\u201cAdjusting heading,\u201d reported a blonde man on the bridge of a starship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy are we going back there?\u201d muttered another blonde man. \u201cWe evacuated that planet for a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOkay, at this point, I\u2019m just repeating myself,\u201d groaned the captain of the ship of blondes. \u201cA science team was last reported there and we have to conduct a retrieval mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019re probably dead already!\u201d protested the second man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, would YOU wanna let them stay there?!\u201d argued the helmsman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll right, all right!\u201d called the Captain. \u201cLet\u2019s not start an argument. High Command already assigned us this mission and we\u2019re too close to our target planet to turn back now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cApproaching the coordinates,\u201d said the helmsman. His brow then furrowed. \u201c\u2026Hang on\u2026why aren\u2019t their orbital defenses activating?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTevik\u2019s right,\u201d said the second blonde. \u201cThey should be shooting at us by now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Scan for any ships and orbital defenses, Commander Demna,\u201d the Captain ordered the second man. Demna ran his scans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026The sensors must be faulty!\u201d he protested. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing! No ships, no satellites, nothing!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCaptain Tavis, sir, the readings I\u2019m getting from the planet aren\u2019t matching what we know of our target,\u201d said Tevik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPut it up on screen,\u201d ordered the Captain, Tavis. Tevik pulled up the view of the planet and everyone blinked in surprise. \u201c\u2026That can NOT be possible,\u201d muttered Tavis. \u201cDemna, I think you may be onto something about our sensors being faulty. Have Engineering-.\u201d An alarm then cut out his order. \u201cAnother intruder alert?!\u201d asked Tavis. Demna checked his instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEngineering\u2019s reported an alien noise,\u201d he said. \u201cSecurity\u2019s down there now and\u2026hang on, that doesn\u2019t make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d asked Tavis. Demna turned in his chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSecurity and Engineering are claiming that the TARDIS is aboard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I\u2019m going down there,\u201d decided Tavis. \u201cDemna, you\u2019re in command of the bridge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSir!\u201d replied Demna as he and Tavis saluted each other. Tavis then left the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Security forces were aiming their stun guns at the blue box when Tavis arrived. \u201c\u2026Sure looks like that box the Doctor, Ian, Susan, and Barbara arrived in,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSir, can we really be sure it\u2019s the TARDIS?\u201d asked the lead Security Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019ll find out,\u201d replied Tavis. He knocked on the door. \u201cGreetings,\u201d he called aloud. \u201cI am Captain Tavis of the starship Bettan<\/em>. You are currently in the Engineering Section of my ship. If you could step out of the box and identify yourself-.\u201d Tysar was the first to rush out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cT-Tavis?!\u201d she asked. Tavis\u2019 eyes goggled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Tysar?!\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGods, it IS you!\u201d cheered Tysar as happy tears flowed from her eyes. She pulled Tavis into a hug as another Thal waved a machine over her. He looked at his readings and the genetic match confirmed that it was Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTysar, where have you been?!\u201d asked Tavis. \u201cYou vanished three years ago and-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ll tell you everything soon!\u201d promised Tysar. \u201cFor now, how many of you here want to see our greatest hero\u2019s current face?\u201d The surrounding Thals nodded. \u201cThought so!\u201d Tysar turned towards the TARDIS. \u201cDoctor! Come on out! We\u2019re among my people!\u201d The Doctor stepped outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, this IS a Thal ship!\u201d chuckled the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor, it\u2019s a great honor to meet you!\u201d bid Tavis. \u201cSorry for the weapons pointing at you. I can assure you, they\u2019re just stun weapons. \u2026Speaking of which. All of you, stand down!\u201d The security forces holstered their weapons. \u201cYou\u2019ll have to pardon our jumpiness,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re on a dangerous mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Bettan<\/em>\u2019s a science ship, last I checked,\u201d remarked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCould someone fill me in on how Tysar and Tavis know each other?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, he\u2019s my baby brother,\u201d replied Tysar. \u201cWe were together before I ended up in Gotham.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAh!\u201d The Doctor smiled. \u201cWell, a really good thing I was tracking chronal surges, then! Tavis, was it? The reason for Tysar\u2019s vanishing act was because an energy wave plucked her out of your time and put her somewhere else in time and space. Specifically, 21st century Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGood heavens!\u201d swore Tavis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI had to scavenge for food!\u201d shuddered Tysar. \u201cI am NEVER touching hot dogs again!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSir, do you think that our stowaways are telling the truth?\u201d asked a security officer. \u201cThat they were plucked out of their times by some energy wave like Tysar here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHer return DOES give their story a little more credibility,\u201d replied Tavis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou mean we\u2019re not the only stowaways here?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo. In fact, come with me. I think you might be able to prove that they\u2019re telling the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tavis led the Doctor and Tysar to a room on the lower decks of the ship. He then keyed in a command and the door opened. Two people rose from the couch they were sitting on, one male and one female. \u201cHello again, Captain,\u201d greeted the man. \u201cStill don\u2019t believe our story?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOddly enough,\u201d said Tavis, \u201cI have two people that may confirm your story, Mr. Myers.\u201d He stepped aside to reveal the Doctor and Tysar. The Doctor\u2019s eyes lit up when she saw the woman, recognizing the tan skin and dark green hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSETSUNA!\u201d she greeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor!\u201d yelped the woman, Setsuna Meiou, AKA Sailor Pluto! \u201cI don\u2019t believe it! It\u2019s you again! \u2026You\u2019re wearing the wrong body.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, I\u2019m wearing the right body, but not necessarily in the right order,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cSo, odd question, but were you plucked out of your point in space and time by a chronal surge and plopped here on the Bettan<\/em>, spooking the Thals here a bit?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s correct,\u201d replied Setsuna. \u201cAnd so was Mr. Myers here.\u201d She gestured to the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Should I know you?\u201d the Doctor asked the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEric Myers, Time Force,\u201d greeted the man. The Doctor\u2019s eyes widened again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Quantum Ranger himself!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019ve heard of me?\u201d asked Eric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou and your Time Force Ranger friends!\u201d replied the Doctor. She turned back to Tavis. \u201cThey\u2019re telling the truth! They\u2019re not here to sabotage anything!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExcellent!\u201d said Tavis. \u201cNow\u2026why are chronal surges popping up in the first place?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat would be because of the Grouping rearing its ugly head again,\u201d explained the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Grouping?\u201d asked Setsuna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen time and space are getting rearranged?\u201d asked Eric. \u201cThat\u2019s what I heard had happened last time the Grouping was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, but now there\u2019s not as many races that can mitigate the damage,\u201d answered the Doctor. \u201cThe Flux saw to that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI was afraid of that,\u201d sighed Setsuna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow, we need to get you two back to your own times,\u201d said the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI can handle that, Doctor,\u201d assured Setsuna. \u201c\u2026But perhaps we can help the Bettan<\/em> and her crew with the current problem?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo you DO know what the mission is,\u201d grumbled Tavis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat mission is that?\u201d asked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone was brought to the bridge. Demna and Tevik saw the new arrivals. \u201cSir?\u201d asked Demna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBelieve it or not, their story checks out,\u201d replied Tavis. \u201cThe Doctor here proved that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHello!\u201d greeted the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHold on, that\u2019s THE Doctor?!\u201d asked Demna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo autographs, please,\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDemna?!\u201d protested Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYOU!\u201d snarled Demna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTavis, why is HE on this mission?!\u201d asked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe does good work, Tysar. You know this,\u201d replied Tavis. \u201cAnd this is my helmsman, Lieutenant Tevik.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA pleasure,\u201d greeted Tevik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor, I\u2019m about to display a set of coordinates,\u201d said Tavis. \u201cPerhaps you can tell us if you recognize them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a while since I read Thal Standard coordinates,\u201d replied the Doctor, \u201cbut I think I can get by.\u201d Tavis punched up the coordinates and the Doctor and Tysar\u2019s faces fell to horror. \u201c\u2026No!\u201d whispered the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo way would New Davius High Command send the Bettan<\/em> there!\u201d pleaded Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen you DO know the planet we\u2019re supposed to be orbiting,\u201d said Tavis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m afraid I don\u2019t,\u201d admitted Eric. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with the planet?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s our ancestral homeworld,\u201d explained Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Skaro!\u201d hissed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSkaro?! Wait, isn\u2019t that the homeworld of the-?!\u201d Eric yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Daleks, yes,\u201d confirmed Setsuna. She then recalled something. \u201c\u2026Hang on, you said you\u2019re supposed to be orbiting Skaro, Captain Tavis?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s correct,\u201d replied Tavis. \u201cBut we haven\u2019t been fired on and\u2026well\u2026\u201d He pulled up the planet on the viewscreen. The Doctor blinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Skaro\u2019s still a red, radioactive canker of a planet, yes?\u201d she asked as she checked the readings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWith Dalek ships still patrolling the skies and orbital defenses permanently set to kill any intruding vessel,\u201d confirmed Tavis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo why haven\u2019t we been shot at for one thing?\u201d asked the Doctor. \u201cWhere are the ships and defense satellites? Why are the radiation levels only slightly higher than normal? And, most importantly, why is the planet on the screen yellow with just one green patch just south of the equator?! Are you sure you set the coordinates correctly?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ve triple-checked my math, Doctor,\u201d replied Tevik. \u201cMaybe there\u2019s something wrong with the sensors or the Daleks are trying something to disguise Skaro. Either way, we need to locate a science team on that planet and either retrieve them or\u2026or their bodies, as is most likely the case, if that planet IS Skaro.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026I\u2019ll give your sensors a repair service,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cMeanwhile, I hope everyone is armed for a quick getaway.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cAdjusting heading,\u201d reported a blonde man on the bridge of a starship. \u201cWhy are we going back there?\u201d muttered another blonde man. \u201cWe evacuated that planet for a reason.\u201d \u201cOkay, at this point, I\u2019m just repeating myself,\u201d groaned the captain of the ship of blondes. \u201cA science team was last reported there and we have […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6809,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[959,1081],"tags":[35,963,962,1059,262],"class_list":["post-7931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-doctor-who-crossings","category-series-6","tag-doctor-who","tag-fan-companion","tag-fan-doctor","tag-power-rangers","tag-sailor-moon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7931"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7931\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7932,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7931\/revisions\/7932"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
