theregoesthedrums is getting drunk with Rory again.
So, in CLAWS OF AXOS, this happens:
(The Master carries part of the light accelerator, the Doctor holds the laser gun.)
MASTER: Well, Doctor? I'm still waiting to hear this marvellous scheme of yours.
DOCTOR: Actually, there isn't one.
MASTER: Well, then why?
DOCTOR: Because if you mend the Tardis, we can both escape.
MASTER: Both? Tell me, Doctor, are you suggesting an alliance?
DOCTOR: Why not? I don't want to spend the rest of my life as a heap of dust on second rate planet to a third rate star. Do you?
MASTER: Do you mean to say that you are actually prepared to abandon your beloved Earth to the Axon's tender mercies?
DOCTOR: Certainly. After all, we are both Time Lords.
MASTER: Maybe. Look, why should I help you?
DOCTOR: Because if you don't I shall hand you over to UNIT and you'll become a prisoner on a doomed planet.
MASTER: Yes, well, you'll be doomed along with me.
DOCTOR: Exactly. We either escape together or we die together.
MASTER: Oh, very generous! But look, why not just hand me over to UNIT and make your escape by yourself? Well?
DOCTOR: Because the Time Lords have put a block on my knowledge of dematerialisation theory, that's why!
MASTER: Oh, I see.
DOCTOR: Yes. Well, we haven't got much time. What's your decision?
MASTER: All right, I accept.
DOCTOR: Good. Well, you're the mechanic. What's the answer?
MASTER: The answer, Doctor is this.
(The Master takes a small component from the part of the light accelerator he brought in with him.)
DOCTOR: The trigger mechanism from the light accelerator.
MASTER: Yes.
DOCTOR: Yes, of course.
MASTER: Now this will compensate for the deficiencies in your dematerialisation circuit. With a little ingenuity, I may be able to join one to the other, but it'll take time.
DOCTOR: Well, it'd better not take too much time. Right, you get on with the repairs, I'll go and work out some course coordinates.
MASTER: Very well.
(The Doctor starts to leave, then goes to the console and removes a unit from under a small panel.)
DOCTOR: Just in case you were thinking of leaving without me.
and then
(The blue Tardis is parked opposite a plain white one.)
MASTER: But you must be mad! Why have you brought us here?
DOCTOR: Well, you want your Tardis back, don't you? We can't beat Axos. We may as well join it.
AXOS [OC]: Why have you returned?
DOCTOR: That's simple. Because you are winning. And we have a proposition. You may have conquered this tiny speck in space but you've yet to conquer time.
AXOS [OC]: Well?
DOCTOR: We are prepared to give you this power on one condition. That we join forces against the High Council of the Time Lords.
AXOS [OC]: How can we do this?
DOCTOR: By linking our drive systems. In this way, Axos will become a Tardis and the Tardis will become a part of Axos.
AXOS [OC]: And you?
MASTER: No. My part is finished. All I'm interested in is the return of my Tardis. Well, I will leave you to your new alliance.
(The Master is prevented from reaching his Tardis by a forcefield.)
MASTER: I insist on my freedom!
AXOS [OC]: When the link is complete, then you can have your freedom.
[not immediately relevant stuff skipped]
(The Doctor is connecting an Axon tendril to console.)
MASTER: Tell me, Doctor, isn't that a rather primitive way to make a link?
DOCTOR: Look, will you stop pestering me!
MASTER: All right. I'll check the course circuits.
(The monitor shows a dot moving in a figure of eight.)
MASTER: You've got it set in a time loop!
DOCTOR: That's right, yes.
AXOS [OC]: Attention! Attention! Nutrition cycle incomplete. Disconnect all systems.
[Axos main chamber]
MASTER: Stop him! Don't you understand? He's committing suicide and he's taking us all with him! He's doing this for Earth, not for you. He's putting you all in a time loop and you'll never get out of it! Never!
(The Master enters his own Tardis.)
[Tardis]
DOCTOR: Come on! Come on, you must take the load! You must!
(The Axon creatures burst into the lab. Benton and Yates roll grenades at them, but to no effect. The UNIT soldiers start firing, then Jo screams. One soldier is pushed over the railing, another zapped by a tendril. The whole situation looks hopeless, then the spaceship dematerialises, taking the creatures with it. The Doctor is held against the console by them instead.)
AXOS [OC]: Your sacrifice was in vain, Time Lord. You are joined to us forever in this loop of time. Our fate is yours.
DOCTOR: Not if I can break through this time loop!
(The Doctor inches his hand to a control and activates it. The Tardis materialises in space.)
As I've said before, WHY WHY WHY would Ten have thought this would be a good thing to remind Simm!Master of when trying to talk him into, y'know, BEING HIS PET?
HHly, an angsty argument (which can be fun as long as all the angst is IC) between Ten andtheregothedrums is pretty much inevitable. But seriously. This incident could be made into frickin' conversational equivalent of a tactical nuke.
Also, I need some Who-related "Snarksexual" icons, but I'm not sure who. I'd need to buy more icon space or delete icons to add any, anyhow!
