[She shakes her head.]

No, nothing.

[And then she felt a strange chill overcome her body, engulfing it and she looked up at Clara with wide eyes for a moment before slamming the box to the ground.]

I... What was that!?

[Her breathing was coming in pants and she stared at the box on the ground, now glowing slightly.]

[streamed]

[Clara moves closer, putting an arm around her and trying to navigate her back from the box.]

You all right? What happened?

[investigatetime]

I don't know! I just suddenly became very cold without an explanation! Did I change? Go anywhere?

[She squats down to the box, looking it over and then back to Clara.]

Suppose I try again...

[And she places her hands on different ruins this time and waits to see what happens.]

[streamed]

No, you were still here.

[Nervous, she fiddles with her necklace as Sarah Jane tries again. She's a pretty logical thinker, so she voices her worries aloud.]

Won't it just do the opposite and burn you instead?

[investigatetime]

I don't...

[And she jumps slightly.]

It shocked me! It actually...

[And then the volts of electricity became stronger and once again she dropped it and wrinkled her nose.]

I don't like that at all!

[streamed]

Okay. Let's just step away from the nasty shocky freeze ball thing before it does something worse.

[Nasty shocky freeze ball? God, she's taking after the Doctor.]

Are there some sort of authorities we can call to come pick this thing up? And what's more, do you need your hand looked at?

[investigatetime]

[Sarah steps over to Clara, showing her her hands. They glowed a faint light for a moment before turning back to normal.]

Have you ever seen such a thing before? I don't feel any different, though.

[She pauses for a moment.]

Do you think the Doctor would know what to do with it? It seems like something he'd love to tinker with.

[streamed]

[Clara's seen so many things, and the light does remind her of the regeneration glow the Doctor gets, but obviously this isn't the same.]

It might be a security system to keep people out. And there's a good chance he would. Do you know how to find him?

[investigatetime]

I think I know where he typically haunts. Let's go!

[Sarah takes off down the hall, hoping Clara will follow. She weaves in and out of a few people walking about until she slid in front of a door.]

Doctor! [She bangs on the door.] Doctor, open this door!

[She finally tries the handle herself, opening the door with no one in the laboratory.]

[streamed]

[Oh, she's a runner, she is. Clara follows at a decent pace, slipping around people until she enters the lab on Sarah's heels.]

It sure looks like a Doctor-y place. Well, there should be more scorch marks and the smell of smoke, knowing him.

[investigatetime]

[That made Sarah Jane laugh, as she looks over to Clara.]

Tell me, is he still as stubborn when he's with you? Still getting into trouble?

[streamed]

Big time! But the stubbornness can be good, since he never gives up. He's like a really old kid who needs to be nannied sometimes.

[Good thing she has the practice then, huh?]
