Chipping Away at A Mystery

Yesterday, the High Council was summoned in emergency session. One more of our number had appeared on New Gallifrey. His ordeal involved him regenerating, thus his memories of the event were sketchy, but he did recall the sensation of having been "pushed" here during the Time War.
When pressed for further information, the name fragment that was in his mind was "Doct-", leading the President to conclude that it indicates the involvement of the infamous Renegade The Doctor. Having been a CIA operative in my career back in N-Space, I am not surprised he would be involved in the transport of many of us into this new realm. But I do hold out the belief that such an act was at least intended to have a positive result. Whether that is linked to the loss of our original homeworld in N-Space due to the Time War, or some greater purpose here, or both, remains to be seen.

A New Old Enemy

Following up on reports that the Daleks were building an impressive presence in this universe, I gathered a team to investigate. A fellow Prydonian, The Rogue and the AI Type 102, Serenity accompanied me to this new Dalek stronghold. In it, we found many breeding pods and some disturbing items.

First, a new Dalek Emperor is in stasis in a grand throne room. This was our fallback position in case we were caught by live Daleks we'd have a bargaining chip while making our escape. Second, a room with a controller that seemed to access my TARDIS's database through my Imprimatur was near an Alteran Wormhole Generator. Coupled with a Dalek shuttle outside, it would appear they have the technology to carry on sustained hostilities. Another mystery is the chamber with humanoid beings in stasis or otherwise dormant. Are these innocents captured for some nefarious plan or are they constructs for some other insidious purpose?
The first session of the High Council of New Gallifrey was a success as we dedicated ourselves to the rebuilding of our home in this new universe dubbed as SL-Space. I was able to present a gift to the President on behalf of our Chapter that should prove useful in both it's symbolism and practicality in managing some of the terrible energies at our exposure. The meeting included a briefing of the various time travelling organizations in this universe as well as a few enemies who, too seem to have made the crossover. Our sojourn here will probably be punctuated with adjustments to our old policies of non-interference and some diplomatic overtures. Also discussed were a number of mysteries to be explored that may explain why so many of us found our way to this universe after the Time War.

Today, I met my old contemporary, Traveriellendira. We talked of old times and both revisited her accident, being caught in a temporal loop witnessing the destruction of a world she tried to save for 200 years. That incident reminded me of the self imposed isolation of our people and the way it lead us into the Time War. We must never let that happen again.
