Intro-ish Post (With Options)

[not_the_question]

This Doctor had been getting settled in on board the Enterprise - well as much as he can. He still baulks at the jabs he had to be given, but since they didn't contain anything that was harmful to him, he allowed for them.

Now, he has an agenda. He knows the TARDIS is somewhere on board and now that he has a map and listings, he's going to go there to find it.


The Doctor is making his way down to the cargo hold, but going about it the long way around. May as well investigate the ship on his way. If he can get to the TARDIS, he won't be staying long anyway, so he might as well explore something new as he goes along.

It's all terribly human. Basic, really. And they think it's the best thing. About the only thing he's really interested in is this Q character. He doesn't mind humans most of the time. He just doesn't like being 'stuck' with them. And there's so much humanity here - with nothing to escape it.

B: TARDIS Cargo hold Plot: Open To All
After his adventure with Trever and his cat, the Doctor finally arrives at the cargo hold that is marked as containing the TARDIS. He sonics his way in (whether or not that was necessary) and looks around. Some of the items look familiar and others seem alien - even to him - which is saying something. It isn't long before he sees the TARDIS, standing there in all her glory. He confidently strides towards her. When he gets there, he gives a loving stroke to her. "Hello, Old Girl. Now, let's see about getting out of here."


The Doctor needed to vent his anger and frustration at not being able to get back to his own universe. So he made his way to the training room. He had told Clara he had cheated against Robin Hood with his archery skills. But that doesn't mean he's positively rubbish at it. He just wasn't sure of his aim at a ship with rotating bits. If he were to be perfectly honest, which he rarely is, he just needs a bit of practice. He was disappointed that he couldn't get into the Armoury, so he would have to make-do with one of the holodecks. Pity. It's never quite as good as the real thing. Now, if only someone else with archery skills were around. Nothing like a little bit of friendly competition when it comes to brushing up on skills.

That is a very scary thought. The last thing Steve thinks his planet needs is an outside threat. They have enough issues trying to keep the ones currently living there in order.

"So you don't age?" Steve can do the math, twelve bodies over two thousand years means the Doctor can live in a body much longer than a human but if he's only been this old once or twice... He's not trying to be nosey, but simply understand. Steve is nothing if not very, very curious.

Steve's curiosity brings him to another question. "So beside the body swapping and how old you live, is there anything else that makes you different from humans? I assume for the time and space travel you need the TARDIS, or is that not the case?"

"Oh I age. I should've been clearer. This is the oldest I've been when 'starting out.' I'll only get older until I regenerate."

He grimaces. He hadn't thought of it like that. And it's not a comforting thought. He considers the last set of questions.

"Not the question. The question is: What makes you different from Time Lords. We came first."

It's tough being the last of the Oldest and Most Mighty Race in the universe.

"Well she's not necessary. I mean, there are other ways. But the TARDIS is like a sports car and most other methods are like space hoppers."

Having travelled in ways other than by TARDIS, he's developed very strong opinions on the matter.

"That makes this time a rather short turn around doesn't it?" If he's only regenerated twelve times it can't be that much fun.

Steve shrugs at that. Details. "Okay, how am I different from you?"

"But still you can't do it on your own." Steve tilts his head and looks at the TARDIS. He'd really like to get a look inside.

Have a glare from the Doctor. "If I take care of it properly, I can easily live for over 400 years in one body."

He always had run through his bodies rather quickly. But on to science. "You only have one heart, for starters. You can't see time or how it fluctuates. Most of your species has lost telepathic abilities. I could go on, but I think that gives you a good enough idea."

And he's just not even going to acknowledge that last one. Because, he proved that he doesn't have access to the TARDIS - against both of their wills. And that just hurts.
