The Doctor stepped in between Robin and the Silent as it turned its head towards her. It stared at her, almost curiously before tilting its head to one side, as if to fully admire the girl. The Doctor watched its every move, he knew that the creature could easily point one of its long fingers at either one of the and hit them with a blast of electricity, drawn from the environment around them.<br/><br/>Why it wasn't already doing that the Doctor had no idea, but the mystery only grew deeper when the creature answered Robin's question.<br/><br/><em>"No, you are not just a human,"</em>it spoke, its strained voice echoing through the room. Slowly, it brought its arms from out behind its back. The Doctor reacted by reaching into his pocket for a weapon to defend them with, but before he could act the creature did something that the Doctor would never have expected from it.<br/><br/>The Silent, slowly and politely, bowed to Robin.<br/><br/>The Doctor stared at the alien, completely confused by the strange display of manners. He opened his mouth to ask the creature if it was planning on killing them in a dance, but before the words left his mouth the creature straightened up and pointed a long white finger at the TARDIS controls.<br/><br/>A bolt of lightning leaped from the end of its finger and struck the controls. The TARDIS lurched to one side, flinging them across the ground as the control panel sparked and fizzed from its circuits being struck by the creatures attack.<br/><br/>"ROBIN! HOLD ON!" The Doctor called out, grabbing onto one of the metal pipes that sprouted from the floor of the TARDIS and hanging onto it for dear life whilst one hand grabbed his companion across the waist to keep her steady. "What happened?! Why is the ship going mental?!"
