005 [The Pity of War]
[The First World War is not one of Susan's favourite time periods. She's still young, for a Time Lord, but she has seen enough wars to last her a lifetime. Although she didn't stay on Earth after the Dalek Invasion, and although she didn't assist David in the rebuilding, she will never forget what she saw there. The devastation.
In a strange - strange and terrible - way, this is even worse.]
The war to end all wars, that's what grandfather called it.
[She is currently sitting in a crude cell, part of which has come to the Plane with her, waiting for their trial to begin. The Doctor is confident that he can smooth over any misunderstandings - and convince the soldiers that he and his companions certainly aren't German spies - so she isn't unduly worried, but she can't wait to return to the TARDIS and leave this acursed place.]
How can humans do something like this? To each other? It's ... [She struggles to find a word to truly convey her feelings.] ... barbaric!
[She's always been fond of the human race. Even after seeing their occasional cruelty and frequent selfishness. This is the first time she's really wondered why. Why are they worth liking?]
I do hope General Smythe will arrive soon. I don't think I can bear to stay here for much longer.
[Little did she know that the adventure - if it could be called that - was beginning rather than ending. Little did she knew that it would change her life, and the Doctor's, forever.]
OOC: 'The War Games', and Susan's canon update, begins.
