Humanities Last Chapter

((Closed to myself, Sonya, and Theta))

Tom woke and got dressed as he did every day, his mom nagging him to get up to get ready for school. And of course he did, rushing down the stairs and snagging the pop tart on the way out before bursting through the door. "Love you mum" He exclaimed as he closed the door behind him and peered upwards; the pop tart feel to the side walk beneath his feet. His mouth laid wide open, his eyes and body frozen in complete shock and utter amazement.

Before his eyes hovered a large ship, it's cockpit glaring down at the people standing below it where inside, a dark figure wearing a mask connected by several pipes stood, overlooking the entire operation. "I will show him. Doctor. Ha! Try reviving your precious humans from this!!!" Baltazar proclaimed, yanking down a lever to his left where, almost immediately, the bottom of the ship opened up letting a green gas ooze out and down to the people below. First they coughed, then they choked, then they fell and never got up. As the ship rose up until entering the space above Earth, the bodies of the people below laid still, still as a rock and cold as ice.

London, New York, Beijing, Toyko, Berlin, Paris, everywhere, every city the gas spread and the same result always came. People fell down and never got back up. For once in a decade, the Earth rotated still, no car horns, no satellite transmissions, just complete silence. A silence not shared within the doors of the TARDIS where The Doctor bickered with Sonya about the condition of the scanner for the fifth time in several minutes. The Doctor laid underneath the central console, the scanner in one hand and a handful of wires in the other with his sonic screwdriver held firmly in his mouth as he repaired the scanner with both hands. "I told you, the scanner will be ready in a few minutes!" The Doctor grumbled through holding the screwdriver with his teeth, eyes adjusted and fixed on the scanner as they peered through the lenses of his glasses, "It's not like you use it properly anyways".

"Why should I bother with the scanner if you haven't fixed it in how many years?" Sonya snapped back, her arms and legs folded up as she sat in the jumper seat across from him. "Much better to step outside and take a look for myself. Too safe, using the scanner, where's your sense of adventure gone?" Rolling her eyes, she leaned her head back and stared up at the ceiling above her for a moment before looking back over at him with a confused look on her face. "Hold on, you said it would be ready in a few minutes nearly ten minutes ago! Your sense of time is off, old man. Might want to get that clock of yours checked before it's springs wear out on you."

Slipping from the seat, she crouched down on the floor next to where he lay, peering under the console as he worked, clicking her tongue in disapproval at the jumble of wires she spotted. "And really, is it too much to ask for you to try and keep things tidy under here? Look at this, you have your power couplings all tangled up with the transmitters! How do you even know what your doing under there?"

((Bump))

"What do you mean, the Chameleon Circuit is broken?!?" Theta paced back and forth agitatedly while his TARDIS tried to calm him down "How does it even break? It's not like you're powered by wires or anything; it's virtually impossible!"

The TARDIS reminded him again that yes, it was possible, and yes, her Chameleon Circuit had broken down. Maybe it would have been a problem if had just gotten stuck, but no, her exterior would change every five minutes, and it was annoying. It had almost given the Timelord a hearts attack when he stepped out onto New Earth and there was nothing but a free-standing door behind him.

"I guess we could turn it off for now...but it's so boring! No offence, of course, but without the Circut you just kinda look like a can. A large, grey, time-travelling can"

This spawned an argument between the two. While both didn't like their situation, the TARDIS didn't appreciate being called names, even if it was by her Timelord. It was this that led to their attention being diverted from driving, and this that led them to bump into the Doctor's TARDIS. It wasn't that big of a bump, mind, but it was enough to snap them out of their stupor.

"Wassat?" Theta dashed over to the controls, bringing up a panel with the view of outside; a big blue police box. The Doctor's TARDIS. Theta grinned.

"Would you fancy that? C'mon Lady, let's pop in for a visit!"

Inside the Type 40, came the sound of a TARDIS materialising. In front of Sonya and the Doctor, a shape slowly formed...

A hotdog stand?

((Sorry, I had to XD))

"My sense of time is completely fi-" The Doctor halted his answer at the sight of an appearing hot dog stand to the far left of the control console and pulled himself out from under the console to get a better look. "It's..it's a TARDIS" He concluded after eyeing the hot dog stand for a moment then turning his body and attention back to the scanner which he hit and it roared to life, "Ha! See! What'd i tell you! Fixed!". Twirling his sonic screwdriver in between his fingers, The Doctor looked back over to Sonya with a smirk grin displayed prominently on his face, "Told you i could fix it. Next is the power cords..oh and it's meant to look that..jumbled....it's part of the desktop..theme...". Coming to a stop, The Doctor tucked his sonic screwdriver away and hopped over to the hot dog stand, studying it's entrance before opening it just slightly then sticking his head through, "Hello".

"Oh yes, your sense of time is perfect, that's why we always end up twenty or thirty years in the future or past of where you originally tried to land at." Sonya snorted, her arms crossed over her chest before an odd sound went through the TARDIS and pulled her attention away from him over towards the Hot Dog stand with a curious eyebrow raised up. "Since when did Lady let other TARDIS's in?" With a slight frown, she cast a look over at the scanner before shaking her head and striding over towards the TARDIS and peering in over the Doctor's shoulder. "Who the hell thought this would be a good idea? Honestly."

Theta looked over at the door, waving cheerfully. Due to the hotdog stand exterior, where the door was on the top, and the TARDIS interior, where the door was on the side, gravity was all topsy screwy, with one 'side' of the supposed stand being his floor. Rassilon, it was confusing when she changed things up like that.

"Hi there! I was just seeing if you could, er...help with something" he flinched backwards as the console sparked, sending blue sparks flying everywhere. The outside of the TARDIS changed to a wooden wardrobe, like the one in Narnia. Theta laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his neck and feeling like an idiot.

"The chameleon circuit kind of broke"

The Doctor smiled as he listened to Theta then glanced over his shoulder at Sonya as the hot dog stand flinched into a wardrobe, "The only person mad enough" he replied to her with a chuckle before entering fully into Theta's TARDIS. "Blimey" The Doctor commented as he approached the control console, his hand covering up part of his face defensively to make sure the sparks did not hit his face, "What'd you do? It looks like several systems are shot. Gravitational alignment, Chameleon Circuit interface". With his attention strictly stuck and focused on the control console, The Doctor flipped out his sonic screwdriver and opened up the hot and sparking panel of the console. Immediately upon removing the top portion, a smoke cloud rushed upwards with a few sparks. The Doctor coughed and waved the smoke away from his face as he set down the part, "What's...what's this green gas. Sonya come look at this. The only way i see you getting this is flying through a gas giant with your doors open...don't...don't tell me you did that".

Sonya wandered over to the console, the sleeve of her sweater held over her nose and mouth as a makeshift mask once she neared the cloud of gas and leaned forward. "Oh what has the bad man done to you?" She murmured to herself, eyeing the fried circuits closely and straightening up. "Why the hell would you go flying around with your doors open? I mean it's one thing to do it while your in orbit, but actually flying while they're open causes all sorts of troubles, like this." Waving a hand at the sparking console, she dropped the other from her face and wagged a finger at Theta. "I can help, but I can't promise anything, this is all completely different from what I'm used to but I'm sure I can do something to fix this... Somehow."

Shaking her head and mumbling under her breath words that sounded suspiciously like 'Bloody Time Lords and their machines', Sonya returned to studying the console under closer inspection, holding her breath when another puff of gas floated up into her face.

((I am waiting on Theta lol))

((I am too >.< It's been her turn for two weeks))

((You want to give her one last week before we continue? Cause i like this idea and i don't want it to die because we are sitting here waiting))

((Give her until Wed I say. I'm excited about this RP too myself. If she isn't back by then, we go on for a few more replies before waiting another week or so. Gives us time to set it up and such))

((SORRY SORRY, soooo soooo sorry for not replying T.T))

Theta crossed his arms with a huff, eyeing the cloud of green smoke that hovered above his TARDIS's console. It certainly wasn't an appealing sight, the console, with all it's smoke and steam and sparks. It looked as if it had gone through a black hole...or more specifically, a gas giant.

"I didn't mean to. I didn't even fly into it; it flew into me! Who knew living stars could be so violent? Anyways, there was this wormhole, and it-" Thet continued rambling about his encounter, and how it wasn't his fault, it was the star's, but the point was made obvious. Like the Doctor had guessed, he had flown through a gas giant. With the doors open.
