I wouldn't be me if I didn't.

But - it was the moon disease that was mentioned on the network had me think of one of my adventures involving a werewolf and the full moon effects.

[onerthes]

I certainly think that this has some merit. It's worth considering at the very least, though I don't know that we've got the information to know the truth for sure, yet.

Are you thinking of a way to test the theory?

[borntolove]

A few ideas but nothing plausible.

[In other words, involves his Tardis and/or building a giant telescope to try and clean the Moon's rays]

[onerthes]

You really should work on the plausible sorts first if possible. You realize we have somewhat limited resources around here after all.

[borntolove]

Nine hundred years, and I've never worked without my Tardis or insufficient technology.

[onerthes]

Uggh.... that will make this very difficult. [She had a tiny sense of what the Tardis was after all by now.] But let us think of it as an adventure in ...

...how do I put this?

Is there a story about a person working with foolishly poor technology to do amazing feats? Taking comically poor equipment and coaxing the impossible out of them?

[She was basically suggesting he emulate Macgyver.]

[borntolove]

Do you mean how I made a torch lighter out of soda bottles, syringe, various other small objects and chemicals?

I can do that - that's usually to get myself out of a jam. This is research. Bit different.

[onerthes]

I... hate to say this, but you may be at a point where you need to conduct your research with bubblegum, a paperclip and a broken magnifying lens.

You're a miracle worker though. I have faith in you? [She was snickering a little as she said that. Exaggeration or not, it did sound funny.]

[borntolove]

I had that car in that time in the Great Sleep self-driving because I treaded my shoelaces based on pulley principles and a paper clip to keep the balance.

[There's a slow, thank you, eye blink. He's suffering from Tardis separation mainly. It's not all about how The Tardis would make these things easier but just missing her. A deep exhale]

I miss her. A lot.

[onerthes]

... that is... impressive. [She shook her head.] I will definitely say that.

...

I've been meaning to ask. You refer to her as 'her' a great deal. Does she have a mind of her own, or is this like how ships are often called 'she' or 'her?'

[borntolove]

Yes, she's alive.

[onerthes]

I see. I had a feeling, but I didn't want to assume when it could have been either possibility. I wonder what she would do in a place like this?

[Probably go crazy in a human body?]

[borntolove]

[A thoughtful pause]

Good question.

[Could be a Police Box that doesn't move but is alive and lots of other restrictions or maybe the place would give her a human vessel. In which case - it would be scary and exciting for her]

[onerthes]

For the moment, not one that we need to answer, but something for curious thoughts in the end, I suppose. I certainly wouldn't want to put more through this place's nonsense.

[borntolove]

Agreed.

[A deep inhale]

And as much as I miss her. And want her.

[A hard swallow]

It's not right to have her in a place like this.

[And he can't explain to anyone how deep the lack of psychic connection with the Tardis, burns him and how this place could use an illusion Tardis to try to get The Doctor to hurt others.

Sorry, Vira. Someone looks rather disturbed looking in the eyes]

Talk later.

[Then hangs up]
