Key to Time 1: Then Blow Ye Winds, Hi Ho! (Mica)

[Deleted]

"The key of Time? ...what's that?" She asked both the woman and reptiloid.

In a moment of detente, both reptilloid and Time Lord stared at Mica in shock. "You... don't know?" the Corsair asked, genuinely surprised.

Mica looked between them and sighed "I was born on earth and I only learned about the guardians while snooping in my moms diary" which was true her mom would hide stuff from her.But she always found out what she wanted to know by going through her moms things. She rolled her eyes as the reptiloid babbled on about how her moms people caused enough damage. "I wish you'd shut up" she growled before hearing the woman cut him off. 

Corsair drew her pistol. "All right, that's enough. I really don't have any grudge against you, and you answered my questions. So..."

There was an actinic flash as she shot him in the face. The reptiloid fell backwards

Mica blinked in surprise as the reptiloid fell backwards and looked at the woman "well that certainly shut him up"she said with a slight chuckle.

"He'll wake up in... oh... a few hours. With all the worst feelings of a hangover, but alive." Squatting down, she began rummaging through his pockets. "Anyway, in answer to your question - and I'm surprised you never heard the stories - the Key to Time is... well... power. An artifact of the Grace, used by the Guardians to maintain the stability of the Universe."

"Ah I see" Mica said while heaving a sigh of relief when she heard that the reptiloid was ok before looking at the woman when she explained about the Key of Time. "So it controls the universe? "

She eyed a flute-like thing in one of the reptilloids pockets, then discarded it. "With it, someone could repair the damage of the Time War." She looked up at Mica. "Or remake the Universe and rule as a god. And frankly, I see no reason to trust the Guardians with power like that."

She watches her pocket the flute like thing before cringing at the mention of the Time war."That I did hear about. ..Gallifrey along with the daleks and other planets were destroyed" she said while placing the gun back in her backpack. "I agree that something that powerful should not be in the gaurdians control. ..or anyone's control in that matter" Mica added.

She grinned, and held out her hand. "Oh, hey... I'm the Corsair. What do I call you?"

Mica smiled and shook her hand "I'm Mica Foster. ..I'm half timelady half human. .nice to meet you Corsair"

The woman winced. "That I did hear about. ..Gallifrey along with the daleks and other planets were destroyed" she said while placing the gun back in her backpack. "I agree that something that powerful should not be in the gaurdians control. ..or anyone's control in that matter" Mica added.

"Exactly. My thoughts exactly." She grinned, and held out her hand. "Oh, hey... I'm the Corsair. What do I call you?"

Mica smiled and shook her hand "I'm Mica Foster. ..I'm half timelady half human. .nice to meet you Corsair"

"Good to meet you, Micafoster... or do you pronounce it human-fashion, as two words? You know..." She exaggerated her enunciation. "Mica. Foster."

Her attention returned to the reptilloid. "Half human, hey? I knew another Time Lord who used to claim he was half human. When he wasn't claiming to be the reincarnation of the Other, or some rot. The Doctor lied, constantly, but he kept it entertaining. Anyway, these guys must have had a tracker of some sort. And I'm not finding it."

She stood up. "I'll check the Chelatihi, you check the other one. It'll probably be a rod of some sort." She chuckled. "We'll need it to find the key segments, since they can look like anything."

Mica smiled at the mention of the Doctor before turning to Corsair "I've met him before...nice man..well at least that regeneration was. Though none the less I AM half human..my father was a British Marine I have the birth certificate to prove it." she said while watching her look for a tracker on the reptiloid before giving up. "True they must of had something to keep tabs on them if they were sent by the guardians..." she agreed with Corsair. 

She stood up. "I'll check the Chelatihi, you check the other one. It'll probably be a rod of some sort." She chuckled. "We'll need it to find the key segments, since they can look like anything. 

Mica nodded and mumbled "Right I'll go check the one I shot for a tracker". She walked over to the dead humanoid and growled under her breath as she bent down to search for the tracker while also disarming the corpse of their weapons. She hated raiding corpses she was told constantly by her mother to respect the dead. "After this we need to get rid of the corpses....and our knocked out friend just in case the tracker as a silent signal for reinforcement if the tracker is damaged.....I think i found something" She replied while pulling out at small device with a slow blinking red light. "I hope this is a tracker otherwise I just pulled out a bomb" she replies while staring at Corsair hoping she pulled out the right thing.

Mica nodded and mumbled "Right I'll go check the one I shot for a tracker".

"Exactly," the Corsair agreed, stepping over the reptiloid and leaning down to inspect the Chelatihi. "I gave you the easy one. Stazers.. well, they make a mess."

Designed to kill Time Lords, stazers killed primarily by breaking down carbon-carbon bonds in a cascade. DNA, RNA, even cell membranes broke apart. The result was a corpse made of goo and mud.

Making a face, the Corsiar tried to roll the Chelatihi over. It oozed between her gloved fingers and flattened against the paving stones. Carefully, she began to work the creature's belt away from its body.

"After this we need to get rid of the corpses...." Mica observed.

"Good thought," the Corsair said, trying to suppress a gag as part of the Chelatihi's dermal plates came away with the belt. "I can..."

"and our knocked out friend just in case the tracker as a silent signal for reinforcement if the tracker is damaged.....I think i found something"

"Really?" the Corsair asked gratefully, half turning. Mica held out a small device with a slowly blinking light.

"I hope this is a tracker otherwise I just pulled out a bomb" she replies while staring at Corsair hoping she pulled out the right thing.

"Lemme see," the Corsair answered, stripping her gloves off and tossing them down as she reached for the object. Technically, the gloves would clean themselves. But really, they were ruined.

Digging a thick rod of crystal out of her coat, she took the device and ran the tip of the rod over it. There was a low whining sound as the orb at the tip pulsed with light. The Corsair grinned. "Hey, good eye. And..."

She examined the device critically. "Yeah, looks like there's a signal, coming from that way." She pointed deeper into the ruined temple. "Wanna go see what it looks like?"

Mica watches as Corsair tossed her gloves on the ground and walked over to check out the device. To be honest she was praying that it wasn't a bomb. She didnt want a fifth regeneration.

Digging a thick rod of crystal out of her coat, she took the device and ran the tip of the rod over it. There was a low whining sound as the orb at the tip pulsed with light. The Corsair grinned. "Hey, good eye. And..."


She watches as Corsair pulled out a rod of crystal and examine the device. She looked at the rod and crystal as it made a low whining and finally relaxed as the was assured that it was a tracking device and not a bomb.


She examined the device critically. "Yeah, looks like there's a signal, coming from that way." She pointed deeper into the ruined temple. "Wanna go see what it looks like?"



Mica looked toward the ruined temple and back at the device and the turned to the Corsair. "You mean like an adventure?" she asked sternly before a bright smile crossed her face "I love adventures" she added with a small jump making sure not to damage the device. "I'd like to see what we got ourselves into myself so lets go check it out" she replied walking towards the temple cautiously. The last thing she wanted was to set off a booby trap.

"Aye," the Corsair grinned. "That's what I mean exactly."

A bright smile crossed the younger woman's face. "I love adventures," she added with a small jump making sure not to damage the device. "I'd like to see what we got ourselves into myself so lets go check it out"

After taking a moment to stretch - no sense in risking cramps after a swordfight - the Corsair followed her into the cool stone passageway. "The tracker should lead us right to it. I wonder if there will be anything else interesting in here?"

((OOC: Two things. First, sorry about the delay. computer troubles and RL and such. Second, care to decide what 'interesting' thing we encounter?))

Mica nodded at the comment and looked at the tracker before looking at passage way "hold on" she replied while pulling out her sonic screwdriver and switches it to a flashlight "ah much better" she looked at Corsair "So you're a Timelady..I thought other than my mom an the Doctor they were all wiped out?" she asked while walking the path until she heard something up ahead.

She stopped walking and listed to what sounded like growling and chains. She looked at Corsair and whispered "I hope that's your stomach" she said before catching a glimpse of a strange catlike creature attached to a chain. She turned to Corsair again "I found something interesting" she whispers again.

The figure moved out of the shadow to show a giant dark purple panther like creature with saber-teeth and two tails.

((OOC: Its ok I was dealing some RL problems myself ))

"So you're a Timelady.." Mica said as they strolled through the entrance, clearly starting a conversation.

The Corsair's response was, to say the least, unusual. She stopped for half a second, glancing down at her chest before responding. "At the moment, at least. Although the preferred word in High Gallifreyan is gender-neutral."

"I thought other than my mom an the Doctor they were all wiped out?" she asked while walking the path until she heard something up ahead.

She frowned at that. "I... don't know, to be honest. I know Gallifrey's missing, but that doesn't worry me much - moving worlds is trivial, honestly. But the Eye of Harmony's offline as well. And you're the first Time Lord I've encountered since I escaped." A moment's hesitation. "I don't mean to be rude, but... are you a Time Lord? I mean, did you attend an Academy and receive the Imprimature?"

Something clanked up ahead. Clanked, and the uttered a low rumbling snarl. Mica stopped dead. "I hope that's your stomach"

"Nope," the Corsair whispered back. "Might be something's stomach, though."

Slightly ahead, Mica peered around the corner. The Corsair went up on tiptoes, craning her head to see over the taller woman. "I found something interesting," Mica whispered.

"What? What is it?" the Corsair demanded, finally managing to peer around the corner as well.

The figure moved out of the shadow to show a giant dark purple panther like creature with saber-teeth and two tails.

"Well," the Corsair nearly purred, eyes lighting up. "Well, well, well... it's a kitty!" Boldly she stepped out from behind cover, hand extended. "Here, kitty kitty kitty... who's a good kitty then, hmmm?"

Mica watched between the cat and the Corsair before watching the large cat sniff Corsairs hand before brushing up against like a large kitten would an owner. "Well that's good luck" she sighed in relief before seeing its collar and chain. "Well well look like its a pet" she said examining the chain and collar. She held up her hand and waited for the cat's response before looking at the collar.

"Hmm standard raido collar from the Moon Base 54 on Posidon..heavy duty chain from Jupiter" she looked at Corsair "this is a pet of someone...and my guess is they're still here." She pulled out a container of meat and fed it to the cat before motioning Corsair to follow her "Come on while its distracted...I have a feeling it was suppose to kill us when we  got inside but it back fired." she looked back at the cat muching on the food. "Someone is inside here and I don't think its a friend"
