[Private to the Admiral | Text]
For Miss, Zev, I would want some clothes she would like that can keep her warm.
For Narvin a textbook for learning ancient Gallifreyan from that time.
[There's some hesitation there -- the list is really quite short, and the lack of Omega hurts.]
For the Marquis, a translated version of an alien erotic novel.
[He would consider giving Jesse something as well, but he hasn't even spoken with the man apart from those few words of sympathy when Omega disappeared and has no idea what he should request.]
For everyone else, have some tafelshrew and schlenk appear in the kitchen, with a recipe for the staff.

[He gasps as his powers return, the sudden stimulation almost overwhelming. There's a short moment where he feels the urge to get his gauntlet and destroy something -- maybe that awful sweater -- but he doesn't. Instead, he stays where he is and waits, breathing in deeply, until he is used to them again. It doesn't take long and he simply relishes the feel of power, the ability to feel -- oh, how he has missed this.
He doesn't bother to hide it when he leaves his cabin -- if any other telepath notices, he doesn't care.]
[[OOC: Feel free to find him in the dining hall, some hallway or on the deck -- I didn't want to clutter things up with two posts for this and a Day in the Life log.]]

Date: 15/12/2012 21:59 (UTC)But this time Narvin stops in his tracks, skin prickling with nervousness, and stares at Rassilon warily.]
You have your telepathy back.
[And suddenly Narvin's greatest advantage over Rassilon has been taken away. Before he was securely confident that if it ever came down to a real fight, he could win. Now he's far less sure of that.]
[Spam]
Date: 15/12/2012 22:08 (UTC)[The smirk widens just a fraction, his posture radiates nothing but confidence.] Rest assured, I have no interest in using them against you... Unless you should attack me first.
[Despite the condescending edge to his tone, he clearly means what he says -- he really doesn't intend to use them for harm when not defending himself. And Narvin would surely be one of the people to worry about this most.]
[Spam]
Date: 16/12/2012 18:12 (UTC)I have no intention of attacking you unless you should give me reason to. Behave like a renegade or a dictator and I will try to stop you. [Frightened of the idea though he is. But he's CIA and crimes committed by Time Lords are his responsibility.] But so long as you obey the rules you're perfectly safe from me.
[Spam]
Date: 16/12/2012 20:06 (UTC)Certainly, I shan't obey any rules because you tell me to do so. [Which doesn't mean he'll disobey the rules either, because that seems rather counter productive considering the current situation and would likely only lead to making Miss Zev upset and the loss of his powers.]
Regardless, I meant what I said. You need not cower so. [Calling people cowards is always a good idea.]
[Spam]
Date: 16/12/2012 22:14 (UTC)I'm not cowering. I'm simply sensibly cautious.
And I see no need to watch my manners on your behalf. [Or most people's behalf, really.] You've hardly been entirely mannerly to me.
[Spam]
Date: 16/12/2012 22:21 (UTC)[He snorts.] Have I not? Tell me, then, what I've done to you over the last year? And considering what happened on the other Barge, and you getting Pandora on board I should think we're more than even.
[Spam]
Date: 17/12/2012 02:47 (UTC)[Spam]
Date: 17/12/2012 07:17 (UTC)I've done nothing. I even tried to understand you. Its you who insists on this. I was polite just now; I was even so kind as to tell you the limitations my powers came with, and that I don't intend to break them.
I punched you a few times. You broke my wrists, threw my mind into disarray, tortured me during that flood and brought Pandora onto board. One wimax think that's enough.
[Spam]
Date: 18/12/2012 01:56 (UTC)You can't hold me accountable for things I did while I wasn't myself. I hurt you in self defense once; the rest wasn't me, it was someone else wearing my body.
[Spam] oh god what is that up there. Phone, how do you turn would into wimax, seriously.
Date: 18/12/2012 02:33 (UTC)[Dryly:] And that one time still left me in worse shape than you. And even so, you can hardly complain about my manners, if you're the one who keeps starting this again.

Date: 19/12/2012 01:49 (UTC)Agent Kay isn't just any human, he's a human with a high rank in an agency that specializes in fending off alien invasions. A human with the resources to potentially help save Gallifreyan lives.
...[And then that tense hits.]
Was?
[Spam]
Date: 19/12/2012 07:17 (UTC)And how do you plan to use those resources? To get them into our universe? What sort of resources are these anyway, that t they could help us?
[Spam]
Date: 20/12/2012 00:01 (UTC)Agent Kay and his agency may be willing to hold off the Daleks while I evacuate as many of our people as I can. Gallifrey may fall, if it's destined to, if it's a fixed point in time, but Time Lord civilization will live.
[Spam]
Date: 20/12/2012 06:24 (UTC)What are you even here for? What else are the Admiral and his deals good for if not to save it? And if he just gives us what we need to win...!
[Spam]
Date: 21/12/2012 01:21 (UTC)[He hesitates before saying the rest. He knows that it's not something Rassilon will want to here. Indeed, it's not something Narvin likes thinking about either. He speaks quietly, and with more respect than he has in some time. Not necessarily for Rassilon as an individual, but respect for the Time Lord traditions and values he founded.]
Lord Rassilon. I've been to many Gallifreys now in many universes. And one thing they all have in common is that they were either destroyed or on the verge of destruction, almost always at roughly the same point in time.
I've come to wonder if the destruction of Gallifrey is a fixed point in time. Not just in our universe, but in all universes. If that is the case... I don't know how to stop it. Or if it can be stopped.
[Spam]
Date: 21/12/2012 10:03 (UTC)Then the moment is over and his face hardens, his hands form fists, his whole body tenses.] I will not. [Absolute determination.]3 We are the Lords of Time. I will not be defeated by it.
[Spam]
Date: 22/12/2012 03:24 (UTC)[He doesn't expect Rassilon to listen. Presidents rarely listen to his opinion. But there was someone whose advice Rassilon might listen to, even though he's no longer here.]
The Doctor thought as I did. The short one. He saw probabilities for the future. So many different possible futures but always Gallifrey was lost. Often at his hand. It troubled him to say the least.
[Spam]
Date: 22/12/2012 11:05 (UTC)Then he looks up again and his expression is more defiant than ever.] Then I'll just have to change the laws, won't I?
The Doctor has been wrong before. They all have been wrong before. I shall not lose, especially not to time, of all things.
[Spam]
Date: 22/12/2012 17:44 (UTC)Good luck with that. [He says mockingly.]
In the meantime, I'm going to devote my efforts to saving lives.
[Spam]
Date: 22/12/2012 17:56 (UTC)I won't. Time has no more absolute power over us than anything else ever had. I will save our people and I will save Gallifrey.
[Spam]
Date: 22/12/2012 18:12 (UTC)But I've seen too many Gallifreys ruined, and I can't see any way to fix it.
