A sea of crashing, jagged waves splinted out in a thousand directions like crystals in a mine. The scene had movement, violence and beauty, all fighting with each other over which ideal was truest. It was also completely still

"Bingo!" The Doctor said, spinning the scanner back into place. "The fifteenth broken moon of the Medusa Cascade. I suppose it wasn't terribly difficult to guess," he reasoned, rubbing his jaw. "It is particularly broken up. But that's what makes it interesting."
He hopped around the console, feet moving fast. He grabbed his coat from where it had been casually thrown over some coral.
"Well, it's a bit of luck, really, being here." The Doctor wasn't quite looking at the Master as he slid on his coat. "Care to go out?"
The Doctor sighed inwardly but just followed him out. The ground didn't crunch under his trainers. Instead, it sounded like a soft shattering. Something delicate and distant.
"The TARDIS emits a superheated argon gas barrier which-" the Doctor began to explain the force fields, then stopped. Almost embarrassed, he said, "Sorry, old habit. Anyway."
He suddenly noticed an outcropping he hadn't seen before and smiled. With a, "Oh, I don't remember that one," he promptly wandered towards the new formation.
The new outcropping was a rather beautiful one. It had been a direct hit, resulting in what almost looked like railway tracks leading up to an overflow of bright, sprayed out in a display like waves. The Doctor was examining them with his glasses on.
"Lovely, isn't it?" he said as the Master reached him. He turned to the other, tilting his head. "It doesn't look like another moon crash. Probably debris, I imagine."
Gallifreyan words fell with ease from his lips as he spoke, his mind whirling in a language of equations.
"Well, we could follow the tracks." The Doctor hopped over a small barrier made from the crash and stood over the streaks. Whatever it was had fallen hard and dragged across the ground for some time. "Of course, it could have been something old from the Rift here. It could have been anything."
He looked up at the Master, awaiting his assessment. For all intents and purposes, the Doctor seemed to only want to explore.
"Oh, come on, Master," the Doctor said, walking backward along the tracks as he spoke. He kept his eyes on the Master. "Doesn't it interest you at all? Something from that old rift crashing into his moon and just staying out here forever? No one would ever find it, really."
His hands strayed into his pockets and his steps were casual and light.
