"If you'll give me your PIN than I'll gladly take it," Iris said, turning from the wheel to reach for the card. Lutra knocked her hand out of the way, "Why are you offering us money, Captain?" There was a bleep from the dashboard, and the planet Herwalius shimmered into view through the windows.

" I was offering to pay for the download ". said the Captain "not offering you all ma goods and chattels !.. Anyway .. hold the Laser Spanner I think i see the problem ! a little bit of pie has got in the workings of my VM ! " He finds a toothpick , pokes about a bit and manages to extract it . he picks the crumb up " Waste not , want not " and pops it in his mouth . He replaces the cover on the VM . and replaces it on his wrist .. " Och , i see we've reached our destination .. so you want me to help ye out finding these components or not ? i'm at a bit of a loose end at the moment .. Venus is taking a vacation at a certain holiday resort beyond the Arc of Infinity .. "

Iris grumbled, but Lutra said, "I'm sure we'll be glad of any help, just try not to mess anything up." They stepped out of the bus, onto the surface of Herwalius, a desert planet filled with dunes, and watched as the familiar blue shape of the Doctor's TARDIS materialised a hundred metres from the bus.

Captain Jock hangs back .. " Oh no , not him ! I still owe one of his incarnations money .. The one with the coat that looked like a deckchair I think ! " Here " he said to Lutra " give me the co - ordinates and the description of what i'm looking for And i'll try the Raxacoraclecfallopian Embassy On Hannay's World ... for some reason , people often ask me if i'm from Raxacoraclecofallopia or Clom ... I can't think why ? " Lutra takes Jocks digi-pad and inputs the data " Oh and you better put me on your " friends list " so i can contact you when i have the wee gew gaw ... " Jock adds .

"The what? And I'm afraid I don't have time-active communicators." "Oh, go on, Jock," Iris said, "Go now, and we'll see you later. Much later."

The Doctor emerged from the TARDIS and looked around at the large sand dunes surrounding him.
"Interesting..." he muttered, before strolling over to Lutra and Iris.
"So, whereabouts is the first piece?"

"Hmmm," Lutra said as he examined the holonotebook, "I do seem to have left myself very detailed notes. Apparently it's in a large temple a good walk from here, and the deserts are inhabited by a race of carnivores who don't kill you before they eat you and look for all the galaxy like bearded ladies." "Well they don't sound too bad..." Iris said, cheerily, "C'mon chuck, let's set off. Why don't you walk with Lucie, Lutra, and I'll walk with the Doctor," she winked suggestively at the stricken Time Lord.

"Oi," yelled Lucie from the TARDIS, "Wait for me!" She ran out after them.

The Doctor rested his head in his hands as he listened to Iris' plan, her wink not helping. He turned to Lucie as she ran over.
"It seems you're going with Lutra, Lucie. Do keep out of trouble."

Lutra consulted the electronic compass in his holonotebook. "This way, I think..." "So, Doctor," Iris said as she followed Lutra and Lucie, "What have you been up to recently?

Just then the VM bleeped and a ticker tape message spooled from a small slot on it side . WARNING ! EXCEEDING MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY INVALIDATES GUARANTEE ! THIS UNIT IS DE - ACTIVATING TO RECHARGE ! READY FOR USE IN APPROX 12 HOURS .. " Och Nooo ! " he grumbled " looks like ah,m walkin, wonder if there's a cafe on the way..? "

"I saved San Francisco from an invasion by evil pandas," Iris said, "bet you've never done anything like that, have you?"
Meanwhilwe. "So, Lucie," Lutra said, "Been travelling with the Doctor long?

"Well, there was that time with the Master in San Francisco..." The Doctor muttered thoughtfully, thinking back curiously.

An hour later, Lutra was explaining about how his people had been created thorugh humanity's genetic experiments, and now spent most of their multi-century lifespans searching out knowledge, whilst Iris and the Doctor had another argument over whose adventures were more 'real' and the issue of responsibility in time travelling.
Then Lutra stopped. "I think we should raise our paws," he said, keeping a wary eye on the large gun that was pointed at him and Lucie. Iris and the Doctor didn't notice, until Iris walked straight into Lucie and sent the younger woman sprawling. "What the hell - " she began, then saw the gun being held by a bearded lady, "Oh." The lady reached for a walkie-talkie on her belt, "Come in, Unshaven Sharon, this is Hairy Harriet, over." "This is Unshaven Sharon, go ahead, Hairy Harriet, over." "I have captured four biengs, three humanoid, one otteroid. They don't look particularly edible." "Otteroid?" Lutra spluttered. "Edible?" Iris sent a worried glance in the Doctor's direction. "I'll be the judge of that, over," came the voice of Unshaven Sharon, "Bring them in, over." "Will do," Hairy Harriet sighed, "Over and out." she returned her attention to her prisoners, "Move."

"Don't you dare go poking that gun there," said Lucie, jumping as they tried to shove the gun... well, take a guess.

"Well, at least we're finally here," gasped Lucie, as they arrived at a large temple. There was a statue out the front. "Now, I know that face from somewhere," she said confusedly...

Hannay's world
Jock decided to have a snack before he attempted the flight of steps .... and popped into a nearby eaterie ... Having enjoyed his meal he was disconcerted to find his Galactic Express Card missing . " Och no ! " He said " Yon wee Stoat Boy still has it ! " Jock decided the situation called for desperate measures and took out the Slightly Psychotic Paper instead . he then called a waiter over " You , laddie !" he said flashing the card at him " Health Inspector ! Take me to your Larder ! Some 20 minutes later his back pack full of " Consfiscated items " Jock stood at the base of the staircase and contemplated his ascent .

Herwalius "Goddess..." Lutra muttered as he beheld the gigantic statue of what appeared to be a ballet dancer. It was, in fact, the actor Jamie Bell. "I think we know why it's called the Temple of the Bell," Iris said, "The eighties were my favourite decade..." "Silence!" Hairy Harriet snapped, and forced them into a cave underneath the temple. There, she made them go into a cage, then locked the door, appointing another bearded lady, Moustachioed Margaret, to stand guard while she went to find Unshaven Sharon. They waited there, in the dark... "Souldn't we escape?" Iris whispered, "C'mon Doctor, luvvie, find a way to get us out."

Lucie immediately stepped up. "Stuff that, I'm gonna get us out of here," she said simply, before wandering over to the edge of the cage, and slipping between the bars. She then unlocked the door, and walked out. "See?" she asked, "Easy, peasy." However, immediately form behind her, Unshaven Sharon walked out. "What are you doing out of your cage?" she asked. Lucie turned to her, smiling. "Can't you see?" she said nervously, "It's me! You know... erm...Loopy Lucie?" Unshaven Sharon looked at her oddly, and then smiled. "Oh, of course, Loopy Lucie. Come with me," she said. Lucie followed her out, ignoring the titters of laughter coming from behind her.
After about 5 minutes of walking, they arrived at a room with one long table. Bearded women sat all the way up it, tearing into meat. "Oi, ladies!" yelled Unshaven Sharon, "Loopy Lucie here's offered to be lunch!" The ladies all looked at Lucie, their eyes filled with hunger...

Hannay's world
Captain Jock sat panting at the top of the steps ... about ten minutes later when he had regained his breath he entered the reception of the embassy .. Sitting beside the desk was a largish woman resembling the 20th / 21st century Earth politician Ann Widdecombe .. " Can I help you dear ? " She inquired Jock flashed the Pyschotic Paper at her " Moloko Coldplay Zuton Kosheen , Health Inspector - Access all areas " He barked " Of Course Sir " Ann replied " will you be wanting to disrobe yourself of your skin suit ? " " I'll keep it on if its all the same to you lassie !" Jock replied " I'm still wearing it in .. " I cannae get used to these new synthetic ones " " Just ask for me if you need anything ! " Ann said and winked and blew him a kiss . In the lift Jock studied the notes Lutra had given him " So , the thingummy is on floor 500 .... Ambassador's Office "
