(part 2)

"My... What do we have here...? Party crashers...? Or, Space Tourists?"

said the 10th Doctor, to his Companion... the ever lovely Rose Tyler.

"Doctor... maybe some aliens are just curious, about us Humans? Just like

when the atom bomb was created... then UFO's appeared 2 years later!"

offered Rose. "Why, Yes! That Roswell Incident was after the Bomb came!"

agreed The Doctor. He and Rose watched the 2 ships, which watched them.

The designs of the other two ships were as unique looking as the TARDIS.

The closer and smaller one looked like a black diamond, in shape. The other

craft farther off was huge... Monstrously huge, when compared to the outer

size of the TARDIS. And it looked almost primitive, after a fashion. It nearly

looked like a pair of early 1900's railroad oil tanker cars, in a tandem-joined

configuration, but with many protrusions and doo-dads about it's outer surfaces.

Meanwhile... Inside the Lunar Module (the 'Eagle'), from Earth:

Buzz: "Well... If it's the Russians... Oh, crap. And if it is somebody from 'Out There'... Oh, crap!"

Neil: "I copy that, Buzz... Now, let's rest up... For the Big Moment. Oh Lord, let this Mission Succeed!"

Buzz: "Yeah... Amen to that!" (they soon slept soundly, albeit more than a little bit uneasily?)

Houston earlier advised them to keep watch on the the other craft as necessary, but to simply

disregard their presence (to keep it all 'hush-hush'... and not alarm the good folks back home).

Inside the black diamond ship... Was a Thallorian woman. Light blue skin... Jet black long hair. Her race

was one of several galactic united space alliance peoples, that wanted to see the Earth Humans succeed.

She closely monitored the Earth vessel... for the expected excursion, onto the surface of Earth's sole moon.

The couple... space travelers... ensconced within the other, archaic-looking ship, enjoyed a very good view...

A spacious cabin area, at one end... Well appointed too. Like something out of a Jules Verne novel travel story.

At the far end... It was all 'business' like. Large pipes, and many propulsion and attitude type control devices.

Near the middle, was an obvious access hatch-way. And, in a few minutes... the occupants 'popped the hatch'.
