For Vegeta

For once, he really wasn't looking for trouble. He'd intended to catch a Space Pirates concert on the Twist, maybe offer Hattie another adventure.

Instead, every single sensor and alarm are going absolutely haywire as the console room rocks violently around him.

"I know, I know!" The TARDIS is screaming in his head; it's very rare that she's been this confused, this afraid. "All we need now is the Cloister Bell to - and there we go."

He scrambles around the console, pushing buttons and flicking switches. For a second or two their flight will smooth out, but it never lasts. Meanwhile, her pain only grows, and he collects entirely too many bruises himself.

The proximity alert has joined the frenetic chorus, though he can't actually tell which planet it is. Nothing he does works even slightly, now.

There's nothing for it; they're going to crash. All he can do is brace himself.
