[The Doctor is frantically working around the control panel with his sonic while sparks continue to fly.]

Oh come on! We made a deal. You and me. You can not do this to me now. Not now.

[He looks over at the device and scans it over with his sonic.]

Well then. Hello out there! Nothing really to see here.

[Sparks continue to fly behind him along with some noises. He looks over his shoulder.]

Knock it off.

[He looks back at the device and runs a hand through his hair.]

Right. As I was saying, hello, I’m the Doctor. Just the Doctor by the way. And it seems I’m just passing through as luck would have it. Anyone out there getting this at all?

[His attention switches over to his sonic.]

Comments

[reallygreathair]

Complaining? I'm not the one that just walked in here and ruined everything!

May I remind you who's ship you are on?

[Snaps his fingers and the lights come on followed by a low hum.]

[seconddoctor_cia]

[Grinning impishly.]

You were saying?

[reallygreathair]

Out!

[Points towards the door in a rather angry motion.]

[seconddoctor_cia]

[His face falls.]

What? Well I was only trying to help. There's no need to act childish!

[reallygreathair]

Help? Ohhhh yes you have been of great help!

[Walks around the console.]

Destroyed my sonic. Caused a slight black out. I wonder what next, eh?

I had forgotten what it is like to run into my other selves. The last time it wasn't this complicated.

[seconddoctor_cia]

Slight black out? It was necessary to reboot the systems and incorporate the repairs I made. She'll still need a little time to recover from your "detour" or whatever you did to her! The dear old thing needs a holiday.

[reallygreathair]

[He borderlines on shouting now.]

I did not do anything to her! The void between universes did that. Ohh you are one to talk about holiday aren't you?

[seconddoctor_cia]

You know how dangerous travelling between the void can be! She wasn't really designed for that! You could have sapped the life out of her doing something so reckless!

[reallygreathair]

I had no choice! I had to drop some people back where they belonged!

[seconddoctor_cia]

The TARDIS isn't a taxi service for hopping dimensions!

[reallygreathair]

I don't have to explain myself to you of all people. Why am I even arguing?

[Runs a hand through his hair trying to retain some calm.]

[seconddoctor_cia]

Well, as I was saying, it'll take some time for her to fully recover from...well perhaps we shouldn't start that again should we?

[reallygreathair]

No, we should not.

Is yours any worse for wear?

[seconddoctor_cia]

She'd be better off if they weren't telling her where to go.

[reallygreathair]

Yes, welll, they were always a bit of a pain weren't they?

We could probably try and bypass that. Probably. Maybe. It's worth a shot.

[seconddoctor_cia]

[Shakes his head vehemently.]

Oh no, they would notice in an instant. Then I'd be in even more trouble. My freedom right now is at their discretion.

[reallygreathair]

Ohhh come on now, Doctor. Have a little bit of faith in yourself.

[seconddoctor_cia]

You think I haven't tried? The last time they locked all the controls, and then locked the door behind me! I had to send them a message and proof that I had completed my task.

[Sighs.]

You could say I'm on a sort of probation because of that attempt.

[reallygreathair]

But they don't know you're actually here do they?

[seconddoctor_cia]

No, but they would know something was wrong the moment I leave here.

[reallygreathair]

Why worry about that now though. Take this as a holiday.

[seconddoctor_cia]

Well, I just might. If what I'm hearing about this place is true, I could be here for a while and be back out there without it seeming as if I've been gone too long.

[Face gives a thoughtful expression.]

At least that's what I've been told.

[reallygreathair]

It's a good theory. I love theories. I've heard a few myself so far about this place.

That's the spirit though.

[seconddoctor_cia]

I also understand there's a lot of this City to explore. Perhaps you should do the same while you let the TARDIS recover.

[reallygreathair]

I might. Maybe. I mean I'm here after all for a bit. It might be worth having a quick look around before I head out.

But first thing's first.
