 ( Yeah I really couldn't resist these two)

The blinking lights on the screen were going crazy- green to red to grey. If that wasn't enough of a bad sign, the rapid blips and bleeps of the computer were echoing louder by the minute. 

 

Time of Impact... 20 minutes... 19 minutes....

 

The Doctor was trying everything he knew to do: pushing buttons frantically and typing in co-ordinates but it was to no avail.  When the countdown reached seventeen minutes,  a blonde- haired woman ran over, her weapon  poised in  one hand. 

 

" We're surrounded" she reported, watching him struggle.  "Any luck disabling that main frame?" 

 

"Sadly , no" the Doctor reported,  nearly hitting his head when turning in her direction.  "And it appears we're running out of time. " He pointed to the screen,  now showing less than ten minutes.   " In lieu of any further options," the Doctor said, sticking his hands in his pockets. "I'd highly suggest we- RUN!!" 

 

Jenny's expression lit up.  " You know, I should've seen that coming.  But I love the running!"  As they dashed out of the control room, a myriad of sparks and the smell of ozone and electronics filled the air.  

 

The Doctor and Jenny were nearly at the ship's door when two heavyset alien guards brandishing laser pistols blicked theri way. And started firing.

 

" Yeah it's usually a bad sign when they start shooting at us" Jenny said,, running a little ahead and only narrowly getting past the guards. " Was a little easier when there's a toy mouse!" 

 

The Doctor frowned. " Sorry, a toy what?"  He wasn't far behind.    As they reunited  outside the ship,   Jenny pulled a small glowing orb from her pocket.  

 

" The control orb!" The Doctor exclaimed,  reaching for it.  "But how did you get it?" 

 

" Learned a few things" she assured.  "  I grabbed it while you were trying to hack their system. "  She proudly smiled. 

 

"You know,  I do worry about you, young lady." The Doctor said , taking her hand as they headed towards the TARDIS. 

 

Jenny playfully sulked.  " Can't I keep it, Dad?" 

Challenge #222

[shivver]

It's Challenge 222! I love cool numbers like that. Do you remember the TV show Room 222? Me neither! I only remember that it existed, that it was a comedy, and that it was about high school. So, I just looked it up, and it looks like it focused more on the faculty and the teaching, rather than the students.

Write a couple of paragraphs about a school (any type) in that vein, meaning not focusing on the students. You could depict someone lecturing, or a faculty discussion, or even a staff member, janitor, or teaching assistant doing their work, whatever it is.
