Chapter 4
In the TARDIS, the Doctor, Jack and Sarah were perfectly comfortable with the ships disproportionate dimensions while the Torchwood team were standing by the door looking really shocked. "Oh my god, look at this place" said Tosh. Her colleagues then nodded their heads as if to say that they were agreeing with her statement about the TARDIS's big interior. "Sarah would you please explain to this lot about the TARDIS while me and Jack perform some scans of the warehouse where the signal is?" asked the Doctor. Sarah answered the Doctor by saying yes; she then walked up to the Torchwood team and took a deep breath before saying "I know how you're feeling at this point believe me, I had the same expression on my face less than an hour ago. As you've noticed the TARDIS is indeed bigger on the inside than the out and that is because it is dimensionally transcendental meaning that the inside is in a different dimension to the outside. TARDIS by the way stands for Time and Relative Dimension in Space".
Gwen, Tosh, Owen and Ianto then look at each other gobsmacked but before they can say anything the Doctor says "Oh you're kidding me!" Sarah then goes up to him and asks what's wrong, he answers "I've just found out what species of alien it is that we've been chasing". Sarah looks a more than a little worried and asks him what species it is and his reply is just one word "Carrionite".
"Yeah, hi sorry to interrupt but what on Earth is a Carrionite?" asked Owen. The Doctor then said "I'll show you". He then went out of the room and two minutes later he came back in holding a crate. "What is that Doctor?" asked Jack. The Doctor's reply to that was that the box contained mementos of his travels that begin with a C. He then opened the box and removed: an Agatha Christie novel, Cyberman Chest plate and the head of a statue before picking up a crystal ball from which can be seen three screaming women dressed in black. "These ladies and gentlemen are Carrionites; they are witch-like humanoids from the planet Rexel 4. They are witch-like because they use advanced science which appears much like magic and voodoo. The Carrionites use words to manipulate the universe, they also have the ability to detect a person's true name" explained the Doctor. "So I'm guessing we need to stop them and fast, before they try to free their sisters trapped in that crystal ball". The Doctor's reply to that was that they indeed needed to find them, so he put everything back into the crate, went over to the console and moments later they landed.
