Chapter 13: The Shifting Faces
[SYSTEM: New location detected. Zygon Safehouse, London. Warning. The user is now a member of a new faction. Recommended action: lay low. Your DNA is a badge of honor here.]
[Location – The Zygon Safehouse]
The Zygon safehouse was a chaos of shifting faces. Every person Adam passed was a Zygon, a perfect human replica, a constant, unnerving blur of identities. The air was filled with a low, humming telepathic chatter, a constant, silent conversation that was both comforting and unsettling.
He found the Doctor and Clara in the middle of a heated debate with a tall, imposing Zygon with a long, flowing beard. The Zygon leader was speaking in a calm, authoritative voice, but his human face was a mask of cold, weary skepticism.
"You say you are here to help," the Zygon leader said, his voice a low hum. "But we have seen your kind before, Doctor. You come in, you make a mess, and then you leave, leaving us to clean it up. We are at a crossroads. We must decide. Do we reveal ourselves to humanity and risk a war, or do we remain hidden forever?"
Clara, however, was not giving up. She was using her wit, her charm, her ability to read people to win him over. "We don't want a war," she said, her voice earnest. "We want a peace treaty. A peaceful coexistence. We are trying to find a solution."
Adam, in his new form, a perfect copy of a human, stepped forward. He felt the Zygon's gaze on him, a mix of curiosity and suspicion. "I am a Zygon," he said, and the words felt strange and alien on his tongue. "I am one of you. I can help you. I can tell you what is really happening."
[Location – The Zygon Safehouse]
The Zygon leader, whose name was Osgood, listened to Adam's story with a quiet, patient intensity. He listened to the story of the gas cloud, the Time Lord imposter, and Saibra's organization. When Adam was done, Osgood was silent for a long moment.
"The so-called 'Oracles' are not human," Osgood said, his voice a low, angry hum. "They are a rogue faction of Zygons. They believe that humanity is a threat to our way of life. They believe that we should not hide but should fight. They believe that we should not make peace but should make war."
Clara's eyes went wide. "So Saibra... she's not a Time Agent. She's a Zygon. She's been hunting Adam because his Mimic System is a threat to their plans. They don't want him to mimic them, they want to use him to start a war."
"Yes," Osgood said. "They want him to become the new face of our revolution. They want him to be the face of a new Zygon empire. They want him to be a weapon."
Adam's mind reeled. He wasn't a thief. He wasn't a lie. He was a weapon. The System's voice echoed in his mind, "You are a tool."
"But," Osgood said, his voice filled with a desperate hope. "There is a way. A painful, difficult way. We have the technology to remove the DNA. To return you to your human form. To make you a human again. But it is a painful process. It is a choice. You can be one of us, or you can be one of them. The choice is yours."
Adam looked at the Doctor, and he saw the fear and suspicion in his eyes. He saw the Doctor, who had just tried to use his own DNA to solve a problem. He saw the Doctor, who was now looking at him not as a companion, but as a potential monster. The choice was not his to make alone. He had to trust the Doctor.
