Two at once. Haven't seen that yet.

You've been here for some time?

Close to two months now, I think. [Figures he should explain things.] This is the Astral Plane, and everyone here is part of some experiment. You can go home just by thinking it.

I highly doubt that - home is some... centuries in the past, across a good portion of the universe.

Ah...[Nods.] I'm sorry. What I meant was that you can return to wherever you were before your arrival here.

No need to apologise. The Doctor said he needed me - I left willingly. Couldn't deny an old friend of mine; just required him to bring me home once everything was sorted out.

[then the Brig pauses, thinks for a moment, drops out of the plane, then returns - a bit startled]

...Well then.

Ah, so you know the Doctor as well! Or, Doctors, rather. We have at least three of them here, and quite a few others from their realities. [Pauses.] As well as two versions of the Master.

[Smiles.] It takes getting used to.

Yes, all thirteen of him. Wonderful chap, that man... ...the Master? How much damage has he caused?

[he lets the rest of the conversation drop for now]

He...they...do seem like good people. [Dark look.] He's killed at least three people here that I know of. Fortunately, the Twins brought them all back to life.

Only three? ...He must be up to something. How long has he been here?

contract_star April 13 2008, 06:45:36 UTC
"Only?"

One of them has been here longer than I have, the other has only been here about a month.

He's killed hundreds in the span of days. He's one of the most dangerous types I've ever come across.

[he furrows his brow]

Yes, he's up to something.

[Horrified stare.] That's...

[Collects himself, then,]...Any...ideas at least? You seem to know him well.

Yes.

[the Brig goes quiet for the moment, straightening himself] I'll need to speak with the Doctor. I've had my skirmishes with the man, I've fought against him but I'm no foil. I only do what I can and hope I come out victorious.

[serious Brig is serious] And here I thought working strategies and battle plans on Blackbird would be my only trouble.

I know about his hypnotic abilities, at least. I've been trying to find out how to combat them, though I haven't been much help thus far. And I've met the two of them only briefly, so I don't know much...

[Raises his eyebrows and looks over the Brig's uniform.] You're military, then?

I'm afraid I'm no use in defending against his hypnotism. The Doctor can put me under without trying. [he begins casually pacing] It would help if I knew which versions of him are here. What do ...they look like?

[he pauses] Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart.
