Timelord in Ten Forward

The Doctor is sitting on the window ledge again, one knee up and one leg hanging down, tapping on his absolutely, ordinary PADD. (That has been upgraded and hacked with a sonic screwdriver that would make The Sixteen Ways since Saturn12 split to retrograde pieces and stopped having Green Light Parties during the year of AppleBlackslash look slow even.)

There are more people, again. He doesn't need the PADD to tell him that. Every molecule of his body is attuned to every new rip of space and time that deposits them here. To every path being walked by every person who shouldn't be right here. (To the spot where Jack is, and everything is wrong.) To the nexus of this room, and the other parts of the ship that they are most drawn to.



The PADD can't tell any of Them any of that either.



But it does let him see what the Enterprise has on these new people so far.

"Nay, but one whom I truly call friend was brought here from a different place and time. A reunion some 2400 years in the making." Merlin smiled, nodding as he recalled her. "This place is like another place I knew, in my time, a place where people from many worlds and times were brought together. That place was a home to me once, for a time, and therein, I found those I could call brother and sister. "

Merlin eyed the other man. "There ever are such times, when the darkness if pushed back for some small hours and the light reigns."
