[ The Doctor's clearly in the Medic car, as he promised he's spending a good amount of time there-helping to get things a little more organized and keeping any potential patients happy and generally healthy. ]

Hullo everyone! [ He smiles brightly and goes to fix his bowtie but stops as he remembers... ]

Erm... Anyways, I'm the Doctor-yes the one that was recently appointed a member of our lovely train's council. I'm not here to debate the legitimacy of the council so if your intent is to complain about that well-frankly, I don't want to hear it. I could go on for hours-possibly even weeks about why a systematic government with this many people onboard is, in fact, necessary, but I'd really rather not. Although, I suppose, if you must-come talk to me in person and I'll see if I can't ease your doubts.

There is something I'd like you all to think about-The Train. What do we all think? Because based on what just happened a few days ago I'd have to say, and my friend Nita agrees, we might have got it a bit wrong.

So I invite you all to consider this: the Train is alive.

If you don't believe me-answer me this, why haven't we been in contact with driver or conductor? Why are cars added so quickly? It also explains why we can only communicate with the train through the ICPs.

I've been mulling it around for a bit as I do have a ship that's also alive-she might even be on the other side of the wall and keeping the Train company for all I know.

I bring it up now because I think it's important that we recognize that during that last mission our dear Train got scared. It ran away-and fast from I could feel.

Oh? What is it that isn't adding up? Perhaps I can help.

Everything. This... How we get here, how the train just adds cars, how it gets the food we need, how it knows-

[About her allergy, but she's not saying that about.] How it knows where we're needed.

While I can't quite answer that first question I do have an idea about all of it. My guess is that-assuming the train is alive-it works much like the TARDIS.

She has a very strong connection to the Time Vortex and because of that she can see all across the universe and all through time which allows her to know exactly where and when I need to be where.

Now, the train isn't connected to the Time Vortex, I don't think-but I would bet money (if I had any) that it is connected to the void and draws power from it much like the TARDIS does the Time Vortex.

As for the extra cars-well, Again, probably the same way the TARDIS does it-well they're not cars on the TARDIS-they're rooms-but she does it all the time.

.... you know what's basically a time god?

[She will come back to the rest of what was said in a moment.]

[usernamesarecool]

What? The TARDIS? no, no. She just basically exists all throughout time-I'm the Timelord. Wouldn't really say I'm a God, though.

[mtsilver_conquor]

That's... Your TARDIS. That's a time god. A creature exists that all throughout time. We've a few like that on Arkea.

[usernamesarecool]

Don't think she'd agree with you on that-hard to tell. She might find it terribly flattering but then could easily be offended. She's a bit touchy. More like a cat, really.

[ But enough about that-Eva's just said something very, very interesting. ]

What's Arkea?

[mtsilver_conquor]

[Eva grins.]

My world. Home.

If I can get my phone at the end of this month, I can show you some of the maps. Well. The tourist ones, not proper ones.
