[Season 6 opening (Yes, Season 6)]
[1...2...3...4...5...6...*...]
[Satellite of Love. Tom, a gumball machine on a Tupperware hoverskirt, and Crow, a gold spidery thingy with a lacrosse wicket for a head, are behind the desk. Mike, the average Joe, is missing.]
Crow: Listen up, Servo! "Brady Girls Get Married" was *the* definitive Brady movie!
Tom: You've got it all wrong, Crow. "A Very Brady Sequel" was the best.
Crow: I suppose you're going to say next that "A Brady Christmas" is the
definitive Christmas movie?
[In the background, Joel walks by from the left.]
Joel: Hey, guys.
'Bots: Hey, Joel.
[Joel exits to the right. A few moments later, Mike walks in from the right.]
Mike: Guys, who was that?
'Bots: Who was who?
[Commercial light flashes]
Mike: Never mind, we've got commercial sign. [He taps the button.]
[Commercials: Coming soon.. the sequel to Doctor Who and the X-Men!]
[SOL.]
Mike: Look, just tell me, who *was* that?
'Bots: Who *was* who?
[Mads light flashes]
Mike: Oh, just, oh, never mind. Benton and Yates are calling.
[Deep 13. The whole place is covered in circuit boards and magnetic computer tape. Doctor Forrester is up to his knees in motherboards.]
Dr F: [Looks up and sees the SOL crew on the monitor] Ah, Holly, Rimmer, Cat, Lister and
Kryten, how good of you to answer. I'm just doing a little, ah, cleaning. Frank should have been helping, I wonder where he is now...
Frank: [enters the room] Doctor? Doctor, what have you done???
Dr F: Nothing, I'm just spring cleaning! [Throws away another circuit board] We can use this in the Christmas crib by
melting it a little.
We don't need it.
Frank: [confused] What? What was it?
Dr. F: Well, as I was saying, I'm doing a little clean out. You know, throw
away all that useless stuff I don't need anymore. For example, see
that pile over there? [He points to a heap of circuit boards in the
back] That was the guidance computer we used to get the Satellite
into space. [Grins evilly] And, of course, we don't need it anymore, so
I'm chucking it!
Meanwhile further down the corridor a swoorving sound is barely audible.
It is the sound of the Einstein-Rosenberg Bridge Vortex, and three men and
a woman exit from something which looks like a brightly shining whirlpool
in thin air. One of them, Quinn, has a remote control in his hand. Professor
Arturo is sensibly worried, this is an unusual location for them. It could
be dangerous.
Quinn: Wade, where are we?
Wade: This looks like a space station.
Professor: Who are those folks down there?
Remmy: I don't know. Let's try and listen to see where we are.
[SOL]
Crow: Hey! You said you would let us get down some day!
Tom: How're you gonna do that without a guidance computer?
Mike: Especially when we can't pilot the satellite ourselves!
[Corridor]
Professor: So this is a satellite! Quinn, how much time do we have?
Quinn: Fifteen minutes only to the next Slide!
[Deep 13]
Dr F: [startled] Aaah! No, the experiment! Wait, Mike, wait! I was only
joking, you know, a joke. Heh...heh. No, it was only a joke. That wasn't
the guidance computer. Nooooo, no, no, that was the, ah, squaredance
computer, yeah! You must have misheard me. Heh.
[SOL. Mike looks towards Dr F]
Mike: [suspicious] Really? We can still get down?
[Deep 13. Dr. F's visibly sweating.]
Dr F: Of course, of course. [Chuckles weakly] Do you think I, of all people,
would trap an innocent man on a rackety old satellite millions of
miles from home with no way off? How evil do you think I am?
[Corridor]
Remmy: This sounds like how I started sliding with you guys. I was driving
on to hold my first big concert and I ended up Sliding through parallel
universes.
[Deep 13]
Frank: [weak] But, Steve, earlier you said that was the guidance computer,
and that before he ever got down he would have to go to He -
Dr F: [kicks Frank] *Shut up,* Frank.
Frank: [quiet] I'll be good.
Dr F: Well, now that's out of the way, Mike, let's go straight to the
experiment, shall we? Today's troglodytic treat is entitled "Doctor
Who and the X-Men." Let me give a hint as to the horrors ahead: the
author, C. Meli, has his own version of just who the X-Traitor
is. [Smirks evilly] Bon appetit!
Author: Don't confuse things. Everyone knows who the X-Traitor was. This is principally a sequel to Doctor Who's Kinda
episode.
[Corridor]
Wade: What? What's this?
Remmy: Don't ask me. I'm as confused as you are.
[SOL]
[Lights flash.]
All except the four Sliders: WE HAVE FANFIC SIGN!!!
(Dr F and Frank enter the theatre)
[Corridor]
Professor: Perhaps this is some new cinema? Internet fan fiction perhaps?
Quinn: On that screen is a sign which reads Internet fanfic theatre. Great!
Wade: So on this world they actually watch Internet fanfics in cinemas?
Remmy: And fanfics from other dimensions it would seem, from what we've heard.
[6...5...4...3...2...1...*...]
[Mike and Co. enter the theatre]
> Doctor Who and the X-Men by C. Meli
Mike: Gee, look at that, no headers or nothing. The Mads must editing the
'fics now.
Tom: Nah, that just means someone actually archived this.
All except the Sliders: [collective shudder]
The Doctor was worried.
Extremely worried.
(Back in the SOL)
Tom: He hadn't been worried for a good five minutes. He found that
worrying.
Mike: Huh, a Doctor that's worried. I guess we all know who that is.
Crow: Who?
Mike: Peter Davison's version.
(Hidden, yet watching also, are the four Sliders)
Quinn: Peter Davison played the fifth Doctor Who. It was one of my favourite
television programmes. It still is.
Remmy: Great. But these three guys, do you know them?
Quinn: They weren't in Doctor Who, for sure.
Wade: I think MST3K was some US television show. Didn't really watch it, myself.
Arturo: I wonder how they would MiSTify us... Must be terrible!
He was looking for the X-Men and he had found them. The TARDIS materialised in the centre of the X-Men Institute Grounds, resulting in a number of security systems being triggered.
(Back in the SOL)(Back in the TARDIS)
"Doctor, we're being attacked!" screamed Tegan.
Beam pulses were being fired at the TARDIS, the Doctor had barely the time to dematerialise the TARDIS again. It disappeared into nothing, making some of the on-looking mutants wonder what it really was.
"No need to panic, calm down Tegan" The Doctor had miscalculated the materialisation point resulting in the TARDIS materialising inside not outside the Institute Grounds.
A small distance away from where the TARDIS was, Shadowcat had been
playing baseball with some of the other X-Men. "What was that?
I think we'd better go inside and see if Cerebro can give us
a clear identification."
Crow: Yeah, better make sure that disappearing police box was really a
police box.
The Doctor punched some keys on the central Console, and plotted a
path towards a street not too far from the Mansion.
(Back in the SOL)
Mike: [Picard] Mr. Who, engage.
Tom: What happened to the fact the Doctor couldn't steer the thing?
Crow: Oh, it's in the closet right next to the HADS and his "Brain of
Morbius" lives.
Tom: Hello Professor Picard, how are your X-Men students today? (clever reference
to the X-Men movie)
Arturo: You idiots, of course he can pilot it locally.
Quinn: Didn't you ever see Logopolis? He can pilot it well in the same timezone.
Tom: Who are you? I don't think you were in the original fanfic.
Author: This is the Director's Cut.
Mike: What?
Author: This is the MiST version MSTed. A Meta-MiST.
Wade: Kind of MST2 or MST squared.
Tom: Thought that was Q2. Sorry, wrong universe.
(Back in the TARDIS, closeup on the Doctor)
His mind went back to some days ago when he had materialised back on
Earth, with the difference that this Earth was in a nearby dimension.
