Prologue- The Girl without a Name

In a very old mining colony located seven light-years from the Medusa Cascade, a group of men met in secret chamber; it had been forty years since they had done so. The men were respected by all, for their knowledge of the Universe was possessed by few. Now, in the lowly illuminated confines of their hidden chamber, they met under the assumption that this would be their last meeting.

One by one, they took their respective places among the broken round table and commenced to meeting.

"The girl is indeed the one," the man known as Father Abrahem announced, marking the beginning of the meeting. "How we proceed from here decides how everything we have worked for will survive." The other assembled members of the round table nodded their heads in agreement. "So, my brethren, how can we save our people?"

A collective silence filled the room. The answered they sought after was too unbearable to speak of. Father Abrahem had always known that the cost would be the worst among his nightmares. He looked upon Brother Kais to deliver the dark news.

"If she is indeed the Doctor's daughter, then her safety must be guaranteed versus that of our people. Without her, this Universe shall cease to be as the way we know it of existing." Brother Kais slowly stated this news as the members of the group went from quiet to loud with protest.

"Silence," Father Abrahem shouted. "We know what we must and it shall be done." He turned and asked Father Gregory a question. "What of the Paradigm?"

"The Inquisitors have already begun rounding up the necessary components to crack it," he answered, "we have to decide our plan of action now." Father Abrahem nodded. "Then it is set. We are to protect this girl and get her to safety."

Just as the group came to an agreement, alarms began ringing all over the mine. "It has been an honor serving with you," Father Abrahem yelled with strength. From the bottom of the table, he produced rifles that were given to him as gifts from the Sontarans.

"Take one," he commanded, "and get into position. I will meet with their emissaries." A console rose from the table, and with a flick of his wrist, Father Abrahem disappeared into the nether.

"You heard what he said," Brother Kais barked, "protect her at all costs."

A/N- Don't forget to review and tell me what you thought of this prologue.
