[brigadiertardis]

[the TARDIS appears on the Plane after a relatively long absence (thanks a lot, Diva), a small, fuzzy creature in her hands. she sits down on the stars, letting the little thing go, and watches it intensely, mapping out its movement patterns, tracking its vitals as it skitters around, terrified on the Plane. it happened to find its way into her

[watches the TARDIS then focuses on the creature instead]

What is it?

[brigadiertardis]

I do not know. [watches it skitter around some more] It is an unknown species to me, so I am studying it.

[handysparehand]

[watches it skitter with her]

Where did you pick it up from?

[brigadiertardis]

Ah, Osudbogs. We have stopped here for a short while.

[handysparehand]

Oh? [moves towards the animal, and sits down cross legged watching it]

And he - or she - I think it's a he. [reaches out towards it] He found his way inside?

[brigadiertardis]

[nods] It happens on occasion. But I have never encountered this species. Do you recognise it?

[handysparehand]

[shakes his head] Not really, no.

[picks it up and looks it over] It seems harmless enough.

[then decides on petting it, because it's cute and that's what you do with cute things]

[brigadiertardis]

[watches him, smiling gently, and reaches over to touch the creature] Perhaps. I have not yet analysed its response to negative stimuli, however.

[handysparehand]

[looks at her, slightly alarmed] Negative stimuli?

[brigadiertardis]

Yes. To see how it reacts when in pain or under stress.

[handysparehand]

But - [looks at the animal he's holding then back up at the TARDIS] - you don't really need to do that, do you?

[brigadiertardis]

How can I fully understand it if I do not?

[handysparehand]

I don't know. But - [watches the creature as he pets it] - it's - [looks back up at the TARDIS] Can't you just not?

[brigadiertardis]

I will have insufficient data otherwise.

[handysparehand]

It's just one creature. [might be holding the creature a little more securely right about now] Can't your data just be incomplete this once?

[brigadiertardis]

[considers him] Is it so important to you that my databanks be incomplete?
