ICE WARRIORS' SPACECRAFT (THE DOCTOR is in the ICE WARRIORS' SPACECRAFT, talking to VARGA who is on a small video screen.) VARGA: Who are you? DOCTOR: I never answer questions until I'm properly introduced. VARGA: You will answer now. (THE DOCTOR defiantly ignores him.) VARGA: Very well. You are standing in the airlock to this spacecraft. Unless you answer my questions within ten seconds, I will take the atmospheric pressure around you down to zero. DOCTOR: But... but if you do that my body will explode! (A dial next to the monitor slowly decreases.) VARGA: One... two... three... DOCTOR: Oh alright! Alright! But I don't think much of your hospitality! VARGA: Identify yourself. DOCTOR: Me? I... I'm a scientist. I've come to talk with you. [SCENE_BREAK] 2. ICE WARRIORS' SPACECRAFT (VARGA is talking to THE DOCTOR on a video screen, while ZONDAL watches.) DOCTOR: To help you. VARGA: A scientist? DOCTOR: Yes, yes you could call me that. ZONDAL: You do not look like a scientist. DOCTOR: Well looks aren't everything you know! VARGA: You look more like a scavenger. We killed him. DOCTOR: Well if you kill me, you'll ruin any chance you may have of escape. ZONDAL: Do you think he can help us? VARGA: He cannot afford to lie. Allow him to enter. (THE DOCTOR enters.) DOCTOR: Ah, thank you very much, that's very civil of you. (Seeing the ice warriors, he tries to exit, but the door quickly closes.) DOCTOR: Oh, my word! VARGA: You claim to be able to help us.
