'It didn't sound that way just now,' Chayn informed her. 'Cathbad is my friend,' Ayaka said. 'He values my opinion. The rest of the crew would not be so considerate.' Sam tapped the Doctor on the shoulder. 'Isn't it time for the great escape?' She tried not to sound too scared. 'Right now, I'd really love to be back inside the TARDIS.' 'That may not be our best option, either,' the Doctor answered. He was clearly very troubled. 'I don't understand what's happening here. Is leaving this cell really the best thing to do?' 'Speaking for me, yes,' Sam replied. 'Let's get back to the TARDIS and scarper before they blow us all to smithereens.' 'Good point,' the Doctor agreed. He moved back to the lock, and started to work on it. Sam turned to Chayn and Ayaka. 'Are you two coming with us? The TARDIS can get us away from here in safety.' Chayn grinned. 'That's the Doctor's time and space machine? Sam, you'd have to lock the doors to keep me out of there! I'm dying to take a peek at what makes it tick.' Ayaka shook her head. 'I shall stay here,' she replied. 'These are my people, and I should be with them.' Sam couldn't believe her. 'Look, if you stay, you've got two options. First, the Daleks blow up the ship and you die. Second, the Thais get you back home, they put you on trial and you die. Either way, you die. Is that really what you want?' 'No, of course not,' Ayaka admitted. She looked wistful. 'I should dearly love to see my daughter again now. But I cannot abandon my people. I have committed a crime and I must be prepared to account for my actions. If I am sentenced to die, then so be it. But I will not be a coward and run away.' 'More fool you, then,' Sam informed her. But, at the same time, she supposed there was something admirable in the Thai's conviction and courage. She turned back to the Doctor. 'How's it going?' He tossed his sonic screwdriver into the air and then caught it. Slipping it into his pocket, he said, 'The matter has become academic. The guard fused the lock. Perhaps he discovered I'd picked his pocket, and he's taking no chances. We're all of us stuck here for the duration of the battle.' Sam sighed, and collapsed back on to the bed. Bad news and more bad news. Was the universe against them, or just this one small portion of it? They were stuck here, in this jail cell, while their ship took on forces three times their size... Her mum and dad had always warned her about going off with strangers. Dyoni sent a single-word answer to the Daleks - 'No!' She would prefer to die than to spend the rest of her very short, painful life as a slave. She turned her ship to the attack. With Cathbad's support, perhaps they could hammer their way through the waiting ships and escape.
