Who Was There
Characters present in this moment
Exhilarated ambition stiffened by unspoken tension
Leans back slightly, cigar in hand, watching the scanner with detached amusement. His smug confidence masks the fragile edge of his temporal calculations, barely concealing the strain of his impending triumph. His posture is relaxed but his eyes betray a flicker of unease as the Doctor's voice intrudes.
- • To finalize the summoning of Kronos at any cost
- • To undermine the Doctor’s interference by psychological disdain
- • Temporal power is the ultimate form of control and dominance
- • The Doctor’s attempts to reason are mere distractions before inevitable victory
Deep concern masking determination
Manifests on the TARDIS scanner as a flickering hologram, his presence jarring in the Master’s domain. His voice carries urgency and desperation as he attempts to pierce the Master’s arrogance with rational persuasion, knowing time is collapsing around them.
- • To prevent the Master’s completion of the Kronos ritual
- • To make the Master comprehend the cataclysmic consequences of his actions
- • Temporal tampering inevitably leads to universal destruction
- • Even the most arrogant villain can be reasoned with if stripped of certainty
Heightened alertness coupled with mounting dread
Appears on the scanner beside the Doctor, her voice sharp with tension. She acts as both witness and amplifier to the Doctor’s warnings, her presence reinforcing the immediacy of the threat. Her posture is rigid, her focus absolute.
- • To support the Doctor in persuading the Master to halt his plan
- • To witness the unfolding catastrophe and relay its gravity
- • The Doctor’s judgment will prevail despite the odds
- • The Master’s arrogance blinds him to the peril he courts
Conflicted loyalty between admiration and ethical alarm
Standing slightly apart from the Master, watching the scanner with a mix of awe and questioning curiosity. She observes the exchange with the intensity of someone who both reveres and fears the forces being invoked, her loyalty conflicted.
- • To understand the nature of the temporal forces being unleashed
- • To avoid complicity in a plan she intuits may be catastrophic
- • Ancient temporal secrets must be guarded, not weaponized
- • The Master’s path may lead to ruin, not enlightenment

The scanner becomes the thin membrane between worlds, bearing the weight of the Doctor’s final desperate attempt to intervene.
Location Details
Places and their significance in this event
The Master’s TARDIS serves as the claustrophobic stage for this temporal duel, its bronze controls glowing ominously as Kronos’s energy pulses through the chamber. The space hums with volatile temporal forces, the air thick with ozone and burning circuitry. Shadows stretch unnaturally along curved walls, reflecting dimensions folded by the ritual’s proximity to completion.
