Rey “Who are you.”

The woman smiles.

Thirteenth Doctor “Precisely! I am the Doctor. Big fan of yours, by the way. Come on in.”

The door closes behind Rey, leaving the void behind.

Thirteenth Doctor “You would not believe the trouble I’ve gone through just to find you. I wanted to find you before it was too late, but then it turned out to be too late, but then it didn’t matter as you’re still out here floating about.”

Rey takes in her surroundings as the Doctor continues talking.

Thirteenth Doctor “This is my time ship. We call it the TARDIS. That’s Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. It can go practically anywhere, but finding your realm was a rather rough navigation. I have some companions, but they’re currently resting.”

Rey “Do you know what happened?”

Thirteenth Doctor “Oh you mean to your universe? I’m afraid what’s happened to your home is now happening to other universes.”

Rey appears uncertain at the words she just heard.

Rey “Other universes?”

Thirteenth Doctor “Your galaxy is part of a far bigger picture than you realize. Others are either trying to rush along the progress of destruction or re-engineer it into something else. Someone or something out there is trying to erase us all and obviously you’re going to be needed to help prevent it.”

Rey “I’m afraid I don’t understand. Who would want to erase existence?”

Thirteenth Doctor “I have a premonition this isn’t so much erasure as it is a replacement of something sinister by comparison. I prefer the outcome be a little different, don’t you?”

Rey walks up to the Doctor, her expression letting her know the seriousness of her statement.

Rey “I want my home back. I want my friends, my loved ones, back.”

Thirteenth Doctor “I suppose we should get to work then, shall we?”

“Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still.”
