TEXT: TIME AND THE RANI PART TWO Run time: 24:36 [SCENE_BREAK] 1. EXT. LAKERTYAN SURFACE [SCENE_BREAK] (Running at speed, Mel fails to notice the tripwire at her feet. She trips, triggering an explosion, and a bubble of energy forms around her. She lets out a terrified scream. The bubble starts to ascend into the sky. It rises up and over a cliff face. As it makes its descent, it catches the side of the rock face causing an explosion. This causes the bubble to spin further downwards. Mel screams helplessly as the bubble spins to her to her possible death. Luckily for Mel the bubble falls on to the lake and the detonator on the base of it doesn't hit the water. The bubble surfs along the surface of the water until it hits a rock and nestles at the waters edge. Ikona, who has been following her progress, comes to her rescue. Mel continues to scream in the bubble as he comes to kneel by it. Ikona attempts to remove the explosive detonator from the base of the bubble.) MEL: Help! Help me! IKONA: Be quiet and don't move. MEL: Have you... have you done this before? IKONA: No, this is the first time, but Mel, if you don't stop squawking, it'll be the last. [SCENE_BREAK] 2. INT. THE RANI'S CITADEL. THE LABORATORY [SCENE_BREAK] (The Doctor is working on the pyramid machine and causes an explosion. He chokes on the fumes and moves away to get some clean air. He groans.
