I think perhaps I've been lucky this month, aside from being killed the other day I don't seem to have suffered much. I do hope those who have been adversely affected are recovering as best they can, and taking advantage of the nicer weather as well.

i need help, studying everything, curse fallout, do you have a moment?, control issues

Ready when you are!

Re: [Private/Unhackable] lady_wandering March 24 2009, 15:49:20 UTC

I'm in my suite, if you'd care to join me, or another location on the TARDIS if you think it appropriate.

Re: [Private/Unhackable] sciencegeekchic March 24 2009, 16:28:34 UTC

Your suite is fine. Unless of course your friend is over...

Re: [Private/Unhackable] lady_wandering March 24 2009, 17:33:27 UTC

You're hopeless, Doctor. He's not here - to be honest he really hasn't been here at all. I think he's rather avoiding you, Doctor.

I can't possibly imagine why.

Come on over, then - let's get this done. I'd rather know than have this hanging over my head anymore.

Re: [Private/Unhackable] sciencegeekchic March 24 2009, 17:35:38 UTC

Why would he be avoiding me? Would you like Reinette and I to leave the TARDIS one evening so you two can have some alone time here?

Alright, be right there!

Re: [Private/Unhackable] lady_wandering March 24 2009, 17:50:38 UTC

Possibly something about the "manic glee" you showed when he turned up to return my shirt. Or possibly the fact that you're the closest thing I have to family here and I understand that it sometimes makes humans nervous to meet that families of people they're interested in. ...Or it could just be because you're insane, Doctor.

...I'll let you know. I know he's dying to see the TARDIS in more detail and I'd quite like to spend an evening here with him.

The door's open.

Insane? I'm not insane! I'm delightfully eccentric!

[Action]

The Doctor stepped into her room and smiled at her, his outrage at being called insane mostly out of habit and to keep up appearances. Who wanted to be sane anyways? That wasn't any fun.

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" he asked.

Re: [Private/Unhackable] Action lady_wandering March 24 2009, 18:11:43 UTC

Romana turned from her table to face the Doctor. "Eccentric? Yes. Delightful...occasionally. When it doesn't come while someone's trying to kill us."

She took a deep breath and motioned to the seat she'd pulled up next to her. "I'm ready to have this done. I know the memories are there, and what I've found left over in the lab...I just want to know."

Re: [Private/Unhackable] Action sciencegeekchic March 24 2009, 18:43:15 UTC

"Anyone can get all panicky or screamy when someone's trying to kill them," he said. "It takes a certain something to give a manic laugh at it. But I promise, all serious while looking through your memories."

The Doctor paused for a moment as something occurred to him. "You do realize I'm going to have to start with now and go backwards..."

Re: [Private/Unhackable] Action lady_wandering March 24 2009, 18:52:27 UTC

For a moment Romana was confused, but quickly caught on to what the Doctor was referring to.

"Ah, yes, well I'm not completely new to this, Doctor. I'll...close off anything that isn't relevant and trust to your discretion not to look to closely at anything of a more...personal nature."

She rather hoped she wasn't blushing too much.

Re: [Private/Unhackable] Action sciencegeekchic March 24 2009, 18:58:55 UTC

"Thank you," the Doctor said, resisting the urge tease her a bit. There were just some things he didn't want to think about the future Lady of Gallifrey doing, even to give her a hard time about it.

Reaching out he placed his fingertips on her temples. "Are you ready?"

Re: [Private/Unhackable] Action lady_wandering March 24 2009, 19:44:32 UTC

Romana closed her eyes, relaxing her mind and calming her thoughts.

Although...

"You may wish to keep in mind, Doctor that this could very well go both ways - you may wish to close off a few portions of your mind as well."

Re: [Private/Unhackable] Action sciencegeekchic March 24 2009, 20:39:49 UTC

"Oh of course..." the Doctor relaxed and began to go back through Romana's memories, avoiding those areas that she was blocking off until he arrived at the night in question. Murmuring to himself, he began to review the sequence of events.

"Ahhh, I see..."

Re: [Private/Unhackable] Action lady_wandering March 24 2009, 22:00:39 UTC

Romana remained passive as the Doctor began to sort back through her memories, occasionally re-directing him past things best kept private.

There was a shiver of nervousness in the pit of her stomach as they approached the time in question. Slowing, Romana found herself remembering just before the event - she can see herself looking often the clock on the wall, and down at a number of circuits on her workbench.

She can't quite make out what the circuits are part of, she keeps fixating on the clock.

Re: [Private/Unhackable] Action sciencegeekchic March 24 2009, 22:48:06 UTC

When he got closer to the actual event he took more time and began to examine her memories more thoroughly. It was like viewing a grainy video picture as he tried to make out what happened. Slowly though, things began to come to light.

"Ohhhh," he said. "Well, that's sort of anticlimactic..."

Re: [Private/Unhackable] Action lady_wandering March 25 2009, 00:24:46 UTC

The memories were slowly coming back together as the Doctor picked through them, and Romana followed where he lead, a visitor in her own subconscious.

But when the image of what she'd been working on and what happened finally coalesced she gave a small start.

"Oh the poor dear, how unfortunate! What a mess."
