The TARDIS materializes on a giant spider web, high above a lush alien jungle. The Doctor and Donna step out, and are immediately greeted by a strange sight: a human-spider, dressed in a technician's jumpsuit, is working on a broken spaceship.
"Well, this is a first," says the Doctor.
"What's that doing here?" Donna asks.
"I don't know," the Doctor replies. "But let's find out."
They approach the spider technician, who is so engrossed in his work that he doesn't notice them at first.
"Excuse me," the Doctor says. "We're wondering what you're doing here."
The spider technician looks up and sees the Doctor and Donna. He smiles. "Oh, hello there. I'm just fixing this spaceship. It broke down a while ago, and I'm the only one around who can fix it."
"But why are you here?" the Doctor asks. "You're a humanoid. What brings you to a giant spider web?"
The spider technician shrugs. "I'm an interdimensional computer repair guy," he says. "I teleport from job to job. One day I'm on a Octopus colony in the Orion Nebula, the next day I'm on a Imperial Earth colony seed ship. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it."
The Doctor and Donna are amazed. They've never met anyone like him before.
"Well, it's nice to meet you," the Doctor says. "We're the Doctor and Donna. We're travelers from another dimension."
"That sounds fun, it's nice to meet you too," the spider technician says. "My name is Barley."
"So, Barley," the Doctor says. "How long have you been working on this spaceship?"
"Oh, a few days now," Barley says. "It's a tricky one, but I'm getting there."
"Well, good luck," the Doctor says. "If you need any help, just let us know."
"Thanks," Barley says. "I appreciate it."
The Doctor and Donna turn to leave.
"It was a pleasure meeting you, Barley," the Doctor says.
"The pleasure was all mine," Barley says.
The Doctor and Donna walk away, still amazed by what they've just seen.
"Well, that was certainly different," Donna says.
"Yes, it was," the Doctor replies. "But it's all part of the adventure."
The Doctor and Donna step back into the TARDIS and dematerialize. Barley watches them go, then turns back to his work. He has a spaceship to fix.
