No voice, half asleep and updating. Enjoy! Happy Easter! :D

"What? How is she not dead?" Sarah Jane asked while taking off her jacket and folding it. Once she had she placed it under Phil's head to fashion a make shift cushion. "Surely she must be dead?"
"Yes," The Doctor nodded. "She should be."
"Psychic energy couldn't keep the power of the TARDIS under control surely? If so then, how much energy does she actually possess?"
"I don't know," The Doctor paused. "What are they doing to my TARDIS to make Phil get knocked out?"
"So they're linked?"
"Yes Luke, they're linked. They have a very nice little friendship going on." The Doctor smiled although the smile looked forced. "See this isn't her pain she's feeling. Before we got split up she said they were trying to get in."
"So they've got in."
"Yes. I can only imagine what they're doing to my poor machine." Pouting The Doctor put a hand on Phil's shoulder and pushed her back to lay down. She kept on trying to move around, apparently to an early ramble moving helped. They believed her and let her move away from the wall – which Jack and Doctor were holding her to – but she only ran to another wall and started hitting her head against it.
Whatever they were doing to the TARDIS was literally picking Phil apart and making her have bouts of madness.
Phil looked around deliriously. "I don't think coming straight to the source was wise." Then there were times when she sounded completely normal. These moments didn't last long. The Doctor knew full well they were sitting in a room with a ticking time bomb.
It literally was only a matter of time before the people watching them would get annoyed with Phil's behaviour and take her away. Most likely when she's gone she will get killed. This was the main reason why he kept pushing her to lay down and keep still.
As hard as it was. Phil needed to seem as sane as possible. "I don't think it was either."
"Why didn't we go to a U.N.I.T base?"
"You were going to go to a U.N.I.T base?" Jack turned on his heels and walked over to them. Phil nodded slowly. "They've been destroyed. All more or less at the same time."
"How?"
"They blew up. Or got blown up should I say?" Jack nodded. "Just like what you saw?"
"Uh-huh." Phil confirmed and then twitched. "Can we go?" She asked confused, Jack and The Doctor looked at each other. Sarah Jane and Luke sat next to the Time Lord with concerned faces.
"She really isn't going to last much longer you know?"
"Yes I know."
"I've died before and come back."
"Phil that doesn't mean that you'll come back if you die again."
"She's died before?"
"Yes that's a long story."
"We don't seem to be going anywhere." Luke said simply.
"I was going to get used as a vessel or whatever to bring a dark evil into the world and help destroy it." Phil explained and looked at the teenager. "I got shot, right at the last minute of my epic heroic moment of rescuing a certain someone." Phil pointed lazily at The Doctor who in turn grinned and nodded. "I died. I knew I was going to as well, but pfft I didn't really care."
"That's very brave of you Philippa." Sarah Jane smiled, Phil shrugged and crossed her arms.
"What was dying like?"
"Luke!" Sarah Jane scolded her son.
"Empty." Phil shut her eyes. "Empty and cold. Not to mention boring."
"I don't think death is meant to be enjoyed." Jack laughed, Phil smiled and nodded agreeing with him. Lifting her head up from the make shift cushion she frowned. "This room is really boring." Phil stated the obvious while getting helped to sit.
"You're not going to try and smash your head through the walls again are you?" Jack questioned warily while keeping a hand on her shoulder.
"No."
"Philippa this is important," The Doctor said seriously, she turned and looked at him. "Do you know what they've done?" Despite already having a dull headache Phil sat in silence thinking. Eventually she nodded slowly.
"It's as cliché as the world domination thing." Phil opened her eyes and looked at him. "She'd make a very good weapon, I think I just quoted one of the men who broke the doors down. You need new doors."
"What? Oh really? That's not fair!"
"Double locking didn't help us much did it?"
"No!"
"There's still doors, just...one looks a little off the hinge." Phil nodded slowly while smiling at his childish reaction.
"Feeling better?"
"Very." Phil smiled at Sarah Jane and stuck her hand out. "Introductions haven't been made on account of me being unconscious and then flipping out. I'm Phil, although you already know that."
"Sarah Jane." The older woman answered while putting her hand in hers and shaking it. Phil frowned lightly and opened her mouth to say something. The Doctor put a hand over her mouth and shook his head.
"You can ramble odd facts which you stole from the TARDIS which involve Sarah Jane later."
"Phil." She smiled and stuck her hand out to the next person.
"Luke."
"Don't ignore me!"
"I'm not. I took what you said on board." Phil smiled, "Good to meet you both." She then turned to Jack.
He grinned and held his hand out to her, "Captain Jack Harkness."
"Where's your ship Cap'n?"
"I don't have one at the moment."
"Right...your ship isn't gonna look like a stereotypical alien one or a blue police box is it?"
"Oh no! My ships tend to look a lot cooler."
"Hey! There's nothing wrong with the TARDIS!" The Doctor exclaimed protectively. Phil and Jack laughed at his reaction.
