Departure

 To any who knew him, it seems that the Doctor from the basement is no longer with us.

What? How do you know?

[code_obsidian]

I have been working on making the TARDIS a living space for him. It is approximately two meters from where last I saw it, ripped free of all of the work we've done, and everything that was inside it is gone without a trace. There are no scrape marks on the concrete, and I've searched the garage as thoroughly as possible.

[capj_harkness]

I see.

[code_obsidian]

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. It's one time I wouldn't mind being wrong. I found that I rather liked the good Doctor.

[nothinbutherain]

Which Doctor is missing? What does "from the basement" mean? Did your missing Doctor wear a blue suit?

Gods, this is why they need actual names.

[bluesuit_handy]

He means the other one--the one with the big ears. So far as I can tell, I'm still here.

[nothinbutherain]

Hey, Doctor!

See how good I'm getting at that?

Aw, frak. I liked Big Ears. He helped me move some furniture once. But I'm glad it's not you who's gone. For what it's worth.

[bluesuit_handy]

Well, look at it this way. Now I'm the only one, and you can't get us mixed up anymore.

I just logged on to post that too. I was down there working on the wrecks.

Well, so much for the added security. Is that big old box of his gone too? I saw some others like it....I didn't know which was his.

[code_obsidian]

The box is there. Everything that was inside it is gone. It's an empty box. I suppose it could be a different one. I don't know how one would tell the difference.

I knew him. He was a very talkative man. He said many things and all of them seemed either exceedingly trivial or greatly important.

What do you think it means? That he left his vehicle? Maybe we should check the attic for his belongings.

[code_obsidian]

I don't know. I don't know that he had a choice, or... He mentioned to me once that the vehicle was sentient. Maybe he has been released, but the sentient vehicle is still a prisoner?

It might not be a bad idea. Grim work. At least that way we'd know for certain.

How much added security do we have? I've never seen anyone looking like they are in security.

[code_obsidian]

I don't think we have any security, Doctor. When you think about it, as long as we can't escape, they don't much seem to care what we do. I doubt any of us could prevent these people from doing as they wish.

[only_human]

Good point. I'd like to know more about this sentient vehicle, though. Maybe there are still traces of his having been in it. I can scan it with my tricorder, if you think that might help?

[code_obsidian]

Maybe. I doubt it will hurt anything to try.
