as if his breathing apparatus was malfunctioning\u2026which it was, thanks to the Doctor\u2019s gadget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLORD VADER!\u201d yelped Dr. Hemlock. The Doctor grabbed Davros as he coughed while resuming his breathing, then ran out of the lab. Vader regained control and ignited his lightsaber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Doctor and her friends are not to leave this facility alive!\u201d he ordered the Stormtroopers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With their usual accuracy, all Stormtroopers fired on the Doctor and Davros as they ran to Amy and Lurra Rus\u2019 cell. The Doctor peeked through the window and saw Amy waving her hand at someone (Lurra Rus, the Doctor correctly guessed) to stop what they were doing. The Doctor checked the door and it opened. \u201cMuch as I applaud you and Miss Rus waiting for the Stormtroopers to be somewhere else,\u201d she said, \u201cand much as I applaud Lurra Rus\u2019 engineering a way out for you two, we\u2019re pressed for time! Out, you two!\u201d Amy and Lurra Rus followed the Doctor. \u201cDavros, there had better be a place we can hole up in here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis way!\u201d called Davros. He led everyone to a disused lab and locked the door. The Doctor immediately started looking for something to use as Amy and Lurra Rus started blockading the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho are you gonna help?\u201d Amy asked Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019d like to know the Doctor\u2019s plan for the immediate future,\u201d replied Davros, \u201cgiven Vader\u2019s own abilities!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll find something,\u201d mused the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Then I\u2019ll help with the blockade,\u201d remarked Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo that\u2019s Davros, Doctor?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Erm, yes,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cHow on Earth did you know?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVader made a comment when he killed someone who failed him about dealing with you and the last of the Kaleds, and I remembered what you told us about the Daleks the first time me and William met them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAn excellent deduction, Miss\u2026\u201d said Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRose. Amy Rose. And this is Lurra-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, thank you,\u201d said Davros as he worked on the door lock. \u201cMiss Rus and I are well acquainted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019s the one that supplied Dr. Hemlock my M-Count reading,\u201d explained Lurra Rus. The door lock buzzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve changed the lock code,\u201d reported Davros. \u201cThat should add to the time the barricade can give us. Unless the Doctor uses her device to make it just a little more lethal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2019t,\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToo afraid to, Doctor?\u201d asked Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVader will die in 4 ABY,\u201d explained the Doctor. \u201cSame as the Emperor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBBY, ABY, what ARE those supposed to mean?!\u201d asked Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBefore the Battle of Yavin and After the Battle of Yavin,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cA major victory for the Rebel Alliance that will happen in 18 years\u2019 time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026A victory?\u201d asked Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, should we tell her that?\u201d gulped Amy. \u201cI mean, we don\u2019t know-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, I\u2019ve seen it before,\u201d interrupted the Doctor. \u201cThat look in her eyes, a desire for a new beginning. \u2026Lurra Rus, when we get out of this, do you want to come with us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs this how you usually claim your companions, Doctor?\u201d asked Davros. \u201cYou make them an offer to join?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt works most of the time,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cOf course, they CAN say no.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Doctor, Amy and I HAVE discussed this,\u201d said Lurra Rus. \u201cAnd if you can find me a good home along the way, then I shall join you. But first things first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, an escape route is essential here,\u201d agreed the Doctor. \u201cAnd getting Davros away from all this genetic engineering malarkey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd how, pray tell, do you intend to get me into your TARDIS?\u201d scoffed Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, believe it or not, I have options on that front,\u201d chuckled the Doctor. \u201cSome of them, ideally, don\u2019t involve you in the TARDIS. AHA!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDavros, did you outfit your DARDIS with a chameleon circuit?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI never learned how to,\u201d replied Davros. \u201cI just piled junk around it. Not my most ingenious of disguises.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSometimes simple works. And that\u2019s why you chose this laboratory, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Very clever, Doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026DARDIS?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDalek TARDIS knock-off,\u201d explained the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs it-?\u201d quizzed Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBigger on the inside, yes,\u201d confirmed the Doctor. \u201cDavros, where is it?\u201d Davros was about to make a snide remark, then a blade of red light pierced through the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHE\u2019S GETTING THROUGH!\u201d warned Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOver here!\u201d called Davros. He pulled away junk to reveal a cylindrical ship with four facades and no visible doors. Davros pushed one fa\u00e7ade like a door and it created not only a wall, but a tunnel inside the ship. \u201cInside, now!\u201d barked Davros. Everyone leapt into the DARDIS just as Vader\u2019s lightsaber was cutting through the door. The DARDIS door shut behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inside the DARDIS, Amy and Lurra Rus goggled for different reasons. For Lurra Rus, it was because geometry as she knew it was torn apart on the molecular level. For Amy, it was something else entirely. \u201cI don\u2019t believe it!\u201d said Lurra Rus. \u201cIt\u2019s\u2026bigger on the inside!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s also a heap of junk!\u201d complained Amy. \u201cNo way could this thing fly!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLike I said, knock-off of the TARDIS,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cNow, I think we can utilize something on this ship. Aha! Here we are!\u201d She pointed out a machine. \u201cI\u2019m surprised you stole this model, Davros!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Daleks were trying to kill me!\u201d replied Davros. \u201cI was pressed for time!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, isn\u2019t that a duplication machine?\u201d asked Amy, remembering her last encounter with the Daleks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly!\u201d confirmed the Doctor. \u201cAnd I think we can buy more time to get out of here with it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026You intend to duplicate us?\u201d realized Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, Vader can see through any copy!\u201d hissed Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m aware of that,\u201d retorted the Doctor, \u201cbut if you have any better ideas, I\u2019d like to hear them!\u201d Davros said nothing, he just scowled. \u201c\u2026Thought not. Now, Amy, you first. I\u2019ll operate the machinery. Davros, you take over when I\u2019m done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVery well, but I fail to see how they would help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, what\u2019s going on?\u201d asked Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s making robot clones of us,\u201d explained Amy. \u201cThe Daleks usually make duplicates for disrupting a planet\u2019s government. Just keep them away from cold places if there\u2019s a chink in their protective skin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d asked Lurra Rus, pondering what Amy meant by that. Amy just stepped into the machine and the Doctor worked her magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Doctor, you\u2019ve disconnected the duplicate\u2019s mind from the-!\u201d interjected Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m not having her duplicate destabilize the Empire, not yet,\u201d said the Doctor. The process was completed and Amy and her duplicate stepped out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat was a bit tingly,\u201d remarked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo you remember the original process that made me?\u201d asked her duplicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was knocked out, remember?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, yeah. Oh well. Lurra, it\u2019s your turn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight\u2026\u201d Lurra Rus looked a little uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s only a tingle,\u201d assured Amy. Lurra Rus then entered the chamber. The Doctor fired up the machine and duplicated Lurra Rus. Lurra and her duplicate then stepped out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAmy was right,\u201d said Lurra Rus. \u201cIt WAS tingly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think I\u2019m the first Twi\u2019Lek duplicate,\u201d remarked her duplicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight, Davros, you next,\u201d directed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith a duplicate under YOUR control? I believe humans would say fat-!\u201d Amy shoved Davros into the machine, then the Doctor began. The process was completed soon after and Davros and his duplicate stepped out. \u201cYou could have shoved a little less harder!\u201d snapped Davros as he held his nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFlesh, so frail,\u201d chuckled his duplicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight, my turn,\u201d said the Doctor. She stepped into the machine and Davros began the process. After a bit, the Doctor and her duplicate stepped out. \u201cTingly IS the word for it,\u201d remarked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, you DID have to adjust things,\u201d remarked her duplicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI trust you remember the plan?\u201d Davros asked his duplicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, please,\u201d his duplicate scoffed. \u201cJust get on with it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight,\u201d called the Doctor\u2019s duplicate. \u201cAll of us unable to simulate warm skin, with me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
