"If it's in another language, the TARDIS should translate it," the Doctor snapped irritably. They had too much to do, and not enough time to sit around and discuss what might've been. Not really enough time to do what they were doing right now.
All the same, he pulled away from the clamp and raced to Jack's side. The words didn't need to translate in the Doctor's mind, not like every piece of English he'd read did. The swirls and loops made perfect sense to him.
"But that's impossible," the Doctor said. He shook his head. "It's Gallifreyan, a very simple number sequence. Hit that third button, sixth from the right."
He slammed the clamp back to the door. "Causality loops and the time referberation recortorators probably linked the avaliable minds to the machine, creating questions only you and I could answer because only you and I are outside of the time center."

That had to be it. That could be the only reason.
