(no subject)

[The Doctor is back around! Well, more or less. He technically didn't leave, he's just been avoiding the Plane entirely. He would rather still be away but lately he prefers sitting somewhere away from the TARDIS while he does his work. It’s more relaxing to take a stroll through space.

Speaking of work, he’s completely engrossed in a data pad. He’s scrolling through it with a stylus, occasionally stopping to click something or read longer. Once or twice, his reading is accompanied by a small holographic projection of various planets above the screen.

He’s taken to walking around the empty space, mostly following the arms of a spiral galaxy. Get his attention if you want him!]

And how exactly are you planning to solve it?

I don't know yet. He wants a plan, weapons blazing, that sort of thing. Well, not 'blazing' I suppose. But I don't really approve of his plan. [More to himself.] He is not using those Clade.

And what would your plan be, minus the weapons? Reason with them? [pauses] Clade?

You can't reason with a Dalek, can you? [Then he shakes his head.] The Clade. Do you remember those? He has them.

No you can't. [a little defensively] Yeah, I remember. [thoughtful now] Why would he want that? They're almost as bad as the Daleks.

I don't know. He thinks he can control them. [Somewhat irritated but he just shrugs it off.] So I need a plan. I really don't like plans. I haven't even gotten there yet and I need a plan.

[sigh]

Which part are you up to in your time line?

Ah, Jenny was...well. And we saw Martha again.

You're done with the Sontarans then, too? I wonder if things are happening in the same order for you, or if certain things just won't happen for you at all. Have you just finished dropping Martha off after Messaline?

[beat]

Hold up. Why are you worrying about the Daleks all ready? You shouldn't even know about any of that yet.

It's been rather difficult to avoid finding out about the Daleks with your lot having already gone through it. But no, Martha didn't come with us. Different ordering, then, I suppose.

Must be. It's a bit difficult talking about these things, like talking a different language, not knowing what's happened or hasn't happened or what you can talk about.

[notices the hologram of the planets]

How many are you up to now? Planets, I mean?

Mm, somewhere in the twenties. Twenty-five? I believe it was.

You've figured anything out yet?

Just enough to understand everything that's going on and not enough to decide how to deal with it.

[carefully, because "everything" is relative]

And what exactly is everything?

Oh, reality bomb, missing planets, you, Dalek army... [Starts going through the data pad.] I gathered the stars and Rose bits from, well, Rose.

Well, that really is everything, isn't it.

Takes a bit of the surprise out of things, having all these warnings. Still, with the head start hopefully you'll be able to sort it all out better than we did.

I rather hope so. Not that you lot botched it but I'd rather avoid several of those steps if I can.

Probably best for everyone involved if you could. It was a bit botched up, if we're being honest. I can't really think of anyone it turned out well for. Well, the universe, there's that. Universes were saved. But still, the rest of it, rather botched up if I do say so.

I was trying to say it politely. [He frowns.] Donna is with us. I'd rather not...well. Any suggestions?

[rolls his eyes]

Thanks.

[his expression softens and he sighs and has a matching frown as he thinks on this]

I tried creating a Z-Neutrino biological inversion catalyser. Thought since Davros' genetic code runs through the entire Dalek race, we could use the catalyster to lock the Crucible's transmission onto Davros himself, create a backfire, and bam, the bomb erases the Daleks out of existence instead of the universes. Never got a proper chance to test it out though. When I tried to Davros, well Davros stopped me, so I'm not entirely sure if something like that would even work.

[The Doctor thinks about it, tapping the data pad.]

It seems sound in theory. How many are there?

How many what? Planets? Twenty seven, including Earth.

No, actually, the Daleks.

Oh.

[pause]

Too many. Proper Dalek fleet, not like the last few we've faced. Billions and billions, enough to slaughter the entire cosmos even without the Reality Bomb.
