I've gone as far out as I can get without crossing into the dead zone, which is a fair distance. Once or twice a week. There isn't much out there. I assume you know about the Tower, and the headstones?

[thosethatrun]

Dead zone?

I don't know much, actually, which is why I asked.

[clarklike]

Past a certain point, powers stop working. I wouldn't advise going past that point with the TARDIS, as you may end up having to lug it back over the line... if you can get there in the first place.

[thosethatrun]

... I'll make a note of that.

[ Because he's fairly certain he couldn't drag the TARDIS around. At all. ]

[clarklike]

Good.

Funny thing, too. From the air, it's hard to even see past the line of the dead zone.

[thosethatrun]

That's... disconcerting, to say the least.

[clarklike]

It's magic. I know you don't believe in it, but I can tell.

[thosethatrun]

[ He's still skeptical. ]

How can you tell?

Doctor

[clarklike]

Magic trumps my abilities.

Clark

[thosethatrun]

How do you know it's magic as opposed to technolo--... right. Barrier.

[ And he makes a thoughtful noise. What is it with this place and tearing down his beliefs. First the atheism and now magic... ]

The only other explanation I've got is some sort of chemical in the atmosphere, but even wouldn't explain the fact that it's more or less a solid wall.

Clark

[thosethatrun]

Energy field might, depending on what sort of energy it is.

Doctor

[clarklike]

Hmm. I've never had a problem with energy fields before, but there's always something new.

Clark

[thosethatrun]

With this place, I wouldn't be surprised if it was something new.
