My Dear Human,

Just relax. I understand your anxiety, however to react this way is rather beneath you. It will happen when it's meant to happen and not a moment before. I do, however have to express my disappointment with you.

You want me to lose the ability to communicate my vast knowledge of the TARDIS, which means Time Travel by default. I am President of the Supreme Council of Gallifrey and all of her Dominions. Keeper of the Sash and Rod of Rassilon. And you think it is appropriate for me to not be able to communicate with others about such pressing issues?

I'm sure the incarnations of the Doctor who are there will take great joy in this - challenge you have given me. Still, I suppose it is better than losing the understanding completely. I just won't be able to express my vast knowledge to others.

What do you mean it will turn me into a babbling idiot? I did not agree to this! If you are not careful, my dear Human, I will send Coordinator Narvin of the Celestial Intervention Agency after you.

That's not a half-bad idea. Narvin, Brax and Leela, yes, they all should come as well.

If the Doctor does not wish to discuss his past, than it is not my place to share it with you.

[Romana's arrogance is quite well earned. There's a reason why she was groomed for the presidency.]

Shorter name? Heavens, no.

[Well, of course she does, but she doesn't give it out to people she doesn't trust. Especially in light of the Free Time Virus. She simply sighs at River's remarks.]

As president, it is my job to be current on the affairs of my people.

[How is she to know how far in his own future the Doctor is - Time War changed many things.]

[hullo_sweetie]

Well then I don't think we should get off on the wrong foot here.

[This is River trying to be nice]

You're going to need friends when you arrive.

[romana2]

[Oh, Romana is being nice. She hasn't once called River a 'freak of nature' as she is sorely tempted to do. She hasn't called to question "Child of the TARDIS." Nor, the obvious fact that River had human parents - Romana can sense that much. Romana's "Time Lord Superiority Complex" is well intact, yet she is holding it at bay.]

I do believe it will be difficult for us to be friends.

[Where is Narvin when she really needs him? He would address this situation quickly and effectively.]

As to friends... I have already been assured there are people in that place who know me, and another is joining. And while I never met the Master myself, I do believe he and I would have more in common than the two of us.

[For starters, he would understand the significance of the Presidency.]

[hullo_sweetie]

[Oh Romana really doesn't want to go there. Either place. River's headstrong and doesn't like being called a freak]

Well the Doctor is there. Two versions of him. A blonde one who favors celery and my Doctor, who wears bowties and thinks they're cool.

[Cue River rolling her eyes. Honestly, that man was a fashion disaster]

Why would you side with the Master over the Doctor?

[romana2]

I never said I would side with him over the Doctor. It would be best that you didn't put words into my mouth.

[At this point, she would side with the Master over River, certainly. Especially the goatee wearing incarnations.]

As to the Doctor... he belongs to no one. Anyone who's known him more than five microspans can tell you that much.
