People will love you K-9, they always have

[k9_companion]

NEGATIVE, MISTRESS. THERE HAS BEEN A RISE IN COMPLAINTS AND GENERAL UNREST AMONG THOSE WHO ARE NOT DESIGNATED 'WHOVIANS' OVER THE NUMBER OF ENTRIES FROM THIS REALITY INTO THE PRESENT NEXUS.

I BELIEVE YOU ARE MISTAKEN ON MY RECEPTION HERE. PLEASE RETHINK REQUEST.

K-9! It has been some time.

[Considering Romana is trapped on a parallel Gallifrey at the moment.]

[k9_companion]

GREETING MISTRESS, I AM UNAWARE OF THE LINEAR TIME FROM OUR LAST MEETING TO NOW. BUT IT HAS LIKELY BEEN 'SOME TIME' YES.

[romana2]

[Romana scratches behind K9's ears.]

Oh, there's a good dog! Tell me, what was your last adventure with me?

[k9_companion]

INSUFFICIENT DATA TO ANSWER QUERY, MISTRESS. I HAVE WITNESSED REGENERATIONS AND PARALLELS OF TIME. I HAVE SEEN MISTRESS LEELA AND YOUR OWN K-9.

[romana2]

[Romana grins.]

And did you meet me as President of Gallifrey?

[k9_companion]

AFFIRMATIVE MISTRESS, IT MIGHT BE AN AMALGAMATION OF MY MARK III SELF AND MY EARLIER SELVES THOUGH. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEPARATE THE KNOWLEDGE.

[romana2]

[Romana has been on enough versions of Gallifrey recently.]

Believe me, K-9, I know. Though, of all the other versions I've seen, there has never been another you.

[She looks down on the tin-dog and smiles fondly.]

[thecricketer]

Ah, but who wouldn't welcome you? [Yeah, he's grinning. He missed his dog, okay.]

[k9_companion]

THERE ARE MANY ENEMIES WHO WOULD NOT AND MANY OTHERS, MASTER.

[onecream_fivesugar]

But you're so cute and fluf-

-I mean cold and metallic!

[k9_companion]

I AM ENTIRELY MINERAL BASED COMPONENTS BUT I DO GENERATE HEAT FROM MY MAIN AMBULATORY DRIVER AND MY PROCESSOR.

[onecream_fivesugar]

So you're warm and metallic?

That's pretty cool! ...I think.

[k9_companion]

I FUNCTION WITHIN SAFE TEMPERATURE PARAMETERS.

[onecream_fivesugar]

Well I wouldn't want you to work in unsafe temperature whatevers.

So that's good!

[k9_companion]

AFFIRMATIVE.

[onecream_fivesugar]

So... Just what exactly do you do?

[k9_companion]

I AM COMPANION TO THE DOCTOR. CAPABLE OF COMPLEX COMPUTATIONS, WEAPONS, SURVEILLANCE, ENTERTAINMENT AND TEA.

[onecream_fivesugar]

Entertainment? What kind of entertainment?

[amazinglyclever]

K-9!

[She's tacklehugging you in her mind.]

[k9_companion]

MASTER...MISTRESS, VARIANT TIME STREAM DETECTED. DIVERGENT REALITY CONFIRMED, PRESENT ENTITY DESIGNATION THE DOCTOR. GREETINGS MISTRESS.

[amazinglyclever]

Who's a good boy?

[Is she baby-talking him? MAYBE.]

[riverborntorun]

Oh how quaint! A robotic dog. Have you lost your owner, sweetie?

[k9_companion]

QUAINT; SUGGESTION OF OLD FASHIONED APPEARANCE, RUSTIC OR AGED TO ANTIQUITY. I AM NEITHER, I AM K-9 ROBOTIC COMPANION. I TRAVEL WITH THE DOCTOR, I HAVE NOT LOST HIM BUT HE FREQUENTLY MISPLACES HIMSELF.

[riverborntorun]

Well then, my apologies, K-9. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm quite familiar with the Doctor and his tendency to misplace himself. No ideas where he's got off to this time?

[k9_companion]

INSUFFICIENT DATA, MISTRESS. THIS 'TIME' AND WHICH 'DOCTOR' IS AN INFINITE QUERY.

[riverborntorun]

[She sighs. She's never been much of an animal person, robotic or otherwise.]

Never mind. When did you last see your Doctor?

[k9_companion]

I DO NOT CLAIM OWNERSHIP OF THE DOCTOR AND HAVE TRAVELED WITH MANY REGENERATIONS OF HIM. IS THERE ONE REGENERATION MISTRESS WOULD QUERY SPECIFICALLY?

[riverborntorun]

[She tugs her lips to one side in thought.] Bow-tie. Floppy hair. Face of a twelve-year old. Ridiculously obsessed with fezzes. That one.

[jenerated]

How could anyone complain about such an adorable dog?!

[k9_companion]

THEY CAN AND DO, MISTRESS. THE LOGIC DOES NOT COMPUTE.

[changedmyjumper]

Oh, c'mon now. What's not t' love 'bout a tin dog?

[aciculated]

K-9!

[And that would be Leela flinging herself down in the general direction of the tin dog. She might be blind, but she would know that voice anywhere. She hugs him tightly.]

I thought we had lost you!
