Hässleholm starting up their show with Future/Past, Folie, Familjen and Andreas Tilliander (here Johan, "Familjen", getting into the groove)
The Doctor: Isn't it? Think of all the parallel versions of Eternia as being in a very long book, with each page representing an alternate Eternia. The Daleks started out on the same “page” that we’re on now, but when I activated my machine, it shifted them to another page and they've been flipping between pages ever since. The danger is that they might accidentally land on this page as you did before I can permanently lock them out of this segment of time altogether. I'm sure they have detected that this old abandoned fort we've set up shop in is the center of the disturbance just as you did and have been steadily moving towards it. I'm afraid that because of the nature of the energies I'm working with these coordinates are detectable from all of the realities, even though this fortress only exists in this one! Thankfully their invasion forces landed far from here so it’s taken them some time to get this close, but once they reach these coordinates they just have to wait until they’re in phase with this universe again to cross over!
The Doctor: No worries, how could you have known? It's not as though you intentionally set out to create this reality. None of this is your fault Spock! Why, if I had a pound for every time I created a new alternate reality by my actions, I'd have enough money to buy your entire Federation! But you CAN still help me set things right...
Frobisher: Say, Spock! Aren't you little old to be playing with toys?
Spock Prime: That is no toy, it's a model of the original Enterprise that I made in my spare time. Working on such things helps me to calm my mind, to focus, like a form of moving meditation.
Frobisher: I dunno, it looks like a toy to me!
Spock Prime: I once told you that it would be self serving to give you my customary farewell, but since this is likely the last time I will ever see you...as the humans say "to heck with it!" Live long and prosper, Spock.
Spock: Peace and long life, sir.

Spock (whispers): Captain, according to my tricorder, that device before us is definitely the source of the subspace turbulence .If we can shut it down...
Pike: Let me try and talk to the Doctor first, Spock, he probably has a good reason for doing all this!
First we landed at Sara, Johan and little Hektors residence for some wine. Sara is putting some wood in the fire
Spock Prime: But how? Do you propose we go back and undo this reality? Take me back to destroy the Nerada with your Time Lord weapons?
The Doctor: No, the Time Lords want to keep this timeline intact for their own reasons. But they sent me here to bring you to the Enterprise to convince them to abort this mission before it’s too late - to beam the captain and your young counterpart back to the ship before they can change history! The crew respects you, they'll listen to you!
Spock Prime: But I hardly know this crew, I have only met the Kirk, Spock and Mr. Scott of this reality.
The Doctor: Well, my sources tell me that Mr. Scott is running the ship while the captain is away so that should be perfect!
Spock Prime: Very well Doctor, I'll help in any way that I can!
The Doctor: Excellent! Now there's a good fellow!
Scotty: Mr. Sulu, you have the conn! I'm off to the transporter room!
Sulu: Aye sir -I hope you know what you're doing!
Scotty: You an' me both!
The Doctor: You see, the Time Lords predict that the Kirk and Spock from this new reality will reach the chamber before you and Pike do. The Spock from this universe has never heard of me, and neither has Kirk. Apparently, Kirk and I will have a clash of wills, he'll demand that I shut down the machine and when I refuse, he blasts it with his phaser! The Daleks get to the chamber before I can repair the machine and succeed in their scheme to wipe out the Eternians before they can evolve into the Masters of the Universe, thereby undoing all the victories the Time Lords won against the Daleks with the help of the Masters!
As if that isn't bad enough, the resulting paradoxes could rip apart the entire cosmos!
The Doctor: Perhaps you would be...if you didn't happen to know someone with a TARDIS capable of crossing alternate realities as easily as most people cross the street! As soon as we get this machine uncoupled from the TARDIS we’ll be happy to give you a lift back to your ship!
Spock: So this is truly your boyhood hero?
Pike: Well, one of him!
Spock: "One of him", sir?
Pike: I'll explain later Spock, better let me do the talking - this version could be a little...volatile.
Spock: Why is there a penguin with him?
Pike: Oh that's just his traveling companion, Frobisher!He's not really a penguin, he's actually a shape shifter who...
The Doctor: Ahem!
Pike: Well if it's any consolation, we ran into some natives earlier who seem to be keeping the Daleks distracted for now.
The Doctor: Ah, excellent!
Pike: But what about these subspace disturbances, Doctor? Your device here is disrupting warp speed travel for dozens of systems; our mission is to put an end to it!
The Doctor: Ahem! Frobisher, may I remind you that we are here on important business?
Frobisher: Right! Sorry Doc!
The Doctor: As I was about to explain before I was so RUDELY interrupted....
Frobisher: Hey!
The Doctor: ....the trouble is this parallel universe you've created! The Enterprise crew from this new reality has been sent on the same mission you were on all those years ago - only the Time Lords' projections of future events show a disastrous outcome should the Kirk and Spock of this reality succeed in reaching the chamber where I was working on my machine before the Time Lock is activated! Their presence will change history for the worse!
Johan was doing the sound for Hässleholm at Perrong 23 in Hässleholm (he looks so surpriced you'd think it didn't know it)
The Doctor: Yes, sorry about that. It's an unfortunate side effect. You know how dropping a pebble into a pond creates ripples on the surface? Well try dropping an entire world into a universe it doesn't belong in and imagine the sorts of ripples that creates in the fabric of space-time! Once I have the Time Lock functioning correctly there will be no need to keep this reality out of phase and local subspace will return to normal! Now if you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a few last minute adjustments to make and then I'll be ready to activate the Time Lock!
Pike: Certainly, Doctor by all means proceed with your work!
Pike: With all due respect, Doctor could you please explain exactly WHAT is going on here? We've already worked out that this world keeps on shifting between parallel realities - but what we don't know is WHY?
The Doctor: I suppose I do owe you an explanation! But it will have to be brief, time is of the essence!
Spock Prime: I had no idea that the existence of this reality could create such a problem. I had pleaded with Starfleet Command to give me the resources to travel back in time and set history right by destroying the Nerada before Nero could destroy the U.S.S. Kelvin, but even though such an action would save Vulcan, they refused. It is not such an easy thing to convince someone that their established history is "wrong" and the version of events that you recall is the proper course.
Atop the cliff, the source pool seems to be bubbling out from inside the cliffs... perhaps a natural spring upwelling from the groundwater
The Doctor: Right! Gentlemen, shield your eyes, here it goes! Result! The Time Lock seems to be holding this time! The Daleks will find themselves booted out of this era completely and back to their native time stream!
Frobisher: A few complications? You blew up the machine, Doc! Twice!
The Doctor: My dear Frobisher, I would hardly call a few burnt out circuits "blowing up the machine!" Can I help it if temporal locksmithing wasn't my forte at the Academy? I think I'm doing rather well considering!
Frobisher: If it worked so great, then how'd these two get in here? We're lucky it wasn't the Daleks!
The Doctor: I told you the realities shift randomly, these two just happened to cross over when we were in phase with them; I never said it was a perfect system! The odds of such a thing happening ARE pretty unlikely!
