The House of Silents

Doctor Who Fan Fiction by: gumygum62

Prologue

A heavy metal door automatically slides open, revealing a, hard, middle-aged woman. Her demeaner and disciplined body language told a story of brutal war and hardship. Her pressed high-ranking uniform and cold emotionless face made her army of men and women straighten their backs straighter and avoid eye contact as she marched passed them through the long corridor. She glanced out the asteroid proof windows seeing the foot of her military headquarters perched on a controlled asteroid.

One brave soldier approached her. "Madame Kovarian, here are the charts." He nervously sputtered.

Madame Kovarian took the chart from the young soldier and read it quickly as they both continued to walk to the next metal door of the 52st century space base.

"Very good. You're dismissed." She told him. The young soldier bowed and quickly scurried away.

Madame Kovarian opened a secret hatch located on the left side of the metal door frame. She entered a code and the door slid open.

As she entered the room she was immediately greeted with the lead scientist. "Hello Madame, I must say you are looking graceful this morning." He told her in hopes that it would ease the tension in her face.

"Cut the crap, Dr. Hieck." She told him, not impressed. "Is it ready?"

"Yes…well kind of. Madame I must advise that using it now would be unprecedented. According to the old data that we retrieved from the Library's CAL system archives, the machine needs a link to the Loomographic records for it to be stable. If it starts the weaving process the machine could…."

"I don't want the details of your concerns." She interrupted him angrily, stopping him speaking immediately. "Will it scan and will it work?" She asked again in a stern voice.

Dr. Hieck swallowed hard and held the urge to wipe away the sweat from forehead in fear of moving "Yes, Madame." He finally said

"Good." Kovarian said with a grin. "Prepare it like we planned and find the Doctor and his silly little wife." She walked passed Dr. Hieck, who instantly rushed up to the nearest phone and told the person to proceed.

Kovarian stopped to admire the machine in question. The oval like structure seemed almost fictitious, standing 18 feet tall and 10 feet wide. The round chamber had a sliding door with no way to get in and a small round scanning device above it. It was gold in color and had the most beautiful Gallifreyian text covering the sides that seemed to glisten like polished glass.

It didn't take long before another young soldier, female this time, to run into the room to Kovarian's side. "We found them, Madame." She said

"Both together?" Madame Kovarian asked.

"Yes, Madame."

"Good. Extracted them and proceed with the plan." She told her and let out a relieved sigh. "My wonderful revengeful plan." She added letting out a devious grin and stroking her eye patch.
