* In the pages of [[River Song's diary]] the player collects, there is an entry entitled "An Unearthly Mess", which apparently occurs before the events of [[DW]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child]]''. In it, River recalls the [[First Doctor]] catching her snooping around [[I.M. Foreman]]'s junk yard; when she heard [[Susan Campbell|a young woman]] calling for her grandfather, she took off. Her comment was "That's a conversation I'm not yet ready for!"

Instead of a threat, he's warning River that they need to get away.
