Prologue: 1000 years later

A/N: This is an idea that came to me while watching the most recent Doctor Who episode, Cold Blood. It was only broadcast in Britain today, so if you don't live in the UK, wait until you see Cold Blood to read this. On with the story!

Nasreen slowly opened her eyes, the world around her blurry and shimmering. She was in some sort of tube, strapped inside it. Slowly, her vision returned to her. Then it all came flooding back. The events surrounding the Doctor and Amy Pond and the small mining village in Wales.

Suddenly, a green humanoid shape appeared in front of the pod. The glass distorted any features this thing had.

"H-hello?" Nasreen asked. She was just beginning to grasp speech again, after being asleep for ten centuries.

The humanoid shape spoke with a hint of disgust in it's voice.

"You puny ape. How could our predecessors ever have allowed you to live amongst us? You should not be worthy to even breathe the same air!"

"I-I don't understand. Who are you?"

"You do not need to know," the shape hissed back. "You can sleep for enterinty for all I care."

Suddenly, gas seeped into the pod and Nasreen's vision dimmed again and then she fell asleep.
