They discover the Pandorica, much to the Doctor's disbelief, as he thought it was simply a fairy tale. He goes on to reexplain that the most feared being in all creation, a trickster soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies, who could not be reasoned with, was locked in the Pandorica. Amy wonders how; the Doctor says that like most fairy tales, a good wizard tricked it. River expresses her hatred for good wizards in fairy tales as she feels they always turn out to be the Doctor. Amy notes that the name is similar to Pandora's box, her favourite childhood story, and the Doctor quickly notes the link between the Pandorica and the Romans... both of them have been claimed by Amy to be her favourites. He tells her that one should never ignore a coincidence, "unless you're busy; in which case, always ignore a coincidence". | They discover the Pandorica, much to the Doctor's disbelief, as he thought it was simply a fairy tale.

[[River Song's scanner|Scanning]] the Pandorica and the surrounding area, River finds its security failsafes are turning on and the box is opening. Amy then wonders how Vincent could know about it, prompting the Doctor to scan the pillars of the room; the pillars are acting like big transmitters, sending a warning across time and space that the Pandorica is opening. Poor Vincent heard the message in his dreams. River then makes the Doctor realise that ''anyone'' who can hear the message might be showing up; they quickly reverse the signal to scan for any time-active species, learning, much to their horror, that there are at least ten thousand ships in Earth's orbit. Every one belongs to the Doctor's enemies: [[Cybermen]], [[Dalek]]s, [[Sontaran]]s, [[Slitheen]], [[Draconian]]s, and many more. | [[River Song's scanner|Scanning]] the Pandorica and the surrounding area, River finds its security failsafes are turning on and the box is opening.
