[015: Video]

[And the Barge is treated to the image of a wide-eyed, obviously quite terrified child, wearing what resembles gallifreyan robes.] Where am I? Are you aliens? [And somehow those eyes manage to get even wider] Did you kidnap me? [The boy swallows.] That... That's n-not a good idea, 'cause my parents will be terribly angry and they'll come after you! [Wait, it's probably not a good idea to threaten them.] And that would be bad, right? So... Why don't bring me back home? [He looks around.] Is Peylix here, too? [Peylix, help --no, no, he doesn't want Peylix to be kidnapped!] If... If so, I demand you let him go! [That last sentence is oddly self-confident. It doesn't stop him from going back to looking terrified seconds after.]

P-Peylix? [Really?] But how...?

There is a being, known only as 'The Admiral', he takes people from their times and places and brings them here. It's a sanctuary of a kind. But you're not supposed to be here right now. You're here by accident.

[...]

Is he one of the Gods? [Don't tell me the Pythia is right about something!] Can he get me back?

He's simply sufficiently advanced. You'll return in due course, I do promise.

Oh. ...Can you come here?

I can but you must be warned. I look nothing like the boy you know. It has been a long time, but without giving much away, I'm not blond, round-faced man with blue eyes.

...But... How's that possible...?

...Still, I don't want to be... [He finds this situation quite terrifying. it would be a lot better if he'd someone to turn to. ~~And hold hands with.~~]

It's… a long, unhappy story but I am still, very much, your friend. I'll come to you.

I... I see. That's good. That you're my friend, not the unhappy story, I mean.

[Amused] I rather assumed. I'm at your door. [And he knocks.]

Oh! [He runs to the door and opens it a little, just enough to look out.] Oh.

Hello.

...Hello. You're...?

Peylix, I'm afraid.

I... [He stares. But he'd been warned, right?] Come in. [He steps aside and opens the door fully.]

[He hesitates at the threshold.] You're certain?

[Rassilon stares at him for a bit, then nods.] If you're Peylix, it doesn't matter if you look different, right? [Though he'd really like to be able to sense him better. Apparently this place interferes with that.]

I don't want to push you. [But he steps inside.]

[Rassilon shrugs and watches him, still frowning a little.] You can't tell me what happened?

Trust me, the answer… won't make you feel better and can't be prevented. It's better that you do not know.

So you don't think I can handle it? [But Peylix tells me everything!]

I know when our roles were reversed I found that I wished my head would explode to properly display how overwhelmed I felt. There's a lot of time between you and I.

Reversed? I... I don't understand. And how much time?

I was once in the position you are in now and you were in mine. I rather lost count.

How- Am I going to be here as well? When I'm older? And it can't be that much. Thirty years? Forty?
