Prologue-Something's Gone Wrong
"Hold on!" the Doctor shouted gleefully, grinning like mad as his ship threw her passengers this way and that. Rose shrieked as they went through a particularly nasty bit of turbulence, causing the ship to shudder and shake more violently than usual.
"What's wrong with her, Doctor? It isn't normally this chaotic of a ride!" Rose had to shout to be heard over the wheezing of the engines and other various noises of the misbehaving time machine.
"I don't know, she's avoiding all of my attempts to communicate with her! It's almost as if she's resisting me, like she won't land!" the Doctor yelled back, no longer enjoying the mayhem.
"I'm going to try to hack in manually, see if I can reset the coordinates and shut off the inner time loop. Maybe that's what's messing with her flight pattern programming!" As soon as the Doctor explained his newly formed plan to Rose, who honestly had no idea what he meant by that, everything went silent. The hectic shaking and big shudders suddenly stopped. Then, on top of that, all of the lights went off. They weren't even left with the emergency lights that should have turned on.
"Doctor?" Rose said quietly into the darkness, feeling rather foolish.
"Right here," he said at a normal volume, practically in her ear, causing Rose to jump.
"I can't even see my hand in front of my face," she said, ignoring his earlier effort to scare her. For now.
"Here, let me get the sonic screwdriver. Fortunately, it has a setting for giving off light, much brighter than a torch could ever get. Ah, here we go! Setting 3486-B, used for giving off light and ultraviolet rays. Don't worry, nothing harmless, just a few stray molecules of radiation, but nothing even remotely toxic. Well, I say nothing-"
"Doctor!" Rose interrupted him a little harshly, cutting off his random babbling.
"What?!" he said, exasperated and a little hurt.
"Listen! We've landed," she said, a little softer this time.
"What? Where?" He ran over to the other side of the console, carefully navigating the way with only the rather weak light of the screwdriver. After staring at the readings for a few seconds, the Doctor finally spoke.
"That's impossible," he whispered.
"What, what is it?" Rose asked, feeling somewhat nervous.
"We've been pulled to the other side of the universe, and that's impossible since there's only one thing in existence that has the power to do that so quickly: another TARDIS."
