[Video] BTW 10th, 13th, and 6th Doctor are gone so yanno

Hallo! [Waggles fingers at the screen in a wave.] I'm Rose Tyler and I run Torchwood here, pretty much de facto. Long story. Anyway... We are hiring for just about anything, depending on your interests! But I'm stopping all investigations into the void beyond the barriers, [Holds up a finger.] Unless you want to go back to your own time. Because I've had like... [Mentally counting and holds up her hand.] Five scientists, engineers, best friends, and even lovers, [She might be a touch tipsy to say that last part. Then again, this is the girl who got arrested for sex on a carousel after hours, so maybe not!] all disappear pretty much the second they started their own investigations on it. And maybe it's coincidence. But five? Isn't that a lot? You only need three for a pattern. Bluh. BUT If you DO want to go back to your time, I'll give you all of the Doctors' data that is left behind and the sensors and the analyzers and maybe even your own lab, because I've got like... three now that are doing nothing. It's terrible. I even have a TARDIS of my own?

Yeahhhhhhhhh. So you know. I'm still running the company and all, but I'm taking a mini-half-sort-of-semi-vacation to work more on Uni and bass and band and OH! OH!!! You should all sign up to join the Professor's music contest, okay? It'll be really fun, really great for your image, and you might win a lotta red bills, yeah? No Losing. Okay! See ya around!

I'm serious, Uai.

I just lost three versions of the Doctor, including Bad Dog. And both assisstants that were working on it. I can't take anymore. I don't even know how or why Jack left that time and came back. Same with Martha. But I won't. I can't let you do it too. If Guitarist leaves, then I'll show you how to operate a TARDIS if she doesn't freak out from glitches, and we can try to explore beyond the barrier then. But right now, the only way I'll let anyone even look at the data is if I don't really care about them and they don't have anyone who'll cry here if they disappear.

[He does get where she's coming from. Rose has given him plenty of chances to grieve Hana and stress about his relationships, so it does briefly feel fair to let her vent about it... but he doesn't think she'd have mentioned the research at all if it meant nothing.]

I'm not here to inherit your Tardis thing. Anything that can do, I can guarantee I am capable of as well. [Uai frowns. She does have him cornered. If he disappears, Azura is going to be really upset. The image of her in any sort of pain, and especially without him to try comforting her, is upsetting enough.

So he hesitates before continuing.]

I don't know how it is for you, Rose... But this world means a lot to me. Whatever is beyond that barrier is a threat to my new life, and I'm not rolling over this time.

Torchwood.

No one inherits the TARDIS after me. The Doctor gave up his ability to sleep for her, and whatever Guitarist gave up-- [Headshake and firm.] No one touches her without permission. When the Doctor died, she was the only thing that kept me going. Torchwood is my baby, the TARDIS is -- [Closes her eyes. River's half mother. The Doctor's home. Rose's home. Freedom. Safety. A fortress. The most powerful ship in almost any universe!]

[She grips the key around her neck in one hand.] we fused our hearts once. So she's the only one who knows me better than anyone else ever will.

If what's in the void is a threat, then you should leave it be. Beyond the barriers. Instead of probing the darkness to try to figure it out like some damn jigsaw puzzle.

I know Guitarist looked into all this too, and near as I can tell, either he was spared because he fried his brains out and gave up since, or he set whatever's in the void on fire and scared it. That said, might be them gettin' revenge on him the long about way because the Doctor's -- that Doctor especially DID most wish to go back and cease existing. And instead he lives. That's always his punishment. Except when it isn't.

If you can convince me, you can have it, all the data, all the probes, all the labs, everything. But don't expect convincing me to be easy. You might have an easier time just going back and convincing everyone in the Library to let you rewrite your own story to fit Azura and everyone else here.

Then it's your Torchwood that I don't want.

[His position on that hasn't changed. If he wasn't so worried, Uai would probably be irritated at this conversation. She's going off on a tangent again and treating him like he isn't aware of what he's suggesting.]

I refuse. A barrier will only last for so long. I no longer have a Library to return to, or a Mistress to serve, but I still have a job to do. [He could push. He wants to push. But Uai holds his temper in check, even when every arrogant shadow that builds him up wants to pick a fight.]

... Though if it's a major threat, I'm sure someone will be here to deal with it eventually. Like mothe... [He now holds his tongue. His mother is here. In which case, he hopes she isn't here to help with that awful power of hers.]

Sorry. I went too far.

[Tight grin.]

[Poor Uai.]

I don't know what's out there. It could just be nothingness. Like calls like, yeah? I don't know that I can safely puncture a hole in the barriers without creating a crack either. The Doctor explained it once like a crack in a thick pane of glass. A tiny hole might seem tiny, but it can cause all the rest to shatter. It's why he forbade my Dad from using his dimension hoppers. Why Pete banned me too, even if I went against both of them with the cannon.

I don't know that there's truly anything threatening out there, yeah? If it's just pure void, it should be nothing. Endless nothing. Not even darkness nothing, just... nothing of nothing. Nothing squared.

I want you to be safe and happy here to protect Azura and me and Satou and everyone else. How can do you that if the nothingness touches you? Where do people go from here if not back to their times? The Doctor is still in the future Doctor, but his memories of here are not. So where is he? Is it all just... naught?

["Where do we go?" He isn't going to touch that subject. He knows from the Dream Docks that people likely return home with no memory of Genessia. Whatever he builds here with Azura won't last if that's the case.

He dodges the topic entirely, knowing it'll only cause them both to start yelling at each other. ~~And then continues a different yell-worthy conversation.~~]

I know what a void is, thanks. At least. I know many definitions for "A void." [It sounds like she is referring to emptiness, rather than voids between galaxies or universes.]

I am nothing like you or your Doctors, Rose. But if it was worth them researching, it's worth continuing.

No.

It took Doc Brown and L3 too.

Sorry, I forgot the part where that changed my mind.

[YOU LITTLE BUTT SHE WILL KICK YOU!]

[Or she would if she wasn't so damn amused.]

[THIS IS WHY SHE DOESN'T HAVE KIDS OKAY!?]

[She can't prevent the annoyed face though.]

It means it doesn't just take the Doctor. Or his universe.

And I don't have to change your mind. You have to change mine.

Okay then. If you're not worried about changing my mind...

I'll just go ahead. Start some new research from scratch, repeat mistakes that could have been prevented... But hey. History can't save those who skip the lessons, so.

[He shrugs.

Please, just kick him. His attempts to be comforting failed before they started and now he's just taking anger out on this conversation. Hey, Uai liked the Doctor too. It was nice to have another multi-dimension being around and he's upset that this place can take 'them' out.]

[asdlkjasldkjasldkj Oh. Well, that worked.]

[Rose is clearly flustered.] Okay you can have it. But if you disappear too I'll never forgive you. And I'll get Satou to cry on you. And Hana!!

[Makes a mental note that "be an ass" is still an effective strategy.

Especially when she hits him back with a low blow of her own.]

Fine, Fine. Though, it's gonna be hard to have people cry on me if I've disappeared. [He smiles lightly,] I'm not going anywhere. Not until everyone is tired of me. 'kay?

[ : ( ]

Bad Dog didn't want to go. I shouldn't have let him explore the stupid portal. Not that I could stop him, but it was worse than the time with the black hole.

And I'll still find a way. I'll drag you back by the ears, you won't remember a thing and I'll still have people cry on you.

Hm. Challenge accepted then, Rose.

[The portals, huh? Honestly, he's itching to find more of them. That other place was bizarre and gave him hope for finding home.]

Keep yourself off the crying list, at least. Doesn't suit you. And we've got to focus on getting you back to him, hm?

Okay.

No.

Guitarist is still here. And I was more worried about Jack. And I don't want to go back to Meta. Or find Bad Dog again. I'm just here for me right now.

But I mean it. Don't get un-made.

Ugh. This means I'll have to actually go through the stuff now. Give me a couple of days to mentally prepare, all right? And drink. A lot. I've barely been in the Tower at all, never mind Fluffy's office.

Hypocrite~.

[After all the times they talked about him getting back to Hana. Which obviously worked out.

He shakes his head,] No rush. Azura has the Guardian elections coming up. I should keep my nose clean until that's over with.

[More importantly, he wants to help her out.]

Good point.

Definitely take your time.

[100% just saying that because the longer they take the better it is for her.]
