The Great Intelligence :
The Doctor lives his life in
darker hues, day upon day,
and he will have other names
before The End.
The Storm, The Beast,
The Valeyard.
Even if any of this were true,
which I take the liberty of doubting,
how did you come by this information?
I AM Information.
DOCTOR:
I don't like it.
There's something happening
on this mountain.
I can feel it.
JAMIE:
Here, you're giving me the willies. Come on.
(Meanwhile, two Yeti are approaching the cave. The one carrying the control sphere stands outside while the other goes back down the mountain. Travers is still watching, and sees Songsten and his escort approach the cave. Songsten takes the sphere from the Yeti, which leaves. Then he goes into the cave alone, leaving three Yeti standing guard.)
JAMIE:
Look, Doctor.
(The TARDIS is guarded by a Yeti.
The Doctor and Jamie take cover behind a rock.)
DOCTOR:
I thought we'd been too lucky.
JAMIE:
What now?
DOCTOR:
I don't know. We've got to get
to The TARDIS somehow.
JAMIE:
Aye, well you can't frighten
one of those things away.
DOCTOR:
No.
JAMIE:
I wonder what he's waiting for?
DOCTOR:
Hmm?
JAMIE:
Well, he couldn't have known
we were coming.
DOCTOR:
It's a robot, Jamie.
It merely follows instructions.
JAMIE:
Who's giving them?
DOCTOR:
That we shall have to
find out, won't we?
JAMIE:
Get down, Doctor!
[Inner Sanctum]
PADMASAMBHAVA:
Oh, Great Intelligence,
have I served you well?
After so many years, can I feel the grip
of Your Power loosen?
How long before your
Great Experiment begins
and I can rest? So soon?
I am not sorry.
What of the others?
It will be done.
Songsten is making
final preparations.
[Cave]
(The rockfall has been cleared,
and the spheres are now arranged in a circle.
Songsten places the transparent pyramid
in the middle and leaves.
The pyramid pulsates with light.
Outside, Travers watches Songsten
and his escort leave. When they are out of sight,
Travers goes into the cave.)
[Outside the Tardis]
DOCTOR:
Yes.
JAMIE:
Have you thought up some
clever plan, Doctor?
DOCTOR:
Yes, Jamie, I believe I have.
JAMIE:
What are you going to do?
DOCTOR:
Bung a rock at it.
JAMIE:
Oh, be serious, Doctor.
DOCTOR:
Jamie, I am.
(The Doctor throws a rock at The TARDIS.)
JAMIE:
Hey, no, Doctor.
(The Yeti does not move.)
DOCTOR:
There you are, you see?
Just as I thought.
It can't see and
it can't feel. Come on.
JAMIE:
Don't be daft, Doctor.
DOCTOR:
Well. it's quite all right, Jamie.
It's like those three back there.
It's either switched off or
not receiving. Come along.
JAMIE:
Are you sure it's quite safe?
DOCTOR:
Well, quite frankly, no, Jamie.
But there's only one way
of finding out.
(The Doctor goes up to the Yeti and touches it,
then listens to its chest.)
JAMIE:
Don't, Doctor. You might
switch it on.
DOCTOR:
No, I don't think so, Jamie. Yes,
just as I thought. Now then.
(The Doctor uses a screwdriver on the Yeti.)
DOCTOR:
Jamie, will you hold this flap open
for me, please? Thank you.
JAMIE:
Hey you're taking an awful risk, Doctor.
(The Doctor removes the control sphere.)
DOCTOR:
Well, I'm glad that's over. Catch.
JAMIE:
Hey, I just thought of something, Doctor.
The Man that made these robots
is very clever, right?
DOCTOR:
Yes.
JAMIE:
And yet we were able to walk right up to it
and put it out of action just like that.
DOCTOR:
You mean, why didn't they build in
some sort of protective device?
JAMIE: Aye.
DOCTOR:
Well, perhaps they didn't think
it was necessary.
I mean, look at him.
Would you walk up to a creature like that
with just a screwdriver in your hand?
JAMIE:
No, I would not.
DOCTOR:
No, there you are. I'm really rather
pleased with myself.
(The Doctor goes into The TARDIS.)
