Summary: Anyone could last two months in prison. After an adventure in 1969 goes wrong, River has to infiltrate an isolated base in the US desert to rescue the Doctor from captivity at the hands of military scientists. By the time she discovers the lengths they have gone to learn the Doctor's secrets, it may be too late to save either of them.

Notes:This started out in January 2011 as a "what if" story from a prompt based on the series 6 trailer. Then it kept going. Many years later, it's been adapted and updated and retro-fitted and is still going on. Many thanks to those who have given me encouragement and helpful betas along the way: clocketpatch, ladymercury_10, a_phoenixdragon, flowsoffire, nonelvis, vattelapesca, and various anons on the meme where it began for all their feedback and cheerleading. You are all the best.
