The TARDIS lurched. Nyssa clutched the console, attempting to steady herself. The Doctor, somehow, stood fixed, his hands flying across the controls the bring the ship safely from the vortex.
“Collision? With what? Where are we, Doctor?”
“Earth’s solar system, somewhere between Earth and Mars. Twelfth century.” The Doctor paused. “Asteroid? No, artificial. A derelict spacecraft, probably the Ice Warriors, adrift for millennia.” His manner was both breathless and conclusive.
He threw a switch, and the scanner opened.
“Oh dear.”
“Doctor, is that… a teapot?”
“Russell will not be pleased.”
