Delayed exploration

Who: The Master, Open
What: Exploring the castle properly
When: A day or so after being released from the Valentine's Day event
Where: Starting with the kitchen
Rating: G-PG

The Master knew the importance of being familiar with his surroundings. Normally, he would do extensive research on any planet that he intended to visit. Before landing, he would know where the safest shelters were, who was currently in power, who was seeking to take power, and who could be either bribed or coerced most easily. The Master always made sure to place his TARDIS somewhere that he could get to easily, for a quick escape.

Now, however, his TARDIS was completely out of reach and the Doctor himself had assured the Master that escape was impossible. No one seemed to be in power and few people seemed willing to change that fact. Bribery and coercion were still useful tools, should he need them, but only once he got to know the residents better. Likewise, his knowledge of the Castle, outside his bedroom, was almost nil! Other than lacking his TARDIS, this lack was the most unacceptable situation and, fortunately, the easiest to fix.

On his arrival, the Master had been told more than once that the kitchen was on the first floor. That seemed a reasonable place to begin his explorations. The Master wasn't particularly hungry, but decided he might as well examine things closely. This was a Castle with deep secrets and the Master intended to dig them out, one by one.

"Your concern for the future of your people is... overwhelming." Though Romana hadn't expected him to care entirely, she had expected, something.

"Gallifrey has changed," her tone became equally cold, "There were things I learned from my travels with the Doctor."

Well, she has changed it a bit... She tries.

Romana knows what happens to the Master and her tone as the edge colored with that knowledge, "But the little that ties to you it is what is most important to you."

She said it as a statement of fact, because it is. The part that ties him to Gallifrey is the part that makes him a Time Lord.

OMG sorry for all the typos in that last comment, I knew what I was talking about :P

She sighs, "Some things never change... Has it ever occurred to you that you might be the greatest Time Lord of your generation? But with that sort of greatness comes responsibility."

"Nor can I. And I'm her president."

She smiles a bit fondly at the mention of the Doctor, "Popularity on Earth? Perhaps. But on Gallifrey? You know as well as I do he is less than popular. Besides, while he might be able to impress other species, you and I both know the man is an idiot."

Okay, so now she's using her diplomacy to get the Master on her side, there are reasons why she's President, after all.

Romana laughed fondly, "Then he has taken you in. You know very well that he scrapped by on his exams. I had triple firsts. He was only made Lord President so that they could find you. If I can trust the Matrix."

"Actually? I do. And not because someone told me. I had to figure it out for..." she broke off suddenly. She's not ready to recount those terrible days just yet.

Romana's tone agrees, "And the second time was a bit of a loop-hole, since he never named his replacement when he left..."

Romana sighed. She's disappointed, Master, she thought you knew better, "It's not a typical virus. It turns us into... zombie like creatures, incapable of normal thought or action. That we can tell, there is no cure, other than to stop it before it starts."

"I might have, but didn't.... As for a vaccine, it would be easier if we understood more about the virus. Which is part of the reason why I was traveling to alternate Gallifreys... to try to discover what causes it."

She doesn't sound upset by the Master's reproach, though.

"We can't risk infection to get close enough, now can we?" Her opinion of the 'intelligent Master' is quickly falling.

"It had to be this way." Never mind that she was ousted and this was part of her 'punishment.' She would have gladly left, just for the adventure.

She sighs, "We are not even sure what the virus is... other than it seems to attack those who are time sensitive. And yet, the threat is incredibly real."
