HMS Surprise Network

...So I looked through one of the cat flaps Suri apparently installed. I wouldn't recommend it.

And we apparently have an atrium now. At least I think that's the word.

There's a lot of apparently's. But we have a place to grow fresh vegetables. Maybe.

I've spent some interesting times in interesting places in my over 2,300 years travels, but I reckon that station had its fair share of experiences all on its own.

Has anyone noticed anything different since we left there?

Guess this ship ain't such a bad place. Lot bigger than I expected, from what I was in last time I traveled anywhere. Just heading for the mess hall, anyone got any tips?

I think something died in my head. Ow. Coffee time.

So can we talk to Suri? Hello, Suri, in case we can.

ugh Christ, need coffee.

Brand new space station teeming with extra-terrestrial lifeforms... it's positively brilliant! Whole sets of languages and their respective dialects to be learned, new foods--well, wouldn't advise trying what they've pawned off as 'mutton'--and mysteries! Love a good mystery, though not as much as I do solving them.

I am curious as to the rooming arrangements though. Are they short on available space, I wonder? No matter.

Anyway! Do take care. If any of you find trouble, make sure I'm not far away, hm? Odds are I won't be, hah!

FILTER: Suri
Suri! Hello! Good news for you, I think. Ship's in a workable state. We've collectively managed to tidy up, salvage the engines and I expect other me's tended to life support as planned by now.  There's one more thing I'd like to do. The ship needs better repairs than what we can manage like this. I'm going to give the ship a lift so that you can better conserve power. That all right with you?

FILTER: Rose, Jack, Martha, Zev, Castiel (celestialintent), Amy, Clara, Eleven
I'm going to need your help very soon. All of you. Get shifting to my TARDIS. Left her in the observation deck.

Chinny, hope you're ready for a bit of nostalgia. Don't think we'll need two TARDISes for the job, so I do hope you'll suffer my apter choice in interior for a ride!

You're all brilliant. Absolutely outstanding. If I see you in the halls, I'm going to hug you.

FILTER: Bowtie
This ship needs our help, I'm sure you understand. Might I suggest we split the tasks accordingly? Well, going to anyway, but I would appreciate the assist, Doctor.

FILTER: Companions (his+Eleven's!), Zev, and Castiel (celestialintent)
Do let me know you're all in one piece as soon as you can.

Hello, Surprise! As you know, we appear to have been egregiously injured and in urgent need of aiding Suri in massive repairs. A ship this size isn't ideal for collisions, but she's got something going for her: there's me! And the new-new me. Better yet, there's all of you. Time is of the essence, you can imagine. If you don't mind, I'd like to organise the lot of you for the places that would need you the most.

Whatever skills you've got, technological or otherwise, tell me now. No matter how useless you think it may be, I need to know. Every single one of you is important. You're all briliant, clever sorts capable of more than I imagine even you realise. Your assistance is invaluable to me and this ship that's salvaged us from certain nonexistence.


Doctors, I don't expect I have to ask you to stay with Suri, but do let me know if there's any curious or sudden changes in her condition.

There is an absolutely dreadful smell coming from the kitchen, I'm pretty sure it's a dead cake or something. Still, might be good.

Anyway, I did not keep one of those critters from the world we last visited, but I see a few of you have. So I figured it might be important to point that there are no animals allowed on the TARDIS, well except for metal dogs. Those are fine.

It is not because I'm not a fan of animals, but because they seem to get lost quite a bit. I once found a lost Sabertooth kitten in the green house. It was no longer a kitten, and it certainly was not pleased with being aboard my ship.

Got him out just fine though.

Also the TARDIS is now working to full functionality, or so she says, so it may cause some irritable temporal shifting, and if you feel at all nauseous, or that you're living two lives at once, that's completely normal.

...


Why am I in space? Hello? Cloud? Barrett? It's Tifa! What's going on?

Good planet! Loads of fun. Never met this species before, but I quite like them. Not too fond of the fighting bits, of course, but it appears some of us have liberated several from such a fate! I've got one, bright yellow Pikachu to call my own now. Sits on my shoulder, think I ought to have a pirate ship now! Or is there one on the TARDIS? Got to check that. Never know, might be right alongside the gymnasium or the bouncy castle. Every vessel needs a bouncy castle.

( Amelia Pond )
Hello!

Would you like me to tell them now, about Suri?

[ EDITED LATER FOR ALL TO SEE ]

All right. Time to let all of you know something tremendously important about this ship. Specifically the AI, Suri. Not everything is as it seems, I'm afraid. There is a young girl on this ship in a very deep coma. To draw her from stasis could lead to her death, which is a risk I will not take unless she asks it of me. That very girl has become attached to this ship's entire mainframe and manifested herself as a hologram. It is the only reason she's able to continue living apart from her medical chamber. Suri is a young girl, too young, and quite sick. As long as I am here, I will be responsible for her. The ship's good doctors have been taking care of her as well, and thank you for that. There, now.. If you've got questions, I suppose I can attempt to answer them.

So...has anyone noticed anything strange about the gyms here?

I went into one and there were people putting the creatures against one another. To fight. I won't interfere...but I can't be the only one who doesn't think that's good for the animals.

I don't know what this is, but I gave her a vanilla biscuit and now she's following me around.

Um. . .apparently she breathes fire.

That world.. Earth? It was amazing! I've never seen so much machina, not outside of Luca.. or... but it was so pretty! Those large machina, the... oh, what did that person tell me... the hummers! I don't understand why someone might want a vehicle that large, but that's all right! I'm sure it has its uses!

Even though... I am far from my world and... I may not ever see it again, it's nice just to see strange and brand new things.

It just seems... quieter around here lately, huh.

Not really sure how to bring up about people leaving and all...

Minotaurs have bad breath, I mean really if you're gonna run around breathing in other faces, have the decency to brush your teeth. Unfortunately it's not a violation of any conventions, but it really should.

Also, just had lunch, amazing little thing. The buffalo wing. Which makes me think we're in the wrong year, or being told wrong, buffaloes don't evolve wings until the late 30th century. Never the less, quite tasty! I'm going to make my own. In an omelette.

I'd say I'm sorry for stealing Meg's idea...but I'm not.

Totally didn't realize Suri was A-OK with pets being brought aboard from a landing place.

So I went to New York and got this puppy. Finally a life-long dream come true.

I am now taking votes for name ideas. But I'm leaning toward Shadow...or Neptune. I don't fuckin' know.

FILTER: Rose

Rose! This Earth is brilliant! Imagine all the places we could go. Blimey, I could go re-meet Shakespeare. Before all that though, Rose, there is somewhere in particular I'd like to go. Just the two of us. That all right?

FILTER: Suri
Ohhh, Suri, you are good! Butter you up a bit? Hope so, because I'm going to tamper with these cuffs.

That all right? Going to do it anyway, but I am trying to be less rude.

Earth, always a fond choice! I do hope you're all ready to go on adventures with me.

All of the ship's computers keep talking about Valentine's Day and how it's a significant human holiday. I don't understand, is it like a form of harvest? All the hearts are misleading.

Well! All's well that ends well, I suppose! Good saying, think I'll use it more often.


Speaking of wellness, she's well again. My TARDIS. Have I made any indication that I'd some good news to share? Might've been it. Slight possibility.


Fancy a trip?

Well. Being told we're all going to die is a bit of a damper on my good news, isn't it? Relay that later for when I've sorted this situation out! I'd say we're in for a haunting, but that goes against a considerable amount of my rules. Everyone all right? Aside from the spectacular attempts to unnerve the lot of us, that is?

Rose, Donna: The TARDIS is being stubborn and not letting me in. I suspect it doesn't want to give whatever is affecting the ship a chance to take a stab at her. Not on board her, are you? Oh, foolish question. Really should have just checked the little shops first.

Would have--oh, now that is rubbish. Gone and written nonsense on my ship! Got to fix that, then sort my priorities.

Bit tingly though! Got to solve the mystery of the unhaunting!
