"More sleep," Yandela cuts in. "I need it."

" I see. " Trying to avoid her gaze, he limped to the other side of the room and crumbled down on the floor.
This was a difficult position. He had no Tardis, no energy and definitely no confidence.
Any other Time Lord would have sorted this situation out, he was hardly the deadly soldier that he thought he was.
He sat with his back against the wall.
"One whole month is all it takes....then i'll be out of here."

"I get it," Yandela growls, turning her back to him. "You despise us lowly beings and can't wait to blow us up."

"Oh, give it a rest will ya'?" Mars interjected irritably. He was too sleep deprived to deal with their bickering. "You guys are so annoying, I swear. The little bit of down time we get, you spend arguing,"

He was surprised at her quick outburst.
"Yandela. I'm not going to blow anything up.
It's just that i have began to realize a shocking fact. There is nothing at all that makes you all any more 'lower' than me. Is it not the actions of an individual that defines who and what they are?"

"You're not the only one who's low on energy, Mars," she snaps. Her tired, annoyed gaze turns on Edward. "Ed, I can't think right now. At all. So I'm going back to sleep."

He grinned "Just sleep already!", the Time Lord rose up in happier state. With his face wide as ever, he limped towards Xianto.
"I'm going to have to borrow one of your robots."

Xianto looked at the one who had talked to him. "No. I don't believe we have talked properly yet. So what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Do you think you could lend me access to one of your robots so i could perform some modifications?, well by 'modifications' i mean that i've got a brilliant idea!, we could build ourselves a sort of transport."
The Time Lord's face lit up enthusiastically.

Mars watched on interestedly from his blanket burrito. "So can we can get out of here, hopefully?"

He nodded.
"I know i haven't done a great deal for you both. However, I hope in someway, by doing this and getting us all to a safe location, i'll be on my path to redemption."

Xianto shook his head. "I refuse. I am not letting you have any of my machines. I don't properly know you at all and therefore cannot trust you of yet. Also my emperor has not given me any permission to let you have one. My robots will evolve on their own at the moment."

The smile was drained from Edward's face.
"What did you say? , would you mind repeating that statement because for a moment there i thought you refused to help us."
"Clearly i must be hearing things."

Xianto starred down at the man. "If you think I will let someone just take one of my Emperors machines without any prior reason to trust them then you are foolish. You would have to give me a far better reason to trust you and the same goes for my Emperor."

Edward's legs began to fall weak once more. He placed his hand on the door frame for support. Catching Xianto's stare, he displayed no sign of changing his request.
"You want a reason?"
"My name is Edward Hudacious. The last of the Time Lords.
Is that enough for you?"

"Oh goodness, I thought it would be fun. Turns out it's just more of this." Mars said quietly, watching the display. He knew how Edward got about his time lord thing. Though he was also quite familiar with the other man's stubbornness and loyalties.

Right on cue, everything seemingly stops. Then a boy gets catapulted straight through the wall.
"Urgh... H-hey, c'mon!!! I'm just like you-..." A small bag hits him in the head, cutting him off. "..."


That's when he notices the companions. "Oh. S-sorry. . ."

Edward turned to face the boy.
"Well this is interesting..."

"That's ok," Mars said genially. "You saved me from the dreadfully boring power-struggle that was about to start,"

"Oh, that's good. We don't need any 'boring power-struggle' here. Really, I'd like to think everything in this world isn't boring at all, but if that's going to happen, well damn..." The boy shook his head. "Anyway, you find the first shard yet? And what the items I gave you do? Have yah? Have yah?"
