Will and Nico had followed Alison, Nico leaning weakly onto Will.

"Nico, are you sure you don't want to get some rest?" Alison asked. A purple butterfly landed on her hand. "Neat." she said. Suddenly, a large robot resembling a spider appeared before them. "Scanning for weaponry…. scan complete. Targets are unarmed." a robotic voice proclaimed. "Let me guess, we're trespassing." the Doctor sighed. "Negative. Unauthorized arrivals are tolerated. Only unauthorized departures are prohibited." it said.

Will holds Nico. "She's right…" Nico shakes his head. "I'm fine." He looks at the spider. "Whoa." He mutters. "What exactly is it? It has the build of a spider but…"

"Alright then, where is it that you come from? Take us to your leader." the Doctor said, then leaning over to the group. "Alright, listen. That most certainly was made by humans, so obviously we can assume there are others nearby. Let's find out what's gone wrong. The sooner we do that, the sooner we get out of here." he said. The robot lead them to an encampment, with laboratories, barracks, and other buildings of all different sorts in the clearing. Men and women in green uniforms were walking around, attending to certain tasks or chatting casually.

Will and Nico nod, Will supporting Nico who grunts a little, shaking his head and concentrating. "I wonder… What this place is." Nico manages.

"Just take it easy, Nico. Doctor, I think we should have left Nico in the TARDIS to rest." Alison said.

Nico shakes his head. "I'm okay. Just fatigue after using so much energy and Shadow magic."

"Hey, look! One of the Snoops found a few strays. Weird, you haven't been tagged." a man said, walking up to them with a group following behind him. "Tagged?!" Alison said. "I'm not getting bloody 'tagged' you weirdo." she said. "I'm the Doctor, and you are?" the Doctor asked. "Wait, a Doctor you say? I'm taking you to Cargill, she's been expecting you." one of the men said, leading the four of them into a medical bay. "Cargill, it's a doctor!" the man said, walking off. A young woman with dark hair runs up to the Doctor and immediately gives him a hug, causing him to stumble backwards. "I'm so glad you're here, I've been sending requests for medical assistance but nobody replied. I assumed the worst, not that it can get much worse here." Cargill admitted.

Will looks at her then towards the doctor. He was actually a doctor himself but he didn't know that the doctor was actually a doctor.

"Ah, yes, and you must be the Cargill your…. friends mentioned earlier." the Doctor said. "I'm the Doctor, and these are my assistants." he said, his tone saying all unspoken things, most notably 'Play along or we could be killed. I don't want to be killed, it's much less fun than it sounds. Trust me, I know from personal experience.'

Will nods. He smiles gently at the Lady. "My name is Will Solace, ma'am. How many injured sick or hurt?" He asks, his gaze concerned.

"Well, sick, yes. Plague, something we haven't ever seen before. It would be best if I showed you, come this way." Cargill said, leading them down the hall.

He nods, doctor mode kicking in. Nico let's him go. He looks towards Alison a grim expression on his face. "I sense so many restless souls. Many have died here…" He mutters.

"Yes, unfortunately not everyone survived the attacks on the encampment." Cargill said, putting on a biohazard suit. "Put on one of the suits, you'll need it."

He nods slipping one on and walking with her. "How many diagnosed? What are the major symptoms? I need you to tell me everything." He says gently.

"Well, erm…. about twenty, and the major symptoms… you'll have to see for yourself." she said, walking inside. The Doctor followed, ignoring Cargill's warning to put on one of the suits. Inside were humanoid forms, but they seemed to be infected with the wildlife. One had wooden skin and leaves for hair, another looked almost like a bat, with large ears, fur, and large unseeing eyes staring up at them. "They appear to have merged with the wildlife. No two are alike, and we don't know what's causing it." Cargill explained.

Will looks at them curiously, then looks at the sky. "Nymph infection." He finally mutters. "It's rare but I've seen it." He shrugs, shaking his head.

"No, it isn't." the Doctor said. "Must you come up with a magical alternative for everything? There is such thing as fact and logic, you know. And I know for a fact that your 'Nymphs' couldn't have caused this." he continued. "Nymphs?" Cargill asked. "Long story." the Doctor relplied, examining one of the infected.

Will looks at him. "Well I'm sorry. The thing is, I've seen this before. We called it the nymph infection! Doesn't mean it was caused by nymphs!" He rolls his eyes. "Just let me work in peace will you." Nico clears his throat. "Doctor? I'd let doctor Will do it. He healed the entire camp when this happened…" He mutters.

"No, it's not your little magic theories. I sensed something wrong in the air when I first came here, and you're going to let me figure this one out." he snapped.

"Thank you doctor, but I'll handle this." Will growls. He got territorial when people got in his line of work. He turns towards the infected, kneeling in front of one of them. A small girl. She was slowly turning into a tree. He gently takes her hand, patting it gently. "It's going to be okay." He says gently. He stands and walks past the doctor. "I need access to herbs, medicines, water, anything medical." He says, glancing towards Cargill.

"Will, if you intend to argue, go back to the TARDIS and wait there. Alison and I can handle this." he said. "I know about your Nymph Disease, Will, and they aren't showing any signs of it. It's not an illness, there's something affecting your bodies." he said.

Will rolls his eyes. "My God… Sweet Apollo have mercy on me." He mutters, shaking his head. "Nymph disease is where the body begins to take on they form of something in the wilderness. Its through touching an 'infected' or through a certain fungi. At times…" He continues blabbering pointing out everything that showed the clear symptoms. He takes a quick breath. "Now, please excise me so I can get to work." He finishes. Nico chuckles into his hand.

"Will, you can't cure them. Now-" the Doctor was cut off by the sounds of shouting outside. "Well, someone seems to be rather upset. I suppose we should find out what the problem is." he said. Cargill started to say something, but decided not to. She highly doubted a child could help, and she didn't fully trust either of them, the way they both argued constantly.

Will sighs, shaking his head. Blessed by Apollo to know every disease, see every illness, infection and wound and he claims he knows what he's doing… He starts at the yelling.
