Weltschmerz

Sonya hummed softly to herself as she watched the stars turn overhead, feeling as the earth slowly rotated beneath her hands. The tide was beginning to come in even as she sat there, the water slowly creeping up from the tips of her toes to her ankles as the minutes passed by. Casting another glance towards the dark boat, she felt a slight thrill run down her spine when she couldn't spot it on the water. They had moved while she enjoyed the night, this was what she had been waiting for. Glancing at the watch on her wrist, she frowned slightly, surprised at how early it was. The other disappearances had happened closer to nine PM, it was barely seven thirty. Biting down on her lower hip, she debated on the timing before a solid footstep was heard behind her, making her body go stiff with anticipation. Leaning forward slowly, she turned herself around and gaped at what she saw. Cyberman. Was all she could think to herself before the hand it held out connected with her shoulder, sending a paralyzing jolt through her body, making her slump to the side onto the damp wood below her. We're facing Cybermen...

Unsure of the time, Sonya sluggishly awoke to find herself laying on a table under a bright light. Squinting her eyes, she tried to raise one of her hands only to find them strapped to her sides. Shifting slightly, she tested her legs and grimaced at the bits of metal holding them down as well. "Damn, I was not expecting this." She muttered under her breath, twisting her head from side to side, trying to see the room around her through narrowed eyes. "Hello? Anyone home? I'm awake and I still haven't gotten my breakfast in bed!" She shouted cheerfully, shifting her shoulders a little more so she could see behind her head, spotting a closed door in the process. "Hello!"

After several minutes of shouting without a single sound or appearance of anyone hearing her, she fell silent, mentally reaching out towards Fitz the best she could. Most of the time it was the Doctor or Thet that she connected with, but recently she found she could connect with humans on some level. No words could be spoken, but she could suggest he do something, like glance at the tracking signal on the phone she gave him to see her little dot had moved or vanished altogether.

Finally feeling the faint connection snap into place, she frantically sent the same thought over and over again before it faded. Check the phone, check the phone, check the phone.

Suddenly as she finally lost connection, the door behind her slammed open, bouncing off of the wall beside it from the force behind it. Twisting her head back around, she spotted two Cybermen walking in and stationing themselves on opposite ends of the room, keeping guard as a small, rather mousy looking man stepped in and up to the table she was strapped to. "How are you doing, my dear?" He asked kindly, his hands tugging on the metal straps holding her in place before turning around and busying himself with the small table attached to the wall off to her right. "Sleep well, I trust? You are a rather interesting species... I have had humans, plenty of humans, some Homo Reptilian, and a rather fat-looking... Oh what did he call himself? Raxacoricalfalapatorian I do think..." Turning back around, Sonya's eyes caught the shine of metal in his hands as he drew near again, the shadows melting away as he closed in, allowing her to spot the surgical knife easier. Her eyes widened, instinct kicking in as her arms jerked suddenly, trying to pull out of the cuffs as he stopped by the table. "Oh no, don't worry my darling, I won't kill you, I only want to know what makes you tick, this is just for a skin sample. Relax..." He smiled in what Sonya suspected was his version of a calming expression, it only caused her to flinch again as the knife hovered over her arm. Closing her eyes tightly, she bit down on her lip as the glint of metal dissapeared into her skin, keeping the screech from breaking free as he cut away a small bit of her skin. Damn it Fitz, where the hell are you?
