When fully charged , it could perform more advanced actions , such as altering timelines . ( TV : " The Mad Woman in the Attic " ) Biography . During a great war Eve ' s people and planet were " exterminated " because they could read and manipulate the timeline s . Eve ' s parents designed and built Ship and sent it far across the star s with Eve on board , with instructions to protect her and teach her to use and control her powers when she was old enough . " Ship " travelled for a long time before it crashed on Earth , burying itself under a ton of sand and causing massive damage to its systems , leaving it severely weakened . " Ship " could not care for Eve until her systems rebooted , which would take about twenty years . The immense power Eve had meant that until she was old enough and instructed properly on how to control her powers , she would be a danger to herself and those around her . Eve was found by Harry Sowersby , the caretaker of the local fun fair . After " Ship " told him the situation , he gladly helped raise Eve on the fun fair ' s grounds . There she would be safe and able to practice her powers by manipulating the fairground rides at night . Eve was increasingly lonely and began to control homeless people who wandered into the park at night . When Samuel Lloyd came to the park , " Ship " read his mind . Since he had talked to Rani Chandra , " Ship " learned of Sarah Jane Smith and her friends , and believed they could help . " Ship " had Samuel contact Rani . She found Eve living in the abandoned mine ride . After realising Eve was no threat , but rather an alien refugee , Rani decided to take Eve outside . She believed it was unfair for her to be locked up . " Ship " tried to frighten Rani and Sarah Jane ( who had arrived at the Fairground ) by showing Rani her future and reading Sarah Jane ' s mind . A determined Rani took Eve outside despite Sarah Jane warning her that she didn ' t know the full story . Eve , who had never been outside , was overwhelmed by all the new sensations and began to use her abilities more , putting Rani under her control when she declared that because of what Eve was doing , they weren ' t friends any more . Believing the face in the mirror ( " Ship " ) knew what was going on , Sarah Jane and Clyde returned to the staff room where Sarah Jane talked with " Ship " . Finding that Eve was outside , " Ship " told them that Eve must be returned . Her powers were too great for her to control at her age , and if she did not stop , they would destroy her . Eve ' s powers began to harm her body . Only " Ship " had the power to stop her so Sam , Clyde and Sarah Jane took her back to the beach where " Ship " freed itself from deep beneath the sand . " Ship " told Eve to place her hands on the core and drained off Eve ' s excess energy , saving her life . " Ship " told Sarah Jane she needed a black hole to refuel . With K9 ' s help , the artificial black hole he had been monitoring was transferred to power the engines . With " Ship " repaired , Eve , Harry and Samuel went off to explore the universe , and K9 was finally able to return home to 13 Bannerman Road . ( TV : " The Mad Woman in the Attic " )
