August - What is unforgivable to you? (intro)
My name used to be Dorothy Gale McShane, I used to make fun of it you know? Dorothy Gale, caught up in a time storm and thrown to a planet half-way round the galaxy. I suppose it's only a laugh if you've read the Wizard of Oz.
Now my name is just Ace.
I was born human on the planet earth in the town of Perivale. All that was before I got swept away to other planets and went travelling with the Professor. I thought he was helping me when he got me off of Iceworld in his TARDIS but it turns out he was just nursing some potential along. All those places we went to see were all to get me further on the path to being what I am now.
A few years after we met up he dropped me on his home planet of Gallifrey and got me into the Time Lord Academy. Turns out there was this old fossil name Fenric who was my ancestor meant I was tainted with the DNA filled with all these instructions to free him. That left me open to things most humans aren't. After we'd beat Fenric at his game I didn't stop changing it just got worse.
They could have changed me back. All that DNA manipulation they can do and instead of making me human again I got stuck back in school and made into a Time Lord instead.
I fought in the Time war, the last time war against the Daleks. We were losing and the entire universe was going to be destroyed so we did something stupid. Which I guess if you look up Time Lord that word does crop up a lot. Anyway, we came up with a plan to use the Hand of Omega to take them out. The only problem was that meant the lot of us needed to be in the middle to make them all come in at once.
There was a few of us that were on the outside to keep stragglers from getting away but the Hand was more destructive than anyone thought. Used to be there was only one black hole the size of a few galaxies out there, now there's two.
I still don't know how my ship escaped it.
When I woke up I found out they'd done a good job re-writing me to be one of them. I can feel two hearts beating in my chest now, just like a Time Lord after their first change, and my hair...well the Professor'd be jealous I know he's always wanted to be ginger.
But the unforgiveable thing is that the Professor made them make me one of them and now they're all dead. Hundreds, or thousands maybe even millions of years ahead of me and I'm the last.
Ace, last of the Time Lords.
