The TARDIS materialises, and the Doctor, Rose and {Y/N} step out looking around.

"So, it's two hundred thousand, and it's a spaceship. No, wait a minute, space station, and er, go and try that gate over there. Off you go" the Doctor says.

"Two hundred thousand?" Rose asks.

"Two hundred thousand."

"Right" Rose turns back to the TARDIS and re-opens the doors "Adam? Out you come" he comes out and his jaw drops.

"Oh, my God."

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it" Rose replies.

"Where are we?"

"Good question. Let's see. So, er, judging by the architecture, I'd say we're around the year two hundred thousand. If you listen"

"Yeah."

"Engines. We're on some sort of space station. Yeah, definitely a space station. It's a bit warm in here. They could turn the heating down. Tell you what - let's try that gate. Come on!" she grabs Adam's hand and drags him to the metal gate, the Doctor and {Y/N} follow laughing "here we go! And this is... this is, uhh...I'll let one of them describe it."

"The Fourth great and bountiful Human Empire. And there it is, planet Earth at its height. Covered with mega-cities, five moons, population ninety six billion. The hub of a galactic domain stretching across a million planets, a million species, with mankind right in the middle" {Y/N} explains, Adam faints and they all stare at him.

"He's your boyfriend" the Doctor says pointing towards Rose, she snorts and shakes her head.

"Not anymore" once Adam wakes up they all continue further into the space station.

"Come on, Adam. Open your mind. You're going to like this. Fantastic period of history. The human race at its most intelligent. Culture, art, politics. This era has got fine food, good manners" {Y/N} says using her hand to gesture.

"Out of the way!" a man runs past them frantically, suddenly there are a lot of people bustling around, opening up food vending stations and serving customers at their counters.

"Thank you very much indeed. Somebody there? That's great. What do you want, love? All right, keep moving. I'll be with you lot in a minute. Here you are. One at a time. What now, what was it? Kronkburger with cheese, Kronkburger with pajatos. Do you want a drink? Oi, you, mate. Stop pushing. Get back. I said, back."

"Fine cuisine?" Rose asks with a small smirk.

"My watch must be wrong. No, it's fine. It's weird" {Y/N} holds up her wrist where she had a watch that was definitely alien.

"That's what comes of showing off. Your history's not as good as you thought it was" {Y/N} frowns and looks down at Rose.

"My history's perfect."

"Well, obviously not."

"They're all human. What about the millions of planets, the millions of species? Where are they?" Adam asks.

"Good question. Actually, that is a good question. Adam, me old mate, you must be starving" the Doctor says.

"No, I'm just a bit time sick."

"No, you just need a bit of grub. Oi, mate - how much is a Kronkburger?" they all walk up to the chef who was selling Kronkburgers.

"Two credits twenty, sweetheart. Now join the queue" the chef says.

"Money. We need money. Let's use a cashpoint" the Doctor drags them all over to a cashpoint.

"Attention all staff. All coverage of the Glasgow water riots being transferred five through nine" the Doctor goes to a Credit Five cashpoint and does something clever with his sonic screwdriver. It produces a plastic card which the Doctor hands to Adam, {Y/N} looks at the Doctor who just smiled.
