[The feed shows two small boys - around eight years old - running amok in one of the workshops at City Solutions. However, these aren't your normal children; the havoc they're causing is rather more scientific than what an average Earth boy might be able to do.

Koschei is tinkering with something that looks rather robotic when he glances up at Theta.]

Have you got your bit working yet, Theta? It's hard to do things properly with these primitive tools.

[Yes, someone was just as much of a snob in his younger years as he is several centuries later. At least he's not evil, though?]


[ooc: replies may come from either Koschei or Theta (timelordy). Or both!]

If they think those locks are secure, then it must be.

[timelordy]

Are you sure we can't help them?

[worstretconever]

[Sigh. It would be fun...]

Well. Maybe a little.

[timelordy]

We won't tell anyone.

[worstretconever]

Okay. But only because maths are fun.

[timelordy]

[ Abandoning the parts to go towards the main computer. ]

Look how quaint it is.

[worstretconever]

[He gives the computer a gleeful grin.] It's so big! And look at that manual interface!

[timelordy]

[ Dropping to the floor to look under it. ]

It still has wires.

[worstretconever]

Really? [He joins Theta in looking at the computer.] That's so weird.

[timelordy]

[ Pulling at one of the wires experimentally. Unfortunately that wakes JARVIS up. ]

[worstretconever]

An AI? [Koschei grins.] I didn't think they could create proper AIs.

[timelordy]

[ Crawling out from underneath. ]

Maybe they have geniuses too.

[worstretconever]

Maybe. Or maybe some other Time Lords interfered first. Does everybody keep asking you about someone called the Doctor?

[timelordy]

The not doctor that woman was talking to? I think he's invisible.

[worstretconever]

Pepper asked me if I knew him, too.

[timelordy]

Was she talking to the air as well?

[worstretconever]

No, she was talking to me. She said she'd met him before.

[timelordy]

Why would an exile be here?

[worstretconever]

Exiles have to be somewhere, don't they? Since it's not like they can be on Gallifrey.

[timelordy]

I wonder what they got exiled for.

[worstretconever]

Dunno. Probably breaking some stupid rule or another.

[timelordy]

[ Hmph. ]

We have too many rules anyway.

[worstretconever]

I hope you never meet my father. He has even more rules.

[timelordy]

That's why we have to break them.
