<SkinNyssa> Sewer Worker># ::Walks down:: Mike, where are you?

TARDIS IN SPACE
<Doctor5Je> @ ::Doctor studies the console registers:: Hmmm, that isn't right. Nyssa read those numbers again, please.
<SkinNyssa> @ 45, 75, 23.7
<SkinNyssa> @What's the matter Doctor?
<Doctor5Je> @ According to these coordinates the signal's headed for Earth.
<Doctor5Je> @ But that shouldn't happen. ::says with his thoughtful whine::
<SkinNyssa> @Earth? ::Looks puzzled::
<Doctor5Je> @ The constellation equinox is at least 50 years off.
<Doctor5Je> @ Are you certain your reading the correct radio frequency?
<SkinNyssa> @Yes I am. Hold on, It's changed.

<Doctor5Je> @ ::energy seems to drain away from the console::
<Doctor5Je> @ Nyssa, quickly boost the transduction override circuits!
<Doctor5Je> @ We'll be stuck here like flies in molasses.
<Doctor5Je> @ ::wildly punches in new coordinates::
<SkinNyssa> @Right. ::Walks to panel::
<Doctor5Je> @ ::dives under console and reaches for the demat override::
<Doctor5Je> @ Now Nyssa!
<SkinNyssa> @::Presses buttons on the control panel::
<Doctor5Je> @ ::in space a cobweb structure starts surrounding the TARDIS like a giant fist::
<Doctor5Je> @ ::the TARDIS wheezes and groans loudly, fidgeting against its elusive bonds::
<SkinNyssa> @What is it Doctor? ::Looking at the screen::
<Doctor5Je> @ ::the cobweb grows thicker until it completely obscures all vision of the TARDIS::
