Constellation 01

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[Arthur seems quite startled as he appears on the Plane. For a moment, there is a look of confusion on his face, but it soon changes to one of delight] Oh, this is brilliant. Don’t recall having a dream like this before. [Gazing up, he begins to see what stars he can recognize] There’s Arcuturus, then Rigul. I don’t recognize any in that particular cluster… Even in the country, you can’t see stars as bright as these.

[Then he looks down at the ‘floor’. Rather than being scared that he is apparently walking on nothing, Arthur kneels, grinning as he traces constellations with his finger] There’s the Diamond of Virgo; Arcturus, Spica, Denebola, and Cor Caroli. The Big Dipper, of course. [then a frown as he pauses over a particular group of stars] Hold on. This is the Great Square of Pegasus, isn’t it? Shouldn’t be able to view these two at once. Diamond of Virgo is for spring, the Great Square of Pegasus for summer…..

A bit worrying, if my dreams have such simple mistakes.

How is that possible? [His tone isn't really disbelieving, just curious]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Well, travel between universes is possible. This nexus point must utilize that ability to draw in rather than cut across. The difficult part is keeping the gaps between universes open.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Is that what this place is, a gap between universes?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Possibly! Or where they all meet, which would make it much easier to pull through so many universes.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Are you from a different universe, then?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Well! I could be. I actually know of you, in my universe. The Eddington Limit is well known for quite some time on Earth. So it's possible you're from mine.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

The what?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[Rubs the back of his neck] Erm, right, well! You'll know about that eventually. Just continue your work.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

...I didn't name it after myself, did I?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[He smiles, a little amused, and shakes his head.] No. It ends up being named after you anyway.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

That's a silly thing to do.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Scientists are very silly people.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Have to give us some credit, though.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, I'm a follower of science myself.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Seem to know a fair bit about stars.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Well, I do visit them. Quite often. I travel space and time, you see.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

....I'm sorry, what?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. I do. I'm a Time Lord.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

So you're an alien, a Time Lord to be exact, possibly from a different Universe, and travel through time and space?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[Beams at him.] Yep! That's me. [waves a little.] And there are several of me. There's that bit, too.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Yes, six of us with the same face.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Actually...there's also three other...other versions of me. My fifth, my eighth and ninth.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Your fifth, eight, and ninth what?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Regenerations. Time Lords can regenerate, change the structure of every cell, including brain cells. So! When you meet someone who looks nothing like me but calls himself 'the Doctor', he is still me. Technically.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Why would your body do that?
