The Doctor walked further into the cavernous room as Donna, Martha and Jack followed hesitantly, preferring the option of nearing the other aliens than standing near the blank guards. Their constant stare and lack of movement was strange and unnerving.

The creature that sat in the centre of the half circle stood, his batlike wings folding back until they were almost un-noticeable. He walked towards the doctor slowly as though hesitant to get to close, yet somehow still managing to radiate confidence and power. "Doctor, you have arrived earlier than we expected," The creature croaked, its voice as black and lifeless as the darkness that loomed above them.

The Doctor appeared surprised that they had used his name, before hiding it behind a mask of mild interest, "I don't mean to be rude,"-Martha and Jack rolled their eyes at this-"But I have no idea who you are or where you're from (and believe me that does not happen often), yet you seem to know who I am. How is that so?" The Doctor asked mildly, whilst watching the creature with interest.

The alien smiled lightly before replying with a small smirk, "How rude of me, my name is Xantha, we are from nowhere and might I say that your reputation precedes you." The Doctor looked at Xantha and his mask slipped, revealing fascination and confusion. "What do you mean you come from nowhere? You have to come from somewhere."

Xantha merely looked amused before explaining like a teacher would to a slow student that, "We are from nowhere. We are born in the darkness that never sees light. We travel far, to many different places but we are from nowhere. If you are as smart as they say you are Doctor you should be able to understand. Look around you at the metal that is used make this ship. What is it?"

The Doctor peered at the ships walls before turning back to Xantha, "It's Ireeline, strong enough to go into the..." The Doctor trailed off as his eyes widened and his jaw dropped. "Surely not! There is no way," he said in wonder.

Martha moved forward, forgotten in the half completed and riddle like sentences. "What is it Doctor? Strong enough to go into the what?"

The Doctor turned his face suddenly serious as he replied, "Strong enough to go into the void."
