Prologue part Two
"What?" he asked her, staring in shock at her eyes. He saw the golden mist leave her and return to the TARDIS.
"Listen, there isn't much time." she gasped out, wrapping her arms around herself.
"I'm listening."
"Jack's alive. Get him. Go to the Pyramid of Cheops. On the third day of May, 1781. Wait outside the entrance. I will come for you."
"Rose what are you talking about?"
"No more time. Cannot sustain…" she fell to her knees and disintegrated, breaking apart into tiny golden sparks just like the daleks before her.
"Rose! Rose!" he cried.
The lift door opened behind him.
"Doctor what's going on? They killed me, I know they did, yet I'm alive and the daleks are dust."
"Rose…she came back. She'd merged with the heart of the TARDIS, it gave her incredible powers. She destroyed the daleks. Permanently. I'm guessing she brought you back too. But the strain, it was killing her. No-one is meant to merge with the vortex. I was going to stop her, to save her, and then…she said 'I remember' out of nowhere, kept me away, told me you were alive and something about Pyramids in May, then she just…vanished. Like the daleks only not."
Jack watched him in shock.
"I failed her. I never though she'd come back, never thought she'd risk that. And now she's dead."
"Doctor concentrate. I doubt she mentioned the pyramids for no reason. What did she say? It might be important."
"…she said to go to the entrance of the Pyramid of Cheops, the third of May 1981. She said…hold on! She said she'd meet us there. Maybe she found a way to survive – having all the knowledge of Time and Space within you tends to make you intelligent. A genius even."
"Well let's head off then. The quicker we go there the quicker we'll meet her and the quicker she'll be able to let us know what the heck is going on."
"Right." The Doctor said, stepping into the TARDIS and up to the central console. "May the third, 1981."
