Sobek the Immortal [Closed]

Planet Designation: Kalimba Status: Terrestrial, H-class.
Non-sentient life: Extensive flora and fauna.
Semi-Sentient Life: Unknown
Sentient Life: Ruins and step pyramids suggest the presence of intelligent life at some point. Currently: Unknown.
Water: 70.2% of the planet's surface. Heavy rainfall/monsoons.
Climate: Earth-like.
Landscape: Primarily jungle and swamp, some plains, severe arctic conditions in northern and southern poles.
Air: Type I (breathable)
Sky: Blue-green.
Warnings: Medium to high levels of megafauna. Watch your step. Conditions in the atmosphere make several forms of orbital scans and equipment unreliable.
Mission: Archaeological investigation of step pyramids and ruins, investigate for signs of source of abnormal energy signature in target area.


The first thing the group would notice was that Kalimba's air was humid and heavy, with a light breeze. The morning had long since burned off most of the mist, and in the distance, clouds lazily drifted onwards towards the horizon. The typhoon season was a long ways off.

The undergrowth was tangled and dense, seemingly impassable in places. Vibrant flowers and vines took up residence where some of the tree cover faltered. With limited sunlight available, it was every plant for themselves. Disturbed by the archaeology group, "birds", each easily half the size of a person and more salamander than avian suddenly took to the air in a flash of brilliantly colored wings. They were gone almost instantly, slicing through the air and leaving only the ear-splitting shriek behind.

The hill sloped down. The cover of trees broke as they came out onto the stone remains of path that must have once been heavily used. Now, just like everywhere else, massive roots and tanglers tore at the ground, slowly swallowing any signs of civilization back within itself. There were trees of all shapes and sizes as far as the eye could see, a rolling wave of jungle and rainforest. Tan and dirty gray step pyramids, all more massive than those found on Earth, and the occasional obelisk rose through the canopy cover like claws, dotting the landscape.

Stac's scans indicated much of the planet was covered in these structures, with the largest in this location. Aside from the archaeological mission, her scans also indicated the presence of an abnormal power that may be of interest.

And the Master 'obeyed', falling to his knees with a soft grunt. He swung his head around to stare at Sobek and for a split second it wasn't just surprise on his face but rage. The sort of rage a small child might express when a favorite toy was taken from him. All too quickly it slid away, replaced by a simpering smile.

"Of course. My apologies."

'Entertainment'. He didn't much like the sound of that. The Master rose, his gaze slipping surreptitiously from Sobek to the Doctor and back again. He wanted to stay longer, to make the Doctor writhe and scream... but he couldn't. He wasn't allowed. That burning resentment returned to his expression as soon as Sobek turned his back. It was one thing to wait-- it was another to be commanded to wait. And yet another to be corrected in front of the Doctor.

It was humiliation or death, and for a moment the Master hung back. When the guards prodded him forward, though, he followed suit reluctantly, trailing behind Sobek but his eyes hungry and fixed on the Doctor as he exited the chamber.
