[Set to right after the explosion.] You- the ship! There's something happening to the ship.

[He's sounding panicked. About as panicked as he was when Frostmourne was on the loose.] The old girl! She's scared! I can hear it! I need to- Admiral! Take me back at once! Admiral please!

They're eating it alive!.

[Private to the Admiral | Text]

Please send Rex somewhere else. Please let him leave. I don't ask for him. I ask for all the people he's been harming. Please just allow it, let the world be his salvation.

What? Some of us are dead in the real world! What happens to us if the Barge is destroyed?

[championoftime]

I don't know! You might be stranded. I've never seen the Barge being eaten alive before. It's my first time!

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

I don't want to be stranded here!

[championoftime]

I don't want my TARDIS eaten! What's-

Robots! Tiny AIs. Someone- NO! Someone has to go after Rex!

[All of the misappropriated indignity, Doctor. All of it.]

My vacation's been ruined, the way back to my room's been blocked off, and I don't even have a fucking pulse, and you're worried about the ship?!

[Audio]

[championoftime]

I'm worried about my ship! If it's not stopped she'll be devoured, too! And I'll feel it happening. [Not something he looks forward to. All of the panic.]

[Okay, that does sound like it would suck. Deep breath.]

If the Admiral can beam us up, or whatever, I'll help you. Did he send you out after reagents, too? We could start there.

[See? She's helpful!]

[Audio]

[championoftime]

I'm trying, but he's not responding! [Grown men anguishing. It's never a fun thing.] Someone needs to do something.

[no_fastolfe]

He's insane-- doctor, what can we do? [Since takedown is getting all handwavy, I will have her freak out... here.]

[championoftime]

Why is he doing this?! He should have known the old girl has similar properties to the Barge! [The most childish inability to understand. Just because he expected Rex to be able to figure that out.]

[no_fastolfe]

It's some sort of-- he has to be reasoned with!

[timesbureaucrat]

Doctor, we have to get the TARDISes out of there! [Panic has Narvin stating very obvious and useless things.]

[championoftime]

Why don't I flap my arms with suitable enthusiasm and I'll fly us up there. It seems to be the only way we can because the Admiral's not responding!

[timesbureaucrat]

You do that.

Or we could make some sort of remote dematerialization... [And he looks around at the Art Deco early 20th century decor and matching technology around him. A couple of Time Lord *might* be able to create something out of this. But not quickly. Not nearly fast enough.]

Damn this primitive trash! [Narvin looks like he might try flapping after all. Simply because he doesn't see other options and he's desperate.]

[can-has-vodka.livejournal.com]

I can't teleport...I can't hear anything in my head...I'm sorry I can't be of help but if I see Rex I'll let everyone know....

[championoftime]

The damage to the ship, it must be displacing us somehow. I was sure that it wouldn't happen again. I had faith in him. [Muffled sound of his hands over his face.]

[can-has-vodka.livejournal.com]

Doctor...it is not your fault that he deceived and betrayed everyone. Please don't tear yourself up. I didn't foresee this either.

[peektuttut]

[Oh shit oh Shit oh shit the TARDIS oh shit]

We'll figure a way to get her out, Doctor, just calm down.

[championoftime]

I can't get her out unless I'm inside of her. I docked her so she wouldn't be stolen. Someone has to go after Rex and stop the nanomites from eating the ship.

[peektuttut]

[WHAT IS WRONG WITH REX HOW DARE HE DO THIS WHAT THE EVER LOVING FUCK MAN AUGH] He likes the TARDIS. He'll protect her.

[And hopefully not kill the barge in the process. :|]

Private // Later

[requiresssacrifice]

[Rex is somewhere with Capa. IDK WHERE, but it's post-takedown. And he sounds utterly miserable:]

I'm sorry.

Private // Later

[championoftime]

[Of all the things, of how upset he's been and what he's been through. Where does he go first?]

You were going to leave without saying anything? Not even a letter?

Private // Later

[requiresssacrifice]

If I told you, you would have tried to stop me. [Which would've been a damn good thing.] I don't... handle goodbyes very well.

[not here]

[collector]

[After all this, so much frownyface. Someone is definitely going to go do something manipulatively supportive for you.]

[sp...am?]

[strangehistorian]

[There's a massive winged lizard with its tail curled around the TARDIS making a futile attempt to fend off the nanomites by spitting fire at them.

Fucking inmates.]
