The First Doctor stands at the TARDIS console, staring blankly at the column. Ian walks into the control room and notices the Doctor's lack of attention. 'Doctor? Doctor?' The Doctor doesn't reply. Ian reaches out and lightly taps the Doctor on the shoulder.
'Hmm? What, oh... Chesterton. I hadn't noticed you there.' The Doctor smiles briefly while Ian's expression shows sympathy and sorry for the Doctor.
'Still thinking about her?' The Doctor looks up.
'No. No, no... she had a life there. One she'd never have had she stayed with me. No, dear boy... it's what she deserved.' The Doctor slowly walks to the other end of the console, sliding his hand along it as he goes. Susan clasps at his thoughts. He has Ian and Barbara, and now Vicki. But none of them are his dearest granddaughter. Suddenly, Vicki yells for Ian in excitement. Ian and the Doctor instantly turn to see Vicki and Barbara run to the doors entering the control room, both with smiles of excitement on their faces.
'Ian, come and see. Quick!' Says Vicki before running back to where they had just came.
'Yes, Ian. Come take a look.' Barbara follows after.
'Haha, alright. I'm coming.' Ian laughs as he turns to the Doctor who has returned to playing about with the console. 'Must have found something new...' Ian tries to get a reply out of the Doctor who lifts his head high and stares at Ian.
'Yes, yes. I do believe it's the new hot tub I installed for the three of you.' Ian laughs with shock and excitement before running after the women. The Doctor smiles as he watches him leave and then presses a few buttons on the console. With that, the TARDIS begins to shake out of control. Sparks fly from the column while smoke pours from the console. The scanner screen smashes, stopping the Doctor from having any clue to where they may land. The Doctor quickly works his way around the console, flicking switches, reaching his arm over to the other side and pressing buttons before pulling leavers.
'This isn't supposed to happen. Oh! What are you doing?...' The TARDIS roars in pain. 'This is nonsense!'
