The other's had followed Rose to the empty bedroom. The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver. He walked into Jackie's room and used the sonic screwdriver to find traces of alien substances or technology. He looked at Jack and asked, "Care to help?" Jack shrugged, saying he didn't have anything to help with. "Check the TARDIS for sonic... anything." Jack nodded. The Doctor went back to work. Before he left, Jack tapped Katherine on the shoulder. She turned to him and he nodded his head toward the door, indicating that he wanted her to come with him. She nodded and followed him out the door and down to the TARDIS. Jack opened the doors of it, saying, "What kind of sonic does he want?"
Katherine, who had never seen the inside of the TARDIS before, stood just inside the door, staring at it in shock and amazement. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Jack had been looking around the controls when he looked up at her and saw her face. He smiled. "Beautiful, isn't she?" he said, referring to the TARDIS.
"How is all this possible?" she asked. She smiled as realized that this really was a thing of beauty.
"It's alien," Jack answered. He walked over to her, took her left hand in both of his, and led her further inside. He released her hand at the control center and continued his search. She kept looking around, and the more she saw, the more she smiled. They kept all this up for about five minutes when there was a loud knock on the door. They both turned to look at the door, startled. Jack walked over slowly and opened the door.
Standing outside was a young girl. She looked about thirteen, with dark hair down to her waist. Her eyes were brown and full of fear. Her clothes- a dark dress down to her feet- were ragged. "Please, we must save her," she said.

All around Jackie was darkness. She was frozen in fear. Where was she? How did she get here? What was going on?
Suddenly, a man appeared out of the darkness. He walked over to her. He had short, light brown hair, blue eyes, a light brown goatee and a dark, formal suit on. He stared at her. "Who are you?" he asked.
"Jackie Tyler. Who are you?"
"No, no, Jackie Tyler. I'm asking the questions, you give me the answers. Understood?"
She gulped. "Yes."
"Good. Now then, let me find out more about you." Her asked her about everything, from her family and friends to her favorite food. Anything and everything about her life. And she found herself answering al the questions he threw at her without hesitation. Why? What was this place? What did it do to her that she answered all the questions and revealed her whole life to this stranger?
