Lieutenant Adventures Series 12 Chapter 2 8 June 2018. Exposition Part 1.
Penelope sat at her desk, tapping away at her laptop, a smile constantly on her face. This feeling of power felt good.
The Lieutenant was sitting at his desk typing at his laptop. He'd received a suspicious email titled, "World Leaders". He opened the email but sighed before reading it. "Nothing," he said. He moved it to his inbox and left it as read, deciding to get up and go onto the balcony of his office and look out over the city.
Outside there was smoke all over the city and shouting. Some of the shouting was getting closer.
The Lieutenant smirked and laughed softly. "Well, this should be fun," he said to himself. He pulled out a radio. "Pull back all forces, allow the riots to get close," he said.

"Sir, that's insane," the voice replied.
"Obey me!" commanded the Lieutenant.
The rioters and protesters were suddenly let past and flooded into the grounds of the Lieutenant's compound. Many were eliminated by the Lieutenant's forces immediately.
Among the rioters was the Iron Demon and he carried, in his hand, a pipe bomb. When he had got as near as he could undetected he threw it at the Lieutenant's balcony. It hit the balcony and exploded, throwing the Lieutenant against a wall, destroying a corner of the balcony and breaking all nearby windows, sending vibrations through the entire building. All was silent for a moment.
"Are you alright, sir?" asked the voice on the Lieutenant's radio.
"Alive," replied the Lieutenant from the floor.
The rioters were, immediately, fought off and forced out of the grounds by compound security.
The Iron Demon was also forced out.
Penelope rushed out to the Lieutenant but upon seeing his situation, threw up over what was left of the balcony.
The Lieutenant's right arm had been blown off in the explosion.
"Bandages! Quick!" exclaimed Penelope.
"No, no bandages, thank you, do bring a camera, though, we're going to broadcast this next bit live," said the Lieutenant.
The Heart appeared with a camera.
"Start filming immediately," said the Lieutenant, "don't speak, nod when you're live."
The Heart didn't seem to know how to work it.
"Hurry up," barked the Lieutenant, "Penelope, you do it," he said and then, over the radio, "Violet, come and get the Heart and then flog her senseless."
Penelope nodded. "We're live," she mouthed.
"People of Earth, behold, your Ruler!" exclaimed the Lieutenant.
Violet, Head of Security, came onto the balcony and took away the Heart just then.
"I am not a Human being," continued the Lieutenant, "and I will prove to you, now, that I am not." The Lieutenant's right shoulder started glowing golden and, slowly, the Lieutenant's arm grew back and then stopped glowing. "I don't honestly care what happens on this planet. This evening, one of my own kind threw a pipe bomb in my direction and blew off my right arm. I know he cares about this planet and I know the rest of you do so if you value your lives, don't let him do it again or I will laugh while I burn this world to dust," concluded the Lieutenant.
Penelope cut the broadcast.
The Lieutenant got up. "Dispose of the dead arm, I shan't need it anymore," he said, trying out his new arm. "I am now going to dress in an exact replica of these clothes and then attend the Heart's flogging." After he was dressed, the Lieutenant followed the sound of screaming until he found the Heart.
Violet stopped when he walked in and looked round.
"What are stopping for?" asked the Lieutenant, "get to it, girl," he snapped.
Violet continued.
The Heart screamed louder.
"Harder," said the Lieutenant.
Violet obeyed.
"Harder!" exclaimed the Lieutenant.
Violet obeyed.
The Heart gave in and she collapsed.
"Stop," said the Lieutenant. "Leave the room."
Violet obeyed.
The Lieutenant rolled the Heart onto her back and looked directly down at her. "You'd think you'd know me well enough by now, Heart, to get a move on when I say so," said the Lieutenant. "I know you have started to regenerate. "I am going to possess your thoughts and control your regeneration. You will continue to be trapped in a good body in your next life, I will only set you free when you have proven yourself. Are we clear?" he asked.
"Yes," sobbed the Heart.
"Yes, what?" asked the Lieutenant.
"Yes, sir," said the Heart.
"Good girl," said the Lieutenant. He then shut his eyes and took over the Heart's sub-conscious.
The Heart passed out as her new incarnation just faded into existence.
The Lieutenant opened his eyes and left the Heart alone.
While the Lieutenant was attending the Heart's flogging, Penelope had escaped back to her bedroom on board the TARDIS. Right, Regeneration, how does it work? Time Lord have three brain stems, interesting, and all need to be intact. OK. Regeneration was the process by which Time Lords and others renewed themselves, causing a complete physical and often psychological change. It could happen as a result of severe illness, as in the cases of the Doctor, River Song, Old Age/Fatigue as in the case of the Doctor, River Song, the General and IM Foreman, also the Master. It could also be voluntary as in the cases of Romana, Azmael and the Doctor, and involuntary as in the cases of the Doctor, the Master and the Iron Demon. It could be prevented by choice but that was suicide. It could also be delayed. There could also be difficulty in regenerating, Reversal of Regeneration, Dissonance, avoiding the change, cross-species changes, aborted regenerations and iterative regenerations. OK, cool, it was good to know that.
NEXT TIME
The Lieutenant sat at his desk and sighed softly reading the email about world leaders. "Fun for me!" he exclaimed. He then walked out onto the balcony and then stopped.
Next was to research death in Time Lords as she couldn't allow for a regeneration to take hold.
