The Pandorica Opens (TV story): Difference between revisions

The coordinates lead them to [[Roman]] [[Britain]] in the [[2nd century]], where Amy notes that Roman history was her favourite topic at school. They are greeted by a Roman soldier with a lipstick smear across his mouth; he thinks the Doctor is [[Caesar]]. He takes them to meet "Cleopatra", who is actually River in disguise. He scolds River for her graffiti, only for her to retort that he doesn't answer his phone. She shows them Vincent's painting; they are shocked to see it's a painting of the TARDIS exploding. As the Doctor has already retrieved a TARDIS fragment from a [[Time Field]] in a [[Silurian city]], this new find worries him. He asks if it has a title; River informs him it's "[[The Pandorica Opens]]", and that Vincent left coordinates in the painting to lead him there. Amy wonders what it is; River explains that the Pandorica is a prison designed to contain ''the'' most feared thing in all the universe. The Doctor then begins looking at maps, despite River's protest that it won't be on one; however, the Doctor says that if someone buried the most feared thing of all, they'd want to remember where.

By nightfall, River has placed devices that move a stone on the ground away from a secret entrance. The three of them descend, not noticing a Cyber-head, which begins to reactivate.
