Summary: "The old girl can take care of herself."

I'd always believed the Cyclopes to be mythological, until I crouched behind a boulder, watching a Cyclops bashing away at the TARDIS.

"Uhm, Doctor," I murmured, hoping that it wouldn't hear me, "shouldn't we do something about this?"

"Don't worry," he assured me with a mild grin. "The old girl can take care of herself."

My first instinct was to ask him what he meant--but I was immediately distracted as the TARDIS dematerialized, much to the Cyclops' confusion--and rematerialized around us.

"You see," the Doctor grinned in satisfaction. "She knows a trick or two, my silly old box."
