After 16-hour Gallifreyan International Policies Committee meeting, Braxiatel felt that he definitely needed a break. At least a couple of hours. Maybe some nice wine, interesting book, his favourite comfy chair. That is all he was asking for. Just for a couple of hours. Although, once Braxiatel entered his relaxation room inside his TARDIS he felt that something was not right. Well, at first glance, everything looked as usual: peaceful and calm. And relaxing. But, after a closer inspection Braxiatel found the reason of his disturbance: blinking red light from the console. Here we go. No rest for the wicked.
He reluctantly came to the console and checked the cause of the alarm. Apparently, he received three incredibly urgent messages a couple of hours ago. Once he had noticed that these messages were from the CIA, his first instinct was to immediately cut off all the communications and take off as far as possible. He knew that lot! Once they need something they will find you even if you are hiding inside a crystal. And he promised Romana that he would behave. So, it would probably be better not to use tactics that his brother was so fond of, save everybody’s time and find out what they wanted.
While Braxiatel was reading the messages, his expression changed from amazed to angry to very angry and finally to extreme concentration. People who knew him closely, knew that it was the most dangerous Braxiatel. Sort of Braxiatel who is either ready to blow up half of the Universe or sacrifice himself for the greater good depending on the situation. So, if to omit all the unnecessary details from these messages, CIA told him that they had sent a bunch of Very Important Papers regarding You-Know-What addressed to You-Know-Who and as it usually happens with CIA and especially important missions, something went wrong. Now Braxiatel’s task was to make everyone happy and along the way make sure that nobody gets hold of the ambassador, the messages, the TARDIS and all that jazz. You know the drill.
Braxiatel figured out that he was in trouble, as soon as he found out what sort of papers were on that time ship. The sort of papers that he would rather no one ever see. How on Gallifrey, did they even get those documents? And then he figured out that he was even in a deeper trouble, as soon as he has checked the coordinates. Damned Earth! This planet is like a massive magnet for all imaginable issues, problems, catastrophes, disasters and bad luck. At least now he had an idea what he was dealing with. He was dealing with the worst possible outcome. Although, the moment Irving arrived and checked outside view he had to admit that the surroundings were pretty impressive, especially that old monastery. Come to think of it, one of his buildings in the Collection was constructed in the same style. Braxiatel verified that his communicator displayed the location of the Ambassador's time ship, closed the door to his TARDIS and sent it one minute in the future. That was just the way he used to park his TARDIS under hostile environment.
He located other TARDIS quite fast. Along the way he noticed some bloodstains as well. Nonetheless Braxiatel decided to deal with it later, since he had caught sight of movement near the entrance to the TARDIS. No wonder somebody attempted to get there, door was wide open. Before going in Braxiatel made sure that nobody else was around. Thankfully no bystanders so far and there was a chance to resolve this conflict quickly and quietly. He entered the TARDIS and immediately understood that this was going be very long and tiresome day. He quickly examined the man, who bent over something near the console. Master looked a bit disheveled, half-dressed and agitated. Just the way he is supposed to look while planning his ridiculous deeds. And he definitely had already noticed Braxiatel’s presence.
- Master. If you are lost I would gladly accompany you to the nearest lunatic asylum. Or wherever you usually waste your time these days.
