You know, if I'm going to get erotic dreams about the Doctor, I'd really like to have more of a say about *which* Doctor.
*facepalm*
Well it's still better than yesterday. Just a teensy offputting.

Also it was this weird AU where Gallifrey never invented time travel, concluded it was a theoretical impossibility, and concentrated on being able to watch the universe without going anywhere. And then the universe sort of rolled along without time lord intervention. And nobody could go offworld because they'd got rid of all the tech that could do that and concentrated on hiding and watching. And then they mostly got bored of watching. I couldn't figure out what they were mostly doing nowadays, but it seemed to involve rather a lot of buggerall.

Since no one could leave, Theta Sigma never left. Nor Koschei neither. They were still lurking around, even if they were pushed around and treated like slightly dangerous children.

Or batteries, when they wanted to do something with psychic tech, because Theta was rather good at that. But they didn't let him be very good, because of his odd ideas. He just had to stay in the outer circle and push, sort of thing.

I didn't know that so when I was working with them I invited him up to the apex with me to create a final defence shield around it. Which was... fun.

The action plot was provided by the Gallifreyans being completely unprepared for outsiders to find them. They were under attack and wouldn't have noticed without me. They were just baffled their weather control machine suddenly didn't seem to be doing what it was told, and it never occured to them that someone was using it as cover for an attack. It was me figured that out, and saw the soldiers before they got entirely inside. They had guns and I didn't, but that meant the guy nearest to me had a gun, so two birds with one stone - grab his. Er, dream versions of me kick a lot of arse, basically. So there was grabbing the gun and shooting people and then the others catching up and putting their defences in properly... which basically seemed to consist of a tabletop over the door, but I was called away to the central concourse to work some advanced psi-magic, so I left them to it.

Everyone was all WTF about someone my age being asked to join in, but I had a doctorate - DPhil, specialising in magical theory. Which, you know, obviously helpful. So I joined them and did stuff that was obvious to me but surprised everyone else.

Their plan was not obvious to me. Their plan apparently involved a cabbage and a guy called Uncle Tiberius. I decided not to ask. And also giggled a lot. Er, for reasons that don't need explaining at this juncture.

So anyways, it was all kind of interesting, but the Doctor had only ever died of natural causes, that one time. So... not in fact the Doctor I would have chosen.

Him that weren't The Master on that world was all kinds of cute, in a goth and goateed kind of way. He was also all kinds of resentful because he'd been working on his doctorate for pretty much a whole regeneration now but they kept rejecting it on the grounds that, basically, he was a twisted death obsessed weirdo. Which he felt was unfair when his research was sound. They just never wanted to test the practical applications thereof.


Basically Gallifrey was set up to get it's arse kicked major league, but there were these alternate possibilities lying around - Theta's fascination with other worlds, Koschei's rather final means of dealing with them. It all looked kind of fun.

But then I woke up.

Mind you, dreams aren't well known for chasing down the ramifications of the plot setup. The first part of the dream involved a bag full of unicorns, and what did they have to do with anything else?

... don't answer, actually, I think I can think of that ...
