Summary; The TARDIS-based rescue teams board the Deus Ex Machina II
Log;

With the defenses down and the all-clear given by Iron Man, a simple blue police box appeared in a dark corridor of the Major's zeppelin.

Inside the TARDIS, the rescue teams waited anxiously, eager to help their friends and fellow citizens, hopefully ready for what was in store for them.

With the re-materialization complete, Romana turned to the waiting teams, "Bring any wounded or rescued individuals back here, and remember, you must be back onboard the TARDIS before the final assault, we will have to leave quickly once the warning is given."

[ooc: Log is open to anyone who's been assigned to, or volunteered for, the on-board rescue efforts. Plot details and contact info HERE, main assault log (if you wish) is HERE.]

Gwen stood off to the side, watching everything with hooded eyes. She was well armed, of course, but that was only for defensive purposes.

It was an old a familiar feeling, heading out to battle, but Rachel was surprised to realize that she'd missed it. Sparing a nod for the pilot but no words for anyone else, she headed toward the door, confident that Kitty would be right behind.

Donna was visibly uncomfortable, although she did her best to hide it. Oh, going on grand adventures with the Doctor and saving civilization -- or even the whole of reality -- was one thing. That was madcap and, in general, entirely unplanned. The Doctor had a talent for stumbling into chaos and creating order. She enjoyed that.

But this planned assault...it was nothing like her usual adventures with the Doctor. This was more like being a soldier, and that made Donna very, very uncomfortable. She couldn't just stand back and let the Major's abuses continue, but she had never been the military sort. She would be very, very glad when this was all over.

Jake really wished he had time to take a look around the TARDIS, but they had a job to do. He listened to what everyone had to say, doing everything he could not to bounce in place. Finally, everything was set, the TARDIS had landed, and the mission had begun.

He caught Mickey's eye, gripping his gun. "Ready?"

Kitty followed Rachel, it felt so much like a battle back at home. In some ways it almost felt good to her, it made her feel like she was still fighting for those things she believed in so much. It also made her feel better about all she'd learned, she was here and for the moment she and Rachel were together, friends, fighting for things bigger than themselves. Just like always.

"Ready for this?" She said with a smirk.

"What d'you think?" Mickey answered with a rhetorical question and half a smile, ready for battle.

"This guy is getting his arse wiped!"

"Yeah." He nods, getting the feeling, and headed toward the door of the TARDIS with a quick look back at the inside. He'd like to poke around some day when there wasn't a big battle and rescue mission going on. He knew Mickey would follow.

"So, which way do we go?" Jake said once they got down into the hallway, making sure no one would see them.

Gwen noticed the redhead and how unsettled she looked with the whole mess. Honestly, she was, too. If Jack hadn't been involved, she's not sure she would've gotten involved, but he was so she needed to be there. She'd promised Kyle Jack would be returned, after all.

She kept her promises when she could.

"You alright?"

"Always, Shadowcat."

Rachel headed out into the corridor, headed in the direction the Doctor told her would take them to a small room of hostages. She tried to reach out with her mind and swore, the entire ship was dead.

"We're gonna have to do this the hard way - I can't sense anything."

Before Mickey could even think of an answer, a voice through their headsets told them to go to the right.

Shortly after, Mickey, being a step ahead of Jake, spotted a few soldiers. He'd been told they wouldn't be human, but they looked worse then he'd expected. He quickly hid and gestured Jake to do the same.

It wouldn't be wise to talk right now, but from their time of fighting alongside each other, they knew exactly what their facial expressions meant. This one said "ready to attack?" (Though technically, it meant "ready to kick some Cybermen butt?" but the situation was a bit different now.)

Jack was sitting in his cell, head in his hands as he tried to shake off his most recent demise. So many in such a short amount of time -relatively speaking- was starting to wear on his endurance and he found coming back from the last few recent ones harder than the first.

Lifting his head, he frowned and strained to catch the hint of sound he thought he heard from down the hallways. Was it different then the moans and screams he'd come to expect from this place? He started to stand up but the world went for a spin and he sat back down, rubbing at the back of his neck.

Perhaps he was starting to lose his mind, hearing things he was hoping to hear ever since he'd sent that data down to the team and the Doctor.

"No," he whispered. "They'll figure out something."

He just needed to hold on and have faith. Faith in his team and the Doctor, they hadn't failed him yet after all.

"Like we ever do anything the easy way." Kitty rolled her eyes. Yeah the easy way, did that even exist?

"Nothing at all? Bums. That would have been helpful but surprises it is then."

"Means you're first around the corners, then. Stay phased, and we go slow slow."

Rachel checked the map on the com device and pointed. "Down that way...two lefts, a right and we're there."

"Right-o chief."

Kitty moved down and around the corner keeping herself in a phased state. She peered back around and waved to Rachel to come on around.

Rachel came around the corner and the pair started down the hallway. So far so good.

"Next left is two junctions down."

Jake went in the other direction, moving almost before Mickey even gestured, when they came upon the soldiers. He studied them quickly, eyes wide just for a second before it all went behind the usual look of calm determination.

He caught the look from Mickey, nodding back stoicly but inwardly grinning. For him, Paris hadn't been that long ago, and it was a sign that everything had returned to normal. ~~Even though Jake wasn't sure he wanted everything back to normal.~~

Jake pulled out his gun and came out from his hiding place shooting.

Donna jumped, startled. For a moment she wasn't sure the other woman -- Gwen, her name was? -- was actually talking to her. She gave Gwen a stiff smile.

"Me? Oh yeah, I'm fine. Just dandy, really."

Kitty walked on ahead eventually making a left. The moment she turned a few wall mounted guns began to go off passing right through her. She jumped back around the turn.

"Looks like it won't be as easy as just walking along and letting people go."

"Someone's gonna hear that, we have to hurry before they call up the reserves."

Rachel put up a shield around herself, and ran into the corridor. She dodged what she could and felt the shield deflect the rest as she reached out and crushed the now-exposed guns with her mind.

As the last of them sputtered and died, she started to run.

"Just what we'd need."

Kitty ran behind Rachel keeping herself in a phased state just in case. She could have sworn she'd heard something coming from up ahead but she wasn't sure enough to stop.

The last corner brought them to the location of the holding cell...and three ghoulish guards, complete with weapons and body armor. Rachel's power flared and she quickly disarmed them.

They charged and Rachel pushed them back.

"Kitty, get the door open and the hostages out."

"Can do."

Kitty fiddled with the door's mechanism and it swung open. She shouted for the hostages to follow her. She pointed them in the direction of the first corner and she started heading that way herself. The ghouls would come after them quickly unless they were stopped here.

"Should we take them out here or focus on just getting them out?"

With a mental shove she pushed the ghouls back.

"Let's get out of here, lead the way."

Rachel extended her shield around the hostages and began to run behind them. She was so focused on their safety, she didn't even notice when the reinforcements arrived behind them and a bullet tore at her arm.

Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy!

Kitty was leading the way while Rachel kept her shield on the hostages. She heard the bullet and spun around and ran back towards Rachel.

"Rachel!"

A bullet passed through her as she ran towards her friend.

Rachel turned behind her and flared her shield. Wasn't quite the Phoenix effect, but it got the ghouls to pause their firing for a moment.

...and there were a lot more than three this time, blocking the entire corridor behind them, all lined up like Roman soldiers. Rachel reached out and blocked the entire hallway, but they resumed firing and pushing at it as they advanced.

One of the hostages screamed, he'd been hit and Rachel turned to Kitty.

"Get them out of here, back to the TARDIS. I'll be right behind you."
