She’ll be the second human since the Doctor arrived on Stacy to see what the new Zero Room looks like.
The Doctor steps in after her, still trying to wring water out of his clothes and looking around like the Time Lord version of a second-rate cyclops. The Zero Room looks untouched, probably one of the few places in the TARDIS capable of completely resisting the corruption that intruder has sent spreading like wild fire all over her poor insides. Bubbles rise up from the floor, billowing about the room in a non-existent breeze, several of them settling against the Doctor's hair.
"At any rate, I'd say we're entirely safe here. So long as we stay in this room," the Doctor says. He'd spent his time in the Zero Room way back when he was a younger man - the cricket version, he seems to recall. It'd looked completely different then, mind you. There's just something inherently calming about it still and he really, truly does like those bubbles. "Maybe I can come up with a backdoor to the engine room. Fold space and pull it from the old billard room. It might save us a few days."
The Doctor thinks Eva might appreciate those few days. She's strong, but she's also only human, and so far they haven't found much in the way of food or drinkable water for her species. It hasn't escaped his notice that conveniently all the food machines dotted around the TARDIS are missing, even the one with the setting stuck on lemon curd and toast.
