From outside, 79B was somewhat like an inverted, curved [[pyramid]], with four legs/landing struts. It had a [[perception filter]] to blend in with its surroundings and convince anyone who looked upon it that it had always been there. When it took on the appearance of the non-existent upper floor of 79B Aickman Road, even [[Craig Owens]], who lived in the house, accepted the reality of a second storey. The [[Eleventh Doctor]], after first seeing the ship, called it "someone's attempt to build a [[TARDIS]]". | From outside, 79B was somewhat like an inverted, curved [[pyramid]], with four legs/landing struts.

The ship had a [[hologram|holographic]] autopilot which activated when damaged. The autopilot searched for people to power the ship, using the building's intercom to communicate with people outside and changing its appearance to lure them in. All of the holograms seemed to lure the victims by saying that they needed help.
