Talk About Timing...

While chaos was going on in the city, a level below the Living Areas, the rest of the ship was functioning normally. Stacy, apparently oblivious to goings on in the city, likely do to her malfunctioning sensors there, carried on with ship business.

||Pod Release Protocols Initating,|| Stacy's familiar voice sounded out to the upper levels, though no one was there to hear her. They were all downstairs, fighting for their lives against giant cockroaches.

In the Pod Caverns, there were the sounds of: Pop. Pop pop pop. Poppuhpoppoppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiiiissssss.

The usual condensation and mist sprayed out from cracks in the pods, they ripped open and the people inside slid out onto the floors, covered in slime. One of them, due to his mechanical nature, slid out covered in a sort of oil mixture, in a smaller body than he'd once had.

Pop. Poppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiissss.

There was no one already freed from the ship to greet them, only Stacy herself, and the empty silence of a ship caught in the middle of a crisis.

With a wet splooge noise, the Master found himself hunched over on the floor. Muggy headed from sleep, a biological necessity that he wasn't particularly accustomed to, he stared lamely at his crotch.

"Hello genitalia," he sighed woozily. Shaking the murk, he attempted to get to his feet, only to slip on the film of goo that coated him. "What the hell is going on?"

In his haze he attributed the voice to the only being in existence that could know his name, "This is a new low for you, Doctor."

He rose to examine the pod from which he was birthed, slipping once more, "Esoteric disguise, candid use of a discarded title; imprisoning your rivals in some sort of- is this an incubation booth? Honestly, it sounds like something I'd do."

Yes, yes he made a note of it for future evil.

Stacy's psychic imprint hit him like a wall of thoughts. All at once welcoming, comforting, nursing the parts of his brain that would allow him to accept her. But no, no he couldn't let her do that- he locked all of the doors in his mind that she was trying to pry open, lashed back out with his own psychic profile, and still he couldn't quite extricate Stacy's presence from his mind.

"You seem to already know which," though he mused, there could be people here. People he could use, "Harold Saxon will do. Now, to business. Who are you, Stacy? Where have you brought me?"

Apparently he'd forgotten about some of the more pressing concerns, such as his state of nudity.

He waved a hand coyly, dismissing his previous statement, "Call me Harry," as the feeling came back he began to pace in an effort to drive out the pins and needles racking his extremities, "and when I ask where, I mean beyond what I can already see for myself. What planet is this? Is this a planet?"

He still couldn't see much at all, so his pacing was kept to a narrow proximity. You never know quite how near the nearest cliff is. All the while, he tested the extent of Stacy's, whomever she may be, psychic capabilities. Sure, she could reach into his mind, but could he reach into hers?

He laughed gutturally, "I think you've already achieved such a goal. Humour me, Stacy- what gives you the authority to detain me; to make such a warning? Why have I been brought here and why should I do what you say?"

A look back to his nether-regions. Yep, still naked, "You know, I find it a lot easier to fight the power when I'm fully dressed."

He thought about contesting the first statement, but in true Time Lord fashion he found himself distracted by the shiny things.

He approached the path and knelt beside one of the boils. Prodding it studiously, he examined the way it reacted to the intrusion- yielding, but only so much. "Marvellous, incredible. You're some sort of biological construct. Incredible, incredible."

Still marvelling at the pustules, he strode down the path they marked out for him. He knew of a woman with the affinity for biology capable of constructing something like this. It would explain the pods, the samples within. But this couldn't be Ushas' work, surely?"

"I don't provide ample lighting for the bacteria within me. Or engineer clothing for that matter," his mind wandered -it was only a matter of time- towards whether this technology could be or already had been weaponised. "Do you make drinks too? I could murder a Sidecar."

"I get the feeling I shouldn't answer in the affirmative," he continued to pad down the lit path, "What I'd really like to know, aside from the things you refuse to answer, is what you've done with my possessions."

How exactly they extricated the screwdriver from him is perhaps something he didn't really want to know, given the place he'd stashed it. Yes, he'd picked up a thing or two from Captain Jack.

He did just that, relishing the sensation under his feet. The floor of this... thing pulsated in the direction that the trail was leading, as if it willed him forward.
