Empty Hallowed Halls [Open]

[morphitudinous]

How could Billy have missed this heart-wrenchingly familiar structure on all his prior trips to the City?

On a test flight of the RADBUG's improved engine, he'd happened to turn his head just the right way and spot the unmistakable scroll-like tops of a building that had been his second home for so long. The second it was spotted in the distance, he changed course and brought the car into a descent. Moments later he parked just outside the ground-level entrance.

So the only confirmed remnants of my world are myself, my Zord, the RADBUG, and the Command Center. Perhaps Tenaya as well, but her world seems to be radically altered. I highly doubt that Zordon and Alpha are inside waiting for me, but I need to investigate.

It pained him to admit it, but he was afraid of what he would (or wouldn't) find. But a Ranger never backed away from a potentially tricky situation. Even if they had to call for backup, which Billy decided would be wise when entering an abandoned building. In seconds, a quick note was typed out on his omnicom and posted.

As Billy studied the exterior he hadn't seen in what he guessed must have been almost a year, he turned his Power Coin in his palm. It seemed to feel more charged than usual. Likely to be a low-key reaction to its location, he thought.

"I'll keep that in mind," Billy says.

And he's left to smile again, gazing down at his feet for a moment. "You're intelligent in ways that are more practical than my tinkering in the lab, and now you're learning that skill set as well. I'm sure they're happy about that. And you're a great friend---who wouldn't like that?"

Right now, Billy is thankful that the Doctor Jamie met was wise enough to let his friend stick around.

"Anyway, I can't wait to get started. Who's all going on this mission?"

Jamie isn't entirely convinced happy would be the right word, but since he hasn't really discussed the matter with either of the Doctors just yet, he's also not entirely sure what the right word would be. There's been so much else to talk about, and focus on - like looking for the TARDIS.

"Aye, well, the four of us, and the Doctors, and...did ye meet Rose? Or his daughter?"

He doesn't know if either of them happened to run into Billy while they were looking for the Doctor or not.

"I may have seen them in the crowd, but it's been difficult to talk to everyone. Were they his traveling companions as well?"

Billy's still smiling, but this is beginning to feel somewhat awkward. The Doctors didn't seem to have a problem with Billy, but he's a relative stranger intruding on something private to all of them.

[bonnypiperlad]

"Rose was." He's not at all sure about Jenny. It never really came up, what with the surprise at finding out she was his daughter and her need to find the Time Lord.

Jamie's of the opinion that there isn't really any problem with helping. Besides, Billy is one of his best friends on the ship, and Jamie wants him to come along. But maybe Billy would feel better if some of the other crew besides Kaylee came too.

"Hey, do ye think Renne might be able to help, too? He might be able to...smell the TARDIS or something, aye?"

[morphitudinous]

"All right. I'll meet up with them as soon as I can." He intends to make this process as smooth as possible. But when Renne is mentioned, he can't suppress a smile.

"I believe so. He knows its scent and can track it down. If it happened to be stuck behind a small space, he could reach places that we couldn't."

[bonnypiperlad]

"I'll see if he can come along as well, then." Privately, he's not at all sure that Renne might not just show up anyway - either because he's curious as to what the Doctors are up to or due to picking up some of Billy's excitement. And he's a little curious to see if either of the Doctors are the ones Renne mentioned knowing. Asking would take care of a lot of different details.

"I can let ye know when we're going over the Omnicoms, if I don't run into ye sooner?"
