[and the Brigadier is on the plane, looking the exact opposite of pleased. he has a hand pressed to his side, and is wincing just a bit] Damn! Bloody, hotheaded... going to get someone killed!

You must have seen all manner of different peoples in your time, Brigadier.

[Smile brightens.] Well, it wouldn't do for a goddess to leave her friends in pain, now would it?

I have. Some I've seen on their own planets, some I've seen on Earth. I've fought against them and with them.

[he softly chuckles] I think that depends on what the goddess is like, actually.

Fascinating. I've only met one person in Nippon who could be called an "alien," but she left some time ago aboard a rocket made of bamboo.

[Giggles.] You might be right. But I don't think that the type of goddess who would leave her friends in pain would really have many friends, don't you agree?

I've met hundreds. The Doctor is one.

You never know. She might have a load of masochists who like her.

It must be quite the adventure. I always love meeting new people and new kinds of people. Even when they're not exactly pleasant, it's still a learning experience.

[Just laughs.]

I wasn't really brought for learning experiences. It was more a fluke than anything.

A happy accident, then?

[Headtilt as she seems to consider something.] You know, Brigadier, I don't mean to pry...but black is not the normal shade of your blood, is it?

You could say that.

[he stares at his hand a moment] No. It isn't.

It smells similar to this place; of water and the sharp tang of metal. I have smelled this before. [She looks up at the Brig.] This same sort of blood is in a few of the others here. An effect of this place, but not one that affects everyone.

Indeed. Just us unlucky few.

"Unlucky few," is it? [Curious goddess is curious!] It seems that you do not with to talk about it, so I will not pry.

Thank you. Still coming to terms, so to speak.

[Sad little smile.] I understand. [She looks away again. Then, more to herself than to the Brig,] I shall have to have a talk with those Twins.

[he quirks a brow, curious] About what?

[Glances at him.] About this place. About how they have managed to pull a goddess out of her world, and all but return her world to darkness. About how they are able to play with life and death, reality and time, as if they are mere toys.

[the Brig stands silent for a few moments - you can almost see the wheels in his head starting to turn] ...I hadn't thought of that. ...That is rather odd.

[Staring into the distance.] No on should have the ability to tamper with the laws of nature, yet these Twins do it easily. It is not right...not at all.

No, it isn't... but I've seen technology and things do similar stuff.

[Her ears go back a little.] Then you think their abilities are the work of this "technology?"

Maybe? I know I've seen a lot of things I thought weren't possible...

[She nods.] It bears investigation, certainly.
