Ian sat in the garden surrounded by big encyclopaedias. He was supposed to be looking up everything that might be relevant to their current situation but he kept getting distracted. It wasn't the location that was a problem - he'd removed himself from the library on Susan's TARDIS to prevent himself from looking at other books. No, the problem was

Susan was currently in a rather good mood. Although no solid progress seemed to have been made yet, people were putting in the effort, and it was surely only a matter of time.

She was a little - more than a little - worried about C'rizz, it was true, but at the moment the conversation she'd had with the woman named Donna was at the forefront of her mind. She still wasn't sure what she had been talking about...

Wandering across the garden, the young woman spotted Ian, and decided a detour to speak to her friend would be a very good idea indeed. Maybe he could shed some light on things.

"Hello," she said, brightly, sitting down beside him. "What are you doing?"

OOC: I think I remember seeing a review you'd written for the end of Series Four, but I'm not 100%. Is Susan ok to talk about it? Just in case?

Ian looked up at the sound of such a familiar voice. "Hello, Susan," he replied, an smiled at her. "I'm helping C'rizz research what's so different about our galaxy."

He slipped a piece of paper between the pages of the book currently on his lap and closed it. "I can tell it's written after 1963, but the Doctor isn't here to tell me not to read it." Well, there were Doctors here, but not the same one. And Ian still hadn't quite got his head round the idea that they were all the same person.

OOC: Yep, I'm up-to-date with DW

"Oh, that's a good idea," she said. The more people working on it, the better, and she really couldn't think of anyone she trusted more than Ian and C'rizz. Apart from the Doctor, of course, but he probably didn't count.

"Should I tell you not to read it?" she ventured, "I'm not sure it matters anymore. If we don't fix things, the future probably won't unfold as it's supposed to."

In fact, it probably wouldn't unfold at all.

He smiled briefly at the thought of a student of his telling him what to do, even if she wasn't his student any more.

"There is that," he agreed, and then sighed. "But I hate to think we'll all end up dying here."
