Who Was There
Characters present in this moment
Feigned unshakable control masking underlying desperation as the temporal instability grows
The Master stands with deliberate focus at the TOM-TIT console, his hands manipulating controls with precision. He speaks in a tone of command and unshaken confidence, disregarding Krasis’ warnings as mere distractions. His posture radiates authority, while his eyes betray a single-minded obsession with temporal dominance. The chaotic swirl of Kronos looms behind him, indifferent to his efforts.
- • To forcibly reverse the interstitial flow and subordinate Kronos to his will
- • To maintain dominance over the temporal manipulation despite visible instability
- • He possesses the necessary knowledge and tools to control Kronos
- • Temporal power is a prize worth any risk or chaos he must unleash
A mixture of righteous fear and desperate resistance to the Master’s blasphemous attempt to harness Kronos
Krasis confronts the Master with visible urgency, his voice raised in protest as he challenges the renegade Time Lord’s actions. His sandals shuffle nervously on the lab’s cold floor, and his eyes dart between the Master and the swirling temporal energy of Kronos, reflecting fear and defiance. He stands as a guardian of sacred knowledge, visibly shaken by the sacrilege unfolding before him.
- • To prevent the Master from controlling or harming Kronos through forbidden means
- • To warn of the cosmic dangers inherent in attempting to command a primordial temporal entity
- • Kronos is an untamable force that should not be controlled by mortals
- • The sacred rituals of Atlantis must be upheld to maintain temporal balance
Objects Involved
Significant items in this scene
The Master aggressively adjusts the controls of the TOM-TIT device, reversing the interstitial flow to redirect Kronos’ temporal energy. The device’s hexagonal scanner pulses with blue circuitry patterns, casting eerie resonance traces across the lab’s surfaces. Its molecular resonance scanner amplifies the unstable energy, risking a catastrophic resonance collapse as it is forced beyond its designed parameters.

Places and their significance in this event
The radiation laboratory’s sterile chamber serves as the crucible for temporal manipulation, its banks of flickering monitors casting sickly green light across chrome surfaces. The space is dominated by the Master’s presence, his shadow stretching across control panels while Kronos’ energy swirls overhead. Emergency lighting flickers erratically, mirroring the moral and temporal instability unfolding within these walls.
Narrative Connections
How this event relates to others in the story
"Krasis's initial resistance to the Master's claim about commanding Kronos (#1) is directly echoed later when he warns the Master that Kronos cannot be controlled (#2). This shows Krasis's consistency as a character who initially resists but is eventually coerced into revealing Atlantean secrets, only to repeatedly warn of the dangers of Kronos."
