The Doctor lay awake on his bunk staring up at the ceiling; he found it very difficult to sleep he felt very uneasy. Just above his head was a cord dangling from the ceiling, he pulled on it and the room burst into light. The Doctor shaded his eyes as the sudden change of light made his eyes burn. He sat on the edge of his bed rubbing his eyes. The room was plain, four white walls, and a small window just above the beds headrest, a desk, and chair with the Doctors trench coat neatly hanging over the back, a large steel door with electronic keypad to open the door, and a wardrobe opposite to the desk. He heard what could only be the crew banging and clattering out side, the pipes rattling every now and again. He gazed out the tiny little window; stars littered the view like tiny diamonds tinkering on a velvet black canvas. He got to his feet, smoothed down his light blue long sleeved shirt, and walked to the wardrobe. He threw open the doors and neatly hanging on a coat hanger were his brown pinstriped jacket and matching blue and brown tie. He pulled on his jacked and fastened his tie while glancing at himself in the long mirror screwed on the inside of the wardrobe door. He hastily grabbed his coat of the back of the chair and pulled it on over his jacket. He heard a soft thud as something hit the ground. As he looked down at his feet, he saw that his physic paper had fallen out of his pocket and was lying open on the ground. As he bent down to pick it up, when he was surprised to see the words "Help Us" scribble in childlike handwriting appeared on the paper and just a quickly disappeared. The Doctor stared blankly at the paper as he picked it up as the words appeared and disappeared once again. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver from inside his jacket pocket, changed the setting, and pointed it at the paper trying to find a trace to where the message came from, it whirred, but nothing happened, The Doctor reset it, pointed it at the paper again, and still nothing happened, he was puzzled. He folded it up, pocketed the paper, he pushed a big red button on the keypad and the door automatically slid open and he walked out the room. The hallway was empty as he walked softly along the hallway as hope not to wake anyone else. He stopped outside Rose's room and knocked on the door. There was no answer, he knocked again, and this time the door slid open and a tired looking Rose wearing blue and white striped pajamas with messed up hair answered,

"Hello" She yawned and rubbed her eyes "What's wrong?" she asked as she tried to straighten her hair with her hands. The Doctor walked passed her into the room identical in every way to his, apart from the clothes scattered all over the floor and unmade bed. Rose sat down on the bed as The Doctor handed her the physic paper. She opened it and like him was surprised to see the message appear and disappear.

"I tried to find a trace," He told her "but something was blocking me," he said leaning against the desk

"Where do you think it's coming from?" Rose asked

"Beats me, but I think if we hooked it up to the TARDIS to the paper it could take us there, or at least show us a vague area"

"Eight years old" Rose said as she threw the paper back at The Doctor

"What?"

"The kid who sent the message, I'd say they were about eight"

"But that's impossible" The Doctor said bewildered, "No child of eight years of age could have physic powers that advanced. I didn't until I was about 14. God that was a long time a go" he mused

"I'm just saying, that's what it looks like" Rose softly as she yawned again

The Doctor examined the paper once again before pocketing it, "all right we'll head to the TARDIS," he said hitting the button and the door re-opening. Rose made a sound of disapproval and folded her arms, The Doctor looked back at her as he stood in the hallway, he forgot that she was still in her pajamas "You can change in the TARDIS," he told her and the two sneakily hurried up the hall way.

"Any luck?" Rose asked as she walked down the golden spiral staircase in the TARDIS brushing her hair in a new outfit of blue jeans and baby blue t-shirt. The Doctor hunched over a PC screen rapidly typing on the keyboard. He sadly shook his head, "Nothing" He stepped backwards stood up straight, pulled his head back and rubbed his face. He brushed his hand though lavish brown hair "I don't understand, she can take us through time and space but can brake a barrier protecting something" he slowly walked away from the screen his hands covering his face he sighed and sat on the edge of the console of the TARDIS staring at the ground. Rose looked at the screen; it looked very confusing, numbers and letters scrolled across the screen so fast she had barley time to read what they said.

"It looks like an encryption code," Rose said

"How would you know what they looked like?" The Doctor asked

"Mum watched a lot of Action Crime Drama things,"

"Let me guess, she would watch them for the nail bighting tension?"

"No. for the fit guys in tight white tank tops" Rose smirked

The Doctor smiled "Of course"

Suddenly there was a faint bleeping sound, The Doctor ran to the screen "Yes, Oh come on girl you got it" he said excitedly and feverishly typed on the keyboard. The screen changed to the normal blue backdrop and a faint green flashing light was show on the screen

"Ah Ha!" The Doctor laughed with joy "It's a signal, its week but it's a signal!" he said excitedly dashing round the console, pushing buttons and flipping switches as Rose watched and smiled

"You got it?" Rose asked

"We got it," The Doctor said beaming at her "I knew she could do it," he said excitedly patting the TARDIS "Lets just hope we don't lose it,"

He jumped excitedly in front of a large silver lever, turned to Rose and said, "Hold on tight," he grinned and pulled the lever towards him.
