Lucie was backing away slowly. "I'm sure we can sort something out..." she laughed nervously. A lady swiped out at her, and Lucie dodged. She sprinted out of the room, and straight into everyone else, coming the other way.

"Bing Bong ! " said the lift " 10 persons only please ! " it continued to make its painfully slow ascent to the top of the building ........... " come on , come on " said captain Jock to no one in a particular " i havenae got all day " At last the doors opened and the lift seemed to give an audible sigh of relief . Jock found himself in a reception staffed by rather large ladies in Nannies Uniforms ..... He flashed the psychic paper at the nearest one. " Health Inspector " he said " Here to see the Ambassador ! " I'm afraid he's out right now " said the woman " would you like to wait ? " Well it's really his office i need to inspect " , said Jock " Just to make sure everythings in order , Excuse me , you're not Raxan or Clom-ite are you .. ? ! " " No Sir " said the woman " All the adminstrative tasks are undertaken by citizens of the 3rd populated planet of the Raxan System - Supa - calor - fragilisticexpialidocious . now if you'd like to follow me " She took him into the Ambassadors office , there in a display cabinet was the focussing wheel of the Nullifier of Doom , It was about the size of a jam jar lid and had 4 jewels set at each compass point . " Now " thought Jock " How to get rid of the Lassie , while I half - inch that ? "

As Lucie was pushed back into the room, she was grabbed by two bearded ladies, name badges reading Bearded Brenda and Goateed Gretel, as Unshaven Sharon screamed to the heavens, "Place her in the holy microwave!" "If either of you have an escape plan," Lutra hissed to Iris and the Doctor, "Now would be a good time to use it..." "Leave this to me," Iris whispered, then spoke up, ignoring the Doctor's attempt to stop her. "Hello, ladies," she said, "I'm Incredible Iris, this is Loopy Lutra and Dozy Doctor, and we're... health and safety inspectors." "Really?" said Unshaven Sharon. "Yeah, chuck. We've been sent here by the Library of Ottiria in the future to find what killed your entire race in about," she checked the Doctor's pocket watch, "Twenty minutes." "The meat is in the microwave," Bearded Brneda reported, ignoring the banging on the door of the microwave, "She should be ready in about twenty minutes." Iris raised her eyebrows, "I think I've worked it out. Food poisoning. From eating Lucie." "I don't think so," said Unshaven Sharon, "You lie, Imbecile Iris, for by the ancient laws of adjectivenouns, you cannot have two beings with the same adjective in their name. We already have a Loopy Lucie, and now we also have a Loopy Lutra. Anyone who knew of us would know our ancient laws and traditions forbidding doubling up of adjectibes on pain of death. Hirsuite Hillary," at this point, a gigantic, muscular woman with five o'clock shadow lumbered into the hall, awaiting the orders from Unshaven Sharon, who then gave her order, "Kill them." At that point, Bearded Brenda switched on the microwave.

OOC: Sorry for the lack of activity guys, it's all been a bit hectic lately.
"Dozy Doctor? The cheek..." The Doctor mutters in an offended manner, as the microwave hums into action.
"Lutra, hit the cancel button!" The Doctor tells the otter next to him and swings around to face the large Hirsuite Hillary.
"I'm warning you, I know Venusian Aikido! Though that was some years ago..." he whispers before thumbling about in his pockets for something helpful.

" Excuse me Hen " said the captain " I think I left my notebook downstairs , could you nip and get it for me ? " " well " replied the nanny " I'm not really supposed to leave visitors unsupervised , Don't touch anything ! " As soon as she was gone , Jock whipped out an ion bonder from his rucksack and began to cut through the glass of the display case ... a few minutes later he was through , as he lifted the Focussing wheel from its velvet cushion alarms began to ring ... suddenly the doors to the room flew off their hinges and two angry looking Raxans burst in " Put down the Eye of Margaret ! " one of them barked .. Captain Jock put his arms above his head , surreptiously taking a glance at the chronometer on his V.M .... ~~ recharged in one minute..how to buy some time..? ~~ " Boys , boys ! " he said " I was just a little concerned about the dangerous levels of radiation emitting from this object , surely Hairy Poppins over there told you I'm the Health & Safety Inspector ? " Slightly mollified one of the guards said thats as maybe , If you'll just hand over the eye to me , we'll say no more about it , although i've heard nothing about an inspection? " Just then The V.M bleeped " Sorry boys , gotta fly ! " said Jock and vanished ... Jock rematerialised in the Reception area downstairs... and looked for somewhere to hide .. " Quick in here " Ann said Indicating a large storage cupboard , She then squeezed in with him ... " I've been dying to get you alone since I first saw you ! " " Thats very flattering Miss " said the captain " But i'm engaged to a Timelady and she's the jealous type .. ! " " Just a little kiss then " Said Ann "and mmmm , can i smell food ? Jock handed over all the contraband apart froma jar of Anchovies with Ann declined ... "Just the thought of all that Vinegar and brine ! " she shuddered .. " Now , you'd better tie me up ! " " Well , goodbye Ann " the captain smiled " if things had been different ! " He set the co-ordinates on The V.M to find Leonardo .. wherever it might be and vanished . " Whatta Man ! " sighed Ann

OOC - Sorry I've been away - damned real life keeps getting in the way.
Lutra obliged, scurrying between the legs of the bearded ladies, who were all occupied with watching the Doctor's battle with Hillary whilst Lucie stewed. Lutra reached the microwave and hit the cancel button, but was too short to reach the release lever. He engaged his nil-o-grav field, and began to float up towards it as the banging on the door increased. "Zark," he muttered, "Lucie's not going to be well when she gets out..." Meanwhile, Iris ducked as the Doctor was flung towards her by Hirsuite Hillary. "Good grief!" she yelled, then noticed that Hillary was advancing on her. Iris began to search her pockets for something to help, and her hand closed on something she'd grabbed just as they's left the bus. Mace, for Captain Jock if he turned up again. Oh why not? She grabbed it, and sprayed it in Hillary's face. The woman collapsed, screaming. Meanwhile, Lutra grabbed the lever and switched off the nil-o-grav field, his weight pulling the lever and letting Lucie flop out of the microwave - unconscious, and smoking slightly. "Holy..." Lutra said. They needed to get her to a medical bay, fast, before she succumbed to being half-cooked from the inside out. Unshaven Sharon screamed in anger at seeing her champion fall, and grabbed her and started firing. There was no way Iris or the Doctor could avoid the blasts... then a timehole opened up and Captain Jock came tumbling through, right into the path of the lasers.

BY an amazing stroke of serendipity ( But mostly due to the co - ordinates slipping ) Jock had materialised right where he was needed .. The lasers bounced harmlessly off his Time Agency Body Armour - (polycarbide mesh - gauranteed to withstand a Dalek Blaster or your money back ! ) " Dang it lassie , that's going to cause a bruise ! " he exclaimed irately " I see , i got here just in time " Sumo ! " With one bounce of his massive belly bearded ladies flew everywhere collapsing in an untidy heap . " I'll just tie these lassies up for you " He said " I was nae In the Scouts for nothing " You were in the Scouts ? " Iris goggled disbelieving . " Aye well , just for the week " he replied .. aww No , what's wrong with bonny wee Lucie ?

"She's been put in a microwave," Lutra supplied, "She's in the process of being cooked from the inside out. Could you use your V.M. to get her to the TARDIS, and the zero room?" "Look!" Iris pointed, "There's a door there! It has to lead to the main temple, and the Nullifier component..." Excitedly, she hurried over to the door, and threw it open, to reveal the Temple of the Bell. It was empty.

The Doctor stumbles up, brushing his coat down and stepping back from Hirsuite Hillary.
"You know, this coat is a vintage!...I think. I really should have checked with the man who owned it..."
He spins around to where Iris had run off to and follows after her quickly.
"Iris! What've you found!"

Jock scooped Lucie up in his arms , " Doc " he said " Can you over - Ride your Security Protocols ? " Whit ? ye have nae got any ? " It's a wonder you people manage without me .. ! " He pressed the button on his V.M and the two of them vanished .. In the Tardis he carried her into the Zero Room .. , suddenly Lucie convulsed and was still .. " Och no , better give her the kiss of life ! " he muttered . after a few seconds Lucie began to struggle furiously .. " Urgggh , get off me you old perve !" she shrieked " what are you doing .. ? ! " " saving your life , lassie ! he replied ... " With your tongue ? " she asked suspiciously .. before half fainting again.. " Ye've had a nasty experience " he said " You rest here and I'll go check on the others ! " "Two nasty experiences " said Lucie " Do That again and i'll nut you ! " then then fell into a light sleep .. Jock made her comfortable on the couch .. " Hands ! "She growled . In The console room . Jock looked around covetously .. " i'd love a ship like this ..he mused .. He pressed the button on his V.M and returned to the Temple..

"Iris! What've you found!" the Doctor called.
"An empty temple," Iris called back. "I thought it was supposed to be full of loonies who worship a twenty-first century actor." "I have an idea of what they happened to them..." Lutra said, casting a glance back towards the bearded ladies, and their gigantic microwave. Iris took a step into the main precinct of the temple, glancing around the vast pillared hall. "This is spooky," she said, her voice echoing through the stone room, "I wouldn't be surpsrised if there were booby traps..." "There has been some evidence of booby-trapped tombs before," Lutra said, casting a sideways glance at the Doctor, "There are records back at the library of a number of incidents involving a bloke with celery in his lapel and a young man called Jimmy and some very old things, for which we are still awaiting an explanation," he said in a tone that suggested the Doctor knew exactly what he was talking about. "I've been in a booby-trapped building before," Iris said, "The Tomb of Rassilon, the Tomb of Sutekh, the Tomb of Nepthys - well, tombs basically. I once travelled with an archaeology chum who knew a thing or two about traps. Lovely lady, she was, always ready for a drink. Anyway, she said any trap system could well contain a Master Trap connected to a load of smaller traps which reset themselves, or just a lot of smaller traps." "Which amounts to 'be careful where you step,'" Lutra summarised. At which point, the air shimmered as Captain Jock materialised on the slab of stone in the centre of the pillared aisle, just a few feet away. The stone sank a noticable distance into the floor. The trigger stone's mechanism had rusted to the point of being too stiff to move, but Jock's great weight forced it down, the mechanism squealing in protest, threatening to snap. A massive rumbling noise ehoed around the hallway...

On the opposite wall . a great stone door began to turn revealing a small hidden chamber within .. however from the other side of the room another aperture opened and a great stone ball hurtled towards them .. " Holy Haggis " exclaimed Jock bracing himself as the ball reached him he dug his heels in and extended his arms the ball slowly ground to a halt .the stone door however had closed while Jock had stepped of the Lodestone " You steaming great fool " said Iris . " it's closed again ! " "Soon fix that , lassie ! " Jock retorted rolling the ball gently onto the lodestone. The others entered the chamber . Jock rummaged in his backpack " Lutra , are these anchovies any good to ye ? " "Oh and by the way " he added " i got the 1st component , you may form a queue to kiss me ! Iris snorted derisively " Don't hold your breath fat Boy " she muttered to herself ..

As Jock strained against the boulder, the walls of the pillared hall began to grind forward, moving between the pillars to form a narrow channel that would force anyone into the path of the boulder. The room they were in was probably the main temple, with the newly opened secret door leading to the reliquary where the component was kept. "A boulder?" Lutra snorted, "Is that the best they could come up with?" At which point, they heard another, more ominous rumbling noise. Another boulder dropped from the hidden aperture, rolling in behind the one Jock was holding, adding to its weight. Slowly, they were forcing the time agent backwards. Iris hurried to the secret door, peering through. "Cracking crepes!" she exclaimed, "Would you look at that!" Beyond the doorway was a scarily large cave. It was shaped like a vast funnel, at least a thousand feet wide at the top and two hundred at the bottom. Around its edge was a spiralling path, connecting their entry passage to the structure at the base of the funnel, although they didn't take much notice of it. Because, hanging over the cavern was a gigantic inverted pyramid. "I think I recognise this," Iris said, "From a movie I saw once. There was an inverted pyramid in that, called the pyramid of Osiris." "The Cult of Osiris, 2015, starring Jamie Bell," Lutra quoted from his holonotebook. "This could be bad," the Doctor said, "I've seen places like this before - If we can get to the holy of holies, the centre of this trap system, we'll be safe. Let's hope there isn't a Master Snare..." Then the Master Snare trap went off as Iris stepped on the trigger stone. Sparks crackled at the corners of the inverted pyramid, lines of Zectronic energy slowly sliding down the pyramid, towards the capstone... which was connected to a smaller pyramid, this time the right way up, and a staircase that led down its flank, and onto the spiralling pathway. "Zark!" Lutra swore. "If that energy reaches the smaller pyramid, it'll conduct through the roadway and we'll be fried!" "The Master Snare," the Doctor confirmed. "It triggers a final race into the centre of the system. If you beat the snare, you win and get to take home the treasure. If it beats you... well, let's not think about that. Either way, it'll reset after use and the energy will disspate." "Then what are we standing round here for?" Lutra snapped, glancing round to see another three boulders drop from their aperture and roll towards Jock and the two he was already holding! "Run!" Iris called, and they did, Jock holding back the boulders for as long as he could. "Don't try vaulting the spiral!" Lutra yelled, "those spikes between them will do lots of damage!" The pyramids look a bit like this, only in a funnel-shaped cavern.

" Och " said Jock " These spheres are awfy heavy .... " I can't hold on much longer .. ! He dug his feet in a little more. Please hold on a little longer Mr Jock ! " said Lutra we're almost there ... ! " Jock braced his shoulder afgainst the sphere that was trying to roll over him . from the Holster at his waist He withdrew a Laser Pistol " Roundness gun " he informed the others , dinnae leave home without one ! " with half a dozen well aimed shots he disintegrated all the boulders .. By that time the others had reached the far end of the tunnel .. he stepped onto the roadway but hastily stepped off again as he got a shock .. " The charge is pretty mild at the beginning " said The Doctor " But increases the further along you go ! " Jock , do you think you could bring the Tardis to us .. ? Lucie , knows something of its operation and i think the flight manuals propping up the hatstand .." Jock adjusted his V.M " Will do, Doc " he replied . "Oh and Jock " said the Doctor just before the Captain vanished " Sometime in the near future i'd like alittle chat about that 10 , 000 Grotzi's you owe me !

They reached the lower pyramid as the lines of Zectronic energy slid towards four connectors stretching from the summit of the lower pyramid to pipes along the pyramid's edges that were made of the same conducting material as the spiralling path. "It's static!" Lutra said into his wrist device, transmitting directly to Jock's V.M. "Shards of energy jumping through the air to the path!" As Jock vanished from the entrance to the cavern, another boulder rolled out onto the spiralling path, and rolled down it, gathering speed, but it was too late because they had reached the top of the lower pyramid. Immediately above them was the flat summit of the upper pyramid, which contained a vertical shaft boring directly upwards into the pyramid. Handrungs were cut into its side. "The entrance to the Holy of Holies," the Doctor said, "the inner sanctum. Oh and Lutra, when you get back to the library, look up the Golden Capstone and the Great Machine." "Stop collecting data!" Iris snapped at the otter, "and climb into that pyramid!" They did so, with the Doctor vanishing into the shaft just as the Zectornic energe made contact with the lower pyramid, and electrified the whole pathway.

Herwalius - The Desert
Captain Jock materialised outside the Tardis " S ' funny " he said to himself I should have materialised in the control room ! He tried the door it was locked .. He knocked on it .. There was no reply .... He tried twice more , still nothing .. On his last attempt the door opened a crack and Lucie peered out .. " Hod yer Horse mate " she said " I was on the ... well , never mind where i was .. What do YOU want ? " " Can i come in Lassie ? The captain asked " The Doctor sent me ." " Are ya gonna keep yer hands to yerself ? " Lucie demanded .. " My honour as a Time Agent ! " Said Jock placing his hand on his chest .. At that moment a screaming horde of Bearded Ladies came running over the nearest dune.. " Quick " Yelled Lucie " In , before i think better of it.. " Inside the Tardis Jock leant against the door .. " They can't get in " Said Lucie "All the same , I think its time we where somewhere else "said Jock " The Doctor wants us to take the Tardis to the temple , he said you could help ? "
