[RP] This is happening for your pleasure, at your leisure, use your evil, when you want

The Rani is working in her lab on a very-slightly-radioactive viral tag easily scannable from a distance. She's still tweaking it so it'll present no symptoms and resist mutation, but as long as she's here, she may as well map out the intricacies of human disease transmission. What else are you going to do with a good-sized human city and its ( Read more... )

Elsewhere entirely, Thane is deeply unhappy with the current state of affairs. April gone, and not just gone but escaped, one of his prisoners down, which leaves him with Sato and the Doctor - and Hart, but he gets the distinct feeling that the Doctor cares nothing for Hart, not that Thane blames him - and that's not the rich variety he was envisioning when he grabbed the Doctor in the first place.

So now he's scanning for Time Lords. He's sure the Doctor mentioned them in his journal - the Rani and the Vesmier, and another Doctor. Unfortunately, no matter how he boosts the scans on his two wrist devices, he can only pick up one Time Lord not in his custody. Maybe being stuck in a watch camouflages one, but there should be two left in the field anyway....

But whatever. One is good enough. So, arming himself with the concussion pistol and an amped-up DIKO, in he goes.

The Rani has always been, at least in this regeneration, good at situational awareness. Battlefield regenerations tend to be good for that. And she registers the brief tickle along her senses that tells her a Time Agent is about to teleport in - a few of them decided to meddle in the War for their own profit, or whatever it was they were after, and she had the unfortunate task of having to deal with them from time to time.

It usually ended up more unfortunate for them than her.

She crosses the lab, picking out a vial of something toxic to humans with a fast access into the bloodstream, but fast-degrading in contact with atmospheric oxygen and nontoxic to Time Lords and dogs. It's enough to fill the spare seconds before the remat takes place, and-

-and Thane has his gun up within the second and shoots her full in the chest as she's turning, knocking her back into a containment module and closing the distance. Another shot to keep her down, and he'll just get her cuffed and extracted-

-and it seems that Thane has not quite tweaked that DIKO to the extent he needs, because in addition to not affecting Time Lords? It doesn't affect genetically-modified super-dogs Time Lords may just happen to keep lying around.

Specimen 139 is so not down with this. This guy comes in, feeling all paradoxical, and attacks her mistress? This guy GOES DOWN. She's absolutely silent when she attacks, aside from the scrabbling of claws on the concrete, and then there's close to 40 kilograms of muscle-density-increased dog hitting his side.

And then the barking begins. And the snapping jaws, and S139 is going for a neckbite, if she can get it.
