[RL - Lockon, Nena, Tieria, CB as a whole - Damage Control is my middle name!]

[To say that the past few days had been... interesting... would have been an understatement even by the Doctor's standards. Dealing with unstable and unsavoury people was part of his everyday life, but when said person was someone you saw as a son, under the effects of a virus, it was rather different. Especially when said person was also intent on

[Lockon was trying his level best to contain his bleak mood himself. As if it wasn't enough that he'd managed to royally fuck up with just about everyone he knew, he'd apparently managed to drive Tieria to the point where the poor guy was apparently having some sort of breakdown. Guilt weighed heavy on his mind and on his heart. It wasn't even the first time he'd hurt his friends, let alone Tieria - the fact that this time it wasn't technically by choice didn't make him feel any less at fault.

That alone might be enough to give him his distracted air, but there was a sadness tinging thoughts that had nothing to do with the situation at hand. He was going back. Lockon had no idea whether this was his full return to Celestial Being, but he somehow couldn't imagine security allowing for more trips back and forth from the TARDIS than were strictly necessary. He got the feeling that once they landed, his days in the TARDIS were over. And while he'd wanted to get back to work, wanted to pilot a Gundam again...he was really going to miss

[The Doctor grabbed his long coat off the rail and shrugged it on, putting his hands in his coat pockets and looking around at the TARDIS for a bit before answering. Really, he was trying to postpone the moment of goodbye. Just like he always did. It was silly; they'd have the community, each other's contact numbers. And he was practically a member of this organisation anyway by now. But still...

He nodded, hitching on a grin.]

Ohhh, I think since I took my time getting you here, I can spare a few moments to poke my nose in places, don't you?

[He nodded towards the door, strolling towards it and throwing it open in his usual carefree way.]

[ Nena had been watching the base's cameras, and had shot down to the cargo bay in which the TARDIS had ended up as soon as she saw it begin to materialize. She made it just in time to lean comfortably against a large stack of metal crates, looking as though she'd been there all along, although she was still breathing a bit heavily from her trip. As the two men exited the TARDIS, she looked equal measures annoyed, awed, shocked, and like a kid on Christmas morning as she started speaking ]

You guys had better hurry it up. I think he just flipped his desk.

[Lockon had no problems with postponing the moment of goodbye, and resisted the urge to take one last look around the TARDIS' control room as he followed the Doctor to the door. There were more important things at stake right now.

...Surprise Welcome Nena was an eager reminder of those important things. Lockon couldn't help but blink in shock at her words. Tieria doing something that extreme? Tieria? It was clearly even worse than he thought. He moved forward determinedly.]

Right. Where is he now?

MEANWHILE, AFTER LOCKON WENT TO CONFRONT HIS DOOM:

[timey_wimey]

[See the Doctor, Nena. See the Doctor standing outside the door, putting his hands into his pockets and pointedly looking at the ceiling as if it's the most interesting thing in the world right now. And then he looks straight at her, expectantly.]

So while they're sorting this mess out, what is there for an old Time Lord to do on a secret base like this?

[entthront]

[ shrugs ] Wanna see a Gundam?

[timey_wimey]

[looks for a moment as if he's considering... then, grins]

Well, why not?

[entthront]

I know, right? Who wouldn't want to see them? You can use the bar if you want. [ jerks a thumb at the handlebar on the wall, and kicks off the floor to float down the hallway
