DW sim plot brief for 7/5/95		

The Doctor, brooding about what he has read in
the Gallifreyan texts he retrieved from Liana,
decides to take this information to his home
planet and the High Council.

As the Doctor approaches Gallifrey, the Tardis 
encounters a squadron of very nasty Radio Robots.

Who controls these robots and why?  Why are the
Robots programmed to track down the Doctor as
well as two other renegade Time Lords scattered
across two universes?  One word connects all
these persons, places, things, and events:

Shada...

Doctor's Log

Tardis Timecode zx44.23a.776675.rel

I have decided to return to Gallifrey. I will confront the High Council of the Timelords with what I have discovered.

The Journals of Rassilon have shown me that the Timelords achieved their gift of regeneration by exposing the entire planet to a virus which made some few Timelords as they currently exist, killed 10% of the population in agony, and left the rest unchanged...forever to be a sub-group ruled over by the virally infected Timelord elite. Our powers of regeneration were bought with death and degradation.

This has been hidden ever since then. As a race, we must face up to our crimes, admit them, and decide how to atone for them. The Timelords are intelligent and powerful, and could do much good. But are they too corrupt and decadent to face up to the crimes of our race?

I have programmed the Tardis for Gallifrey. We will arrive unannounced.

And hopefully in my next log I will have quite a story to tell.

 The large ship in which a host of Timelords and their companions bothered Ben. Instead of feeling safe in the company of all these great minds, he felt more vulnerable than ever. And worse than useless. Between college students, robot dogs, and timelords, what was Ben? But only he seemed to felt that all was not right- that danger was waiting to strike at them at any second. But the feeling wasn't anymore concrete than that. The attack from that large robot creature was just the beginning he thought to himself.

 Everything seemed pleasant with tea and cakes all around. He had been offered some countless times, but each time he refused. He wasn't sure if the Doctor would be put out by Ben's lack of socializing, after all some of these people were the Doctor's friends. Ben had met both Romana and Chronotis before, though he had not actually got acquainted with either. Occasionally one of them would try to strike up something with Ben, but after a few short and evasive answers they would move on. Ben wasn't going to trust anybody right now. He just wish that the Doctor would hurry up and leave.

 Ben wasn't sure if Tegan had noticed his behavior or not. He hoped she hadn't. If something was wrong he wanted to keep his suspicions to himself for now. Plus his arm was hurting worse now. "Just a bloomin' bruise", Ben kept saying to himself as he worked his sling Tegan had made for him slightly, but that didn't seem to stop it from hurting all the more.

 Yup Ben was sure things were going to get a whole lot worse before they got better.

::Tegan thinks::

Well, I don't know what a "Shada" is, but everyone else seems to be awed 
by it. I think its that singer from the 90"s..what was her name? Shade, 
Sade, Shada..yeah that must be it. I had no idea she was so popular with 
Timelords, or that they even liked music for that matter.

::Sips tea::

I'm probably way off base about who or what a "Shada" is, but I don't 
really care.  For once the Tardis has landed somewhere half way 
civilized.  Why, the Professor seems nice enough, and he even serves tea. 
I think I am just going to thank my lucky stars to be here and enjoy it 
while it lasts. No violence, no creepy lionmen to maul me, just tea and 
scones. I just wish every landing could be in such nice company. I must 
thank Ben for piloting the Tardis in this general direction.

::Munches on a scone::

Speaking of Ben, where is he anyway? 

::Tegan sees Ben sitting over by himself, looking like he doesn't feel so 
great.::

Oh, my gosh! I forgot all about Ben while I was stuffing my face. He 
looks kind of bad, maybe his arm is hurting him. And he's so macho he 
doesn't say a word about it, of course. I know I have some asprin in my 
fanny pack, and he can probably use it. I'm not sure if he wants me to 
baby him or not when he's feeling bad. But I know if I was hurting, I'd 
like someone to take care of me.

::Puts down tea, fumbles in fanny pack for asprin, but can only find 
Midol PMS...Tegan quickly removes two tablets and puts up the package, as 
she walks towards Ben. She tries to hide a smile that will let him on to 
her ploy, and manages to look as concerned as she really is::

::Tegan thinks::

Well, it won't hurt him, and it may help him. It's all I have to offer 
him, so it will have to do. Boy, he'd probably go ballistic if his male 
ego knew about this....

::Ben seems to shrink from Tegan as she approaches, and for a moment she 
wonders if he is on to her. She decides to give him the Midol whether he 
wants it or not, and continues with the bluff. Ben seems relieved that 
she only wants to help him out with his arm, and takes the "Tylenol" 
Tegan offers willingly. ::

::Tegan muses::

Ah, so he does like to be fussed over when he's hurting, after all! Well, 
who doesn't? 

::Tegan tries to suppress a giggle when she notices a few minutes later 
that Ben's mood has improved visibly... and thinks to herself::

Oh, yeah, I forgot that Midol PMS does have a mild sedative in it! Maybe 
I can market this stuff for men! Well, it did make him feel better, so 
I'm not going to feel guilty about it!

Subj:   Prof. Chronotis' log

[begin transcription]
How do I turn this thing on?  It's already on?  Let's start from the beginning then...  Oh dear, I've lost my notes.  Ah, here they are!  No, this is someone's term paper.  I read it yesterday, or was it next week?  Oh bother, now what was I on about?  Recording something, yes, I have this automatic transcriber running so it must have been something important.  Ah yes!  Sh-- um, sherry!  (Whew!)  That was close.  Now, what was I on about?  Oh dear.  I'm about to go on record about something I should never go on record about.  What a silly old codger.  I better have some tea and think this over.  Won't be a moment!

Oh dear, I left this on ages ago!  Now why did I have this recorder running-- oh yes, THAT subject.  Difficult to broach, you understand. If only the Doctor would lend me a K9 unit, I'd be much better off.  Can't keep track of too many things at a time anymore.  Last night I remember going to bed, and lying on something under the sheets under it woke me up.  A dissertation, it was.  From 1947.  I called up the owner but found out from his children that he was dead.  Well, I'll organize a posthumous doctorate in any case.  Can't be expected to read EVERYthing that's slid under my door.   Now, where was I?  Ah yes!  I remember it ALL know!  TEA!  Tea with lemon, won't be a second!

Porter:  And this note was sent to you by Ms. Hill.  Remember, sir?  The College President's widow?  You're to report to an emergency meeting of surviving regents to help create a five year plan for future of St. Cedd's.
Chronotis:  Oh yes.  I thought it would be somthing of the kind.  Is the old battleaxe running the college now?
Porter:  No, she's the Prime Minister, sir.
Chronotis:  Oh, nothing I can do about that.  No, I thought the college was recovering rather well from that... uh,  freak accident.
Porter:  Well put sir.  But St.Cedd's is still without half of the buildings, half the faculty, and a third of our undergraduates!
Chronotis:  Undergraduates?  Good riddance!
Porter:  What's that machine over there?  It's beeping.
Chronotis:  Oh, I left my transcriber on.  Never mind, I don't suppose you'll say anything important.
Porter:  As you say, sir.

Hello?  Hello?  Oh, it's just the transcriber beeping.  Well, I'd like to talk about all of this, but not just yet.  Besides, I have no idea where I left my notes.  I'd better turn this thing off now, I'm afraid.  Which button was it then?  Red?  Yellow?  Green?

Subj:   Romana's Log 7/5/95 sim

:::opens Databank entry recorder, Timecode is automatically stamped and a copy to K9 through his Databank Interface:::

I am reporting from N-Space, from the coordinates that identify System C60.  Massive anomalies exist in the structure of the system, preliminary observations reveal manipulation of gravity sources.  Several of the smaller planets in the system have disappeared, presumably pulled into the centre of gravity.  Further investigation of the asteroid that my Tardis now stands on will be initiated shortly.  

I am recording now the events which led me to this place.  A massive attack by large robots of unknown origin commenced 1 hour ago at the Warrior's Gate.  K9 detected their presence only at the last moment, and many of the Tharils were unable to reach cover before the attack.  I know many have died; I shall return to E-space to assist the Tharils as soon as I discover who is responsible for the attack, and as soon as I rescue a Tharil who was kidnapped by the robots.  K9 destroyed most of the robots; he then was able to track the one that retreated, to these coordinates, and we followed in my Tardis.

The journey from E-space to N-space was executed with minimal turbulance.  K9 had calculated coordinates for, and then tracked, the CVE by which I'd entered E-space 15 years ago when K9 and I were travelling with the Doctor and Adric.  I am happy to report that K9's state of repair has remained excellent.  The major repairs K9 and I performed on his damaged systems since that time we parted ways with the Doctor, have permitted travel across the Gate as well as through the CVE, with ease.  

Note/reference K9, Tardis Design:  Of course after K9 was repaired he commenced designing a Tardis time capsule with which I could continue to rescue enslaved Tharils.  The craft was designed precisely for that purpose, and runs perfectly for me since it was primed with my own DNA codes from the start.

recommence log entry:  Prior to materialization on the asteroid, two other time capsule signals were detected:  Tardises!  I have identified their materialized forms as English blue Police box and a room at St. Cedd's College, Cambridge, England; both forms circa mid-late 20th century Earth (Sol 3).  The Doctor and Professor Chronotis were the last known users of these forms.  I materialized my Tardis in the Professor's closet and shall now go out to enquire how our three craft have come to be in this place and time together.

supplemental entry, posted via K9:  It is indeed the good Professor Chronotis!  How lovely to see this dear Timelord again.  I must confess that I was glad I'd retained my second and more warm and emotional form when I saw the Doctor enter.  It quite brought a lump to my throat as I embraced the Timelord to whom I owe so much.  If it wasn't for his kind careless renegade ways, I'd not have decided upon freedom from Gallifrey, leading to my work with the Tharils and far more satisfaction than I would ever have found in a quiet life in the Capitol.  There are a total of 3 humans in the sitting room with three of us.  Tegan and Ben were traveling with the Doctor (indeed I remember Ben from my previous, sadly brief encounter with the Doctor in an earlier regeneration).  Zeezorum is a student at St. Cedd's.  Or rather, was; I gather most of the college was destroyed in an attack by creatures identical to those who attacked us at the Gate.  In addition, the Doctor reports a similar attack as he attempted to approach Gallifrey.  He still has not explained to me just what he was doing going *there*.

We are now formulating a plan to investigate the asteroid.

DRTUNA: 	$  : :  The Doctor rises to get the attention of the group. : : 
MsTegan: 	$  Who is this Shada person anyway, Doctor?
DanielC71: 	$  Shada is not a person, but a place.  A prison.
DRTUNA: 	$  Excuse me.... EXCUSE ME..... I SAY, LISTEN UP PLEASE!
K9 mk 4: 	$  Master?
DanielC71: 	$  Shh!
Gail Who: 	$ Romana> : : : falls silent when the Doctor shouts: : : 
BenJacksn: 	$ : : : Ben is by himself: : : 
MsTegan: 	$  : : Turns to listen: : 
DRTUNA: 	It seems to me that unless we act, and do something about that
station out there...
DRTUNA: 	: : :  The Doctor pauses and turns to look the people in the room in
the eyes. : : : 
DRTUNA: 	... then it is going to trigger a huge supernova, and whoever is in
that station...
DRTUNA: 	$  ...is going to harness that power and destroy the current order of
the universe.
K9 mk 4: 	$  : : : wiggles ears: : 
DRTUNA: 	$  We all could use a nice afternoon together, but this really is more
important.
DRTUNA: 	$  Unless we succeed, everything we have known and loved will be
destroyed.
DRTUNA: 	$  We need some ideas.
MsTegan: 	$  : : sighs: :  I knew this nice little tea party was too good to be
true...
DanielC71: 	$  More tea?
DRTUNA: 	$  Prof., please, we need some ideas!
BenJacksn: 	$ : : : From the back: : :  I say storm the place!!!!!
BenJacksn: 	$ Cor Blimey, take 'em by surprise!!!
DRTUNA: 	$ BEN'S:  : : :  Doctor nods at Ben's suggestion. : : 
Gail Who: 	$ Well, Doctor.
Gail Who: 	$ I'm thinking that someone knows we are Timelords
Gail Who: 	$ And Timelords are notorious for noninterference of course
Gail Who: 	$ So I agree with Ben!!
DanielC71: 	$  Hmmm....
DRTUNA: 	What do you mean, Ben?
BenJacksn: 	$ If 'e's a bloomin' timelord, 'e won't expect us to come a
knockin' at 'is front door
MsTegan: 	$  I'm willing to help Ben storm the place.
DRTUNA: 	$  How about a back door?
BenJacksn: 	$ We can get in and disable the computer robot thinggies
MsTegan: 	$  I'm pretty good at breaking computers, I say let's do it, Ben!!
K9 mk 4: 	$  Master, I have a suggestion.
DanielC71: 	$  K9, what's your idea?
DRTUNA: 	K9, what's your idea?
K9 mk 4: 	$  We should use all three TARDISes and convert them into Time cone inverters, attack from the front,
DRTUNA: 	$  : : :  The Doctor smiles broadly at K9's suggestion: : 
K9 mk 4: 	and create a vast amount of energy to overload the place's systems.
DRTUNA: 	$  K9, Worthy of the Brigadier! I wonder if that is a complement? : : laughs: : 
K9 mk 4: 	$  Master?
DanielC71: 	$  *ahem*
MsTegan: 	$  The professor seems to want to speak..
DRTUNA: 	Professor, what about you?
DRTUNA: 	$  And Professor, you will....
DRTUNA: 	$  do what? Wait, I hope.
DanielC71: 	$  I like both suggestions but...
DanielC71: 	$  We need a distraction.  A frontal assault.  Me.
DanielC71: 	Zee> Professor!!!  Not a chance!
DRTUNA: 	: :  Doctor sips tea: : : 
MsTegan: 	$  Professor, you're too old for such nonsense!!
DRTUNA: 	Well, we can't all frontally assault!
DanielC71: 	$  The Doctor knows why I must do this.
DanielC71: 	$  Zee> Why?
BenJacksn: 	$ : : : Surprised: : :  To Chronotis> You? That should be me! You'd want us to sneak in?
DanielC71: 	$  It'll do NO GOOD without MY help Doctor!
DanielC71: 	$  Leave Zee here...
DanielC71: 	$  Zee> NOT a CHANCE, Prof.!  You need all the help you can get!
DanielC71: 	$  Zee, you'll be my aide.  I may need it.  I'm getting on a bit
now.
MsTegan: 	$  : : Wonders if there is more to the professor than meets the eye: : 
DanielC71: 	$  Zee> Couldn't stop me Prof.!
Gail Who: 	$  K9, what is your idea?
DRTUNA: 	$  Look, I'll try a sneak attack from an unexpected direction.
MsTegan: 	$  : : Stifles a snicker: :  Upstart? I'll have to remember that one, Ben!!
K9 mk 4: 	$  Put all three plans into action to confuse the enemy, Mistress.
DRTUNA: 	$  K9 can attack with three linked time capsules.
Gail Who: 	$  Romana>K9, how much firing power can we muster with all 3 capsules?
Gail Who: 	$ Romana>or can we try some kind of stasis field?
DanielC71: 	$  K9... lovely machine...
MsTegan: 	$  : : Wonders if there is more to the robot dog than meets the eye: : 
K9 mk 4: 	$  The energy produced from the three TARDISes will overload the bases defense systems and enable us
K9 mk 4: 	for a frontal attack advantage.
BenJacksn: 	$ But Doctor, I don't go much for this sneakin' business, but if
you think we should....
DRTUNA: 	$  Wait a minute Ben.
DRTUNA: 	$  : :  Doctor looks at Ben and Tegan : :  I am afraid it is too dangerous, and both of you should stay here with Romana and K9.
MsTegan: 	$  You can't make me stay here!!
BenJacksn: 	$ Well I'm still for knockin' out the robot whoosits
DRTUNA: 	$ You could easily be killed! You've seen how those robots behave!
MsTegan: 	$  I want to help, and I'm going to whether you like it or not!!
BenJacksn: 	$ I'm comin' Doctor, you can't stop me
DanielC71: 	$  Doctor, we could ALL be killed.
DanielC71: 	$  Even time is not immortal.
K9 mk 4: 	$  Affirmative.
DRTUNA: 	$  Well, I guess I must give in. Right then, we're in this as equals.
BenJacksn: 	$ You need me to keep you out of trouble!!!!!
DRTUNA: 	$ : : :  The Doctor stretches forth his hand to Ben &  Tegan : :  We are in this together, and as equals.
MsTegan: 	: : Takes Tuna's hand: :  I'm in then.
DanielC71: 	$  Doctor, I'll land my TARDIS and send it back to K9.
DanielC71: 	$  Zee &  I will... walk in through the front door.
DanielC71: 	$  Zee, did I just say that?
K9 mk 4: 	{S AFRMATIV}
DanielC71: 	$  Zee> 'Fraid so!
DRTUNA: 	$ : : :  Doctor frowns at the Professor's idea. : : : 
DRTUNA: 	$  It is too tricky, Professor, no one could pull it off.
DanielC71: 	Doctor, please don't argue with me.
DanielC71: 	$  I will... persuade you otherwise if I have to.
DRTUNA: 	$  I suggest we adjourn to the Tardis! When I arrive I will send it back to K9!
K9 mk 4: 	$  Which one, Master?
MsTegan: 	$  : : Turns to Ben: :  come on let's get to the Tardis before he changes his mind!!
BenJacksn: 	$ I'm already there
DRTUNA: 	$ : : : To Romana : :  I trust you will have your timing right, Romana.
DRTUNA: 	$  I won't be able to go into a holding pattern.
Gail Who: 	$ Timing, eh? Oh yes, Doctor.
DanielC71: 	$  Zee> : : : What's the Prof. talking about?: : : 
MsTegan: 	$ : : Joins Ben: : 
DanielC71: 	$  Zee> : : : Pats Prof's shoulder.: : :

DRTUNA: 	#  I'd like to show you something.
DRTUNA: 	#  Doctor goes into side room.
MsTegan: 	# : : Follows the Dr., and ignores Ben: : 
DRTUNA: 	#  : : : The Doctor emerges pushing a smallish Vespa scooter. : : : 
MsTegan: 	#  Way cool!!
DRTUNA: 	#  Well, what do you think? Seems right for dashing around the
hallways of the 100 foot robots.
DRTUNA: 	#  Otherwise, we should never find the control center.
MsTegan: 	#  That looks like fun, but can Ben drive one with a hurt arm?
BenJacksn: 	# : : Laughs: :   Looks like the boards we used to ride
BenJacksn: 	# Don't worry about me luv!
BenJacksn: 	# I can look after myself
DRTUNA: 	#  Oh, you two look dashing on scooters! I never thought of them as fighting vehicles, however.
DRTUNA: 	#  Against 100 foot robots.
MsTegan: 	# : : Turns to the Dr., hands on hips, : :  100 FOOT ROBOTS?!!
MsTegan: 	#  How can a scooter stop a 100 foot robot?

MsTegan: 	#  : : Lets out the breath she was holding in a sigh of relief: :  Now you're talking!
DRTUNA: 	#  Feel free to apply them liberally. 5 second fuse, so toss it and
accelerate.
BenJacksn: 	# : : : Rolls eyes: : :  No doubt left behind by Ace
MsTegan: 	#  Ace? Who's Ace?
DRTUNA: 	#  Right, Ben. Make sure to say wicked when it goes off.
MsTegan: 	#  Wicked? Why wicked?
DRTUNA: 	#  You would have liked Ace, Tegan! You may yet.
BenJacksn: 	# You don't want to know, she was a right spiteful tart
MsTegan: 	#  Shows what you know Ben. I think I'd like her!
BenJacksn: 	# You'd be the first
BenJacksn: 	# Pol didn't like 'er
MsTegan: 	#  I heard that Tart remark you chauvinist.
DRTUNA: 	#  : :  The Tardis has landed in a huge, dank room on the station,

 Ben's Log (7/12/95 Sim)

 Ben looked at all that was happening: The Doctor with a death wish look in his eyes, Tegan looking like she was ready to explode any minute in tears or rage. He was hurt, bloody, and exhausted. Certainly being court-marshalled for desertion in the Royal Navy would be a cake walk compared to this. Was this to be his life?
 No!

Subj:   Prof. Chronotis' Log, part 2

[begin transcription]
I've made up my mind.  For once, there exist extenuating circumstances why I must tell this story.  But not yet, not all of it anyway.  The time lines are tricky old things; they may not have sorted themselves out by now.  I'll have to wait and see.  Perhaps my future self will finish these logs, after the Doctor visits me again and tells me it's all over.  He's the reason I'm here, you know.  In my own future.  It appears that I'm not around at St. Cedd's after a great catastrophe, and that in order to help the future I need to be stationed here until further notice.  Once I get the nod I can go back to my time, some five years previous.  The future hasn't changed much.  Neither have the people.  Thankfully the Doctor transfered enough memory from my future self that I'm not a complete fool here!  I know Zee, only a 16 years old in my own time, now a brilliant freshman.  I guess she can't help that she's a freshman.  She'll get over it.  But I'll have to wipe my own memory when I return.  It will all work out, I suppose.  I wonder where I am, my future self, that is; the Doctor wasn't very specific.  Not that he could be, First Law and all that.  

But in any case, this is a record to be stored in the Panoptican Archives and released into the Matrix upon my death.  My name is Professor Chronotis, but you know me better as Salyavin.  I escaped from my prison and made good my escape by stealing the Ancient and Worshipful Law of Gallifrey, now in possession of the Doctor, and by using my powers to make Time Lord society forget about Shada...

:::opens Databank entry recorder, Timecode is automatically stamped and a copy to K9 through his Databank Interface:::

This entry records the events which occurred from the time we all gathered in Professor Chronotis' sitting room:  The Professor, the Doctor, Ben and Tegan, Zeezorum, K9, and myself.  Amongst much discussion of different suggestions for confronting the occupants of the station at C60; it was decided to try them all.

The Professor and Zee planned to be captured, thus to obtain direct contact with the creature(s) in authority there.  The Doctor, Ben and Tegan would then slip in and do what damage they could while the authorities were distracted by the Professor.  And K9 and myself would coordinate the offensive power in the three Tardises to disable the weaponry on the station.  Once our tasks were done, I would collect the others.

We successfully destroyed the station's offenses.  We could tell from the explosions within that the Doctor and his companions were also doing well.  When I materialized in the control centre of the station, however, only Chronotis and Zee were there--in fact K9 and I were in the nick of time to rescue them from some nasty robot sorts who'd placed them in an isobubble.  The creature who seemed to be in charge had his black-gloved hand hovering over a dangerous looking red button.  K9 fired at his arm, but the button was pressed anyway--K9 had fired straight through a hologram!  

All sorts of klaxons and alarms began to sound, but still no Doctor, Tegan or Ben.  Zee and the Professor dashed into my Tardis with K9; but I refused to leave the others behind.  I stood in the control centre hollering for the Doctor at the top of my primary respiratory system as the countdown ominously continued:  5....4....3....2....

A few of Tegan's thoughts during the countdown of Ethrax...
***************************************************


-20-
::Nerves frayed:: 
Well, I wanted to help the Doctor, and here I am.

-19-
But this is NOT what I had in mind!

-18-
Why I could get killed!

-17-
He can just go off and regenerate, and everything's just hunky-dory!

-16-
But Ben and I, we could really die...

-15-
I don't want to die! Not here! Not now!

-14-
I don't like this, not at all!

-13-
What's become of me?

-12- 
Running round throwing bombs like there's no tomorrow!

-11-
It's all so violent, and I'm a part of it.

-10-
::Feels sick:: 
Why I even killed something back there...

-9-
But was only a robot. It's not really living. Or is it?

-8-
I just don't understand this fight, not really.

-7-
I WON'T go into another fight, blind, like this one.

-6-
::Starts to get angry:: 
The Dr and all his little secrets!

-5-
If I get out of this I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!

-4-
How can I help him if he doesn't tell me what's going on?

-3-
Enough. We've got to get to the Tardis and get out of here!!

-2-
::Groans:: I just know I've said that before!

::countdown continues::

   The monitor in the darkened room continued to show, from a distance, the ongoing battle swirling outside The Fist of E'Thrax.The flashes of blazing energy being volleyed back and forth made the room appear on the edge of a great storm, lit every few moments by wild lightning. Before the monitor, two gloved hands were clasped, and a face hidden by a dark hooded cloak took in every detail of the battle. And as the outcome became more and more apparent, the head within that cloak slowly began to nod, as he witnessed an already anticipated result unfold. 
   "Ah yes, my dear Doctor,"the Man in Black said quietly to himself," I see you are still as resourceful as ever.  But then, I would have expected no less...." One of the gloved hands began to rub the chin of the hooded man, and the brows of the handsome, clean shaven face were drawn together in concentration. He turned to look at a display on another monitor. This screen showed lines of data. One such line was highlited. It read: Chances of The Doctor  proceeding to Shada immediatly upon destroying The Fist....85.7%
A low chuckle eminated from the man. "I think I know you better than that, Doctor..." His other hand touched a keybord under the monitor, and the line now read 98%. The other lines, which included a plethora of other possibilities, all changed thier probabilites to adjust to the new input. 
  The hand then reached out and touched the monitor, hilighting another line. This one read: Chances of the Doctor surviving assault on Shada.....45%. A frown crossed the face of the Man in Black."Hmm, well that will never do." His hand began drumming the armrest of his chair."My favorite Timelord with less than a 50% chance of survival....How sad. And good opponents are so very hard to find..."Slowly, the fingers drumming the armrest came to a stop. And the frown was replaced by a most devious grin." There may be an opportunity here..." The hand entered new input into the keyboard, slowly at first, but quicker as his inspiration grew.
     "All this time imprisoned has at least allowed me to devise some new amusements, "said he, "very INTERESTING amusements, and now its just a matter of finding the right people to make them memorable and exciting. And the Doctor has always been that. Of course, the trick is to get him to play, but I think I can manage that..."After several minutes, the hand stopped typing. The line now read: Chances of The Doctor surviving the assault on Shada... 54%. "Well, that should give him a sporting chance, if he opts to take it. And knowing him..." Another line was now hilighted, reading: Chances of The Doctor accepting proposal....99.9+%
    A hologram flared to life inside the darkened room. It was the image of a powerfully built man, with an almost palpable air of cruelty about him. Merciless eyes. Large, slowly twithcing hands. A face of many scars, but none so grotesque as the hard lines etched on it from years of malevolent thinking. Quickly, but deftly, The Man in Black touched a button, and both monitors went out. A voice issued from the hologram, deep and onerous. "E'thrax commands you to come to The Great Hall at once! The Fist has been destroyed, and The League must make new plans immediatly."
   "Yes, I had just been thinking on that, Odo. New Plans, that is. Tell E'Thrax I will be there shortly, but I have something I must do first.." The image of Odo grunted, but nodded acknowledgement. Then, as abruptly as it appeared, the hologram winked out of existence.
   The Man in Black stood up."Yes, New Plans. And something I must do first..."


THE GAMESTER 

The man known as The Gamester is a Timelord himself, once highly respected. Over the centuries, the millenia, he has become convinced that exsistence really has no purpose. People live. People Die. There is great joy, where none is deserved, and great sorrow, where none is warrented. He has become quite jaded about it all. Bored, you might say. So he has opted to spend his time the way he most enjoys, playing games. He has mastered all the "static" games, like Chess and Klin Za, a Gallifrey favorite. Now he creates more diverse, unpredictable contests.Unusual Games.Thrilling Games.Games of High Stakes and High Risk. Games of Life and Death. Some of his 'Games' have even threatened the continuity of space-time. Of course, those who participate in his games, either as unwitting 'pawns' or by being manuevered into them, often do not like it. But what does that matter. After all, everyone dies. Yes, one day, even he will die. The real trick is to find a worthy opponent. And The Gamester's favorite, by far, is the resourceful, imaginative, and very slippery Doctor. The Doctor and The Gamester know each other very well, in fact, they once, centuries ago, played for the Klin Za championship of all Gallifrey. The Doctor was victorious, the only time The Gamester had ever lost.."You've learned to lose brilliantly, my friend", said The Gamester,"and now I see you' ve learned to win as well. Perhaps next time I can even the score. My Congratulations." They parted on good terms....
   Of course, as time went by, and The Gamester went from respected Timelord to rogue and outlaw, he sought out the Doctor many times to involve him in his elaborate contests. The trick, of course, would be to have the right 'stakes' to induce him to play his best (lives, planets, important information, etc.). Sometimes The Doctor has won, other times, much to the Doctor's regret, he has lost. 
   The Gamester is always very courteous, and he always keeps his word in matters involving his games. Otherwise, he would be cheating. And that would ruin the game for him. The Doctor, and many other Timelords know this. But, in the final analysis, he is not a nice man. He is absolutely ruthless when it comes to his games, as long as he adheres to the letter of his self imposed rules. And although he would make a perfectlly acceptable guest for tea, as he is cultured and polite, he will also not lift a finger to help save an opponent from a horrible fate. Even his most admired Timelord of all....

ProfG Whiz: 	& Yes, hello Odo
ProfG Whiz: 	&  San Francisco treat? What are you babbling about now?
Cmdr Odo: 	&  Oh, nothing. I think I'll just go step on some ants.
ProfG Whiz: 	&  Yes, well soon you might have something more, challenging, yes,
than ants, eh?
Cmdr Odo: 	&  Like humans?
ProfG Whiz: 	&  And Timelords. But be careful...they might 'step' back...
Cmdr Odo: 	&  Not against The Mutilator!

ProfG Whiz: 	& : : The Gamester begins to subtly adjust a control panel, his hand

INSIDE THE DOCTOR'S TARDIS

DRTUNA: 	 #  : : :  The Doctor goes to the Tardis console and begins fiddling about : : : 
DRTUNA: 	 #  : :  Doctor notices Tegan seems a bit faint. : : : 
DRTUNA: 	 #  Ben, see to Tegan. I want to follow those evil ones! 
BenJacksn: 	 # Doctor, anymore sightseeing to do : : : sarcastically: : : 
DRTUNA: 	 #  No scooters, next time, Ben.
DRTUNA: 	 #  Professor, you know where we have to go!  Set the coordinates! 
BenJacksn: 	 # : : : Ben hobbles with Tegan: : : 
BenJacksn: 	 # Tegan you okay?
MsTegan: 	 #  Of course I am, Ben!  It's you I am worried about! 
DRTUNA: 	 #  Here we go! 
K9 mk 4: 	 #  VWORP VWORP THUD! 
BenJacksn: 	 # : : Ben is ready to collapse: : :  When can we rest Doctor?
DRTUNA: 	 #  Ben, Tegan, are you both unhurt?
MsTegan: 	 #  Holds Ben steady and leans him gently against the Tardis console: : 
MsTegan: 	 #  : : Turns to glare at the Dr.: : 
BenJacksn: 	 # Bloody 'ell Doctor, no time for jokes! ! 
DRTUNA: 	 #  You were both very brave back there! 
MsTegan: 	 #  We were almost killed back there! 
MsTegan: 	 #  And what for?
DRTUNA: 	 #  I say, what is all this fuss from you two! 
BenJacksn: 	 # : : : To himself: : :  Crickey is there anyplace I ain't bleeding?
DRTUNA: 	 # I urged you both NOT to come along and you came anyway. Must I be the butt for your poor judgment?
MsTegan: 	 #  We want to help,  but we don't like going into things blind like this! 
DRTUNA: 	# In the midst of the action seems like an inopportune time to engage in a cosmological history lesson. However, here goes....
MsTegan: 	 #  What in the blazes IS Shada?
DRTUNA: 	 #  Well, our opponents are criminal Timelords from Shada. It is the prison planet of the Timelords.
BenJacksn: 	 # : : : Ben looks crestfallen: : : 
DRTUNA: 	 #  They were behind this plot. I fear they have taken over Shada. They must not escape! 
DRTUNA: 	 #  We must go to Shada and stop them!  But, how shall we gain entrance?
BenJacksn: 	 # Maybe we ask for permission or by a ticket
DRTUNA: 	 #  Shada, Tegan, is where evil Timelords are kept prisoner. Like the
Master and the Rani.
DRTUNA: 	 #  : : :  Tardis is heading toward Shada. : : : 
MsTegan: 	 #  Must we go there, Dr.?
BenJacksn: 	 # To Tegan> Sometimes I wonder why the Doctor ain't there then
MsTegan: 	Ben needs medical help I think.
DRTUNA: 	 #  You may stay in the Tardis if you wish.
DRTUNA: 	 #  But the real question is, how do we break into the prison of Shada?
MsTegan: 	 # : : Feels Ben's forehead and sees he is in a fever: :  You're ranting Ben! 
BenJacksn: 	 # I feel bloody okay Tegan!  Leave me alone
MsTegan: 	 #  Stop being so macho, admit it when you hurt, Ben! 
BenJacksn: 	 # Okay I got a bruise or two, I'll live I guess
MsTegan: 	 #  Do you know the way to Shada Dr.?
MsTegan: 	 # Maybe you could just set a course there...
ProfG Whiz: 	 #  A figure begins to materialize on the view screen..: : 
DRTUNA: 	 # : :  The Doctor gasps at the figure in the Tardis view screen. : : : 
ProfG Whiz: 	 # Good day, my old friend, we meet again...
MsTegan: 	 #  : : Ben, Look at that ! ! 
DRTUNA: 	 # : :  The Doctor hits the view screen control so that the other two Tardises can watch. : : : 
DRTUNA: 	 # : :  Addressing the figure : :  Who are you, to have boarded my Tardis? Explain yourself.
BenJacksn: 	 # Oh no, not another clown
ProfG Whiz: 	 # : : notices The Doctor tying in the other Tardises: : 
DRTUNA: 	 # : :  The Doctor listens. : : 
ProfG Whiz: 	 #  I thought you would have recognized me, my dear fellow. Has it been that long?
MsTegan: 	 #  : : Whispers: :  He's kind of sleazy looking, don't you think Ben?
BenJacksn: 	 # To Tegan>Looks like me stepdad, and that means trouble
MsTegan: 	 #  Reminds me of Jilamey in one of his pretentious moods
ProfG Whiz: 	 # Surely, you haven't forgotten: :  pauses for effect: :  The Gamester.
DRTUNA: 	 #  I have no time to play, state your business and be gone! 
ProfG Whiz: 	 # Yes, ever to the point, and you're quite right, there is not much time..
DRTUNA: 	 #  This is not a game!  I must go about my business! 
DRTUNA: 	 #  Join us or go! 
ProfG Whiz: 	 #  I'm afraid you will find that a little difficult, as the Defense Grid has been fully
ProfG Whiz: 	 # Reactivated to greet you and your ' companions: :  Nods to the two
humans: : 
BenJacksn: 	 # To himself>Oooh I think I'll have a bit of a lie down now
MsTegan: 	 #  To Ben> I don't like the sound of this...
DRTUNA: 	 #  Well help us or mail us your commentary later! 
MsTegan: 	 # : : Sees Ben swaying on his feet, and helps him to the floor: : 
ProfG Whiz: 	 # So, I'll state my business...to wit, I can help you get by the Shield
MsTegan: 	 #  : : wipes his forehead with a hankie and starts to get really
worried: : 
ProfG Whiz: 	 #  Are you interested?
DRTUNA: 	 #  Help? How can you help me, or even know what I am about?
MsTegan: 	 # Ben, are you sure you are all right?
BenJacksn: 	 # : : : Suddenly: : :  Don't trust 'em Doctor! ! ! ! 
ProfG Whiz: 	 # This is between me and the Doctor, young man...
DRTUNA: 	 #  : :  Doctor shushes Ben.: : 
BenJacksn: 	 # Anybody that looks like my no good stepdad is nothing but trouble
ProfG Whiz: 	 #  why, I assume you are on your way to "Shada' to set things
right, yes? And I just happen..
ProfG Whiz: 	 # to know the code sequence to bypass The Defense Grid...
MsTegan: 	 # : : Tries to shush Ben's ranting and raving: : 
DRTUNA: 	 #  Well, tell me what the codes are! 
MsTegan: 	 #  Begins to listen closely to the Dr.: : 
ProfG Whiz: 	 # Ah , not so fast, first, I want something in return...
MsTegan: 	 #  Don't trust him Dr.! 
MsTegan: 	 #  Never trust anyone who won't tell you the whole plod! 
DRTUNA: 	 #  What?
BenJacksn: 	 # : : : Tegan notices than Ben is quite bloody eeewwwww: : : 
DRTUNA: 	 # If you can help me gain safe entry....
ProfG Whiz: 	 #  A, how shall I put it, A small promise from you...
DRTUNA: 	 #  To B &  T:  : : :  Calm down, my friends, there is much more at stake here than just us! 
ProfG Whiz: 	 # I think you can guess as to what...
DRTUNA: 	 #  ...a game?
MsTegan: 	 #  Sees Ben's arm is really bleeding and tries to stop the flow with pressure
ProfG Whiz: 	 # Of course. Contest would be more accurate, but yes, a game...
BenJacksn: 	 # That's the Doctor always seein' the bigger picture that he forgets the people that suffer
DRTUNA: 	 #  I will agree to play, but only at mutually even odds!  It must be a fair contest! 
ProfG Whiz: 	 # : : acts with feigned shock: :  Doctor, you wound me to the quick. Do I ever play otherwise?
DRTUNA: 	 #  I agree ... if you can do what you say! 
MsTegan: 	 #  Knows it won't work so she removes a strip off her blouse to make a bandage
DRTUNA: 	 #  I agree. Give me the codes! 
MsTegan: 	 # : : Neatly bandages Ben's arm wound: :  Don't you worry Ben I'll see you get help! 
ProfG Whiz: 	 # : Smiles the smile of satisfaction: :  I am relaying them to you
now....
DRTUNA: 	 # : :  The Doctor feels a twinge of pain in his forehead
DRTUNA: 	: :  .. as the landing coordinates and defense codes are revealed to his brain. : : : 
MsTegan: 	 # Dr., don't listen to that man!  enough of this!  Ben needs help! 
ProfG Whiz: 	 # : : Underneath the screen, a vast series of alpha numerics quickly rolls past: : 
ProfG Whiz: 	 # If you haven't lost your touch, that should give you a sporting
chance...
DRTUNA: 	 # I'm afraid now is NOT playtime!  : :  The Doctor sets the
coordinates: : : 
MsTegan: 	 #  We've got to take care of him first! 
DRTUNA: 	 # ROMANA!  PROFESSOR! 
DRTUNA: 	 # I am going in. I urge you to follow me!  I am transmitting the
coordinates and codes now! 
DRTUNA: 	 #  : :  The Tardis demats. : : : 
ProfG Whiz: 	 # Good-bye, Doctor. Until we meet again: :  Image fades: : 
DRTUNA: 	 #  : : :  Tardis lands on Shada. : : : 
DRTUNA: 	 #  : :  Doctor to Ben and Tegan: :  You might want to grab a couple of
blasters.
BenJacksn: 	 # Thanks Tegan, but you're fussing over nothing
MsTegan: 	 #  Ben, I'm afraid we haven't seen the end of this nightmare
DRTUNA: 	 #   : : : The Doctor's brow furrows: : :  I believe the inmates are in control of the prison! 
MsTegan: 	 #  Are you up to helping the Dr. again?
BenJacksn: 	 # Sorry Doctor, I don't use guns
DRTUNA: 	: : :  The Tardis lands on Shada .. outside the Security Center. : : : 
MsTegan: 	 #  : : Takes a blaster: :  Well, I don't know how, but I don't want to
die either.
MsTegan: 	 #  Stick with me Ben, I'll take care of you

Subj:   Chronotis' Log part 3

[begin transcription]
Well, the moment came.  I received a danger signal from my TARDIS, warning me that another time capsule was trying materialize in the same place.  I flipped a few switches and now I'm back in my own time.  Five years previous.  My future self must have been returning, back safe and sound to home.  I'll record a few thoughts before wiping my memories of the future and return to grading all those infernal papers.  And make myself some tea.  I wonder what happened in the future.  I wonder if the Doctor will ever tell me.  Perhaps, perhaps not.  But does it really matter? 

Someone at the door!  Have to turn this off now!  Goodbye...

Subj:   Salyavin's Log

At last...  I'm free.  Free from Shada, free from Chronotis...  Dear old Chronotis.  Chronotis and I were one, originally.  But I brought us to imprionment on Shada, and that's when the split began.  By the time I'd escaped, I'd created a new identity: Chronotis.  After several regenerations, I discovered that somehow Salyavin and Chronotis had become two distinct entities, although Chronotis himself was unaware.  And when at last our old body began to give way, Chronotis discovered that we had indeed split, no longer dependant on the other.  So he let me have his body so I could free the Doctor.  Then he expired.  The Doctor I freed, as I promised to do. 
   Luckily, I found Varna, the Great Traitor, before Chronotis' body fell away.  An interesting man...  About 100 years before my birth, Chancellor Varna under President Norack IV attempted a coup d'etat.  His methods were unusual.  Instead of attempting to win over the Guards or even other members of the High Council, Varna attacked the Matrix itself.
   Varna was an expert at control systems, and held one of the highest positions in the Academy before accepting the Chancellory.  His plan was to insert several mutliplex viruses into the Matrix designed to attack the President.  Leaving the President brain damaged, Varna would then cut off every node to the Matrix accept his.  Without a Presidential override, Gallifrey would have to submit to his dictatorial rule or lose the Matrix.  Afterword, he planned to trade time technology with the Daleks in return for supreme control of the Space-Time Vortex.
   However flawless the scheme, Varna was foiled by the enormity of the Matrix itself.  Several Matrix controllers became alerted to Varna's actions due to in-built passive anti-virus simulcrums that had lain dormant in the Matrix for millenia.  The Keeper of the Matrix reported the injunctions to Castellan Jupho, who took a series of precautions that allowed Varna to reveal his intentions without causing harm to the President.  The trial lasted less than fifteen minutes, the verdict reached in twenty:  perpetual imprisonment on Shada.
   Now I have acquired all of his knowledge and all of his mistakes.  It rests along side of Chronotis'.  I'll try to put them all to good use...  But for now, I must rest.  This new body of mine has been in stasis for centuries, and it's a bit stiff.  And my mind must yet adjust.  Varna's body is so refreshing, however, after that old decrepid form.  So much easier to move and think.  Perhaps I'll regenerate just to be on the safe side.  But all that can wait.  For now, I must bide my time.  And then...
   Salyavin will return.

Dear Diary,
   To say that events have been strange is to understate the obvious.  Prof. Chronotis is dead, but no one here in Cambridge knows-- and the Doctor, a friend of the Professor's who dropped me off home, told me never to reveal what I knew about... well, ANYTHING I've learned about aliens, Shada, TARDISes, and whatever.
   I stopped by the Professor's rooms today.  Empty, of course.  The porters had just figured out that Pf. Chronotis was missing and were calling the police.  One of them told me to just go home.  Funny thing is I know what happened & he doesn't.  The Prof. died on Shada trying to save us from the Fist of E'Thrax.  God, this sounds like a bad Spielburg movie...
  
  I just stepped out.  Cambridge police are searching the city for him...  I suspect I'll be able to attend the funeral in a week or two, when they give up.  St. Cedd's is trying to deal with this quietly & I suspect no one will ever give it a second thought in a year's time.
   But I'll remember him.  And Shada.  The Professor once said, "Even time is not immortal."  I guess he knew what he was talking about.  I'll miss him.  Quizzically looking around the room, serving tea, speaking over everyone's heads, smiling warmly after long conversations, staring deep in thought in his old comfy chair.   That's the way I'll remember him then...  "One lump, one sugar Professor."

TEGAN'S LOG

Part One
Log for 7-19-95 Sim

Tegan enters the Tardis infirmary carefully supporting Ben who has draped his arm about her shoulder. Ben is pale, and seems to be moving with a great deal of pain. 

"Look 'ere, Tegan," says Ben, " I don't need all this fuss over a little scrape." "Nonsense, Ben Jackson!" Tegan says stubbornly. "I now you're really hurting even if you won't admit it to yourself. I am going to fix you up for your own good, whether you like it or not! So hush up and behave yourself or else!"

Tegan tries to lead Ben to the gurney in the middle of the room, but he balks and tries to remove his arm from around her shoulders. Ben protests, "No way you're going to make me lay on that thing, Tegan! Blimey! I've had enough poking a prodding on those things to last me a lifetime!"

Softening her voice, Tegan responds gently, "Don't have a cow, Ben. I'm not going to hurt you! I'm trying to take care of you. Here, you can sit in the chair in the corner of the room. Would that be better?" Ben nods, and Tegan helps him to settle in the lazyboy. She can't help but notice that he winces and seems to favor his left arm, the one she had bandaged earlier with a bit of her blouse. He seems to sink into the chair as though he is exhausted, and closes his eyes as though he is about to fall asleep.

"Oh no you don't, Ben! Wake up!" exclaims Tegan. "I need you to take off your shirt, so I can see what's wrong with you." Ben's eyes practically pop out of his head. "Now see 'ere Tegan, you just keep your hands off me! The shirt stays on!" cries Ben. Placing her hands on her hips Tegan glares at Ben and speaks none too gently. "Don't be ridiculous! I have five brothers, let me remind you, and I won't be seeing anything I haven't seen before. It's only your shirt, for goodness sake!" Ben is still shaking his head, with visions of the Rani and all the things she did to him once when he was vulnerable and un-clothed. Tegan looses all her patience, and speaks in a determined voice. "You have on a long-sleeved shirt, and you are hurt. I can't see how to help you through the shirt, so I am going to cut off the sleeve. Now sit back and be still, or it's you I'll be cutting!"

Ben relaxes visibly and Tegan removes the bloody bandage and sleeve as gently as she can. Ben's upper left arm has a huge, nasty, purplish blue bruise and Tegan can't help but gasp when she sees it. There is also a cut about two inches long on the biceps that started to bleed a bit when the shirt was pulled away. "Oh Ben! Poor baby! That has got to hurt!" whispers Tegan. She gently washes out the cut by pouring hydrogen peroxide over it, and the stinging makes Ben wince. When she tries to apply an anti-biotic and re-bandage the cut Ben cries out, "Crimey, Tegan! What are you tryin' to do, kill me?" Tegan lets out the breath she was holding and says, "I'm sorry, Ben, but it had to be done you know. I didn't mean to hurt you in any way." Looking concerned, she pats him on the shoulder and notices a little smile appear on Ben's face. Ahh, so Mr. Macho wants to be babied. Well, I guess it won't hurt me to be nice to him for once, thinks Tegan. 

Making an ice compress for the bruise, Tegan places it gently on Ben's arm and gets a pillow to raise his arm a bit. Then she brushes back his hair gently and says, "You've had a nasty bloody nose, and I'm going to have to clean that up as well. So lie still, sweetie." While Tegan washes Ben's face, she keeps up a running dialog that Ben seems to enjoy. " I can't believe you were able to pilot the Tardis, Ben. And then to get all these injuries after being toppled about when we landed and to never complain a bit! Why, you must be made of steel. And how you managed to drive the scooter and Nitro9 the fist of Ethrax is beyond me..." Ben just eats up all the administering to his bruised male ego. And Tegan thinks, "He's such a softie, but if I have to continue this dribble much longer I think I am going to make myself puke!" Tegan makes a compress of ice wrapped in a towel, and then places it on his forehead and the bridge of his nose. "There. That should help stop the bleeding and you look a lot better now you're all cleaned up. I've got to go see to the Doctor, so you just rest easy, and I'll be right back in a minute." 

Patting his arm, Tegan gets up and prepares to leave when Ben places his hand over hers and tells her, "Thanks, Teeg. You women do make good little nurses." Tegan bristles in mock anger and exclaims "I heard that remark, you chauvinist! If you weren't hurt I'd wallop you a good one!" The two of them share a good laugh before she leaves the room. Ben is still laughing softly to himself. "Fems!"  he says, and then quietly falls into a restful sleep.

Part Two 

Log for the 7-19-95 sim

Searching for the Doctor, Tegan finds him still in the console room. He is standing as if in shock, muttering senselessly about Shada. He doesn't seem to even be aware of his missing little finger. Tegan runs to his side exclaiming, "Oh my! I should have taken care of you first Doctor! What was I thinking! You're way worse off than Ben! Come on! You've got to come to the infirmary with me, before you bleed to death standing there!"  

The Doctor doesn't respond, and Tegan desperately runs back to the infirmary for the gurney. When she returns to the console room, she tries to help the Doctor onto the gurney. "Doctor, please wake up! How can I help you like this? Please, Doctor!" He suddenly seems to snap out of his haze. "Tegan?" he whispers, and collapses into Tegan's arms, unconscious again. She is barely able to support his weight before she lays him across the gurney. "You were heavy on Castrovalva, and you still are, Doctor!" mutters Tegan under her breath. Then she makes a mad dash back to the infirmary, Doctor in tow.

Once in the infirmary, Tegan proceeds to unwrap the wound slowly. She gasps at what she sees and almost faints. The wound is still bleeding profusely and instinctively she grabs a gauze bandage and presses it firmly over the wound.

 Tegan starts to freak out and begins to talk to herself worriedly. "Okay, girl. Think! Think! You learned what to do for this in health class. Come on! It's the Doctor, and there's only you to help him!. Alright. First calm down. Think. Direct pressure... then use a pressure point to help stop the flow of blood." Tegan places her thumb on the inner side of the wrist and presses toward the bone. "Now what? Think! Think! As a last resort, a tourniquet may be necessary." Tegan starts to weep uncontrollably, "How can I make a tourniquet if both of my hands are busy? I don't know what to do, Doctor! Ben! Ben! Wake up! The Doctor needs you!"

Ben hears the racket Tegan is making and wakes up. Seeing the Doctor on the gurney, he removes his icepacks and struggles to his feet. "Blimey, Tegan! What's going on here? Why didn't you call for me sooner?"  Still weeping, Tegan explains about the Doctor losing his finger and needing a tourniquet. "Hold his arm up above his heart level and keep applying pressure," says Ben. "We may not need one." Ben examines the wound and sees that the bleeding has stopped. "He won't need a tourniquet Tegan. Here. I'll hold the gauze down and you bandage the wound firmly but not too tightly." For once, Tegan does as Ben tells her. "Okay, now feel for his pulses, can you find them?" Ben continues. When Tegan nods her head, yes, Ben returns to the lazyboy and lets out a sigh. "Good. That means the bandage isn't too tight. Now treat him for shock, cover him up and raise his head with a pillow." 

Tegan follows orders and then goes to sit by Ben. "Isn't there anything else we can do?" she asks. Ben replies to just keep an eye on him, and that he would probably do the rest of the healing himself. 

"I'll stay up and keep an eye on the both of you," says Tegan. And for once Ben nods agreement and soon falls back to sleep. Tegan covers him with a blanket and settles to watch her friends throughout the night. 

Later, satisfied that the two of them are resting well, Tegan decides to take a break and ventures outside the infirmary door. She meant to go and get something to eat, but instead is overcome with emotion and sinks exhaustedly down to the floor just outside the door. The events at the Fist of Ethrax, and on Shada come crowding down on her.... The violence, her part in the bombing, seeing Ben get hurt, the thugs and evil Timelords, the Doctor losing his finger. It's just too much. Trying to wipe her eyes on the edge of her blouse, Tegan remembers that it is in tatters. She buries her head in her arms and starts to cry anew. "My wonderful fancy flights uniform, gone! I've nothing else to wear, and even worse than that; I've let the Doctor down! I meant to be stronger, but I'm not sure I can do this 'fighting evil' routine. Doctor, I'm so sorry!" she cries softly. 

Tegan feels a gentle touch on her shoulder and looks up to see the Doctor kneeling by her side. The Doctor gathers her into a hug and whispers, "There there, Tegan don't cry. Where's my brave heart?" Tegan tells him all her misgivings. About how she feels she failed when it came time to fight the evil Timelords. How she thought she was stronger and better able to face such brutality, but when it came down to it she just felt inadequate and frightened. How she was afraid of running off all over again. How her clothes were all ruined, and she was worried about Ben's bruise and the Doctor's hand.

The Doctor looked into Tegan's eyes and said, "Tegan, I am okay, and so is Ben. You knew that traveling in the Tardis would not always be a joy ride. But I promise I never meant for your return to the Tardis to be so stressful at the very beginning. Quite the contrary. I think I know just what you need. You need a vacation, a chance to renew yourself, to think, to go shopping and buy some new clothes." The Doctor starts to smile as he sees Tegan start to perk up at the mention of new clothes. "And I know just the place for you. Florana. There is a tropical resort there with a wonderful boutique. The bubbling waters are so invigorating that they literally lift you up and hold you afloat as they massage your body. What do you say, Tegan? Shall I drop you off there for a short stay, and then return for you in a few weeks?"

"Yes, Doctor! Oh,Yes! That sounds like just the thing!" exclaims Tegan as she throws her arms around his neck in a brief hug. And so it was agreed.

Ben's Log 7/19/95 Sim
Note: This log takes place immediately after Tegan's log.

 Ben sank back into his easy chair after taking care of the Doctor and Tegan. He couldn't help but feel bad for being so short with Tegan. Only after the Shada business was over did he have time to ponder how he acted towards her throughout that adventure. A wave of shamefulness passed over him. After all she was only trying to help him when he was down. But true to being Ben Jackson, he probably would never find the courage to tell her how sorry he was. Maybe it was just as well.

 The events of the last few adventures had taken a heavy mental and physical toll on Ben. And he was none too happy about it. He didn't know how long he had been on the TARDIS, but he realized it had been much too long. Fellow companions: Bennie, Ace, Polly, Peter, Jonathan, had all come and gone, but Ben was still here. And that was it. Why was he? Loyalty to the Doctor, he immediately answered to himself. But did the Doctor need his loyalty, or even want it. The Doctor was the Doctor. He had lived hundreds of years before Ben came and would probably live hundreds of years after he was gone. So that answer was now unsatisfactory to Ben. So what was it? Looking for a purpose in his life. That was another easy to reach for answer. That sounded high and mighty, but did it actually mean anything. After all he did have a purpose even before he joined the TARDIS a second time. He was a fast rising star in the Royal Navy. All his commanding officers all said they had not met such a promising person in years. No doubt his experience during his original voyage in the TARDIS played a large part in that. Yet he was more than willing to risk court marshal on desertion charges a second time to rejoin the Doctor and Bennie while they were in London in 1969.

 So THAT was the answer he thought to himself. I was running away from something. But what was it? He tried to think what it could be. But it couldn't seem to come to him. Was it that he was afraid to remember? Or was it more? Maybe somebody or something didn't want him to remember.

 Well now that was bloomin' unlikely Ben thought as he laughed to himself. His life on Earth was nothing compared to what he experienced on the TARDIS. But now that he thought about it. He barely remembered any details of that first adventure with the Doctor and Bennie. In fact, he remembered nothing of it except meeting the Doctor at the bus stop and then the Doctor ushering him onto the TARDIS is a hurry with Benny greatly displeased. Yet something happened in between? But what he couldn't seem to remember right off.   By then though, sleep was creeping up on Ben once again. He decided not to fight it and dozed off.

Doctor's Log

Tardis Timecode zx44.23a.776797.rel

Things have gone from bad to worse.

I have filed my perceptions of this entire Shada incident and they have gone on to Gallifrey. Some of the more personal thoughts I will keep here and here only.

It was very difficult seeing Romana again. When we parted I was very hurt and confused. But, as befitted my persona then, I did not show it. Of all my companions, and of all the Timelords I have known, she was the noblest. It is far more than just a pun. I was covering my true feelings with humor. 

Seeing her again made me realize how much I have missed her, how much she had taught me, and how I still very much need her help. I have never been interested in any female as more than a friend since the tragic passing of Susan's grandmother. Oh, I was fascinated by Xamayca whom I met in Tenochitlan when Susan, Barbara, and Ian and I were together. I cared deeply for Romana but was not able to tell her when we were together. Now, we have met again, and parted again, and I was not able to tell her. Sometimes my deepest feelings are my most profound mysteries.

Perhaps we shall meet again, and when we do, perhaps I will have the courage and self-knowledge to express myself.

I was very glad to see K9 again, but then, I have a spare head of his mounted on the console and we still play chess now and again.

My personal and interpersonal problems are, however, nothing compared to what I have been unable to stop.

I was in a position to stop the mass breakout from Shada and failed. I wasted my time on that ridiculous station near C60 when we should have headed straight to Shada and stopped the exodus of evil. If we had been earlier, we might have stopped them. Now that it is done, I cannot go back and change it. I yearn to arrive earlier and stop E'Thrax and the Gamester and their kind, but I cannot do that. I am constrained by the reality I have helped to create.

My failure to stop this exodus of evil is perhaps my greatest failure ever. I have spent vast amounts of time fighting evil Timelords like the Master, the Rani, and the Valeyard. Just a handful of minor Gallifreyan criminals. Now, I have allowed the entire criminal genetic bequest of the Timelord race to spill out into the universe. And they will go on using Rasillon's blood-stained gift of regeneration to keep their evil alive. How many? Who are they? Where have they gone? What will they do? What can I do?

My destiny is now set. I will spend the rest of my regenerations finding them and stopping them. I will probably die trying or die before I find them all, but it is what I must do. I will hunt these evil Timelords throughout time and space.

Exhausted, mutilated, humiliated, shamed, I stood shivering at the console as I commanded the Tardis to dematerialize. I throbbed with pain but hardly noticed it. I have never before been so shaken.

I look down at my bandaged hand. Who had bandaged it? Why had I not noticed?

I saw Tegan enter the room. Still preoccupied, I continued to mutter. My legs felt weak and I began to collapse. Tegan managed to break my fall.

I awoke in the infirmary. My hand was cleansed and bandaged. Who had done this?

Tegan, of course.

I saw Ben in a recliner. He was also bandaged. I remembered that he had hurt his arm.

I rose and approached the door. Outside, on the floor, sobbing, was Tegan. She had bandaged my wounds and comforted me. Now, I had to do the same.

Brave Tegan. She had thought she was brave enough this time, but who can be brave enough to cope with all we have faced recently? I have doubted my own courage, how can I expect her to do more than I just because she WANTS to be brave and promised to be if she could ride the Tardis again?

I have been insensitive. She has been as deeply wounded as I. I cannot focus on cosmic issues alone at the expense of the real persons I care for so much. I must be big enough to do both.

I tried to comfort her. I suggested a brief lay-over on Florana. I offered to take Sarah Jane there once, but never did manage it. A wonderful place.

I, however, will not stay there with her. Let her heal and recover in peace. She can gather herself. But she must know that she is welcome with me at any time. I will return for her.

And Ben? His place has been with me, helping me, saving me, my most reliable companion. Yet, can he continue to define himself through helping me? No, he will need to seek his own life, his own meaning, and his own triumph. He will decide when to go, and how, and when he does I know it will be the right thing to do. He is so talented and creative, I know that he will be happy and successful. BUT, he must do it on his own and at his own direction.

Tegan seemed comforted and slightly recovered. I accompanied her to her room and assured her that I would rest and try and recover a bit myself. 

I have gone to the Zero Room. Here I will rest and gather my strength. Will it help my mutilated hand? I wonder.

I will need it.

A short time ago I was a confused wanderer. I was tired of going places randomly. I decided that in this life I would go places with a purpose. I only needed to determine what that purpose would be. 

I have gotten what I asked for -- a goal and a purpose. And I don't know that I like it very much.

That's the trouble with asking for things. You may get what you ask for.

"Time, time, time...see what's become of me," goes the song.

I close the door of the Zero Room and float to the middle of the room.

I feel very alone.

REVENGE OF SHADA
THE END
