The Doctor returned to the broken transmitter and asked aloud, "Who hosted this radio contest thing anyway?"

Terri looked up. "Some travel agency that recently started, Winners go on a trip to a foreign land, so they say. Maybe it's Aliens?" She said walking up alone side the Doctor. "I tried to see if I could Enter but I wasn't qualifid, what ever that means. I could take you to the agency itself. If you want?" She asked.

(The_Doctors_Girl, what was your name before you changed it?)

"Maybe its aliens?" Jack repeated. "Either you're brilliant or crazy, lets hope for the former. We already have one crazy man in our party" He glanced dierectly at the Doctor, though he knew it was unessesary. The Doctor understood perfectly well that Jack was making a crack at his expence.

"Yeah...." the Doctor said. "I know about all of these advertising things. More than likely the person who are hosting these things have these humans somewhere up there" His eyes briefly glanced to the sky. "Let's see who these guys are."

"Hmmm qualified you say. Did you have to fill in a questionaire before you could enter or anything? Any unusual questions such as blood type excetra?" asked Roe with intrest

As they walked Terri spoke to Roe. "Well, they took a picture with this weird camera, then had me fill out a form with my age and name. Thats all really." They came up to a small store called 'Limitless Travels'. "This is it, its bigger in the back, its just a small reception up front."

"All right, then," the Doctor said. "Ok first, all of you act natural, ok?"
He strode right in the door and finding a door labeled "Employees Only", opened the door right as a secretary said, "Oi! Where do you think you're going?"
The Doctor wheeled around, held up his psychic paper and said, "Dr. John Smith from Inspection Commission. I'm here leading a team to inspect this complex."

Terri blinked at the paper, making a mental note to ask later. She quickly followed the Doctor as he continued on. "Is your screwdriver getting any strange reading?" She asked trying to catch on with what was happening.

"Hmmm, good question," the Doctor said. He got out his sonic screwdriver as he looked around the room that he now had access in. "Nothing terribly strange. I'm sure, though, that letter isn't from this world." He pointed his screwdriver at a metal plating with ridges on it.

Terri looked at the metal plating. "I remember that, i asked about it, being as curious as I can be, and the people ignored my question." After a pause she explained. "I had to come back here to try out for the Contest."

"Strange camra thingy? Could you be more presise?" she pressed before turning her attention to the plate. "Doctor, what class radiation are you picking up? I'm getting a physcic reading of beta, but whitch class i can't tell."

"Yeah, definitely not part of this planet," the Doctor mused. "Somewhere around here though."

Terri looked around, then she went closere to the Doctor. "Doctor, I don't think we are alone any more."

The Doctor wheeled around. Thoughts of Cybermen and Daleks ran through his head. He scanned the room again and this time the sonic screwdriver did catch something. It was a humanoid on the floor, shaking madly. He had five long tentacles for his fingers and a gas mask over his mouth. His silted nose exhaled, from what the Doctor could smell, oxygen. He had elongated oval-shaped eyes that were jet black. When he saw the approaching Doctor, he gave a short cry and shuffled backwards with his hands outreached.

"Don't worry," reassured the Doctor. "I won't hurt you."
"That's what they all say," the alien replied, still moving backwards. "All of them, before they come and butcher us."
"Who," asked the Doctor. "Who are 'they'?"
The Doctor couldn't see his wound until the alien moved into the light. He saw no less than five gashes across his chest revealing a sickening black liquid that wasn't blood. The Doctor immediately tried to help him but it was far too late. The concentration of poison was far too high for him to survive. Instead he tried to console the alien as he slowly and painfully died. "I'm sorry," the Doctor said. "I'm so sorry."
"My comrades shall avenge me," the alien said. "The Tarhsians shall suffer for what they have done." Then he died. The Doctor gazed sorrowfully at his body before repeating "Tarhsians. Tarhsians, why I have heard that name before."

Classic Doctor Quote! Woohoo!))

Jack help back a surprised gasp. Okay, this was definately out of the ordinary. Earth wasn't exactly the biggest breeding ground for alien life forms, and even less so for alien battles. What did the alien say his killers were...tarhsian? That sounded so familiar, but Jack couldn't place his finger on how he knew.
