Ship was a spaceship designed by Eve's people with instructions to protect Eve and teach her to control her powers properly.

Technology

Ship was an irregular ovoid shape, with an indentation on the back for engines. It was powered by the energy from black holes.

The Ship had an AI, which was shown as a red humanoid face and known as the "Red Demon". It was able to project itself onto mirrors and read the minds of those iy viewed. When fully charged, it could do more advanced actions, such as alter timelines. (SJA: The Mad Woman in the Attic)

Biography

During a great war (most likely the Last Great Time War) Eve's people and planet were 'exterminated' (a reference to the Daleks) due to their ability to read and (possibly) manipulate the timelines. Eve's parents designed and built Ship and sent it far across the stars with Eve on board and instructions to protect her and teach her to use and control her powers when she was old enough.

The pair travelled for a long time before it crashed on Earth, burying itself under a ton of sand and causing massive damage to its systems. The damage left Ship severely weakened, so she was unable to care for Eve until her systems rebooted, which would take approximately 20 Earth years. This became a problem because the immense power Eve possessed meant that until she was old enough and instructed properly on how to control her powers she would be a danger to herself and anyone around her. Fortunately, Eve was discovered by Harry Sowersby, the caretaker of the local fun fair. After being informed of the situation by Ship, he happily helped raise Eve in the confines of the fun fair, where she would be safe and able to practice controlling her powers by manipulating the fairground rides at night.

As the years went on Eve became increasingly lonely and began to control homeless people who wandered in to the park at night because she wanted friends. When Samuel Lloyd came to the park, Ship was able to read his mind. Since he had talked to Rani Chandra, the Ship learned of Sarah Jane Smith and her friends, and believed that they would be able to help. Ship got Samuel to contact Rani, who investigated and discovered Eve living in the abandoned mine ride. After talking with Eve and realizing she was no threat, but rather a form of alien refugee, Rani decided to take Eve outside, as she believed it was unfair for her to be locked up like this. Ship tried to frighten Rani and Sarah Jane (who had recently arrived at the Fairground) by showing Rani her future and reading Sarah Jane's mind. This failed and a determined Rani took Eve outside despite Sarah Jane warning her that she didn't know the full story.

This proved to be a mistake as Eve (who had never been outside before) was overwhelmed by all the new sensations she was experiencing for the first time and began to use her abilities at a stronger level than she had before; even putting Rani under her control when she declared that because of what Eve was doing they weren't friends any more. Believing the face in the mirror (Ship) knew what was going on, Sarah Jane and Clyde returned to the staff room where Sarah Jane talked with Ship, asking what was going on. Realizing that Eve was outside, Ship told the pair that Eve must be returned inside as her powers were too great for her to control at her current age, and if she continued to do so they would destroy her.

Ship's words proved true, as Eve's powers began to harm her body with jolts of excess energy. Only Ship had the power to stop her so Sam, Clyde and Sarah Jane took her back to to the beach were Ship liberated itself from its hiding place deep beneath the sand. Glad to see Eve after so long, Ship instructed her to place her hands on the core were she drained off Eve's excess energy thereby saving her life. At this point, Ship informed Sarah Jane of the problem and how she needed the energy from a black hole to refuel. With the help of K-9, an artificial black hole was used to power the engines. With Ship repaired, Eve, Harry and Samuel went off to explore the universe. (SJA: The Mad Woman in the Attic)
