The message Martha received was clear.
“Gandalf”, the Master had mockingly called the wizened husk he hovered over, but Martha saw the mad obsession in his eyes as he said it. “There is no hope,” his words said while his every movement and gesture screamed “There is always hope and there is always love but hope and love get twisted into despair and hate and this, Martha Jones, is what's left to you.”
And the Doctor, who needed only three words to tell her how to save the world, never gave her any sign that the Master's message wasn't true.
