It's not like schizophrenia, at least I think not. More like a strong, subtle voice... a witch doctor, or a demented priest. It's like it's been breathing down my neck for a month or so but now I can finally hear it speaking. But it's closer than that. Much closer. I can't help but listen to it even when I'm at work. It tells me to do things and I obey. I strangled a man last week. He wanted to expose me, tried to blackmail me, for my diversion of bank funds. I don't understand why I do what the voice says. But I do. I ALWAYS do. I've been laundering money to Y.E.T.I. ... a dummy corporation. It never produces anything. Not a single thing. But YETI is IT's plaything. The voice's. So I send the money weekly and make excuses. And tell Mr. Barnes to mind his business when he goes over the account. Barnes minds his business too well. He's shifty, I can see that. Does he know? Does he hear the voice too? Is Mr. Barnes IT's dummy too? Now I've hired Eva LaRue and have been giving money to her as well! Why?! Why does this voice tell me to do these things?! I -- I hear it. I hand Eva a 1000 pounds as my mongrel assistant cowers in the washroom. I hear it. I see Duke Albert and young woman in the hallway. I hear it. NOW. DON'T BE AFRAID. no, of course not, nothing to be afraid of. nothing wrong with the YETI account your Grace. nothing.... but now Duke Albert and his bleeding little fiancˇ want to look over the account!! what do I do?! HAVE EVA BE READY. ready? for what? oh yes, the gun Eva has in her dress. what shall we do with them once Eva's pulled the gun? what shall we do with them? TAKE THEM TO THE YETI. take them to the yeti. of course, master. she's pulled the gun. out the back way. out the back way to the YETI. followed? can't tell.... will take them to the YETI. have them in the van, on their way-- who is that, a sailor? he's followed us-- now's he talking to a driver in another van? watching us take duke Albert and Polly away! who is that driving the van? THE DOCTOR!! SO, HE HAS RETURNED!! GET them, you mongrel dog! Get the two in the other van! It's the Doctor! , go! Drive! ...but she's gone already, and so is the mongrel... they've left me behind... I must find Mr. .Barnes... Mr..... Mr.., come with me I have a gun. into my office I have a gun, Mr..-- OH! He's knocked me to the floor! I have to fight.. I have to... I'm too old and fat to fight. I can't hear what he says.. There's something in the building. Thrumming. A low vibration. IT is making the whole damn building alive! But, the fool, keeps talking. He can't hear it. Nobody can hear IT except me! I know what IT is! IT is the voice inside MY HEAD! THE VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD! YOU WILL OBEY ME AND FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS! ...and withers and falls to the floor. [to be continued] Date: Thu, May 25, 1995 1:23 PM EST From: DoctorWho8 Subj: Mr.' Log 5-24-95 Oh boy, what a day. Here I am, a normal man doing my work and minding my own business, when I get involved in something beyond normal human restraints. I was just going over some accounts when this Duke came in along with this girl, Polly, who is not only his secretary, but his fiancˇ. They go and see the bank Manager after I give them directions to his office. A few minutes later, I'm buzzed on the intercom and asked to bring in and brief everyone about the Y.E.T.I. account. To be honest, I know nothing about it, and Dan, the manager, wants me to brief the Duke about it, yeesh! So, I go in and sit next to Polly. She'd not a bad looker but could use a few enhancements in a few areas. Anyway, I was asked by the Duke about large amounts of money from the bank being sent to the Y.E.T.I. Corp., and I said that the money was being used to finance a new project that would help mankind. Of course I sort of embellished that but that's what the file said. All of a sudden, Dan tells me to leave and continue with my work. I did so but I felt that I left everyone in the lurch, including myself. After an hour or so, Dan asks me to come into his office to talk about the Y.E.T.I. account. I follow him, and when we got inside his office, he started asking me questions about what I knew about the account. I told him that I knew nothing except what I read in the files, which was the truth. He didn't believe me and stuck a gun at me. Upon seeing the gun, I used an ahp chagi to kick the gun away from him and chopped him in the neck (thank goodness for self-defense lessons). I grabbed the gun and pointed it at him. He wasn't very surprised. In fact, it looked like he expected it. So I make a up story to see how far I can go before I get the chop. I tell him that I'm in charge of the YETI project and that we're making monsters to take over the world. Unfortunately, he saw through my lie and got up really quickly. Then I heard a high pitch whine which got louder and louder until Dan shouted "I AM THE GREAT INTELLIGENCE, YOU WILL OBEY MY ORDERS!!" I knew then that he was possessed by some sort of alien influence. Then I fainted, not being able to handle all this. If I live through this, I'm going to retire and raise begonias. Date: Sun, May 28, 1995 7:42 PM EST From: BenJacksn Subj: Ben's Log 5/24/95 Sim Ben's Log 5/24/95 Sim When the Doctor said we 'ad to go to London for some more supplies, I should 'ave been right 'appy. But then he goes and shuts me up in is laboratory saying' that I didn't need to go and poke my nose into business I shouldn't. 'e didn't say what, but we both knew. Anyhow, I figured it wouldn't 'urt to just take a look around. I mean Crickey, London is me 'ome. So I snuck out. Course it goes to figure I'd run into 'er first thing. Going into a bank with that no good Duke she was married to before she met up with us again. I 'ad to see her, see if she was doin' okay. I went into the bank and saw them go into an office. Figured I'd wait for them. I don't right know why I should have. But somethin' in me was sayin' that I should stick around. It was a good thing too, as I saw 'em leave in a hurry with a man. It didn't look right. I'd been around too long to know a kidnapping when I see it. And that Duke doin' nothin' but playin' along. I 'ad to follow them, but they piled into an auto and was makin' off, when the Doctor appears in that strange car of 'is. I know 'e was about to give me a tongue lashin' when a guy snuck up on us and pulled a gun! Cripes, I must be gettin' old for somebody to do that to me. I wanted to fight 'im but the Doctor said to play along. So I did. We lost Polly, and that made me angry. We went to a ware 'ouse, and got out. He then went and tied us up. That don't surprise me at all. But then some woman comes in and says it's time to torture us. I'd right like to know why these women form the Rani down on see it their mission to torture me. Course Polly probably say I deserve it for not showin' them enough respect. But I 'ad 'ad it and decided and tied up or no, I could take out these guys. I rammed the guy and went to kick the woman. But then somethin' was wrong. The place was on fire! Subj: Evil Eva's Emotional Exclamation! Date: Sun, May 28, 1995 8:08 PM EST From: mredus@tenet.edu ::Hopping up and down on one foot after Ben's kick to the shins, feels someone grab her around the waist as if to keep her from falling. Turning with surprising agility (considering she is wearing a flouncy dress and heels), raises her hand as if to slap Ben, but instead finds herself face to face with the Doctor. Startled at the bright and intelligent eyes that seem to pore into her very being, decides to try a different approach to free herself. "I've been a fool," she thinks. "this one is the more dangerous of the two." Smiling charmingly, she leans into the Doctor's hold and exclaims, "Dahling, how very kind of you to help little old me..." and flicks her feather boa under his nose, in a flirtatious manner. The Doctor sneezes and drops his hold on her. Quickly, reaches into her blouse for her derringer, only to find it missing. "Looking for something?" says the Doctor, with a twinkle in his eye and her derringer swinging from his finger tip. "What? How on earth? Well, I never! Give me that back!!". shouts, lunging for the derringer. The Doctor deftly throws the derringer towards Ben, and falls as she lunges for it. Brushing herself off, and arranging her feather boa, notices that two of her fake nails are broken off, and goes completely berserk. starts to rant and rave and scream at the top of her lungs in the most unlady like manner: LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE YOU FOOL!! YOU BROKE MY BEAUTIFUL NAILS! THAT'S IT!! NOW YOU'VE DONE IT...C'EST LA GUERRE!!! THIS IS WAR!!" Date: Tue, May 30, 1995 6:31 PM EST From: Polly Gail Who Subj: Polly's Diary - 5/24/95 sim Excerpt from Polly's 1970 diary... Dearest Albert! He says I should not work for him for much longer, now that I am to become his Duchess. I am staying on until he's hired a new secretary. Instead of the traditional "working for a living", I look forward to doing charity work, fund raising and the like. And of course I look forward to enjoying the glamorous life ahead of me with this dear, dashing man! He is so smart, as well as handsome... he detected some sort of fraud was occurring involving his Bank's Manager, and a company named Y.E.T.I., which manufactures these awful-looking fake fur coats. The company wasn't marketing the coats hardly at all; and was losing money. All the time the Bank kept advancing more and more funds. Albert decided to check into the matter. We arrived at the Bank for meeting. I didn't know there was so much at stake in this crime! There must be, for the Manager, and Ms Eva LaRue of Y.E.T.I. forced us to leave the Bank at gun point. I was so frightened. I expected Ms Eva LaRue to kill us at any moment. We ended up being driven to the Y.E.T.I. factory, which appeared deserted, and incidentally, deserving of Albert's raised suspicions. Ms Eva LaRue tied us together on the floor and left. Albert tried to use a lighter to burn the ropes, but instead the entire room caught fire, with us trapped inside! The carpet, drapes, all that paper, went up so quickly! Albert shielded me with his body and I tried to shout for help though I was choking from the smoke...Albert was coughing also, and he began to lose consciousness... FROM: DRTUNA 5/29/95 Doctor's Log Tardis Timecode zx44.23a.776663.rel I am deeply worried about our staying in this time. Somewhere out there lurks my other self, perhaps another Ben, and many of those we will interact with in the future or have interacted with in the past. Ben and I are literally "time bombs" walking around in 1970. I would leave but some minor fine tuning remains on the Tardis and, after all, I am but one of its passengers. Ben seems interested in getting a taste of this time, this England, this civilization. I do not wish to order him to leave, but I dare not leave Ben here. He needs to decide on his own that it would be best to leave. All of this has made me think more deeply about my responsibilities towards the Laws of Time. Previously, I have often thought of them as laws like many other laws, socially convenient but not necessarily morally required. I have seen these laws bent and have even bent them myself a few times. Why should I risk myself and at times my friends and companions in order to see that these laws are obeyed? How can I explain to people like Ben that we must not alter the time stream in any significant way? Of course, we alter the time stream every time we breathe and act. However, we must learn that we must only stand in the same time stream once. Having acted and experienced, we may not reverse or change the flow. Frightening assumptions and conclusions: 1. The universe doesn't have to be here at all. The universe was not always here, and it may not be always here. Right now it is in existence, but it doesn't have to be. 2. We are very lucky that it is here. Since we are a part of it, without it, we are nothing. We are part of it and bound to it. The fate of the universe is our own fate as well. 3. The universe is held together by many forces into a dynamic equilibrium. The "natural" state of the universe is for it to fall apart...to shatter...to return to the nothingness that is the beginning and ending of all. As the Guardians know, these forces are complicated almost beyond understanding. Humans of the renaissance tried to construct a "clockwork" universe. They were not that far off. An almost infinite number of wound up springs hold violent forces in place. These forces can be released, causing the entire structure to fall apart. 4. Interfering in the time stream threatens these tightly bound forces. When we introduce contradictions and changes into the time stream, no matter how well intentioned, they stress the system. The bigger the change, the bigger the stress we put on the clockwork universe. This does not mean that we can afford to make small changes in the time stream, because changes accumulate, and we do not know how close to the shattering of the forces we are. Nor can we accurately predict what a "small" change is. What might seem small to us may actually be a huge change in the time stream. That we have survived previous interference is not comforting, because these changes may have put us on the "brink" of a shattering event caused by the next small change. Even if it is only a whisper or warning to Polly about her future. 5. Our next interference in the time stream may be the last. Any possibility of this means that we must try and oppose all future attempted changes in the time stream. 6. We must accept that we may only live our lives once. For all of this time and space travel, the reality of the laws of time means that we are still the prisoners of our past and future. We may not relive our lives, or right our wrong moves. As a Timelord, we must live our lives once through without recriminations, second thoughts, or post facto adjustments. The humans and others who travel in time with us have the same obligation. 7. We get one chance to live, and we must make our choices with consideration, wisdom, and judgment. We must learn from our experiences but we must not undo them. We are all obligated to realize this, but the temptation to violate these concepts is greatest among Timelords and their fellow time travelers. This is why the Timelords stay isolated in the Citadel. This is why they avoid interference. This is why they attempt to stop others from gaining time travel. They cannot risk the temptation to change the time stream. 8. Their reaction to this reality is incorrect. Because they dare not risk temptation, they absolve themselves of all responsibilities, to serve the life of the universe, to nurture it, and to oppose evil. 9. I accept the obligation not to change the time stream. But, I also accept my responsibility in the life of the universe to make my one trip through it count for something positive. I hope I can learn to face the tragedies I cannot solve or avoid. But how can I convince those around me of this? Perhaps this may call for a little preventive intervention of my own. My pocket watch started beeping. It is letting me know that Ben is on the move. I follow him to a Bank. I wait outside in my van [where did this strange music come from?] thinking that Ben, of all people, is very safe in a bank. Unless.... I saw two people [including Polly!] being pulled out of the bank and into a car. Then Ben followed. I drive to pick up Ben.....

Mr. Daniel St. John Phipps, 54, of London, in the Wednesday blaze at the Young England Textiles, Incorporated. He is survived by his mother, Elma Peters Phipps, 78, on Sheffield. Last Wednesday, a mysterious fire completely destroyed the aforementioned building by a cause yet to be determined by police. Mr. Phipps was Bank Manager at Tellson's in London, where he was responsible for business loans, including the account for Y.E.T.I. As yet, police have not rules out foul play, but at this time have not laid any formal complaints. Phipps began his business career at the age of eleven, when he joined his father in London to work as a part-time assistant after school. He read mathematics in university and was considered one of Tellson's most promising employees until recently, when the YETI scandal came to light. Tellson's president, Mr. Norman Featheringay Smith-Smythe-Smith, informed the Times that whatever unfortunate business decisions that Phipps was involved in before his untimely death, he was certain no impropriety had been done. Tellson's is currently under investigation by Her Majesty's Government to determine what, if any, role Phipps had in Y.E.T.I. Undisclosed sources say that even the United Nations Intelligence Task Force is looking into the matter, a statement which was poo-pooed by Smith-Smythe-Smith. Date: Mon, Jun 5, 1995 2:17 PM EST From: MsTegan Subj: Log for 5-31-95 sim ::The London Globe-Mail paperboy hawks the latest edition, hot-off the press, by yelling:: "FIRE POLISHES OFF MYSTERY WOMAN" "Read all about it"" ::Londoners flock to buy the paper, ever eager for the latest sensational tidbit:: The lead headline on the front page reads: "FIRE POLISHES OFF MYSTERY WOMAN" in all caps followed by a rather fuzzy picture of an open bank vault lined with 263 glass bottles of finger nail polish lying scattered across the floor. A female hand can be seen in the upper left-hand corner seemingly reaching for the bottles of nail polish... ::Curious, an old woman from the crowd begins to read the story outloud:: "Late yesterday evening, an loud explosion rocked the warehouse district of our fair city. A three alarm fire broke out in the Young England Textiles Factory owned by Duke Albert himself. Despite valiant efforts, our firefighters were unable to save all but a small portion of the building." "When arson investigators entered what remained of the building, they came upon a grisly sight indeed. An unknown woman was lying on the floor of the company's walk-in safe. She had apparently been thrown against the wall of the vault by the force of the explosion, and then smoke from the fire finished her off." "The woman was wearing a pink flouncy dress with a purple feather boa, and heels. The bodice of her dress was stuffed with an unspecified amount of the company's earnings, and we can't help but assume that it wasn't for the purpose of enhancing her already well-endowed figure!" ::The old woman stops to cackle before reading on:: "The strange part of the story is that the woman was clutching a hand bag that was stuffed with nail polish in every shade and hue known to man. There were also bottles of the polish strewn across the floor of the safe, presumably from the force of the explosion. The woman appeared to be reaching to gather up the errant bottles of polish as she was taking her last breath, and yet the hand reaching for the nail polish had two broken fingernails. This would appear to be at odds with a woman who so obviously loves her nail polish and takes great pride in her manicure!" ::Hooting, the crowd urges the old woman to read more!:: "Just who was this mystery woman? Why did she have such a fetish for fingernails? How on earth did she come by 263 different shades of fiongernail polish? Just what exactly is Y.E.T.I. and what product did it produce? (We can find no records of any Y.E.T.I. products on the market.)" "And perhaps most curious of all, what part does Duke Albert play in this mystery? Eyewitnesses claim that they saw the Duke himself beating a hasty retreat from the scene, not long after the fire began. Wild speculations are flying about the Duke. Perhaps he set the building on fire to collect insurance..maybe he was involved with the mystery woman, and wanted her out of the picture before his formal engagement announcement to Miss Polly Gail Lopez, currently his lovely secretary." ::The crowd gasps, "Ooooh, a royal scandal? Goodie!" :: ::The old woman reads the final sentence:: "We, the staff and editors of the Globe-Mail, promise to relentlessly follow this story until all these questions are answered for you, our loyal readers!" ::The crowd laughs and disperses, discussing all the mystery woman and her 263 bottles of fingernail polish. :: Date: Sun, Jun 4, 1995 8:09 PM EST From: BenJacksn Subj: Ben's Log 5/31/95 Sim Ben didn't feel much like talking to the Doctor as they drove back towards the TARDIS. But it didn't matter much for he knew this Doctor loved to talk...and talk...and talk! And since most of what he talked about was way over Ben's head, Ben learned to shut out most of it. But this time it was different. He was intent on hearing every word the Doctor said about futures, time streams. and choices. Ben wanted to be comforted, reassured somehow, that to let the future for Polly unfold as it should. But he couldn't find it. He knew the Duke she would marry would bring her nothing but unhappiness. And eventually push her into rejoining the TARDIS. Then Ben, the blockhead, would never realize what he had in Polly and watch her go into the arms of Johnathan Chance. Ben sighed heavily but then with grim determination decided to finally lay it to rest. Polly would find her future with JC and now Ben had to get on with his life. There had to be a place for him somewhere in the universe and he was determined to find it. Howver he knew he wouldn't find it in 1970 driving in a van listening to Pink Floyd. So he wished the Doctor would hurry as fast as possible back to the TARDIS. Doctor's Log Tardis Timecode zx44.23a.776669.rel Well, now that it is over it doesn't seem as exciting as it was at the time. I did, however, manage to work up a couple of broken ribs in the affair. I was right to have been suspicious about Ben's doings. He did, in fact, meet up with Polly as I had suspected. After waiting outside the bank for him, I finally saw Polly and another man being taken away in a car when Ben appeared out front. I drove to pick him up, but we also gained an added passenger....a ruffian with a gun (if they are so tough, why do they almost always need guns?) who told us to drive to A certain location. You can imagine my concern when we arrived at Young England Textiles, Inc. That was simply too much of a coincidence! Y.E.T.I. indeed! As usual, we were tied up in a stinky room and threatened by the original ruffian and a female who, though physically fit, seemed morally depraved. Nice fingernails, though. Ben and I managed to break loose and overpower them just as a fire seemed to be starting somewhere in the factory. I managed to question the female, a Ms. Eva LaRue, about the nature of the operation. I wasn't much interested in the sordid financial details, but when I learned that the purpose of the operation was to build some strange robots and then they were building something she didn't understand....that got my interest. Ben went off to find Polly. I was sure that she was in this facility. The same Ms. Eva LaRue was the one I saw taking her and a man away before Ben appeared outside the Bank. I was also concerned about the fire. Eventually, we were recaptured (and I, in the process, got thrown across the room [bruises I still have] and eventually got kicked in the chest so hard by Ms. Eva LaRue that she broke two ribs) and I managed to be taken right to the heart of the operation. I did, however, manage to drop my sonic screwdriver in a high traffic area thinking it might help Ben or Polly. It was YETI all right. And they were building a pyramid out of the golden spheres. That could only mean....the Great Intelligence. This had to be stopped before it managed to come through the hole they were going to create with this focus point. I managed to pocket one of the spheres from a YETI who had been overcome in a previous brawl. Polly was there. It brought back very fond memories of our times together...those past and those yet to come. Together we hatched a plan. She would distract those guarding us, I would attempt to reach the other YETIs by communicating with the golden sphere in my pocket (I wish it hadn't fallen so far inside) and persuading them to act against these human pawns of the Great Intelligence, ands finally to destroy the pyramid....perhaps by ramming into it with a very large and powerful forklift which seemed to be hanging about. Just then all hell broke loose as Ben burst onto the scene with his usual flair for changing the atmosphere. YETI and human-pawns and humans on our side and YETI who had answered my call (simple...join me and be set free, stick with the GI and remain as a traffic intersection between dimensions) all began brawling. I just confess that I was frightened by it all. My ribs hurt very badly, and I just did not want to fight. Was I afraid? Was I just following an ethic of non-violence? What if the ruffians had won, would I have blamed myself as they murdered Ben and Polly and the others? Was I too ethical to fight...or simply afraid to put myself on the line for my friends? I did not have much of a chance to worry about this. While I was engaging in timid introspection Polly gunned the forklift across the cavern floor (picked up quite a bit of speed, too) and rammed into the partially completed pyramid....saving all of us. The contact with the Great Intelligence was broken (although it did let off a few threats as it slipped away) and all things turned to our side. We exited the scene of disabled robots and spreading fires and gather outside. I stood apart. I was ashamed. Had anyone noticed? Then things really took a turn for the worse. The Duke (apparently Polly's fiancˇ) seemed to be asking a lot of questions, as did another chap. Had we done too much in this time? But coup de grace was when I overheard Ben talking to Polly, warning her of the Duke, telling her of the future, and warning her about Jonathan Chance! I knew what I had to do and I hated myself for it. I had to commit a mental assault on Polly. I had to erase her memories of this incident. With tears in my heart I told Polly that I loved her (not as Ben does or the Duke does, but as the Doctor does) and I placed my index finger on her forehead. I did what Salyavin (Prof. Chronotis) had taught me to do. Polly fainted. I had had to do too much, change too many memory synapses. I also did this trick on the Duke and that other fellow, but it was far less severe (very few connections between this event and any other memory they have). I wanted to be angry at Ben. How could he have forced me into committing this act of intellectual violence on Polly....wonderful Polly! But, I could not be angry with him. How I could have been angry with him when a few minutes ago he was fighting to save us all and I was worried about my sore ribs and trying to avoid the action? I had said earlier that we have to live our lives only once, and do so with courage and judgment. If I need to teach Ben about better judgment in matters such as these, he needs to teach me a lot more about courage. I have much to learn. I think we need to leave 1970. Our future lies ahead of us, and I can only change what lies ahead. I hope I will have the courage to face whatever it is. Doctor's Log Tardis Timecode zx44.23a.776671.rel I cannot ever remember being a coward. Now, I have that memory to add. Who am I in this new regeneration? All noble talk but nothing more than fear when the time comes. So far I have not had to put my life on the line. I avoided the action at Romney Woods. I got the sailors and Ben to do the fighting on the Soviet ship. And now I had been inactive while my friends were fighting for their lives. Polly had saved me! Ben can help me. I can learn from his determination. But, I need more than that. I need to know who I am before I put others at risk. If I cannot gather my courage, perhaps I shall go back to Gallifrey and simply observe from the Citadel. I would like to go to Australia, 1995. My old friend and mentor, Galarrwuy, lives in the outback. It will be isolated and uneventful. He is a master of the Dream Time. Perhaps that is where I need to go to learn about myself. I will suggest it to Ben.
