"It's a spaceship. Brilliant! I got a spaceship on my first go." Mickey said excitedly
"congratulations" Morgana drawled as she looked around at the messy ship there were lots of bits and pieces of equipment scattered around.
"It looks kind of abandoned. Anyone onboard?" Rose asked
The Doctor shook his head "Nah, nothing here. Well, nothing dangerous." Morgana gave him a look "Well, not that dangerous." She rose an eyebrow and he looked sheepish "You know what, I'll just have a quick scan, in case there's anything dangerous." He shuffled off
"So, what's the date? How far we gone?" Rose questioned
"About three thousand years into your future, give or take." The Doctor explained as he found the light switch on a console, part of the ceiling showing the stars, Morgana smiled up at the pretty view
"Fifty-first century. Diagmar Cluster, you're a long way from home, Mickey. Two and a half galaxies." The Doctor said
"Mickey Smith meet the universe. See anything you like?" Rose propped her chin on his shoulder and smiled
"It's so realistic!" Mickey exclaimed
Morgana moved over to The Doctor looking over his shoulder as he looked at the computer screen "Dear me, had some cowboys in here. Got a ton of repair work going on. Now that's odd. Look at that. All the warp engines are going. Full capacity. There's enough power running through this ship to punch a hole in the universe, but we're not moving. So where's all that power going?" he asked
"Where'd all the crew go?" Rose asked
The Doctor hummed pressing some buttons "Good question. No life readings on board."
"Well, we're in deep space. They didn't just nip out for a quick fag." Rose joked and Morgana snorted
The Doctor shook his head "No, I've checked all the smoking pods. Can you smell that?"
"yes," Morgana said quietly having smelt the scent of burning flesh before
"Yeah, someone's cooking." Rose didn't realise how on the nose she was
"Sunday roast, definitely." Mickey determined
"No, it really isn't" Morgana disagreed as the Doctor used the console to open a door behind them
Morgana glanced over and spotted that the far wall is panelled, and contains a blazing fire in an ornate fireplace, with an ormolu clock on the mantlepiece that was intricately carved probably custom made.
"what's that?" she asked
The Doctor brightened "Well, there's something you don't see in your average spaceship. Eighteenth-century. French. Nice mantle. Not a hologram. It's not even a reproduction. This actually is an eighteenth-century French fireplace. Double-sided. There's another room through there."
Morgana perked in interest and followed him over to the fireplace as Rose looked out of a porthole into space
"There can't be. That's the outer hull of the ship. Look." Rose said
"Hello." The Doctor greeted
"Hello little one" Morgana smiled at the young girl who was dressed in a high-quality nightgown, she knelt in front of the fireplace on the other side
"Hello." She greeted Morgana recognising it as French causing an odd dissonance for her.
"What's your name?" The Doctor asked
