"We are under attack! There are creatures... I don't even think they're human. We can't stop them" King Louis XV panicked.
"The clock is broken. He's coming" Reinette muttered eyes glued on to the fire place. The King moves towards her, concerned that she is still looking at the fireplace and not trying to flee.
"Did you hear what I said?"The King asked grabbing her hand and pulling her away from the fire place, she stops and looked insistently at him, "Listen to me. There is a man coming to Versailles. He has watched over me my whole life and he will not desert me tonight"
KING LOUIS XV shook his head "What are you talking about? What man?"
REINETTE sighed "The only man, save you, I have ever loved." She pauses but quickly moves on before the King can speak "No, don't look like that, there's no time. You have your duties. I am your mistress. Go to your queen."
She moves back to the fireplace, and crouching down she speaks into the flames with a sense of urgency,"Are you there? Can you hear me? I need you now, you promised. The clock on the mantel is broken. It is time. Doctor! Doctor!"
3000 YEARS LATER
A starry sky. The view moves upwards to reveal a stationary spaceship. The TARDIS can be heard materialising inside.
The Doctor emerges from the TARDIS, closely followed by Amy Rory and River Song, All four of them proceed to look around a dark, apparently disused room of the spaceship,
"Where are we?" Amy Asked gripping Rory's hand
"Yeah Looks kind of abandoned... Anyone on board?" Rory asked
"A space ship of some sort but there's nothing here. Well! Nothing dangerous. Well! Not that dangerous." The Doctor rambled looking around the room
River raises an eyebrow and pulls out her PDA to do a scan.
"River I'm sure" The Doctor started but got distracted by the control panel in the middle of the room.
"So, what's the date? How far we gone?"Amy asked pressing some buttons
"About three thousand years into your future, give or take." River answered wary of where they were.
The Doctor pulls on a switch and the lights turn on, the roof gradually opening into a window which shows a spectacular view of the stars outside.
"Fifty-first century." River started but was interrupted by The Doctor
"Diagmar Cluster, you're a long way from home, Ponds! Two and a half galaxies!"
Rory moves to what he assumes to be a port hole, Amy follows him, smiling, as the Doctor rummages around the control panel, picking up bits and pieces of presumably broken technology and looking unimpressed.
River really didn't like this, there was just something about this place..
"Its beautiful!" Amy exclaimed glaring outside with Rory.
"Dear me, had some cowboys in here! Not real ones, but that can happen" The doctor chucks down a piece of metal,looking for something more interesting,
"Doctor" River call out "Here's something"
The doctor rushes over to River and peers down at the diagram before him "Now that's odd, look at that. All the warp engines are going... full capacity! There's enough power running through this ship to punch a hole in the universe... and we're not moving. So where's all that power going?"
Whilst River and the Doctor pondered over the diagrams Rory noticed something,
"River...Where'd all the crew go?"
