"We are...in dire straits." Lord Windlaxifaladrian gasped, clutching at his chest. He sat with the High Council in a meeting room of the Panoptican as, outside, the Time Lords were on the verge of panic.
"A heart has stopped...for each of us, a heart has stopped." The Chancellor shook his head, gasping. "It is like...we are no longer Time Lord."
Lord Wind shuddered. "We are no longer superior." He raised his head. "What about the Keeper of the Matrix? Has he checked…the bio-data? Surely there must be some trace--"
"It's all been corrupted." The Castellan told the Lord President. "We are no longer Time Lord--it is true. We are trying to figure out where and when it has gone wrong. But something has interfered with our biological structures. We have been manipulated, morphed—from a bivascular system to a one-heart…human in basic form. We can no longer trust in our regenerations. Those have been taken away from us."
A Cardinal whimpered. “We are—we are mortal? But that means--any germ, any slip, any enemy, any entropy…we could die at any second! I am over 1000 years old—[/b]”
“Calm yourself, Arachna—”
“My body must be degrading! I had 10 regenerations left, but now that all of those are gone, I have—nothing! No assurance, no guarantee--”
“Calm yourself! We have Gallifrey still—we can make this work.” The Lord President shook his head. "Not even in the Time War did we face such a threat. To have no chance at regeneration, to die without any redemption...we are no longer safe from any threat. But that does not mean we should give up. Even with one heart only…we should not give up." He lifted his head. “What about the corruption? Is it… from inside or outside?”
“We are checking the backlog of Matrix accesses. But we believe that this change was made from outside.” The Castellan told him, “Security protocols in the APC Net would have picked up someone making such drastic fundamental changes to everyone’s bio-data. We would have caught them in such a case, and reversed the changes before they could have done much damage, but right now…we do not know the source, and therefore, we cannot rectify it.”
“We must protect ourselves.” Lord Windlaxifaladrian told the High Council. “I am going to recall all…Time Lords to Gallifrey. If we can isolate the planet, then we might be able to prevent needless deaths. We can figure out this mess after that.”

Roth was tired today much like many days lately not wanting really to do anything but read a bit and not get involved with the next big threat or meet new people just sit down and catch his breath from the last couple centuries. Maybe as he sat in his chair by the console in thought A holiday a very long holiday would be in order. The Professor bolted back up to his feet and rubbed his hands together in anticipation of his next stop just him and some quiet time with no one around just a relaxing time. "Where to maybe the Eye of Orion or Traken no how about the Leisure hive, no no maybe Sol 3 that sounds." Before he could say anything else Patriae shook and started to groan as something seemed to be pulling the TARDIS. Which knocked Roth to the floor and he heard a few pops in his bones from the impact with a curse he threw himself a the console to find out what was going on. As he held on to for dear life The Prof heard a signal in his mind the recall signal of the Time Lord's which he had been calling him home but only for missions a lot lately.
With a scowl the Time Lord pulled a lever and started to fight the signal "Think you can make me obey you again, I think not Lord Windbag," he spat as he pulled the the power boost controls to try and force his way out to no avail as the TARDIS only shook more as if it was only moments away from ripping apart. Roth looked up at the ceiling almost feeling his ship's pain and knew deep down he had no choice but to see what ahead of him. Fighting the recall signal was just part of the play if the world was a stage and here he was playing the part of the reluctant renegade summoned to assist the government. "Very well I'm coming don't need to shout and all that," he shouted at the empty room while he went with the signal and the shaking ceased along with the groan from Patriae.
Roth rubbed the console in a petting manner to his ship and friend "I'm sorry old girl had to try right," while in his mind he felt agreement from his ship. The Time Lord thought bout changing into his robes but quickly chose against it, if he was sent away in exile then he might as well stay in something comfortable anyway. Finally the Time Rotor stopped and the engines sounds ceased as they had landed on Gallifrey planet of the Time Lords in the Rassilon era. A scowl now on his face, Roth activated the defenses of his TARDIS wanting no one but him allowed in. "I'll be back Patriae keep the engine running, I don't plan on staying very long." Which time he made his way to the door, Roth double checked his attire frock coat, pants, shirt and shoes all fine as he made the plunge and went out the door onto his former home.
As Roth walked out of his home into none other then the empty room of the Panopticon, the main of the Capital. His scowl replaced with confusion on how and why they would make him land here then some back alley as usual. Not to mention he didn't see anybody in here to tell him to get out and do some kind of mission for the Time Lords that could get him killed. He cupped his hands to his mouth and shouted to get someone anyone's attention "HELLO ANYONE HERE!"

Lord Windlaxifaladrian walked out of the High Council chamber, and met with a crowd of anxious Time Lords. He waded through the mess, promising them that a solution would be found, but he could not say anything definite as they questioned him. He did not even know where the source of their problem originated--but at least they had options.
There was the human girl they had captured; she had the Heart of a TARDIS in her, according to the research, and perhaps they could use her to make their own artificial ‘hearts’--connected to their TARDISes. It would be a worthy substitute for their own missing hearts, and would make them better—stronger than they had been with just two ordinary hearts. At least they might be better than…‘humans’, or mere Gallifreyans.
There was also the possibility that they could reanimate their dead hearts—by finding the source of their disability, they could use that to reverse the changes. But it was going to be difficult when a week or so had already gone by and they could not find it even now. The trail was growing cold, the trace weakening, and thus far they had only been able to establish that it was not from Gallifrey.
At that moment, he was getting close to the hall of the Panoptican; the Capitol was mostly empty, with Time Lords secluded in their homes for security and with most of the political business disrupted, but then he heard a voice shouting, "HELLO ANYONE HERE!"
Lord Wind halted in his steps. “It can’t be…”
He emerged in the Panoptican, going through the large doorway, and there in the middle of the floor was a familiar old TARDIS that he had banished several years ago, and another familiar sight—the Lord President halted. “Well, well…if it isn’t ‘Professor Roth’—as you prefer to be called, I suppose. Why are you here?”
Suddenly, Lord Wind groaned. “Of course--the summons! I should have known it would pick up more riffraff than true Time Lords. True Time Lords would be here on Gallifrey already—not out wandering the universe…”
The Lord President paused. “Wandering the universe—Professor Roth, I am curious…what have you seen out there? I imagine you must have been to many planets, many times—what of the news of those places? Have there been any…strange disturbances you were aware of?”

OOC: Sorry for the delay it has been a awesome week and drained me a lot.
As Roth finished looking around the circular room the doors near the top of the stairs opened to reveal a Time Lord that he had hoped never to see again, Lord Wind. A scowl dominated the features of the Professor at this sight and the President froze in his steps in almost seemed confusion for his appearance on Gallifrey after that court hearing so many years ago Roth thought angrily. Then the president spoke out to Roth in a superior voice,
Quote: “Well, well…if it isn’t ‘Professor Roth’—as you prefer to be called, I suppose. Why are you here?”
|
|
He opened his mouth to spout out some witty remark at the older Time Lord's expense but he said something that threw him off,
Quote:| “Of course--the summons! I should have known it would pick up more riffraff than true Time Lords. True Time Lords would be here on Gallifrey already—not out wandering the universe…” |
|
Roth grabbed his lapels of his frock coat and had an indignant look upon his face squared at his former teacher. "I am not simple riff raff I am a Time Lord of the highest caliber and I did not leave by choice," he paused before he finished that with "Lord President." Still holding his lapels as if they were his lifeline he then asked the President "Whatever you want me to do I won't do it, I've done enough missions for the Time Lords, I'm tired of the constant hijacking of my life." The feelings he felt now were in one word fowl at his own people for what they did to him and being here were it all happened didn't make it feel better but at least it was better then Shada with a shudder.
Quote: “Wandering the universe—Professor Roth, I am curious…what have you seen out there? I imagine you must have been to many planets, many times—what of the news of those places? Have there been any…strange disturbances you were aware of?”

Roth did not have any thing to say but well blink this was not what he had expected from Windbag a tongue lashing then mockery and mission but questions and asking. "Well," their were a lot of things that he had seen out there in universe but strange their were a few. Now Roth held his lapels with his head held high "Their are a few things such as the New Earth having flesh eating virus or the Earth having a alien stopping force but now that you mention something odd but probably not anything special."
His Left hand moved to his chin in thought "Well when I first left Gallifrey after being," a sigh escaped his lips when he decided to go on "exiled I did a scientific survey on the Time Vortex to see the damage that had been dealt because of the war nothing to spectular that I noticed., until recently." Entering teaching mood the professor began to walk around his former teacher and started to speak "When I noticed with a new scan I compared to the old one finding something odd, an energy source in the vortex I hadn't seen before and added mass instead of the usual influx of energy and I thought maybe a TARDIS exploded at first but it wouldn't be throughout time and space it would be a localized point." Roth folded his arms and finished it all up with his voice echoing in a tone that emphasized that there was nothing else to add after this I hadn't figured what it was out yet so I was going to put it on the back burner and check some new readings, after some time to relax, and come back with fresh eyes"

A scowl dominated the features of Professor Roth--who looked quite foolish in Lord Wind’s consideration as he tried to open his mouth at one point. However, Lord Windlaxifaladrian talked over him, and so Roth naturally forgot what he was going to say--whatever it was that was so easy to forget.
The younger Time Lord grabbed the lapels of his frock coat, showing off in his absent-minded manner as he sternly stared at his former teacher. "I am not simple riff raff. I am a Time Lord of the highest caliber and I did not leave by choice--Lord President."
“Of course, of course, you were…‘banished’ for being a Time Lord of the highest caliber.” Lord Wind shook his head. “You thought yourself so much above the station that you acted out. You did not consider that, for being a Time Lord, you should not break the First Law of Time—you might have saved Gallifrey at one point, but you did so by distorting what had happened. If the Daleks had come, the Daleks had come--we could have handled that on our own without you interfering.” Lord Wind shrugged. “You are not a Time Lord to me anymore. You are a renegade, and I cannot consider you an equal to my class.”
Still holding onto his lapels, Professor Roth then asked, "Whatever you want me to do, I won't do it. I've done enough missions for the Time Lords. I'm tired of the constant hijacking of my life."
“Who said I wanted you to do anything?” Lord Wind frowned. “I do not always need you, Professor Roth. I’ve gotten along quite fine without relying on the actions of renegades like you. Besides, you’re almost more trouble than you’re worth—like right now, with your flagrant disrespect to your superior. Do you have any notion of what I can do to you when you are under my command?”
However, Lord Wind did have a question—he asked it, and Professor Roth blinked before he replied, "Well, there are a few things such as the New Earth having flesh eating virus, or the Earth having an alien stopping force, but now that you mention something odd but probably not anything special."
“Go on and tell me--I have heard it all before.”
Roth’s left hand moved to his chin in thought "Well, when I first left Gallifrey after being--" a sigh escaped his lips "—exiled, I did a scientific survey on the Time Vortex to see the damage that had been dealt because of the war. Nothing too spectacular that I noticed., until recently."
Lord Wind slowly nodded, patiently waiting to hear more, though he was a little annoyed when Professor Roth started walking around him like he was the student now. The Lord President did not like having to listen to lectures--especially when he considered himself to be above such discussions; everything should be clean-cut, and not too complicated, when all he needed to do was agree or disagree, considering what was best for the Time Lord race.
"When I noticed, with a new scan I compared to the old one finding something odd, an energy source in the vortex I hadn't seen before and added mass instead of the usual influx of energy and I thought maybe a TARDIS exploded at first but it wouldn't be throughout time and space it would be a localized point." Roth folded his arms. “I hadn't figured what it was out yet so I was going to put it on the back burner and check some new readings, after some time to relax, and come back with fresh eyes" His tone emphasized that there was nothing else to add after this.
Lord Windlaxifaladrian rolled his eyes. “Some of this is old news, Professor Roth—you should have been here when it was first announced that Whitechapel existed. We discussed it for a little while, but decided it was none of our concern—most of the aliens captured were wayward, and would have been exterminated by other means in their lifestyles. The Time Lords cornered, however, have been able to escape thus far and none have been of any note.”
He frowned. “As to your energy source…you should have examined it more. I had heard that there were some rips in the Vortex--with damage caused by the Time War distorting everything—but nothing so major as…‘added mass’?” Lord Wind shook his head. “The way you make it sound, it is as if something new has come to this universe.” He paused a moment. “Something new…”

Roth felt his rage starting to take over his mind and he had to gain control because mocking the President right in the center of the Capitol would probably be a bad idea. He closed his eyes for a moment to try and keep it together then Lord Wind made a slight mistake he brought u what was his crime.
Quote:“Of course, of course, you were…‘banished’ for being a Time Lord of the highest caliber.” Lord Wind shook his head. “You thought yourself so much above the station that you acted out. You did not consider that, for being a Time Lord, you should not break the First Law of Time—you might have saved Gallifrey at one point, but you did so by distorting what had happened. If the Daleks had come, the Daleks had come--we could have handled that on our own without you interfering.” Lord Wind shrugged. “You are not a Time Lord to me anymore. You are a renegade, and I cannot consider you an equal to my class.”
|
|
The Time Lord's eyes popped right back open as they stared squarely on his old teacher, "I may very well be a renegade but the only time I broke the First Law was because that a race would be destroyed by the Daleks or Cybermen attacking the defenseless apes." With a snort Roth went on with "Or I could have not gotten involved with the Time War at all and let all the children at the Academy die that would have been some work for the politicians I believe." Mind you Roth would have never left those students to die no matter what, that is one thing in his life that he would not change if he at all possible and Lord Wind would know that. As the Professor looked the President of the Time Lords up and down he was still that same man that had taught him not willing to listen to others his way or the highway as it were.
Still holding his lapels in defiance of the President for sending him onto another mission for the Time Lords something actually surprised him almost sent him for a wallop.
“Who said I wanted you to do anything?” Lord Wind frowned. “I do not always need you, Professor Roth. I’ve gotten along quite fine without relying on the actions of renegades like you. Besides, you’re almost more trouble than you’re worth—like right now, with your flagrant disrespect to your superior. Do you have any notion of what I can do to you when you are under my command?”
Roth blinked in well confusion then cocked his head at Lord Wind if not for a mission for the Time Lords then why be brought to Gallifrey at all. Why am I here then, the prof thought to himself because if not a mission then why be allowed home because he still did not know the codes or the coordinates of home so why this doesn't make any sense in any shape of the word. "Then why was I brought here Lord President if not for a mission from you and your CIA then why was I brought here... sir." Roth really wanted to know what was going on, the Time Lord had entered that state he gets in wen he's curious and the only one who would give him any answers was Lord Wind so best to play the game apparently.
Quote:
“Go on and tell me--I have heard it all before.” |
|
Roth started to get grumpy and almost irritated at what his former teacher had said but to try and keep him in a better mood, he ignored the jab and went on explaining what was happening in the universe at large with the walking around the president with his hand under his chin in thought.
Quote:| “Some of this is old news, Professor Roth—you should have been here when it was first announced that Whitechapel existed. We discussed it for a little while, but decided it was none of our concern—most of the aliens captured were wayward, and would have been exterminated by other means in their lifestyles. The Time Lords cornered, however, have been able to escape thus far and none have been of any note.” |
|
Roth stopped in front of the president when he had said this and looked up and mumbled to himself "If I was here," He brought his eyes off the ceiling and back to the president with a smile and listen intently to his "superior." Although their was one word that he did not like from any ones mouth exterminate rom a Time Lord about any other species. Roth took a moment before he said while his eyes never faltered off the man that had taught him at the Academy the same Academy that had got him into trouble that he was in, "I believe the word exterminate was a slip of the tongue correct Lord President."
Quote:“As to your energy source…you should have examined it more. I had heard that there were some rips in the Vortex--with damage caused by the Time War distorting everything—but nothing so major as…‘added mass’?” Lord Wind shook his head. “The way you make it sound, it is as if something new has come to this universe.” He paused a moment. “Something new…”
|
|
The Professor's head moved to his chest as he looked down at the floor and contemplated Wind's words. If something new has come here what is the significance, why now and not before 20 years is a long time for the damage to effect like this, he thought to himself with a frown. He ignored the comment about examining the source more but why say what he had said a moment ago, he just did not have the time to check the source more detailed then what he had so far. "Whatever it is, to survive in the vortex without some kind of protection is astounding to say the least." Now this is what bothered Roth, what made this and what was the point of something in the universe that could survive in the vortex only Time Lords used pretty much. He said a bit louder by acident " I wonder if it was for us...."

Professor Roth closed his eyes for a moment as Lord Windlaxifaladrian watched him, wondering if his old opponent would be able to maintain his serenity. He had always considered the other Time Lord to be his opponent, ever since the fellow came into his classroom and started making fun of him behind his back—not the first to call him ‘Windbag’, but one of the first.
The Time Lord's eyes popped open as they stared squarely at his old teacher. “I may very well be a renegade, but the only time I broke the First Law was because that a race would be destroyed by the Daleks or Cybermen attacking the defenseless apes."
Lord Wind sighed. “A race would always be in trouble. We cannot help those unless they were meant to be saved, and even then, we would only use the most peaceful measures until we were forced to intervene by failure of negotiation.”
With a snort, Professor Roth continued, "Or I could have not gotten involved with the Time War at all, and let all the children at the Academy die. That would have been some work for the politicians, I believe."
Lord Wind grimaced. “We…could not have saved them all, that is true, but we would not have let them all die. We would have gone back and saved some by replacing their thread in the Loom, or else by donating their bodies to the effort of reestablishing a new line of regenerations…we would have saved them by one means or another.”
Professor Roth looked him up and down, still holding his lapels in defiance. Lord Windlaxifaladrian did not like the look in his face, the way he seemed to consider him in anger; but the Lord President did not relent. He would not be swayed by disfavor when this was a mediocre Time Lord who faced him—he was above the other man’s consideration.
Roth blinked in confusion, and cocked his head. “Then why was I brought here, Lord President, if not for a mission from you and your CIA. Then why was I brought here... sir."
“By accident.” Lord Wind told him. “After the failure of our second hearts, I have sent out a general recall of all Time Lords to Gallifrey; so that we might be isolated in safety and able to discuss the problem in assembly. I had not considered that all Time Lords might include you, Professor Roth; but I suppose the riffraff will come in when caught up in the circulation of the message.”
Lord Wind paced in front of him. “If so, then I suppose we might consider their opinions on how to solve the problem…but it will only happen if they behave themselves. It will be difficult to accommodate them, without worrying that their renegade attitudes might spread to the others, unless they were to promise that they would behave themselves. What do you think, Professor Roth?”
Roth was getting grumpy, but he calmed down, stopping for a moment and mumbling to himself, "If I was here." He brought his eyes off the ceiling and back to the Lord President with a smile.
“I wouldn’t believe that you would be.” Lord Wind said. “You were always destined to be banished…and that is how it went. Even you were young, I would have thought that your little shenanigans would lead to expulsion. I had little doubt that you wouldn’t make it as a Time Lord.”
At one point, however, Roth’s eyes never faltered as he said, "I believe the word ‘exterminate’ was a slip of the tongue—correct, Lord President?"
“Correct indeed, Professor Roth.” Lord Windlaxifaladrian said. “I only had a few hours sleep last month. I hope you will forgive me that. I would have slept longer, but the second hearts stopping ended that. I will have to sleep more regularly, though, now that I have only one heart.” He would not let one little mistake, one little ‘slip-up’ pass in front of Professor Roth—he would make his excuse, and hope that would be enough to satisfy the other Time Lord.
Professor Roth lowered his head, and remarked, "Whatever it is, to survive in the vortex without some kind of protection is astounding to say the least."
“Astounding—perhaps. Unless there was protection.” Lord Wind frowned. “I would consider some TARDISes to be strong enough to survive a voyage across dimensions…”
Professor Roth said, a bit louder, "I wonder if it was for us..."
“For us? No, it couldn’t have been meant for us.” Lord Wind shook his head. “This is wrong—it wasn’t meant to come. This wasn’t supposed to happen…not that I know of.” Lord Wind sighed. “I wouldn’t say that it wasn’t possible, but…highly unlikely, to say the least.”
He faced his former colleague and student. “If you were faced with this conundrum, Professor Roth, what would you do? In an academic sense, of course, but in practical consideration—what would be your course of action, considering the possibility of an interdimensional traveler, or some sort of particle foreign to our universe--would you get rid of it, or would you study it?”

Roth was keeping his emotions in check the president always the politician could use anything he said here against him so just keep it cool and everything should be fine yup. He eyed him his teacher grayer then before but still has the same eyes looking down at others because they aren't worth his time. Bah could learn some respect for others then ignoring them, Roth thought to himself. Wind oh he remembered the days at the Academy the squabbles the matches almost like warriors in a Colosseum with his antics and the keeping of order. Now here they were again seeing who would be the first one to break, mind you it looked like Wind had a head start. As Roth clasped his hands as Wind sighed as if he was trying to explain to his student something he should already know.
Quote:| “A race would always be in trouble. We cannot help those unless they were meant to be saved, and even then, we would only use the most peaceful measures until we were forced to intervene by failure of negotiation.” |
|
Roth cocked his head to the left upon hearing this and a confused look blossomed there as well "So you would had me do peace talks with the Daleks, the Daleks, most evil beings in the universe, them Daleks right." He brought his head back to a normal angle he went on with as Roth crossed his arms, "I know races are in trouble all the time but could you really just leave a planet being invaded and killed right in front of you and say "not my problem and jump in your TARDIS to somewhere else." Then the president explained what they could have done if Roth hadn't saved the Time Tots in the academy which was wrong to the Professor as he grimaced at that prospect.
Quote:| “We…could not have saved them all, that is true, but we would not have let them all die. We would have gone back and saved some by replacing their thread in the Loom, or else by donating their bodies to the effort of reestablishing a new line of regenerations…we would have saved them by one means or another.” |
|
With his eyebrows raised in contempt at what Windbag said it was a terrible idea the worst idea Roth had heard in a long time and there had been some doozies. "Come now really make new thread in the loom for them that would have saved a few of them but they wouldn't have been the same, new lives, new people with some lingering memories. Not to mention when I time locked the Academy you captured some Daleks thanks to that what I did." He gestured at himself and said to the president honestly which Roth sounded almsot like his old self for a moment "I know what I did was right at least an many people are alive and I guess that is all the counts." Then that look faded only leaving a frown and said grumpily "But that doesn't matter to the council at all I believe Lord President."
Then this is what really surprised Roth on why he was brought here this could and probably already brought the Time Lord society to it's knees. As Wind explained, Roth was really flabbergasted,
Quote:“By accident.” Lord Wind told him. “After the failure of our second hearts, I have sent out a general recall of all Time Lords to Gallifrey; so that we might be isolated in safety and able to discuss the problem in assembly. I had not considered that all Time Lords might include you, Professor Roth; but I suppose the riffraff will come in when caught up in the circulation of the message.”
|
|
The Professor did not think his mouth could open any more, on one hand failure of the second hearts for the Time Lords was bad, very bad and while on the other Roth only had one heart first incarnation and all that. Right now the jab bout being riff raff which usually made him mad was put to the background more important issues to deal with at the moment. With a nervous chuckle he said under his breath "At least I'm still on my first body so not too bad." He brought his eyes back to the President and said worryingly for mainly his people that would die in these conditions, "This is well a grim situation for us isn't it." He had to concentrate on a the now not on what this means focus he thought to himself loudly at the wondering thoughts. He coughed to clear his throat before he said anything "Right some of them will probably come back and others not so much their are some bad renegades out there and all that."
Quote:| “If so, then I suppose we might consider their opinions on how to solve the problem…but it will only happen if they behave themselves. It will be difficult to accommodate them, without worrying that their renegade attitudes might spread to the others, unless they were to promise that they would behave themselves. What do you think, Professor Roth?” |
|
Now Roth thought on what to say this wasn't everyday that the Lord President was wiling to hear suggestions and the Prof better be right because he was one of these renegades as well. He stroked his chin and told Wind what he was thinking"I would say put them somewhere that they can work and be brought to meetings because they have been out there much more then, no offense Lord President then Time Lords like yourself and thinking outside of the proverbial box for an answer. Then shrugged as well [b]"Not to mention someone out there might know what is happening in the universe better then the C.I.A."
Quote:“I wouldn’t believe that you would be.” Lord Wind said. “You were always destined to be banished…and that is how it went. Even you were young, I would have thought that your little shenanigans would lead to expulsion. I had little doubt that you wouldn’t make it as a Time Lord.”

When Roth thought it was going pretty well Lord Wind went right back into being Windbag again, Lord of hot air and all that. Can't say anything unless it's a I AM Better then you speak, Rassilon's sake." he thought but kept it in not what he wanted now being home for the first time in a long time. With a sharp intake of breath he said quietly almost a whisper "I may have been banished from my home, but I did become a Time Lord sorry to throw off your average... sir." Roth cracked his knuckles now their was work to do and science wait for no one even something as strange as what was ahead.
Quote:| “Correct indeed, Professor Roth.” Lord Windlaxifaladrian said. “I only had a few hours sleep last month. I hope you will forgive me that. I would have slept longer, but the second hearts stopping ended that. I will have to sleep more regularly, though, now that I have only one heart.” |

No he did not buy it the isolationist that Wind was would love to see more of the branching aliens get taken down and not getting involved with other species and maybe actually coming to Gallifrey for a chat, no that is what e meant. Mind you Roth used to be like that staying in the Citadel not getting involved with anyone but now after being kicked out it was almost nice but Roth would never ever say that to anyone he had a reputation after all. Wit ha nod that just did not seem to have the heart in it so to speak, "Right Lord Wind fair enough sleep is important."
Quote:| “Astounding—perhaps. Unless there was protection.” Lord Wind frowned. “I would consider some TARDISes to be strong enough to survive a voyage across dimensions…” |
|
With a shrug and bottom lip over the top one he had to agree with Wind on this one "That's true I'm not to sure if there was protection or not.....yet"
Quote:For us? No, it couldn’t have been meant for us.” Lord Wind shook his head. “This is wrong—it wasn’t meant to come. This wasn’t supposed to happen…not that I know of.” Lord Wind sighed. “I wouldn’t say that it wasn’t possible, but…highly unlikely, to say the least.”

Roth brought his hands up to interrupt the panicky President while he said with reason "To be fair Lord Wind even Time Lords know everything and I can count the number of species that can Time travel on one hand besides us so if not for us then who." The professor continued on his train of thought "Now listen we use the Time Vortex to travel and pretty much no one else does so if we didn't put it there someone else did and it's well known that Time Lords travel through time so why are those things here."
Quote:| If you were faced with this conundrum, Professor Roth, what would you do? In an academic sense, of course, but in practical consideration—what would be your course of action, considering the possibility of an interdimensional traveler, or some sort of particle foreign to our universe--would you get rid of it, or would you study it?” |

The Professor steepled is hands together and brought to his lips, it was interesting question of course what would be his course of action. Because it would be interesting to study it and see how it ticks and all that on the other hand it could be dangerous to all of creation. Aww who was Roth kidding he would study it first cause well it's just the way he is. Then a terrible thought came into the forefront of his mind, Wind rarely asks questions like this usually keeping it to himself and going with his own choice this might be something very bad. The Professor licked his lips and told him his answer "I would say study it of course academia is my life after all, why would you ask Lord President is there something new that has been found?" His eyes started to wonder and he said "In a academic sense of course sir."

Professor Roth cocked his head to the left, and a confused look appeared on his face; Lord Windlaxifaladrian hated that idiotic, dazed look on his frazzled face--underneath that head of hideous white hair. "So you would had me do peace talks with the Daleks, the Daleks, most evil beings in the universe, them Daleks right."
“I would have had you do the peace talks, if for no other reason than you were the only Time Lord I would want to see…” Lord Wind hesitated to finish, turning away to control his temper.
He brought his head back to a normal angle, and crossed his arms. "I know races are in trouble all the time but could you really just leave a planet being invaded and killed right in front of you and say "not my problem and jump in your TARDIS to somewhere else."
Lord Wind paused. “I would not know how I would react—I have never faced that situation before.” He turned back around.
“But if I were to react, I would do so in a wise manner, not entirely relying upon my instincts—I would have knowledge on the planet, on the fate of that race, and decide whether or not I could do so if it depended on the outcome.”
With his eyebrows raised in contempt, Professor Roth insisted, "Come now really make new thread in the loom for them that would have saved a few of them but they wouldn't have been the same, new lives, new people with some lingering memories. Not to mention when I time locked the Academy you captured some Daleks thanks to that what I did."
Lord Wind shook his head. “We did capture some Daleks, that is true, and we studied them for what we could find--but we learned no more than we ever did of their plans, their minds, whatever sort of ‘knowledge’ we could glean from such a horrid race.” Lord Wind turned around.
“New people with some lingering memories are better than nothing—when there would have been nothing left without the Looms, without the technology created by Time Lords to preserve the Time Lord race—proper technology that did not interfere with the natural flow and ebb of time and the universe. Your ‘time-lock’ measure was just a rickety solution to a haphazard problem, and not even a proper one when you couldn’t save them—just delay everything until reinforcements came to take care of it. What would you call that—a move that does nothing, does carry more risk than anything else when it could have upset the whole balance of the universe?”
"I know what I did was right at least and many people are alive and I guess that is all the counts." Professor Roth said with all of his swollen pride, but then he deflated and frowned, grumpily saying, "But that doesn't matter to the council at all I believe Lord President."
“It only matters so far as what happened in the past—and in the past, you received your judgment, as you would have received it today,” Lord Wind told him. “The judgment of the High Council is not as random nor as flippant as you believe—it is based on sound principles of the Laws of Time, and you messed with those Laws. You deserved the punishment that you received for the probable consequences of your actions—that it worked for saving lives only reserved some passing remark.” Wind paused. “Perhaps it will bode well for you one day, but for now, leave some dignity aside and consider only that you are here—and for now, that is enough.”
With a nervous chuckle, Roth said under his breath "At least I'm still on my first body so not too bad." He brought his eyes back up to the President and said, "This is well a grim situation for us isn't it."
“Indeed it is—and do not consider that you are exempt from it. You may not get a second body if you try anything that might ruin this one.” Lord Wind looked him up and down. “No wonder you are so old—you have never regenerated. I would have thought that you would have done, at least once or twice, but this…how do you avoid it when you are out there, alone by yourself—facing the dangers of the universe?”
Roth coughed to clear his throat before he said anything. "Right some of them will probably come back and others not so much their are some bad renegades out there and all that." He stroked his chin and then told him, "I would say put them somewhere that they can work and be brought to meetings because they have been out there much more then, no offense Lord President then Time Lords like yourself and thinking outside of the proverbial box for an answer.” He shrugged as well. "Not to mention someone out there might know what is happening in the universe better then the C.I.A."
Lord Wind frowned. “We are not entirely pointless, clueless—we do have our own minds, our own way of thinking that does concern the normal, natural flow of the universe.” He sighed. “Of course, these changes…the C.I.A. does its best, though it is limited in its effectiveness. After all, it must still operate under the Laws of Time.” He slowly nodded. “Yes, we will accommodate these renegades for however long it takes--but do not think that we will take all of their advice. We must make amendments for what is Lawful and what is not.”
With a sharp intake of breath, Professor Roth said quietly--in almost a whisper--"I may have been banished from my home, but I did become a Time Lord sorry to throw off your average... sir." Roth cracked his knuckles.
“Yes—a mistake I have not made with any other…” Lord Wind frowned. “That passed through my doors—I think.”
"Right Lord Wind fair enough sleep is important."
Lord Wind rubbed his eyelids. “I am tired, though—tired of having to deal with the worst of the problems that come to rest on Gallifrey. Why can’t the universe just settle to a peaceful existence?”
Roth brought his hands up to interrupt him, "To be fair Lord Wind even Time Lords know everything and I can count the number of species that can Time travel on one hand besides us so if not for us then who." The professor continued, "Now listen we use the Time Vortex to travel and pretty much no one else does so if we didn't put it there someone else did and it's well known that Time Lords travel through time so why are those things here."
“I do not know!” Lord Wind said. Then he stopped, and inhaled deeply, trying to calm himself once more. “I would say that this was meant to harm us—and it would indeed be a great harm, even with the Looms--by the other species that might despise us…and have the ability to access the Time Vortex.” He paused a moment. “The natural guess would be the Daleks, as they are our most hateful enemy, but this is by far more complex—more subtle than anything they have ever come up with… ” He sighed. “This slow killing.”
The Professor steepled his hands together, and brought them to his lips. He seemed to be contemplating the matter, and so Lord Wind took a moment to pace back and forth, settling his mind as he tried to reason with himself. Daleks were not the culprits, that much was certain, but who else--no, it couldn’t be any renegades, certainly not any…like Lokei. Lord Wind shuddered for a moment. He hated that woman—he was glad that he had not heard of her, ever since she had disappeared after that meeting. The other woman, though, the human who had a connection with a TARDIS…she was aligned with a Time Lord named ‘the Doctor’, but who could that be? This outsider—possibly from another universe—would he take to destroying the other Time Lords, if he could so easily destroy the life of a human girl?
"I would say study it of course,” Professor Roth was saying as he licked his lips. “Academia is my life after all, why would you ask Lord President is there something new that has been found?" His eyes started to wonder and he said "In a academic sense of course sir."
Lord Windlaxifaladrian sighed. “Perceptions being what perceptions are, you are right—there is something new.” He turned around. “Something that is disturbing, yet wonderful…if it works. If we could find a solution to what we have lost through this study, then we might live—better than we are now, maybe more so than we used to be.”
He paused a moment, considering if he should share this with the renegade…but perhaps it was best for him if he told this to someone—anyone that didn’t have a personal commitment to the project. Then he might be able to judge the reaction of other Time Lords if they were to hear what was happening. “For we have found a connection…to the Heart of a TARDIS.”
