"That" Frank said, struggling for breath "was..nowhere near...15 minutes". He was right. The journey had taken well over half an hour, and had left Frank panting, like a dog in summer. Despite being a security guard, prolonged bouts of exercise really weren't Franks thing. He looked around for Jackie, ready to make a quip about the long journey. But she was nowhere to be found. The Doctor had noticed her absence too. 'Bloody humans' he thought. 'Tell 'em one thing, 9 times out of 10, they'll do the complete opposite'. He retraced his steps, back through the hangar door, to check she hadn't simply fallen behind. No such luck.
"Something the matter?" called Paul. "Nope, our friend just seems to have fallen behind. I hope" replied the Doctor. Frank elbowed him in the arm, his eyes giving a 'what are you doing?' look. The Doctor put his arm around Franks shoulder, turning him away from the others "Phone"
"What?"
"Mobile, give it to me"
"Uh, sure" replied frank, digging his mobile out of his pocket. The Doctor took it, practically snatching it out of Franks hand. Immediately, he started sonic-ing it.
Confused, Frank decided to see what the two retrieval team members were doing. Well, one retrieval team member. Sal had gone off somewhere, looking for something. Paul stood at a computer terminal, though, unlike one Frank had ever seen. It wasn't so much a terminal, as a table, with a few buttons dotted around it. "That's strange" muttered Paul, absent-mindedly.
"Sal, any sign of Trev?"
"No. He should be here. I gave him strict instructions to stay in the hangar."
"Great"
Paul started pressing buttons on the table and a display popped up. A hologram. He moved his fingers across the screen and prodded at it, a map appearing. He pressed some more buttons, and a circle appeared, moving rapidly across the map.
"Whats-"
"Tracker. Our guys gone missing. this should be able to track 'im down."
The Doctor, who had been pacing, sonic in one hand, phone in the other, stuck his head up "Tracker" he said, absent-mindedly. Without so much as a breath, he shot over to the table, practically shoving Frank and Paul out of the way. He soniced a panel, which popped open like a jack-in-the-box, revealing tangling wire in every colour known to man. "What the hell are you-" Sal started to ask as the Doctor started frantically pulling out wires. "Oh, don't mind me, just trying to make a connection. Aha!" he said triumphantly, pulling a purple wire from the table.
He took the sonic to it, burning the wire apart, before shoving the inner workings into Franks phone. Satisfied with his handiwork, he explained "There. Now I can use Franks phone to find Jackie". The screen sparked, but remained working. Again the map popped up. But this time, it was accompanied by 'Located' and two little red dots. "That's where they are? Trev and your friend." asked Sal, wary about the Doctor intentions. "Yep. Approximately 2, no, 3 miles away from our current location."
"We'll take the rover" Paul said, eager to regain command. "You two" he pointed at Frank and the doctor, "stay here. Can't be endangering civilian lives."
"Not to disagree" the Doctor interjected "But I feel it'd be a lot safer if we stuck together. Jackie and..Trev was it, didn't just wander off. There's bodies everywhere, and I highly doubt everyone just suddenly dropped dead. Not with those injuries."
"Fine" Sal sighed, exasperated. You'd better come with then. There should be spare suits in the rover, just, don't touch anything." She turned away and began walking towards the rover. The others followed.
"Well, here we go". The Doctor turned to Frank, who looked worried. "I'm sure she's fine. Probably just stumbled through a wormhole or teleportation fissure or something". He cracked a 'reassuring' smile and continued towards the rover, Frank following behind.
