Doctor Who: The Infinite Quest Page #5

-Light speed? How?

-Gave Squawk's engine a bit of pep, bit of zing.

-Bit of...

-Va-va-voom?

-Yeah.

-I knew you'd be back.

-MARTHA:
So, this is the Infinite.

-Every pirate, freebooter, treasure hunter

dreams of being the one to find this.

Their heart's desire. What did it show you?

Doesn't matter. Didn't work on me.

Whatever power this place once had

is fading away daily.

Whole ship's held together by wishes and hopes.

-There's nothing living here, is there?

-Not now.

One of the Great Old Ones was once.

It died out here alone and lost.

Screaming its rage and fury into the solitude

until its unique power dissipated.

Just left a little fading echo.

Enough to give us a glimpse

of our heart's desires.

(LAUGHING)

DOCTOR:
Oh, no.

Gold! Diamonds!

Treasure, Doctor. Enough treasure

to buy me a new ship, a whole fleet.

And I can destroy you, Earth, Volag-Noc

and everything in between.

Be the scourge of the galaxy?

-Is that the best you can think of?

-It's not real.

-It's just an echo of the power.

-He's not listening, Martha.

Ship's so old and rusted,

just held together by wishful thinking.

(RUMBLING)

Come on, Captain Useless.

Sorry, full up.

There'll be another one along in a minute.

No, Doctor, you can't leave me here!

(WHOOSHING)

I know he was rotten to the core, but still.

Oh, I left him a way out.

-Squawk!

-Squawk.

Course, it'd only matter if I didn't know

exactly where Squawk was gonna drop him off.

Curse you, Doctor! Curse you!

Searching for your heart's desire, Martha,

never been all it's cracked up to be.

Now, then, Martha Jones.

-Another job for you.

-Oh, yes?

Yes. Start giving me some random numbers.

-Oh, not again.

-Come on! It'll be fun!

When have I ever let you down?

(LAUGHING)
