Pirates where rowing towards a big ship "What's wrong" "Man wounded" milligan said as the man shaked "Wake him He slipped in the bilge water, Cap'n and fell on to the rigger. His hand. I Don't know if he'll survive""You're a dead man, McGrath. Same as all the others. She's here" avery said looking at the man hand " Oh, save our souls""I've got to escape" Mc grath said as they knew they had to escaped "Don't go out there! McGrath, don't listen, for God's sake. The siren is a-calling" "Same as all the others. No sign of a struggle, no bones or blood" avery said as they look around seeing nothing "We're shark bait, every single one of us. Stuck on the ocean, waiting""Until the wind changes.What's that" he said as they hear a bang" It's the creature. It's returned""Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that" Andrew said as it goes into the theam tune.







The tardis fly through the vortex and it introduces the cast of the show. And the title and then we arrive back on the ship "We made no signal""Our sensors picked you up. Ship in distress" raven said smiling as they where in the cabin "Sensors" "Yes. Okay, problem word. Seventeenth century. His ship automatically, er, noticed-ish that your ship was having some bother"clone Rebecca wonder what to say to them"That big blue crate" "That is more magic, Captain Avery. They're spirits. How else would they have found their way below decks" boatswain said as he wonder how they got on their boat "Well, er, I want to say multidimensional engineering, but since you had a problem with sensors, I won't go there. Look, I'm the Doctor. This is my wife rose and my friend Amy, Rory, raven, Rebecca and Beth We're sailors, same as you. Ooo ar. Except for the gun thing. And the beardiness""You're stowaways. Only explanation. Eight days, we've been stranded here, becalmed. You must have stowed away before we sailed"avery said pointing a gun at them" Now what do we do with 'em""Oh, I think they deserve our hospitality" he said as they took Andrew to the plank "I suppose that laughing like that is in the job description. Can you do the laugh? Check. Grab yourself a parrot. Welcome aboard""Stocks are low. Only one barrel of water remains. We don't need three more empty bellies to fill. Take the doxy below to the galley. Set her to work. She won't need much feeding"he said as they took amy away as raven, Beth and clone Rebecca shouted" hey take us not here "" yeah leave her alone "Beth said as amy was taken away"Rory? A little help" "Yeah. Hey, listen, right? She's not a doxy" Rory said helping as raven sighed "I don't think that helped" " I didn't mean just tell him off. Thanks anyway" amy said as she got into a room with a box of swords and a coat and hat "If you're lucky you'll drown before the sharks can take a bite"" If this is just because I'm a captain too, you know, you shouldn't feel threatened. Your ship is much bigger than mine. And I don't have the cool boots. Or a hat, even" Andrew said as he on the plank "Time to go""honey "rose said trying to get out of their grip" A bit more laughter, guys""Where are the rest of the crew? This is a big ship. Big for five of you. I suppose the rest of them are hiding some place, and they're going to jump out and shout boo"beth said as amy comes out" Boo!Throw the gun down The rest of you, on your knees""Amy, what are you doing" Andrew wonder "Saving your life. Okay with that, are you" "Put down the sword. A sword could kill us all, girl" avery said looking at her with the sword " Yeah , thanks. That is actually why I'm pointing it at you"""You have killed me" dancer said looking at her as she cut his hand "No way. It's just a cut"" What kind of rubbish pirates are you" clone Rebecca said shouting "One drop, that's all it takes. One drop of blood and she'll rise out of the ocean""Come on, I barely even scratched him. What are you all in such a huff about "Amy said as she saw another pirate come towards her so she swings. But the sword goes and Rory cut his hand" Ow! Argh Er, Doctor, what's happening to me "" She can smell the blood on your skin. She's marked you for death."avery said as Rory looked at his hand seeing a spot"She" ""A demon, out there in the ocean" he explained who she was "Okay. Groovy. So not just pirates today. We've managed to bagsy a ship where there's a demon popping in. Very efficient. I mean, if something's going to kill you, it's nice that it drops you a note to remind you""i don't think that's good hon "rose said frowning" Quickly now, block out the sound""What" raven wonder " the creature. She charms all her victims with that song""Oh, great. So put my fingers in my ears, that's your plan? Doctor, come on. Let's go. Let's get back to the er, back to the er" Rory said as he started to feel strange "The music. It's working on him. Look""You are so beautiful" Rory said going to amy "What" "I love your get up. That's great. You should dress as a pirate more often. Hey, hey, cuddle me, shipmate" he said wanting a hug " Rory, stop" "Everything is totally brilliant, isn't it? Look at these brilliant pirates. Look at their brilliant beards. I'd like a beard. I'm going to grow a beard" he said looking at them still acting strange "You're not""what going on " Beth wonder watching""The music turns them into fools""Oh, my God" raven said as they see a woman coming on the ship singing as dancer touched her hand as he turned to dusk "I have to touch her. Let me touch her""Sorry, but he is spoken for."amy said but then she was knocked out" Amy! Everybody into the hold. Rory! Come on""Hey! Wait "Rory said as he wanted to touched her hand" What is that thing""The legend. The siren. Many a merchant ship laden with treasure has fallen prey to her. She's been hunting us ever since we were becalmed, picking off the injured" avery said explain who she was "Like a shark. A shark can smell blood""Okay. Just like a shark, in a dress. And singing. And green? A green singing shark in an evening gown" clone Rebecca said as Andrew smiled "The ship is cursed" "Yeah, right. Cursed is big with humans. It means bad things are happening but you can't be bothered to find an explanation" rose said sighing "She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen"" Actually, I think you'll find she isn't"amy said hugging Rory "She is""We have to leave right now" Beth said looking at Andrew "The thing of yours really is a ship" "Well, it's not propelled by the wind" andrew said frowning "Show me. Weigh anchor. Make it sail""And the gun's back. You're big on the gun thing, aren't you. Freud would say you're compensating. Ever met Freud? No? Comfy sofa" he said frowning as he saw the gun "Leave the cursed one, Captain. The creature can have him""Yes, please" Rory said still in a trance "We don't want the siren coming after us" "It's a leech" clone Rebecca said as they see leeches "Everyone out of the water" "now" rose said as they got out " I been bitten me. I'm bleeding""She wants blood. Why does she want blood"beth wonder as they look around "What were you saying about leaving the cursed ones behind" "It's okay, we're safe down here. No curse is getting through three solid inches of timber. Oh! Ah. Hello again" andrew said as they see the siren "No! No! No" "Safe" amy wonder "I have my good days and my bad days""How did she get in" raven wonder she got in "Bilge water. She's using water like a portal, a door. She can materialise through a single drop. We need to go somewhere with no water"" Well, thank God we're not in the middle of the ocean" amy said frowning "Did you see her eyes? Like crystal pools"" You are in enough trouble" she said hugging him "The magazine""What" amy wonder " He means the armoury where the powder's stored""It's dry as a bone" avery said as Andrew knew they had to go "Good. Let's go there"" I give the orders" he said pointing a gun at him "Ah. Worried because I'm wearing a hat now? Nobody touch anything sharp" "hon I need to talk to you " rose wonder touching his cheek "OK we talk later " ""Come on, Rory" amy said as they walk off"Quickly, man""I can't find the key. Tis gone, Cap'n." boatswain said looking at the keys "How can it have gone" "Someone else had the same idea" clone Rebecca said frowning"Barricade the door. Careful of that lantern. Every barrel is full of powder""Who's been sleeping in my gun room" Andrew said wearing a hat "You fool! You fool, boy. What are you doing here" "Who is he? What, he's not one of the crew" Beth wonder looking at him"No. He's my son. What in God's name possessed you, boy? Your mother will be searching for you. When"" Last winter. Fever. She told me all about you. How you were a Captain in the Navy. An honourable man, she said. How I'd be proud to know you. I've come to join your crew" Toby asked wondering if he could join " I don't want you here""You can't send me back. It's too late. We're a hundred miles from home" he said not wanting to go back "It's dangerous here. There is a monster aboard. She leaves a mark on men's skin"" The black spot" he said as he shown them the spot on his hand "There's nothing wrong with the boy. He has no scars""Yep. Ignore my last theory" Andrew said frowning" He has his good days and his bad days""It's not just blood, she's coming for all the sick and wounded, like a hunter chooses the weakest animal" rose said realising what he going to say " Okay, look, he's got a fever. The siren knows it.""Humans. Second-rate. Damage too easily. It's only a matter of time before everyone gets bruised. My ship, it can sail us all away from here. You and me, we fetch it. Let's go" Andrew said as he point the gun at him "You're not the Captain here, remember.The water's dangerous. That's how she gets through. One touch of her hand and you're a dead man""We're all cursed if we stay aboard" boatswain as he looked at him knowing they could not stay here "It's not a curse. Curse means game over. Curse means we're helpless. We are not helpless. Captain, what's our next move" "Wait with the boy" avery said as they going to stay with the boy "Captain, we're all in danger here""i said wait. And barricade the door after we've gone" he said wanting him to stay "Sure you want to go" "" so you want me to come with you hon "amy said looking at him" We have to get Rory and Toby away. She's out there now, licking her lips, boiling a saucepan, grating cheese and I be fine hon you stay here ""Okay. Well, remember, if you get an itch, don't scratch too hard" clone Rebecca said smiling at him "We've all got to go some time. There are worse ways than having your face snogged off by a dodgy mermaid" "Do you want to draw lots for who's in charge, then" avery wonder as Andrew frowned"Darkness? Demon? You can have first go""Nearly. Phew! By all the" avery said as he looked around "Let me stop you there. Bigger on the inside. Don't mind, do you, if we just skip to the end of that moment? Oh, and sorry I lied, by the way, when I said yours was bigger. Kitchen that way. Choice of bathrooms there, there, there" "What's wrong" Rory wonder "The most beautiful thing you've ever seen" "Oh, tell me I didn't really say that"Rory said sadly"What's going on" "hey don't go" Beth said frowning at them going near the door "We're not staying here to mollycoddle the boy. The Captain's gone soft. It's time for us to leave" "What's this do" avery wonder looking around the tardis "That does very, very complicated. That does sophisticated. That does whoa, amazing, And that does whizz, bang, far too technical to explain" "Wheel" he said looking at it " Atom accelerator""it steers the thing" he said looking at it "No. Sort of. Yes""Wheel. Telescope. Astrolabe. Compass. A ship's a ship" he looking round the ship as andrew frowned " Oh" "He told you to wait, you dog. He's your Captain, a Naval Officer. You're honour-bound to do as he tells you" Toby said looking at them going "Honour-bound? Do you know what kind of ship this is? Do you know what your father does" "Don't listen to him, Toby" raven said hugging him"We sail under the black flag. The Jolly Roger "" Liar! He's no wicked pirate" Toby said going to hit him "Oh, you think so? I have seen your father gun down a thousand innocent men" "This is how the professionals do it. Er, it's stuck. Not responding" andrew said as the tardis makes a noise "Becalmed" "Mmm hmm. Yeah, apparently. That's new. You had to gloat, didn't you" he said frowning at him "i'm not gloating""I saw that look just now. Ha, ha, his ship is rubbish" andrew said trying to make the tardis work "True" "Get what treasure you can. I'll meet you in the row boat" boatswain said ready to go out the door " You're going to remain at your post" "I am not playing games with you, boy. You put that down"he said looking at Toby" One more step and I'll use this, you blaggard""You don't know how to fight with a cutlass, boy" he said looking at it "Don't need to, do I." "no" he said as Toby cut his hand "It can't get a lock on the plane""The what" avery wonder "The space we travel in. The ocean. Sort of ocean but not water. The Tardis can't see. It's sulking because it thinks the space doesn't exist. Without a plane to lock onto we're not going anywhere"" I'm confused" he frowned wondering what going on "Yeah, well, it's a big club. We should get T-shirts. What's happening" andrew wonder what going on "you little swabber" "Congratulations. You made it to the menu. Probably shouldn't go out there now" clone Rebecca said looking at him "You scurvy ape" "Don't shoot. The powder will blow and kill us all" Rory said as he saw the gun "Mulligan, what are you doing" "No honour among pirates" raven said frowning shaking his head "Okay, she's had her little sulk. Now she's heading for the full-on screaming tantrum""Can you fix it" avery wonder "Argh! The parametric engines are jammed. Orthogonal vector's gone. I'm almost out of ideas""Almost"he said looking at him "Well, we could try stroking her and singing her a song""Will that help" he wonder if that will work "Hard to say Never has before. I've lost control of her. She's about to dematerialise. We could end up anywhere" "That sounds bad" he said as they hear a noise "Yes, it is! Out! Out now Abandon ship! Abandon ship! Okay, okay, okay. Tardis runs off on its own. That's a bit of a new one. Bang goes our only hope of getting them out of here""Not much of a Captain without a ship, are you" avery said looking at him.
