She pulls back the lever and grins at him in a manner that she picked up from him. Years, since she can remember, this is how long she has been travelling with him and this is how long she has lived. Admittedly she was alive back on the planet of the time Lords but the moment her and Susan foreman and the doctor ran away. Susan is, was her niece but they lost contact with her as the weezed off in their broken tardis. This was so many years ago now and she is starting to forget how Susan looked and acted and even sounded like.
"Vienna, are you alright?" the doctor himself asks as she blinks out of her day dreams.
"I am, sorry, I just fazed out for a few
seconds there. You know what I'm like Doctor. Here, run and check on the engine will you? It should be all fixed up." Vienna tells him, stumbling over the words. He sprints off like the engines are about to run off. He was luck, he has always had good regenerations, always handsome and sure of himself in someway. Vienna wasn't as lucky over the years and she has gone through body after body that has just sucked, always some issue. The issue with the current one is that she has a stutter for no apparent reason.
Vienna counts on her fingers how many regenerations her fathers had. 11. He seems to be getting younger rather than older, but if she knows him, she knows his body age jumps about a bit. Unlike her then, always young, early teens mostly and always wearing glasses. God damn those glasses, they always break a lot when she is running about after her fool of a father.
A light on the console begins to flash, a light that shouldn't flash at all. She calls for the doctor but he's gone far away into the main engines, which is miles under her feet.
"doctor?" she calls down an intercom but the only reply is static and an odd bleeping noise. The light on the console flashes faster and faster until it blows out. Then the whole console room goes dark where the only light comes from exploding bulbs about her, little bursts of orange and red.
"I'd love to say run, but there's nowhere to go now." a voice says behind her, Vienna jerks around only to hear a dull thud and feel a painful thwack against her head. She falls to the ground and it finally goes fully dark.
To be continued.
