The Doctor sighed. This day was problematic. If this kindly Timelord hadn't shown up, he would've been stranded entirely. The brown haired woman was bouncing around happily, ushering the Welsh woman out the door. He had a strong feeling she wouldn't like what she saw.
He bounded out the door himself, and his jaw literally dropped two inches lower at what he saw. It was a great windy cavern, the air rushing past his eyes and whistling the sound of the skeletons that littered the ground. Seemingly from nowhere, he produced a white rose and let the wind carry it away. It crumpled and blackened, as if burned to a crisp.
"Anti-matter artificial magnetic field." he explained, "Please, please don't step out. I simply cannot stand fried woman in the morning."
"The magnetic field has anti-matter bacterial structures in it. They will fry you until you are nothing more than a skeleton, and even that will begin to decompose."
The Doctor reached for his recorder, and extended it into the magnetic field. It seemed unaffected, hardly even shaking as the wind hit the tip of it. "Interesting... Only living organisms react to the field."
He turned to the posse gathered in the Tardis. "This is like a game of chess. Each and every one of you is a king, you are precious, do not be forced into a check mate. Only what is in the wind is affected, so we must block out the wind. But how to do this without getting eaten alive?"
"Lets find out."

Gwen stood at the doorway, looking out at the cavern. "Well, if it only affects animals we could wear really big polyester coats." She looked around at Sarah Jane and the two insane men, but they didn't seem amused.
She scrunched up the bridge of her nose in concentration. "So wait a minute; if this is what's causing the vortex, and it's sucking up alien objects to earth, then it wants all of the artifacts but none of the aliens." She thought for another second. "Who would want to collect a bunch of weapons and trinkets, but not the aliens with it. Weird..."

Gwen went striding right over and nearly stuck her head out the door in rampant, fearless curiosity. Now Sarah used that grip on her arm to pull her back into the TARDIS, having gotten a hair raising view herself off the corridors ridden with grisly debris and a whirling vortex that truly blew her mind. Hypnotic aching patches of nothing. It was not black. It was not emptiness. It was just an indescribable nothing that twisted and churned with strange oily sheened darkness both razor thin and endless.
She yanked Gwen back in, shooting her a look like, 'what the hell', keeping a good grip on her until the raven Doctor gathered them in. In only a few words, she knew for certain this was her Doctor. Or would be. It was a grand pep talk, and as was her want, she piped up immediately when invited.
"Some of it looks so thin, it looks like you could just jump through if it wasn't swirling so fast. Maybe you could just slow it down instead of stopping it all the way."

"Well there are quite a few people that would want a bunch of alien artifacts." The fourth Doctor explained to Gwen. "And the reason why they might not want the aliens is because for one, less hostile aliens to deal with, and maybe two, without the aliens you wouldn't have to share."
He frowned slightly as he tried to figure this out. It was confusing, intriguing and exciting all at once. Then he heard Sarah Jane.
"Some of it looks so thin, it looks like you could just jump through if it wasn't swirling so fast. Maybe you could just slow it down instead of stopping it all the way."
"Brilliant!" The Doctor exclaimed with a large grin. "Well if we manage to slow down the field itself then we could possibly jump through unharmed!"
Then realizing something he added, grimly. "Unfortunately, I'm not sure how long we could keep it that way. Or if it would even work."

"I appreciate your humor, dear, but now is not the time. Now is the time to be thinking." he reminded her.
She scrunched up the bridge of her nose in concentration. "So wait a minute; if this is what's causing the vortex, and it's sucking up alien objects to earth, then it wants all of the artifacts but none of the aliens." She thought for another second. "Who would want to collect a bunch of weapons and trinkets, but not the aliens with it. Weird..."
"When a spider catches a fly, what is the first that it does? It renders it harmless by tying it up in the web." he commented.
"Some of it looks so thin, it looks like you could just jump through if it wasn't swirling so fast. Maybe you could just slow it down instead of stopping it all the way."

"Now, that sonic modulator could help. If we altered the stream of energy's electric course... It could give us an opening."

It took an elbow or two at Gwen to get her to shush, but she'd learned not to interrupt the Doctor when he was thinking. Mostly. Sometimes he said things she just had to argue with, but now he was making sense. She looked to her own, familiar, curly haired Doctor. He would tell her to stay behind, 'safe' in the TARDIS.
Sarah Jane was keeping her ears and eyes ready for that moment, ready to grab Gwen on the bounce when it was time to follow before he could stop her. Perhaps she would even jump through first if they managed to make a way though the swirling vortex.
