"I don't know but I found a way out. When I say move slowly sideways to the right. There's a door that should keep us safe. But what ever you do, don't blink and don't stop looking at them!"

Aven found her her patience fraying under the stress.
"You don't KNOW? Why do you know what to do then?!" she asked fixing her gaze on the broken angel. Her gaze began to burn and inadvertently blinked for a fraction of a second. The statue had moved and was now facing her new position. She swore heavily in several dialects.
"So tell me then, what happens if I blink... what'll they do to us. Or do you NOT know that either?" she added a feeling a little snippy at being cornered by unknown creatures.

"They will kill us! Now go!" he said while pulling her back towards the door as fast as he could without making her fall. His free hand reached out for the door handle.

She obeyed and quickly slipped through the door.
"This has got to be the worst death ever... killed by statue! How embarassing!"

The Doctor jumped in after her and closed the door quickly. He used his screwdriver to lock the door. And finally gave out a relived sigh and looked at her.

Aven the first thing that she noticed of the room was that it was the officer's lounge as such, it had several bookshelves, a media center and... a mini-bar. They were stuck, in every sense of the word. Statues banging on the door outside blocking their way back to the TARDIS. It was insane, it was thrilling, it was... INCREDIBLY MIND BLOWING FUN!
"So," she breathed with a smile, "you come here often?"
She got up and began poking around.
"No way in, no way out. SO as long as we're stuck here, how about that drink?" she asked with a cocky smirk, "maybe you can tell me all about the killer statues and what they are."

The Doctor slumped against the wall. "Do we really have to go over that right now? Shouldn't we be thinking of a way out?"

Aven began fiddling with a few gizmos and finally managed to produce two decent margaritas. She took a sip from her own and leaned on the wall next to the Doctor offering him the other drink.
"Oh must you look so dejected?" she asked, "We're in a base in Europa BILLIONS of miles in space, having margaritas and all you can think about is the murderous statues pawing at our door when you've OBVIOUSLY overlooked one great big hulking thing..."
She trailed off there and sipped the rest of her drink blissfully.
"Hm... I wonder if that little cupboard has kosher salt..."

The Doctor frowned and looked over at the door. He was not in the mood of a drink at the moment. He looked around the room for a way out.

Aven sighed and put down her glass before staring at him.
"How much does it cost to send supplies to a moon base?" she asked in a tone that said she knew something but wasn't going to share.

"How should I know? Does it look like I have a job?" he said while looking over at her when he recognized that tone in her voice. "Anything you would like to share?"

Aven gave him a look that all but screamed 'I know something you don't'.
"I'm willing to bet that it costs a lot no?" she asked innocently, "So riddle me this Doctor. Why would ANYONE drag a pair of stone statues millions of miles into space? It's one helluva way to decorate, wouldn't you think?"
She sauntered over to a nearby terminal and began tapping away at the touchscreen. "So what if... they didn't bring them in from Earth. What if, they found them here... or rather, there. In the storm."
She pointed at Jupiter and the large screen showed the violent red spot.
"There's enough kinetic energy in that storm to tear metal beams apart. What would it do to an angel?"

"Are you saying that we trick the Angels into destroying themselves?" he said with an raised eyebrow.

"I'm saying the Angels are afraid of the storm," she gave him a crafty glance, "they're good at inspiring fear, lets use that against them. You said they've killed the crew, if that were so, where are their bodies?"
Aven's mind was troubled. She didn't like killing anymore than she liked creating a weapon. If the Angels hadn't killed anyone, she wasn't going to be the first to shed blood... or was it dust? What did weeping angels bleed when injured?

The Doctor titled his head, "that's a good point but how are we going to get them down to the storm?" he said while walking around now looking at other things.
