===== Description =====
{{ :factionpbta:shrine.jpg?nolink&400|Shrine with the 8th Doctor}}
>//... it wasn’t a room. It was a shrine ... A great domed area, like the inside of a cathedral, with black girders forming black arches across a black ceiling. The decor was appalling, no other word for it. The walls were inset with circular indentations, dozens and dozens of them, roundels covering every available surface. Set into each of the circles was a skull.  Frozen into the walls with their jaws locked open. The way the shrine was designed, they looked almost like organic elements, like they’d grown out of the architecture. The floor was paved with metal slabs, the colour of decay, each one covered in swirls of dirt and lines of rust... In the centre of the dome was a dais, a section of flooring raised a couple of centimetres above the rest of the room. A perfect circle, about a metre from side to side. The lines and scratches were more intense there. Several layers of the rust-substance coated the dais, each set of squiggles covering up the last. //
>//.... There, planted between the gaping roundels, was a vertical strip that looked a lot like a neon tube. There were a lot of them around the shrine, filling the air with a queasy blue-tinted light. //
>// ... The Faction’s ship was a lot like the TARDIS, but more “open plan”. The TARDIS was designed as a vehicle, with all the rooms and corridors stuffed into one handy little box; but the shrine was more like a set of rooms, capable of sliding into other people’s architecture as it saw fit, a location rather than an object. The passage ahead was lined with blue lighting strips and dark ionic columns, the floor coated with muddy scratches and swirls ... The darker lines looked like dried blood, but if it was real human bean-juice, a hell of a lot had been spilled here. Maybe the ship ran on the stuff, like in the stories the Doctor had told her about the Great Vampires. Maybe the skulls were the remains of the people the shrine had consumed. // - Alien Bodies
