E.T. Returning Home

[Private to Visscher]

This is somewhat irregular, but I would like you to come with me to my universe. There is a medical problem that you might be able to help us with.

[Private to Wynter]

I am taking the opportunity Jeffers is providing to return to Gallifrey for a short time. I assume you will be doing the same?

[Open Spam]

Narvin packs up his materials in the lab, putting them safely away. Yes, Jeffers said they would only be gone for three days by Quadratus relative time, but that’s no reason not to be tidy. Besides, he has a few projects that he doesn’t really want anyone accidentally stumbling across.

[He doesn't respond quickly - a sudden attack of the nerves struck him severely, but he calmed himself knowing that his recent dissatisfaction had a great deal to do with his being cut off from his people and world.

He does make sure (as the delay is happening anyway) that he's calm when he answers.]

I would like that, yes, Coordinator.

Much has changed since your death. The Capitol isn't the same as it once was.

[The civil war saw to that.]

There was extensive destruction and the rebuilding effort has been slower than we would have hoped.

I think if it was all perfectly fine, I wouldn't be able to cope.

[He paused and isn't entirely sure whether he says the next thing in irony or hope.]

Time heals.

[That strikes him as something Brax might say, or perhaps did say once.]

Don't do that. You sound like Braxiatel.

[Wynter isn't sure what to think of Braxiatel, but is honestly a little more confused about how Narvin's so sensitive about it.]

I... would apologise, but I don't know what you mean and I'm not sure how sounding like Braxiatel suddenly makes me him?

I didn't say it made you him, any more than me quoting Rassilon would make a founder of Time Lord society. But a pithy human idiom concerning time and its effects is the sort of thing Braxiatel might say.

It didn't have human associations with me, Coordinator. It's something I heard in the Academy.

Is that so? The human influence pervades everywhere, it seems.

I feel we've wandered off into a conversational cul de sac.
