Archaeology, Natural Disasters and You [Closed]
The trip down revealed that Taleen was going to be of several things, none of which were pleasant. Arid, pale with a light dusting of red from the rocks, and yellow-white grass that extended in plains all the way towards far off mountains . There was a giant gash in the land near the orb landing area, which resolved itself into a massive canyon as the party drew closer. Spider webbing out across the top of the canyon were signs that a civilization had once flourished here. Traces of broken pillars and half submerged buildings, as well as what looked like a downed ship that had embedded itself in a massive building. There was no movement visible amongst the ruins now. As the dry wind blew through the stonework, it would became clear that they were walking into a mass graveyard.
Not somewhere you'd want to spend your vacation.
For some people, this was going to be a field day.
According to the scans and what little records they had, there hasn't been a sentient being around for hundreds of years. The majority of native wildlife had moved out of the area, seeking refuge. The land looked dead already. In the sky above, several specks of light twinkled in the sky, growing bigger with each passing hour. In a few days, it will be raining fire.

Re: DAY 1 || The Master
"Oh, yes," the Master drawled. "I've had the grand tour. The dust, the featureless lumps of rock, the half-rusted junk, the meteors in the sky about to kill us all... Quite lovely." Of course, he'd explored much more than that already, but why should he reveal any of his finds to the Doctor?
Re: DAY 1 || The Master
He supposed he ought to be happy at least the Master so far hadn't managed to find anything like a cache of missiles or something. It was a bit odd to see the other Time Lord behaving and while he would like to feel like this was a permanent thing, there was simply too much history. Too many second-second-second chances, until he lost count entirely. The Doctor frowned at the Master, almost as if he was puzzled at him just being there at all and being relatively civil.
Re: DAY 1 || The Master
The Doctor simply staring and frowning at him wasn't entirely new, but it was a bit grating. The Master cocked his head and stared back.
"Suppose you're here to further your quest to become even more boring than usual," he sniffed. "Archaeology, Doctor? Really? These are new depths, even for you."
Re: DAY 1 || The Master
"Right, well, thought I'd try something...else," the Doctor stared down his nose at the Master. Okay, not his best lie. Or even his second best lie. But he was here, there were interesting things here and he was going to try to make the best of it. Soldier on, that sort of thing. "Besides, you know humans. They'd blow themselves up tripping on something."
He had to admit, he was concerned about what the Master could get up to here. From his initial couple of lurks and sniffs around, it did look like there were energy cores and partial ship remains with enough weapons parts intact that the Master could get into all sorts of trouble. It wasn't as if the man wasn't brilliant enough to figure something out. After all, he'd fixed the unfixable laser screwdriver.
Re: DAY 1 || The Master
He wondered if the Doctor even realized it, looking down on the only other true Time Lord in existence. Did he really think he was here merely for a pile of discarded junk?
"All the more reason not to tag along," the Master observed. "Not that the death of a few humans was ever all that tragic to me in the first place."
Might wrap this up, if that's cool?
He gave the Master one of those half disproving, mostly disappointed looks. Remarks like that only reminded him how different they were. That the Master could be as brilliant as he wanted and yet there was that...his quite frankly unfortunate view of humans and, the Doctor suspected, life in general that didn't include himself. The Doctor frowned at the Master and on second thought, gave him another frown because honestly, one wasn't good enough as far as he was concerned. That man! He could be so much if he wanted to!
"Well, I don't plan on there being any human deaths," the Doctor said icily. "So I imagine it'd be rather dull for you unless you can find something else to keep yourself busy with."
Works for me :)
And then he turned his back on the other Time Lord, abruptly, and dug into his pocket for another dose of Anetrizine. "Don't worry, Doctor," he said, placing the hypospray to his neck. "Your precious humans are safe from me. I've got infinitely more interesting things to do with my time."
