"Hello? Eli, are you in this telephone box?"
Eli snapped out of looking at this strange place that was bigger on the inside at that and said, "Oh, my, that'll be Jon! I should..."
He looked at the Doctor, not exactly sure what to do about the sudden appearance of his lover outside the TARDIS.

The man trailed off, searching his mind, and then continued, "Well, I don't care what you think, he's fantastic in bed."
It was not a sentence said with much conviction.
At any rate, Eli opened the door and Jon walked in. His eyes widened at the sight of the inside of the TARDIS.
Jon exclaimed, "This is like something out of Star Trek!"

"Wait, he's bringing Khan up there, and not me? I thought I was his companion. He called me that. I'm still not entirely sure what it means, but it's definitely not in a romantic sense. He's kind of crotchety and, really, he looked more annoyed then anything when I checked if he was a Cyberman, so..."
She paused.
"You guys have no idea about what I'm talking about, do you? Yeah, you don't. Look, I'm going to go up with the Doc. It's probably better, really. I don't trust him with Khan. You two just stay here and...eh, do something. I don't really care." she said, and then she sprinted after the Doctor.
It was rather hard and annoying to sprint, and Sydney thought to herself that whoever Victoria was, she had an absolutely terrible taste in clothing.

And then he was gone. In the space of a few seconds, the man was gone. She looked after him, down the hall. He was yelling about something. Then, she realized that she had left Jon and Eli alone. In the control room. Of a spaceship. This probably wouldn't have that bad, but Jon and Eli were from the 21st century. They'd probably break something. And, knowing the Doctor, that would end badly. Very badly, in fact. Seconds later, she chased after the Doctor, trying to catch up.
Emphasis on "trying", because running in a dress is difficult, and the Doctor was actually surprisingly good at running, for an old man. He seemed much too old to be bolting down the hallway at that speed, but, from what she knew of the Doctor...he probably had experience with running.
So, she chased after him, sprinting down the hallway, heading directly towards the control room.
Nat: Night's always in some bizarre state somewhere between "intoxicated enough to kill a hair metal lead singer" and "annoying Mormon missionary sober".
Swith: It's because you're so awesome. God himself refreshes the screen before he types just to see if Nightkill has written anything while he was off somewhere else.

The amused Khan ran after Sydney. "So, crazy shit's been going on, eh?" He asked, seeming decidedly more cheerful and cooperative than he had in the morning. Feelings of near mortal doom made him feel at home. "I quite enjoy this run, you know. A brisk trot helps out the muscles, I always say. Apologies for the morning, by the way. I was a bit frustrated and tired. I still wish to fuck your face, I just won't be as much of a dick about it, if you pardon the pun."

Astrolinium wrote:Jon twisted the thingamajiggy. Yes, that was indeed the technical term for it.
Something deep within the TARDIS went "clunk" and the whole ship began to shake violently, throwing everyone to the floor. Eli shouted, "What the hell are you doing, Jon?", but he did so in vain.
The cloister bell began to toll in warning of impending disaster as the ship began to spin, the occupants flung like ragdolls as the thing repeatedly tried and failed to establish a coherent gravity. Clinging to the control panel, Jon managed to get his hands on a doohickey. There was a malicious grin on his face as he pulled the doohickey and twisted the thingamajiggy back.
The TARDIS's convulsions came to a sudden, gut-wrenching stop, accompanied by an awful sound - the splintering of wood and the crunch of metal being crumpled like tinfoil. The ship was upside down.

Astrolinium wrote:The thing about the TARDIS's console room is that it has rather high ceilings. So, even though Eli's hands were wrapped tightly around Jon's leg (and John's hands were holding onto the console itself for dear life), there was quite a bit of empty space between himself and the ceiling.
Suffice it to say he ignored the request to come down for the moment. Jon's eyes darted down to the Doctor. His pupils dilated and he didn't answer the man's question. Eli, in the meantime, shouted wildly, "What the hell are you talking about? Jon, what is he talking about? What war?"

Astrolinium wrote:"No he's not!" shouted Eli. "He's the man I love! I think I'd know if I was involved with a Martian!"
Jon, meanwhile, shouted, "I don't know what the hell's going on here, and I don't know what you're talking about, but if you say this will turn this room right-side-up, I'll do it." He grabbed the switch and flipped it. With a very unsettling noise, the TARDIS flipped over with all the grace and poise of a beached whale. The ceiling, notably, was a bit lower than it used to be, because the top of the box had been more or less crushed.

Astrolinium wrote:The one thing neither party did was get away from the console. At first, anyway. Eli looked at Jon and said, "Jon, is this true? Are you really a Tarantulan?"
Jon gave the great sigh of a man who has just very nearly been called by the correct name but has been disappointed dearly. Before the eyes of everyone in the TARDIS, he transformed into a perfect copy of a blonde wearing a Union Jack. A specific one; he didn't just wake up with a craving.
"I am not," she said patiently, "a tarantula. Nor am I a Martian. I am a Trantulian, you twit. Furthermore, I am not your dear lover Jonathon Streyer. I am, I reiterate, a Trantulian. Lastly," she said, looking pointedly at Syndney, "put that thing down before you hurt yourself."

Sherri looked really quite disappointed. She was vaguely psychic, you see (not unlike the psychic paper), and she'd rather hoped the form of this blonde who was so present in the minds of both the Doctor and the TARDIS would have some effect on him.
So she turned her hand into a gun and grabbed Eli around the neck, holding the gun to his head. She said to the Doctor quite coolly, "Don't you dare take me home."

"OK, OK!" the Doctor said, "No one ever said you had to go home. No one. You can stay on Earth, if you like. Assume a new identity and blend in. I just need to make sure you aren't a danger to the people of this world and that, for your own sake, you adhere to their laws. Now, put the man down and begin explaining, please."
He grimaced at the Trantulian. He'd not recognized her at first - Time Lords have long memories, disorganized webs of tragedy and things that never quite happened, but almost. To sort out a single face so long afterwards; it was difficult, almost impossible, and it filled him with shame. Such feelings had long since cooled, though that he regretted. He'd been happier then. He wished he could have held that within his hearts forever, but all things fade, and now that scary, wonderful emotion he could never quite name was but a shadow of a memory. And one should never trust shadows.
"We're all friends here," he added.

Sydney looked at him, a cynical look in her eyes. "We're all friends here?" she thought. "Is he serious?"
She sighed.
"Doctor, it's a shapeshifting alien that threatened to kill Eli. I don't think it's a friend, assuming we're assuming the same use of the verb, and we're both speaking the same language...wait, how...I...I'll get to that later, but, Doctor, we're not all friends here. I mean, it's threatened to kill Eli, and you're calling it a friend? Look, you're a Apapulacian - an incredible two-hearted man that's got some of the best technology in all the universe - you can handle the situation. We can get through this without anybody being shot or killed. You should just eject it from your ship already. It even said that it wants to leave. Again, I'm sure we can get through this without shooting anyone, but let's not pretend that we're all friends. Let's just dump it back on earth. You'd be fine with that, right, Sherri?" she said, still aiming the thingamajig at Sherri throughout the entire sentence. Her hand twitched slightly - she wasn't used to aiming things at people. Well, technically, this wasn't a person...no, that was racist. It was a person, and aiming something at it made her feel incredibly uncomfortable. She gripped it tightly, and, then, suddenly, it made an awful noise, similar to a tenor saxophone, and she threw it to the ground in surprise, put her hands away from her, palms open.
"Look, I don't want to be shooting anyone. Let's just talk this out peacefully. Let's just get rid of the weapons, shall we? Please?" she said nervously, looking at the Doctor, hoping that he'd take control of the situation.
