[the moment those creatures appear on the holograms, the very moment after the captain left them with his ominous message, he feels as though something has been ripped away from him and for a while, it leaves him breathless. it's been a long, long time since he's felt this, like time itself was torn away. to him, it's like losing a limb.

but seeing the creatures all over the sphere network--and noticing where they were, he pushes that empty feeling, as well as one of worry, aside. he's done it once before, after all. something about them though...they set his teeth on edge. that empty spot is filled with...something he can't quite place. a strange breed of determination, perhaps, even for him.]

Those--those creatures. [even with determination on his side, his voice is still slightly strained.] Everyone, we don't know if they're just holograms or...something new. It wouldn't be the first time we've encountered strange beings on the ship before.

Please don't try to interact with them even if they are holograms. We just can't be too careful, not after the ice creature in the Enviro-dome. If you can, stay in your rooms! They're the safest place we can be right now. I mean it.

[even after saying all that, he's leaving his suite, the big hypocrite. he has to see for himself if oliver, lara, and the rest of them are all right.]

[equally disturbed by no longer sensing Time, the TARDIS is absolutely distraught]

Doctor? Doctor, what is happening? You are well? You are uninjured? Tell me you are whole, I beg of you.

[bit_impossible]

I'm...[is about to say he's fine, but who's he kidding?] No, I'm not fine. I don't like this feeling, old girl. I hate it.

But otherwise, I'm unharmed.

[hisoldgirl]

[she'd have seen through it anyway] Then you are cut off, as well? You are unwhole.

I do not understand. How is such a thing possible?

[bit_impossible]

We'll be fine. I promise. This blasted ship has done things to us in the past, remember?

And besides, we've been through this before and we made it through, stronger than ever! We can do it again.

[hisoldgirl]

Yes, but this-- [frowns, shaking her head] Of course. I trust you.

What do you plan on doing? It is unlike you to leave something like this alone.

[bit_impossible]

[puts on a smile] When have I ever? I'm going to make sure the others are all right. It shouldn't take me too long to do.

And then once the Captain graces us with his presence, he and I are going to have a little...chat.

[hisoldgirl]

Do you require my assistance?

Will you? You will allow me to accompany you at that time. I have no intention of allowing him to go without retribution.

[bit_impossible]

To check on those two? Nah, I should be there and back in a mo'. Though...we should split up. Check the other floors.

Ohhh, I will. [darkly] I have many, many words I'd like that man to hear. I don't doubt you do as well. I'm not going to stop you from joining me.

[hisoldgirl]

Very well. That is acceptable.

I do not have words for him, Doctor. I do not know that you would approve of what I plan for him.

[bit_impossible]

[pauses for a second] No. Perhaps I don't.

[hisoldgirl]

Would you still stop me?

[bit_impossible]

Please don't ask me that now. [because with the way he's feeling, he might just say no.]

[hisoldgirl]

Why? Now is as good a time as ever. [she's totally banking on that]

[bit_impossible]

No. It is not. [no doubt there. he might just walk away before he has to say yes or no...]

Ganymede might not even show himself.

[hisoldgirl]

Why? [oh please, she has legs now. he's not getting away]

Perhaps. That does not mean we cannot discuss this.

[bit_impossible]

Because I'm not going to make that type of a decision rashly. It requires a clear mind--and mine is very much the opposite right now. [she'll have to catch him first]

[hisoldgirl]

My mind is clear. Therefore, my decision should be perfectly justifiable. [oh, you want a chase scene, then?]

[bit_impossible]

How can it possibly be clear when we're both feeling like this, eh? [ohhh might be fun~ but if she chases him down, the captain can get away...]

[hisoldgirl]

I am upset and frustrated, Doctor. I am not stupid. I would consider doing such to the captain regardless. You know this. [damn, this is true. I guess he'll just need to concede then~]

[bit_impossible]

I never said you were stupid.

[mutters] But yes, I do know. [is stubborn and refuses to concede]

[hisoldgirl]

Good. I would be quite put out if you did.

[and she totally takes this as her winning] Shall we find the captain, then?

[bit_impossible]

[smiles wearily] We shall. After we find the others.

[hisoldgirl]

[smiles back and takes his hand] Of course, Doctor.

[bit_impossible]

[squeezes her hand gently and suddenly envelops her in a hug.]

[hisoldgirl]

[hugs back!]
