She opened her eyes; she could feel the cold metal holding her down. Where was she, who was she, who did this to her. A sharp searing pain ran through her head causing her to let out a scream.
"SUBJECT HAS AWOKEN" A terrible metallic voice called out.
"RESULTS ON PRELIMINARY TESTING?" Enquired another metallic, yet deeper voice.
All she could see was the bronze ceiling above her. She being held down on what she assumed to be a metal table, the coldness of it was sending shivers up her back.
"SUBJECT HAS A BINARY VASCULAR SYESTEM AND ITS BODY CONTAINS VAST QUANTITIES OF THE LINDOS HORMONE" the first metallic voice announced.
"Its body" She thought. She didn't feel like an it, although for all she knew she could've been. She wanted to speak, to ask these creatures the various questions that were forming every second in her mind. Unfortunately she couldn't remember how to speak, it had something to do with opening her mouth. Like screaming earlier, She opened her mouth and the words in her head just sort of flowed out.
"Who are you?" She asked
"SILENCE!" The deeper voice boomed "THE SUBJECT WILL BE MIND SCANNED, ITS IDENTITY MUST BE VERIFIED"
"I OBEY" acknowledged the first voice.
A high pitched noise filled her mind, cancelling out all other thoughts in her head. The metal ceiling faded away and she saw a woman standing in front of her looking into her soul. The woman looked to be in her twenties but she in actual fact was around a century older. She was sitting alone in her dwelling coming to terms with the fact that she would probably never see her best friend again. He had set off to see the stars with his granddaughter, he had offered her the chance to come with him but she had declined. She needed to finish her work. She couldn't just up and leave the projects that she had fought so hard to create but she missed him so much.
Flashing forward at least five centuries, the woman was replaced before her eyes with another woman who had long brown hair and a stern face that made Her cringe for some reason. This new woman met up with her best friend again but this time they were at odds, he was all charm and bravado saving planets with technobabble, while she on the other hand was simply trying to conduct an experiment on a lesser form of humanity. When he realised what she was trying to do, he stopped his act and ceased his quirky mannerisms. He looked at her for what could've only been a few seconds but it felt like aeons and she looked back at him, not even flinching. They both wanted to see time and space but they both had such different agendas.
Lying on the cold metal table, She remembered. She remembered how this all started. She was working for Them. They had contacted her and told her that they would expunge her record if she helped them make a weapon against a species they were about to go to war against. They gave her a Time Station hidden in the Time Vortex with no way of these despicable creatures finding it. Then the saucers came, invading the vortex itself. The station was taken and everyone died. She remembered being... being... exterminated.
The images and memories stopped and the table she was lying on rose and flipped, positioning her eye to eye stalk with the enemy – Daleks. They were two different ranks of Daleks, one she assumed was a science specialist and the one with a black dome and bronze body was some kind of leader. She was never good Dalek ranks though, she tried to stay clear of them in her lives. On the large monitor behind the Daleks, a picture caught her eye. It was a picture of the woman in her mind. The stern one and beside it a picture of another woman that she had never seen before. Under it were flashing symbols – they eventually formed in her head as words "Identity Verified" were two of those words and beneath them "The Rani"
