Rose was running in part of the basement of the Valiant and finally saw what had been calling to her. The TARDIS was standing in the back of a hallway shaking. Pulling her key from around her neck as she ran towards her old home.

Inside Rose slammed the door shut and with her eyes shut and back to the wall she slid down the door. Slowly she opened her eyes to the blood red light. Rose let out a scream as she heard the TARDIS' screams in her mind.

"What did he do to you?!" Rose got up and walked around the Paradox Machine, careful not to touch anything.

Her presence seemed to sooth the TARDIS slightly.

"I'm going to fix this. Your gonna be alright, yeah?"

The Master was fuming. Someone was on his ship, without his permission, and he didn't know who it was.

Jack was already back and Martha was gone. The Doctor was staring at the spot where the woman had been standing. It had looked like Rose, but it couldn't be her, could it? He begged to Rassilon that it wasn't her, for her sake.

Pushing the intruder out of his mind the Master continued his little show. Grabbing Lucy's hand he ran to the window as the sky split, dropping thousands of Tocalfane to the Earth.

The Doctor heard the Master say something to Lucy but he wasn't pay attention. There was something different. The TARDIS had calmed it's self and he could hear the quiet humming of her engines. What was different? Why all of a sudden had she quieted?

His thoughts were interrupted when the Master announced through a speaker, "Remove one-tenth of the population!"

Jack let out a gasp. How could he do that! The master ran down the steps pointing to some guards.

"Take him," motioning to Jack, "to the basement. We're going to have some fun later!" He went over to the Doctor as the guards dragged Jack from the room. The Doctor wore a worried look in his eyes. "So Doctor, who was that? Based from the pitch of the scream I assume it was a woman, so who was it?"

The Doctor wasn't listen. What was going on with his TARDIS? All of a sudden his cheek was stinging and he was lying on the floor.

"Doctor! When your master asks you a question you answer! Now who was it?"

He shook his, "I, I don't know."

"LIAR! Anybody else on this ship wouldn't have cared about the Freak being shot, so it must be someone you know!"

He kicked the Doctor in the stomach causing him to curl up in pain. "You disappoint me Doctor. I at least thought that you would want to protect who ever it was." Looking at one of the guards for news. "Anything?"

"Sir, it seems that who ever it was got into the TARDIS."

"How?-" He turned to the Doctor, "So it is one of your's! How sad!" Looking back at the guard who had just spoken. "Let's have some fun shall we? Somebody restrain him please." Nodding to the Doctor. With that he pranced out of the room with his destination the TARDIS.

He simply danced through the halls of he basement but stopped when he saw a fairly beautiful blonde walk by in black uniform. Following her in the opposite direction he tapped her shoulder. She twirled to face him.

"Sir."

"Call me Master actually... Are you on my force?"

"Yes, Sir- Master. I was hired late in replacement of... Smith."

"Right. Sad thing, what happened to him. What's your name sweetheart?" He asked as he moved a stray strand of hair from in front of her face.

"Tyler." Trying hard not to slap his hand away.

"Ok Tyler, what are you doing down here?"

"I was told to come assist with the TARDIS. Something about an intruder."

"Off we go then," he looped her arm through his leading them down the hall to the TARDIS. "So Tyler, have a first name?"

" Rose, Rose Tyler."

"A flower. How beautiful. Defiantly fitting for someone as yourself," They reached the TARDIS and he opened the door, "After you my flower."

She nodded and stepped in as the Master followed. She looked back at him with a confused look on her face. "It's bigger on the inside?"

"Indeed it is." This time he wrapped his arm around her waist and she slightly tensed. He led her towards where the console used to be.

"Why is it so dark and red?" Rose clenched her fist as to not show that she felt the pain of the TARDIS.

"She's helping me." He walked them over to a part where a slight part of where the console was still accessable and started punching some things in.

"What's that?"

"I'm scanning to see if there is anyone else on the ship. Can never to be to careful." The search started but ended up negative. "Whoever she was, she left already. Must be somewhere else in the Valiant."

"What does this woman matter? She can't do anything with a whole army on board so why is she such a high priority?"

"I don't like people working against me. I need her as a sort of ammunition."

Rose put a fake look of concern and confusion, "Against who?"

Tightening his arm around her small waist again and looking her up and down with his eyes settling on her chest then her lips. He shook his head as though to clear a thought and looked at her eye, "Come on. I'll show you."
