Engineering Core

The Engineering Core is a work of art.

And not just by Earth standards: the Doctor goes so far as to say it can be classified as art by several planetary societies. There’s just something simply gorgeous about Engineering, something he doesn’t think you need to travel all of time and space to appreciate. Not that it doesn’t help. The Doctor’s face

Kaylee is alright with being forgotten, and is having a field day of her own just watching the Doctor run about. She enjoys watching reactions to Stacy's engineering department, almost as much as she enjoys watching those directed toward Serenity's workings. It's that whole Proud Mother reasoning.

For the most part, Kaylee stays relatively close to the Doctor, ready and willing to answer any questions he might have. Once he seems to be fairly settled into his dancing around she starts to linger back to check over a few specs while they're down here, and to keep an eye on the door for when Jamie finally pops in.

The Doctor weaves around the console, looking for an area to input commands or -- or anything because he would love to know what they all do. Gooey controls, blinking globule things, things that look like a string of beads lit up from the inside, a screen with diagrams he doesn't know what they mean. The Doctor has worked his way behind a huge flesh conduit. After a while, his head pops up over the conduit as he motions Kaylee over

...we're making things up now yessss.

It's almost entertaining, the way he interacts with Stacy. Kaylee had been in a similar fit of kid-in-the-toy-store when she first woke, having to explore everything she could. She had explored the vents once, with someone. Who... The moment she's beckoned Kaylee is over at the conduit, leaning over to see just what the Doctor is trying to show her. She rests a hand on the line, mind sifting through the blueprints she's made of the ship

The Doctor shifts his weight, leg falling asleep. "Coolant going that way, fuel line here, a 'well' over there (love a good 'well', nice and open-ended) and a big scary pit in the middle."

He sounds actually happy, even with that worry about Amy and Rory, nevermind the rest of his friends throughout time and space, at the back of his mind. Learning what he can about Stacy is a way to help them, he thinks, and he's been nodding as Kaylee talked, their heads still both pressed to the conduit. It's refreshing to meet a human who has the same interest in these sorts of things as he does. The Doctor finally pulls his head away from the conduit, peering over it at the pit in the center of Engineering. It has one of those could be bottomless looks, except he highly doubts it's one of those. They're actually not as common as you would think, although they certainly exist. But most dungeons and prisons can hardly afford a somewhat bottomless pit, much less a real one. Although...if it was similar technology as Gallifrey, then maybe it could
