If there was a way to appropriately distract the Doctor, it was traveling by tentacles. The Doctor found it just as squirmy as his first encounter with them, tempted to reach out and try to examine the bases. They were moving too quickly, however, and with his memory being faulty like a human's these days, he couldn't just take one quick look and get everything he needed.

He waited until they were deposited on the next level, moving automatically to straighten his bowtie.

"Where were we? Ah!" he answered his own question, "The omnicomm. More like restrictions just get in the way. Useless middleman. Not that it's a man..."

The Doctor trailed off as they started to enter the Hanger, looking around with interest.
