[ 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.

I am not certain I find that anything but troubling, my good Doctor. [Sarai looks more solemn than usual, but that might be because of where her mind is going...]

I do not find it impossible that the train is alive, far from! But most things that are so in my world, they end up being...troublesome. I do hope this isn't the case. But they usually end up being primals, which necessitates fighting them...

[She shakes her head, then. She really doesn't want to consider having to fight the train at all.] I hope I am only having an overabundance of concern! After all, we are not on my world, so perhaps my fears will not come to fruition. I desperately hope this is the case!

Sounds like it. My ship is alive and never once has she tried to hurt anyone-and she's even older than I am. I actually stole her from a museum. She did lock Clara out that one time though... didn't much like being called a Snog Box, I suppose.

This sort of thing though-with what I know of the TARDIS-I'd say it runs quite a bit similar. Which leads me to believe that since there's not much in the way of food out in the void-it's likely the train runs on void energy.

Snog...box?

[She's a bit confused, but she guesses that with personality comes a sense of mischief. Quite understandable. She's got a sense of mischief of her own, truth be told.]

So the void energy is what it 'eats', then? So to speak? [She's been around Cid Garlond for long enough that Sarai does understand it's more fuel than 'food', at least.]
