[The Doctor appears on the Plane, a mixture of utterly confused, and mildly annoyed] Oi! Bit more of an explanation would be nice! What sort of machine... [and he trails off when he notices the stars and galaxies, his expression turning to one of manic delight]

Fantastic! [walks around a bit, relieved to find that he is not falling through space, before noticing something] ...Hang on, this is all a bit wrong. Like some idiot cut up the universe and pasted it back together, but they’ve got no idea where anything goes. [digs through his pockets and eventually pulls out a red sharpie and a pad of paper, drawing out some proper star charts, and sticking them onto the “floor” of the Plane with duct tape. Because it holds the universe together.]

See? Not terribly complicated, is it? I’m sure you lot could fix it up this “machine” of yours with a bit of jiggery-pokery in no time. [crosses his arms] I’d fix it myself, but I’ve sort of got things to do, places to see, etc. So if someone wouldn’t mind showing me the way out, I’d appreciate it, thanks. [ waits for some kind of response] ...Ah. Maybe a bit of bribery? I’ve got...erm...[digs around in his pockets again, and pulls out a banana] ...a banana? Good source of potassium, bananas. [another pause] That’s never going to work, is it?

What, the others haven't told you about that yet?

Oops.

Yeah, it's pretty here, but it's also pretty horrible sometimes. It's too bad you missed the zombies, that was kinda fun.

...Zombies? [grins] Fantastic!

[... dude.]

Now here's a guy who knows how to rock.

[laughs] You could say that, yeah. Shame I missed out on the fun. This kidnapping and experimenting bit, though...one of the other blokes said I could get out just by thinking about it. Was he wrong?

Nah, he wasn't wrong. You'll go back to where you were before, no problem.

But sooner or later you'll be dragged back. You can't run from this place long-- not that some of us want to.

[more to himself than Axel] Just watch me.

...Why would anyone want to stay? Especially if you lot are getting experimented on.

Heh heh.

[He runs his hand through his hair.]

We have friends here. People we can't see otherwise. It's complicated.

...Ah, that would do it. [sighs, because he understands, but the whole system is still wrong] Seems a stupid price to have to pay for friendship, though. If I can ever get them to change it, I will.

Good luck with that. They're sort of a pain in the neck to get ahold of.
