autons, brigadiers, companions, & daffodils: the abcd's of TARDIS travel.

[Despite her previous smugness confidence with the Brigadier regarding the outcome of the little tussle with the Master and Autons, the Doctor is not really as cheerful in hindsight. Being at a stalemate is all well and good, but this particular stalemate leaves both herself and the Master stuck on Earth until one seeks out the other. Which really puts the balance of power somewhat in the hands of whoever cares to last the longer trapped on Earth.

That was not the Doctor's intention, given that (though it's been a few months) it still seems like she's only just gotten off Earth. UNIT, however, is considerably better than Sainsbury's, and she's very happy to finally be with Jamie and Zoe (and Jo, she supposes - the girl's useful in a crisis, if not precisely the sort she'd expect to be working with UNIT). So if it's not exactly a victory, it's certainly not a loss.

At any rate, she's visiting the Plane, fab overcoat and suchlike and all (she's trying to blend in, sort of; it was Jo's idea). Accounting for two very important items: the Master's dematerialization circuit (tucked into a somewhat larger and more secure on the inside pocket); and a yellow plastic daffodil in her hands (one of the UNIT employees handed it off to her, presumably because he was somewhat disturbed by the connection to the Autons, though it's not particularly dangerous unless activated. At least, she hopes that's the reason. It would get a little awkward if people started giving her flowers, plastic or otherwise, for any other reasons).]

Ahh. Koschei has come knocking.

But that does seem to imply that you should have picked up some assistants by now, doesn't it?

[the very pushy older acquaintance of dubious relation] And that would be...?

Good, good. And they don't even need to have their memories restored, correct? That must be a relief.

[Brax does pretty well with it!]

Another thing. I seem to recall that the Doctor, around contemporary your time, found himself acting a few times at the behest of the Interventionists. Parallel histories and all that, I know, but they haven't tried anything like that on you, have they?

It was about plausible deniability, apparently. You know how the Interventionists feel about covering their tracks.

[With the vague sympathy that is about as much sympathy as Brax can ever muster up] I'm sure they'll leave you alone.

No. But it seemed less insensitive than telling you to give up because they generally get their way as they know you can't stop yourself from doing the right thing.

Well that won't last long. You're far too loud.

Send them my love. And maybe an explosive. It's such a relief to be rid of them all.

If it's Narvin, give him my special regards, won't you?

[just watching her] No, but the moment has been prepared for. Have you?
