[ 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.

We'll just have to keep reaching out to it, then.
Have you tried to contact it again recently? After all that?
no subject
No, not yet. I should, but there's a chance it'll just push me out with force again.
I'd rather make sure it's calmed down, first. I'd go for a group-intervention-type situation, but then that might make it seem like we're trying to corner it...
[Which doesn't exactly foster cooperation, much as they all want answers.]
no subject
The TARDIS always likes when I stroke her-maybe try that? Or, I don't know-just a friendly hello might help. How do you usually get a wild animal to trust you? Because that's what we're dealing with here-I think. A wild animal-essentially.
no subject
I did that when I first arrived, actually. It listened, but then it just ignored me.
[Again, because of the peridexis. Strange trend, there, if not entirely an encouraging one...]
Since we don't exactly know what it eats - it's a train, maybe it doesn't at all? - just being patient and encouraging is all we can do.
[Just not the most satisfying, in the meantime.]
no subject
[ He admits. ]
My guess is it eats or runs on void energy.
Well... we'll just keep trying-be nice don't force it. Hopefully it'll warm up to you.
no subject
Hopefully.
I don't intend on stopping, anyway.
[Persistence is definitely one of her skills. Well, stubbornness.]
