Naru Osaka stood with her mother, looking at the ruins of her mother's jewelry shop and could only say one thing. "Tell me you paid the insurance this month."
Her mother dully nodded, having come outside her shop to see the meteor that everyone had been talking about, and realizing that if she had just stayed at her kiosk - Naru would be an orphan.
News crews gathered around like hungry sharks with a wounded whale at the center. Some interviewed anyone moving, while others just rattled inanities off as filler while waiting for something to happen.
CLANG! whoosh CRUNCH!
Like a section of meteor coming off, sailing through the air, and flattening a small Chinese utility truck.
Everyone looked at the crumpled vehicle, and then a few seconds later its car alarm went off.
Finally shapes began trundling out of the hole.
"pepper grinders?" asked one of the radio reporters.
The dozen or so pepper grinders looked at the crowds through their "handles" before coming to an apparently unanimous decision.
"EX TER MI NATE!"
CHUUUUUUUUUUU
"Did she say 'pepper grinders'?" asked the Doctor.
"Yes, she did," said Cologne, who had brought the radio.
"Isn't that what they call pepperpots around here?" asked the Doctor.
"Yes, I believe so," said Cologne.
"I can only think of one thing that looks like a pepperpot and yells 'exterminate' in a mechanical voice," said the Doctor. "But they're all dead."
The ranking Dalek surveyed. "Targets eliminated or have fled. Options?"
"Pursue fleeing targets," offered Dalek #2.
"Consolidate and fortify landing site," suggested a third.
