Lecture 13: Welcome to my Kingdom

[doctor_tyrant]

[The Doctor has experienced quite a haul for Christmas. Not only did he get what appeared to look like a stone throne, he also received just the thing he needed to speed up his base's construction: a digger battle robot. It seemed to respond to his command just fine. Perhaps it was just as susceptible to the Demon Crown's power which, admittedly,

754 Partridge Drive

[Bernkastel simply appears, filling previously empty space as if she had been there all along. Of course, she had taken some time to explore the little complex the Doctor had been working on before she arrived in the main area.]

You've been productive.

[doctor_tyrant]

Indeed.

[Her sudden appearance surprises the Doctor little. The girl didn't seem to care for grand entrances. Bernkastel truly preferred to preserve her role as an observer, only interfering when it should be entertaining.]

A lair like this would let us prevent much of the same annoyances up until now. And, well... a fortress would be nice in time of war.

[cruelmiracle]

Indeed.

[Casting her eyes about the immediate area again.]

Better if there were a way to observe the proceedings from here.

[The tone is, vaguely, questioning. Does he have something, or do they still need that sort of thing?]

[doctor_tyrant]

A convenient idea! If we had anyone aboard who had some expertise with technology, I'm sure we can set up a few television screens somewhere.

You know, an admirer set up cameras on birds to spy on my activities.

[She summons up a few small surveillance cameras, which appear on the table.]

I'm not sure the birds here would suit, in this case.

[The Doctor stands from his throne and examines the surveillance cameras that Bernkastel offered. He smiles at them and then at the witch.]

Then all we have to do is find the proper engineer among our ranks.

We have no use for birds not that I couldn't emulate his methods. But then, he's an odd one. I would prefer not to.

[cruelmiracle]

If we can't find one, perhaps someone could be convinced to aid us.

I assume he's not here.

[doctor_tyrant]

Of course not. The man wants to kill me! ... Not that I mind much of that if we at least had similar interests. I'm quite fine with allying myself with murderers and demons if we had similar interests.
