[Sam has his hands in his pockets, casually strolling about the Astral Plane. Is he a bit shaken up? Maybe, but he's doing his best not to show it]

'ey, Gene? What do you say to going to the pub? Could do with a Scotch myself.

And, uh, did I miss anything?

The calendar is a bit of a giveaway. Mobile phones, satellite television, notebook computers and the internet...

I see. But...wait, how did you know what they were when you saw them?

I, uh... [erm...] I was... I lived there. I'm from there. Then. Manchester, 2006. I just... had an accident and wound up in Manchester, 1973.

Oh, I see! [Nothing sounds strange to Hei anymore.] An accident, though...[Smiles a little.] Sounds like you've had a hard time of it all around.

's not so bad. I get to relive my childhood! ... as a transfer from 'Hyde' serving under a loudmouthed bigot of a DCI, and without nearly as much treacle tart, but it's actually kinda fun, sometimes.

Heh. Well, it sounds like you like what you do, so...

[At the mention of Gene, Hei visibly stiffens.] Gene...you're friends with him, aren't you?

I do. Always wanted to be a copper.

[frowns at Hei's reaction] He wouldn't say as much, but... yeah. I... he's... my best mate, really.

[Smiles a little at that.]

I see. What [Looks away.]...what kind of person is he?

[glances at Hei, then away] Gene Hunt is a loud-mouthed, bigoted bastard. He's homophobic, sexist, racist, has a major superiority complex, is violent and agressive, shouts and smokes too much, and is borderline alcoholic. He has all the manners and sophisications of a particularly uncivillised boar and his capacity for shockingly crude similie knows no bounds.

I trust him with my life. He cares about people, and he loves his city and his team. He's intelligent and loyal, and he may have some... unethical interrogation methods, but he knows where to draw the line. He's a good cop, a good man. A great man. [gives a half-smile] And don't ever tell him I said that, or he'll never let me live it down.

[For awhile, Hei has no idea how to respond to this, and he finds himself thinking about Huang and Ms. Kirihara. And about Bai. He tries to remember the last time he trusted someone that completely. He doesn't think he ever did.]

Is...is that so.

...

[He looks up at Sam again.] Akito told me that Gene Hunt threw him off a roof.

[frowns deeply, clasping his hands together] He... he did. But he... [lets out a sigh] The stupid, proud bastard let me think he did it on his own. But he's not a murderer, he's... [grimaces] He might not want me to tell you, but I don't...

The Guv was hypnotised by the Master to do it. And I know that sounds... stupid and silly, but I asked the Doctor. You can be hypnotised into doing something you never would've done. He's not a murderer. [looks up at him] He's not my murderer, and don't let anything he says make you think otherwise. It wasn't him.

[And Hei goes :|] Hypnosis? They have that kind of power?

[Stares at Sam for awhile.] So it was him who did that to you. I had a feeling. But the Masters can even make friends turn on each other...

[Long pause.]</i. They need to be stopped.

Any ideas?

[Isn't going to suggest murder to the policeman.] ...I've met people with hypnotic abilities before...but hypnosis varies greatly in scope and power. I'd have to know their power level before I could think of anything.

I wouldn't suggesting asking one of them... try one of the Doctors. They're the same species, 've known each other since they were kids. Probably have more answers than anyone else.

The "Doctors"? Alright. What do they look like?

Uh... One of them's about 5'11", wears a black Edwardian cricketer's uniform, blond hair, uh, brown eyes, I think. And the other one is about 6'1", wears a brown or blue suit, often with a long brown coat, has thick, messy brown hair and the same colour eyes.

That second one is the one who showed up with the second Master.

Alright. I'll talk to one of them, next time I see them.

They're travelling together, apparently. Sounds like a barrel of laughs.

[nods] Just... be careful. They're both a good sort, or at least the blond one is, but there's something... odd about their relationships with the Masters.

[Smirks,] Yes, I can imagine.

[Nods as well.] Thanks for the advice. I'll be careful.
