"  HELLO  ? " It drones, it's monotonous voice echoing through the darkened underground room. It stands still, as if trying to hear better.   "IDENTIFY YOURSELF."

Afraid and still unable to think straight, she laid down on the floor and emerged in golden streams of light from her body, flooding back as fast as she could into her TARDIS shell. The intruders soon became aware of the eerie clanging of the Cloister bell resonating around them, as they wandered around lost in the labyrinth the TARDIS had created. Whilst in the main console room a tangle of tubes attached to the underside of the console, pulsed and strobed with incadescent blue light. The tubes lead out of the TARDIS' doors to a huge spherical shaped machine which glowed rhythmically whilst the dial on it showed that it was 3/4 full.   She could feel the energy draining from her as she tried to seal off the console. As she did so a light on the machine outside flashed yellow and a surge of red light rushed through several empty tubes from the machine to the console which flashed and sparked, burning out several circuits but not enough to stop her from dematerializing in hopes of leaving the machine behind. But as the whirring started and she began to phase, the machine shot out another burst of red and she found herself unable to take control, tossed and flung against her will through the vortex, the machine still clinging to her, having forced her to extend her shields around it. In the center of London's Hyde Park, a boy and his mother stopped and stared as a blue Police Box appeared in front of them on it's side, it's door swung partially closed on a spaghetti-like tangle of tubes connected to a huge silver ball, studded with cube-shaped protruberances and a dial nearly reading FULL.

           Hello.

"What are you doing?"
