Emergency Program One
One
"Susan, my dear, dear Susan, first of all I do hope you will forgive me my child. Please know that this was not an easy decision for me to make but you are my granddaughter and your safety will always be paramount to me."
"When we left our home I had the foresight to write this program into the ship's main computer, in case something should happen to me, the ship is taking you back home. I hope my dear that things will have improved since when we left but it case it hasn't then I want you to do what you have to do."
"And by that my dear child I mean I want you to tell them that it was all my fault, I coerced you into coming with me and at the first available opportunity you took the ship from me and hit the fast return switch until you arrived back in the repair shop."
"Now, I'm sure you are already objecting to every single word I am saying and how you will be returning for me as soon as possible but my dear this program, which I am terming emergency program one will not only take you back home, it will also put the ship's controls into permanent lockdown. No one will be able to operate the TARDIS's controls again, our ship is so old that you should be able to pass it off as a simple mechanical failure."
"Be brave my dear child, do what you can to make our world a better place, I know it will be difficult but I also know that you can do it, I know that my faith in you is not misplaced my dear one."
"Well. I think that is everything. Goodbye Susan. Goodbye my dear."
And with that, the flickering phantom of the old man disappear and the console room was silent, except for the heartbroken sobs of the girl who was lying on the floor of the control room.
"Grandfather…No…"
