"Do it." The Doctor said, "drug me if you must, but do it."
It had to be done. He had to have some way from now on in case things got too bad. It was worth the pain, it was worth it.
"Trust me when I say I've survived worse, and died from a lot less. In any case, do this thing. Just tell it to destroy the samples when this is all over with, that's my only request."
The Doctor sat in the chair, setting Solaris on Kane's shoulder. He was immediately strapped in. "So then, Wilson. Shall we get on with this thing?"

The machine moved quickly to cause as little damage and pain as possible. The first thing it did was inject the pain killer directly into the jugular vein and then remove the hair and a quick scrape of skin off the mans arm but then came the bloody part. A scalpel popped out of the machine into one of the robotic hands and started to cut away at the flesh and meat from the mans forearm. Blood oozed from there the cuts were made and the scalpel just dug deeper and deeper until it reached bone.
It lifted and removed the square of dieing flesh and meat and quickly scraped away a small bit from the bone, putting the fine powder into an empty vial. It quickly moved over to the pink vial was and pulled it over, pouring it on the open square of space that had been removed. In the blink of an eye you could see flesh, meet, and blood start to rebuild itself stronger than before. It was exercise without exercise.
Kane looked to Wilson and said “Wilson, advanced interface please…” the machine complied and a screen popped up with several buttons that were written in Greek. Kane lifted his finger and pressed six of the buttons in sequence. A whirring noise started up in the machine as the four genetic pieces, each represented by a button, were mixed into one and the genetic code for Qi was extracted. In a matter of seconds five of the options were down but it was time for the sixth, the Qi power that was pulled out had to be amplified. A double helix popped up on the screen and Kane rapidly picked out little connections here and there, breaking some and combining others. Soon enough the double helix wasn’t just a spinning strand, it had become its own shape, it had become a large vortex within itself. The machine buzzed and held out a syringe to the doctor as the restraints were released, allowing him the option on whether to use it or not.

The Doctor got up a little wobbly from what just happened. He had experienced greater pain though, for a second his body asked the mind if it should prepare regen-cycle. And of course the Doctor shut that down for awhile.
"Ok, destroy any samples left over and the information on them if you could." The Doctor wasn't paranoid, but on top of everything here, he wasn't completely sure if they had the technology to actually find out he wasn't human. That was something he told people on his own time.
"Now then, lead me back to my TARDIS and I'll make your key and your lock." The Doctor grabbed the sample and put it in the pocket inside of his trench coat. "Look at me, the Doctor, with a syringe in my coat pocket! Heh." Rose would have laughed for days.....

Kane chuckled at the joke as he quickly pressed a few pads, instantly incinerating the DNA that was left behind. He turned around and walked towards the elevator but before he pressed the call button he turned back and looked to the little machine. It seemed to glow a dull golden color before it went back to normal. He couldn’t help but quickly ask a question “Wilson… was that your sister?” the machine stopped as if to think and then suddenly let out a sound that distinctly sounded like the word yes, but it was hard to understand so Kane shrugged it off and called the elevator. Once inside he would wait for the others and press the button for his floor where this little situation would end. Maybe now he could leave the living metal alone but it sounded a lot like the thing said yes when he asked if its sister contacted it…

The Doctor wondered if he made the right decision not using his Sonic Screwdriver in that room. But he knew he would have to do things tactfully for once. He was going to be here for awhile before he found out if things were right here or not. They knew too much about him for him to spit in their face by breaking their rules. Their serious ones anyway. The thing with the doors wasn't a big one.
"Ok," The Doctor said once the elevator reached it's destination, the same as before they had gone so far with so little, "I'll be back in a second."
He rushed to the TARDIS, and got inside, shutting the door. He quickly ran to the mac and used his Sonic Screwdriver on it, making sure it couldn't pick up any vocals or visuals on the ship. "There... much better."
The Doctor had lock and key already. There were plenty in case of situations like this. They were kept under a lock very much similar to the locks hidden inside. "Locks under lock, it's enough to drive a person mad trying to figure it out..."
He spent his time differently however, he had his TARDIS do a full analysis on the contents of the syrenge. He decided he could spend time analyzing it later and got a lock out. He got his sonic screwdriver ready. These locks were tricky business.
The Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS shutting the door behind him. "OK, I can do this from here...." The doctor said walking over to the elevator, he put the lock itself onto the door of the elevator and flashed his sonic screwdriver. To anyone else it would seem as though he was just pushing a button. How little they knew.
The lock's metal did something no other metal could do, it could grow. It was living much like the metal downstairs. Which worried the doctor. The metal sealed the elevator door, and traveled down, sealing off the entire 2nd basement, from now on there was no getting into the basement except through this elevator, where the only seem in this metal was.
"This lock is different from my TARDIS. That's all I'm going to say about this technology of the TARDIS. However, I will tell you that this lock feeds off of energy. It's living metal, but does not have a soul. Think that if Solaris and the thing down there were animal and human, this would be plant. If anyone try's to force entry, it will sap the energy of their hits. Nothing, no Qi ability can break this. This lock is unpickable. Completely."
Finally the metal had grown thick and strong down below, it was secure. It seemed to everyone else as if the lock would probably fall of if he let go, it didn't. "Like I said earlier, this key, and this key alone can open that lock. So don't lose the key. However," The Doctor said scanning Kane with the sonic screwdriver, then scanning himself, and then the key. "As of right now, the only people who can make the key grow into a key, is your energy and mine. It will drain you, but only so much as a drop of blood would."
The Doctor decided to use an example, he held the key up, it had a base and then the curves and grooves on the length end that most keys did. The Doctor then dropped the key to the ground, and the curves and grooves disapeared back into the base.
"It's nifty. You have to be alive, you have to be awake, and if you have control of your energy like so," The Doctor said picking the key up, not letting it transform into a key, "Then it won't turn into a key unless you want it to."
He held the key out to Kane, "Satisfied, Kane Hikari?"

Solaris had watched the entire process unfold, from the Doc speaking...and then sitting in this chair, hooked up to some Qi machine. It was all incredibly awkward to watch in silence, but he did so listening. By now, he'd been set on Kane's shoulder, a good thing considering the energy outbursts from Project: Omega...helleva contraption.
"So...this thing forces Qi powers..." A small smile appeared on his face, but deep down, this machine was completely and utterly unnatural. Just as he'd been spared death years ago, this...thing was something of a menace. Solaris should have died, but he didn't, and while grateful, wondered if he'd cheated God, or Satan out of another soul. The situation was more or less on the same scale.
Watching the Doctor come out of the situation was more or less an interesting experience, still atop Kane's shoulder, they walked out of the room and took the elevator back to the TARDIS...Doc walked in, and in a flash was back out, sealing the door shut with some...odd metal. The readings from his eyes were inconclusive, this was nothing of the world...and was unpickable at best, deadly likely at worse.
"That's quite the talent Doc..." It was the first words said by a normally talkitive one, and they were said rather inquisitively, hinting a curious nature.

Kane stared forward through the little speech on how to operate the whole locking mechanism. But his mind was partially elsewhere as the whole thing went on. Something just didn’t settle right with any of it, could he have possibly heard Wilson correctly?
He paused for a moment and looked to the doctor and asked “when I asked Wilson ‘was that your sister’ the noise that came out, did it sound like the word yes?” his hackles were raised as the very thought of the doctor saying yes might just destroy the world itself.
Wilson’s sister unit disappeared months ago, and it was right after a Mr. Matrim Aldon escaped from a testing facility for the same thing Kane had just done. She had been found decades before Wilson and was a whole lot less advanced when it came to Qi powers but it was very good at running thousands of systems at once.
By herself GlaDOs was able to run all of the United State’s computers, both military and home, all of Japan’s technology, all of Russia’s technology, and half of Europe’s. this was one smart machine and that was only the basic programming, she was also able to create things that had never been thought of before, or just barely imagined. This thing was amazing.
GlaDOs was presumed dead when the testing facility’s self destruct sequence successfully activated, but if she was as resilient as Wilson she could take a hit and keep going…

The Doctor looked down in silence. The wall had said yes. He didn't hear it with his ears.... the wall was screaming in the doctor's head. The Doctor could tell by Kane's appearance that he should have stayed down there and analyzed the metal. He should have communicated with Walter properly, as he did the Ood, as he did all the other beings he had known, even the devil himself.
Yes.... the devil..... that's a different story all in itself.
"The wall," The Doctor was thinking whether he should lie to comfort Kane, or tell him and risk having to put off studying the syrenge, or asking Solaris to see his core. Which for the Doctor was sorta like saying 'open up and say ahhh'. "Said yes. More importantly, it silently screamed it. If you can understand that."
The Doctor turned towards Solaris who had been quiet for the most part up until now, "You should see what I might be able to do for you. In all seriousness, if you don't mind, I'd like to see you're core sometime. You're mainframe, the source of all that energy, and I'd like to see what makes you tick, I promise not to tinker with anything, only analyze, and I'm sure I can tell you things about yourself that you may or may not know."

"I can understand the walls screaming at you so to speak. I could feel a coldness I havn't felt since my death at 253." He still looked around, he didn't want to go back down there anyway, the lock was MORE than enough to keep him out of there...he would have nothing to do with that accursed contraption.
Instead, about this point, Doctor spoke to him, and actually mentioned something that made him a little happier. "You should see what I might be able to do for you. In all seriousness, if you don't mind, I'd like to see you're core sometime. You're mainframe, the source of all that energy, and I'd like to see what makes you tick, I promise not to tinker with anything, only analyze, and I'm sure I can tell you things about yourself that you may or may not know."
He thought a moment, fidgeting, and then floating back to the Doc's shoulder. "You know, I don't see why not...the head engineers been out for some time, and I could probably use the checkup so to speak." Doctor seemed a nice enough guy...and based on his screwdriver skills, his own technology surpassed Solaris,' giving a unique opportunity to study something he didn't already know about.

The Doctor was troubled by what Kane said. He would later get in contact with Kane, even if he had to hunt him down. All this technology around, all of it extremely advanced and potentiall worried yet nothing bothers him. Yet when that contraption, that wall, that being mentions it's sibling, he gets nervous.
Something is up, something is advanced, dangerous and out there. Threatening the very time line and the very planet including every member of the human race. And that my friends, made it the Doctor's business. However, he quickly turned to Solaris and responded, "Great then, I've got to get my machine back to my room, and I haven't yet found out if you can travel in it or not, so I'll just go ahead and meet you there."
The Doctor then thought about this, "Of course, that would be an idiotic statement considering you could probably instantly transport anywhere in this school faster then my TARDIS could.... in theory...."
The Doctor wasn't going to tell them it was a time machine unless the situation presented itself. He couldn't trust most humans.... or AI programs with a human soul, rather, with the temptation of time travel.
The Doctor said his goodbye's and walked into the TARDIS, shutting the door behind him, ran to the computer, and remembered that he was analyzing the liquid. He looked at the results.
"Well now..... that's interesting."
The TARDIS roared to life and slowly faded out of Kane's room, returning back to the Doctor's room, which he didn't normally sleep in. The TARDIS had a bed that he much preferred since he was used to it. Not to mention the TARDIS was safer when it was locked and the key was inside it with the one man who knew how to use it.
OOC: end of my part in this thread.
