The Doctor had just reached the combined TARDIS when he heard Jamie shout behind him, "I'm coming with you!"

He turned and shot him a glare. "No, you're not."

"My Doctor sent me to be with you, so I am!"

Breathing a curse under his breath that Donna would have recognised instantly, he unlocked the door and frowned as he stepped inside to the alarming sight of flaring red lights and the dull thrum of the cloister bell tolling.

"Alarm bell, then?" Jamie asked as he moved to the console and smoothly closed the door.

"Yeah," the Doctor said, studying the console. "Okay, Girl, let me know what happened." He keyed in a set of orders, and a series of papers suddenly spit out at Jamie's feet.

"Easy, there!" he barked. "Y'nearly cut my legs!"

"Of course, I know how much that means to you. I remember I'd harp on you protecting your bare legs, but I can't recall only two or three times telling you to change outta the kilt. You set me to rights very fast, as I recall!"

Jamie laughed, but it stopped when the laughter was joined by an ear-splitting whine. "What in the--"

"What's that?" Jamie asked as the Doctor pointed it at the console.

Before the Doctor could even open his mouth, a part of the console exploded.
