Status: Complete

River walked ahead of the group, keeping to the semi-solid grass at the edge of the sand.  Up ahead the community waited, unwary.  Some things must be.  Oona would understand.  So would the Doctors.

She saw when others noticed them.  Some ( Read more... )

"And the numbers are increasing," the Tenth Doctor had no problems joining the small gathering. He strolled up, full of confidence, hands shoved into the pockets of his trench coat. "Either our captors are getting more desperate or more confident, either way this could be a turning of the tide ( ... )

Ami was still trying to acclimate to the new telepath who was absolutely nothing like her fellow Tomorrow People, like River, like Scott or even like the Doctor when a man she hadn't met wandered up to the group. He was thin, dark haired and wearing a well-fitted blue suit and dark shirt, complete with a trench coat. He was familiar, and after a few beats Ami knew why: Scott had sent her pictures of the other Doctor earlier ( ... )

"Yeah, we woke up under the ruttin' mushroom!" Jayne spat, exasperated. "Are we all gonna stand around natterin', or can we get some grub?"

Amazingly, the Neanderthal had a point. He wasn't the only one who was hungry and thirsty.

Joon stepped out of Miho's shadow toward this universe's Dr. Jackson. The difference was obvious. Jackson seemed... nice. "Um, excuse me? Mr. Jackson?"

Jackson smiled the same killer smile. "Yes? And please, call me Daniel. You are...?"

"Ri Joon," she replied. "Joon Ri, in the Western order." It took effort, but she managed not to glance at this universe's Scott Hayden to see if he reacted to her name. He shouldn't, but it would make her job easier -- and more enjoyable -- if he did. She'd been sleeping with her Dr. Hayden for months. Judging from the way this Hayden clung to the black woman's hand he was pretty whipped.

"I, um, don't know any of these people. We all woke up under a giant stone mushroom." Joon waved in the direction they'd come from. "Miho found us, then her. River." Joon glanced around uncertainly again. "Could I have some water? And maybe something to eat?"

"Yes, of course," Daniel wondered when his manners took a backseat to his wariness and security consciousness. (Oh yes, when I discovered that tropical paradise is dangerous.) He gave Ri Joon an apologetic smile then widened it to include the entire assembly, "You have to forgive our manners. We've had some negative encounters and bad experiences, and we tend to be a little careful.

"Very few of us knew anyone here before we came here," Daniel continued. He turned and indicated the signal fire and cook fire, "Why don't you all follow me and we can get you some food and some water?"

Daniel started that way, waiting for a few of the new arrivals to follow along or fall into step beside him.

Remy'd been there, and gone... Ami's response to the general void missed in the pure fact that the man does not keep a passive scan. As for Scott's testing of the water... there is no touch, no hint of his presence anywhere. As a result, the chances were good that the half-alien would be disappointed, if not left a little confused.

Seven, sir, six, sir, five, sir, four, sir, three, sir, two, sir, ONE!

Tension,

Kenzaki ENTERS.

Kenzaki had been continuing the unofficial patrol he tended to keep. He'd go and recharge in his shelter for a bit before starting yet another patrol during the night. He felt tense for some reason, and he wasn't sure why.

He scanned over the newest folk, trying to see if there was anybody he recognized. Nobody seemed to be hostile. Deciding to keep an eye on them, he followed the group silently.

Scott nodded a hello at Kenzaki as he walked by. "Konnichiwa, Kenzaki-san."

Other than a slight tilt of his head White hadn't seemed to notice Scott slipping into the emotionless void. Although he couldn't feel Ami's emotions, Scott's healing sense felt how her body had tensed. Scott let go of the alien calm. His and Ami's unease rushed back. He sent her a pulse of love and reassurance.

/I wanted to see if he'd notice,/ Scott explained. He frowned after the retreating group of newcomers. /Daniel has the situation under control. Let's go back to the fire./

Meanwhile, Nine hung back. He'd told Rose to stay put, finish up. But she listened like she always did. Which is why she was at his elbow.

He didn't speak up. Ten was doing quite well with that thank you.

"What's he mean by that?" Rose asked quietly.

"Later. Means your shields aren't strong enough and you got just enough a link with me and the TARDIS to pique his kind's interest. Let him do the talkin for now. Two of us would put their guards up more than they are." He kept his arms crossed, but let Ros wriggle a hand into the crook of his arm.

Surprise him? Yeah. Cause him half a minutes real panic if they remembered and kept practicing defensive and trapping lessons. But none of them would hold out longer than that. Not enough practice, not building enough strength.
