Night, Doc. We'll talk when you're up to it.

[And when he comes back to respond, he sounds forty shades of better.]

oon enough, any time you'd like, Dr. Harding. Once I've got a bit of tea in me, I've an appointment in the library, but perhaps in a few hours, over dinner perhaps? I'm just about due for a meal, I think, and my TARDIS is recovering.

Sure, I'd love to have dinner with you.

...What's a TARDIS?

The TARDIS is my ship. Her name stands for Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. You may find that most, if not all of me, have a version of her.

I'm having a pretty tough time with this whole...multiple selves thing, Doc.

...You have, what, a smaller ship, like the Barge, but inside the Barge?

Oh, goodness, no. My ship is quite a bit bigger, but yes, I've got her in my room. That... might not help matters at the moment, though.

Hmm... I could attempt to explain it, and us, with a visual, perhaps a bit of string to be cut up, but Time isn't very well explained as a line or even a segment, however malleable. Although, perhaps the problem lies in that which any of me fail to explain. Let's try this, then: when you think of us, what is an approximation of the first confusing thing that comes to mind?

There's nothing confusing about it. I understand how regeneration and reincarnation work. I simply don't think it's scientifically possible.

Of course, you're here, so I guess I can't go around calling you a scientific impossibility, can I?

So the TARDIS. It's bigger than -

...Could I see it?

[She sounds almost excited.]

Quite. I prefer terms like 'anomaly' and 'paradox' myself, actually. Much less restricting.

[And here, a grin. Suddenly, he doesn't look anywhere near as old as he is, nor really as he usually looks.]

I suppose you could have a look round after dinner. There's something I need to take to a room there to begin with, and she should be capable of generating light again by that point.

You keep talking about the ship like it's alive.

Oh, she is. She'd be exceedingly difficult to pilot, otherwise.

How is that possible?
