This chapter might get dicey between timelines and I might screw up, so here goes. By the way I'm trying to refrain from copying off of Doctor Who spoilers/plot twists, but they're almost unavoidable, and some of them seem like they'd be good. ALSO I SWEAR LELIANA IN THE LIBRARY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SILENCE IN THE LIBRARY I SWEAR! Like I said, it will get dicey. BAH! I have so many ideas that conflict with the Dragon Age lore. I want to include Bethany in the story, but then I think oh wait for some people she died right at the beginning. I have pledged from the beginning not to canonize the Warden/Hawke too much, the only canon it seems there is right now is Leliana romance with the Warden, but it's pretty easy to ignore.

Leliana walked up the stairs holding the tray of food, Alistair better help me, he may sometimes act foolish but he is one of the most brave people I've met. I just don't know if he'll believe me... Leliana thought, still walking up. She knocked on the door,

"Come in!" a muffled voice called from inside.

Leliana opened the door and set the tray on the table, "Alistair!"

"Leliana? Shouldn't you be somewhere right now? Last I heard from you, you were-"

"No! No! I can't – Don't tell me!" Leliana said.

"Are you okay?" asked Alistair getting up, "What are you doing here, and why are you my servant?"

"Okay, you aren't going to believe me, but, there's a time traveler, he's named the Doctor. Me and him went to a party and-"

"Oh! I know what you're talking about! Gosh, it's been so long I almost forgot. Luckily I put it right here." Alistair ran a hand through his ruffled hair and opened one of his dresser drawers. Pulling out a letter, "You said you need this. He was here about... five, maybe six years ago, and you gave me this thing. You said it was important I give this back to you in a few years. Didn't make sense."

"A nightingale? I've heard of these. These are really expensive, how could he just find a letter with a hand-drawn nightingale on the back of it." she opened the letter.

Leliana, there is barely any time for me to write this. Okay actually I have all the time in the world, but to you this will seem urgent. This letter has probably been waiting in this man's hand's for awhile now. Truthfully, I'm not even the one to deliver this to Alistair unto you... Time works in strange ways, you still need to rescue me, or this letter will never reach your hands. Not all time is fixed points, some are fixed and some are flux, some can change. If you fail to get to me, than this letter might start fading out of your hand and you will go on as if you never have gotten this letter. You need to succeed. You should have everything you need. The time period you need to go to first is down below. Then you need to come rescue me, but come with someone. ANYONE. You could need backup. It doesn't matter who you choose, it isn't a fixed point, you could come with Alistair, with the elf servant from downstairs, anyone. Hopefully this makes sense, hope you'll see me soon.

The Doctor.

Leliana trembled at the thought of so much weight being on her shoulders. Sure she had to fight the Darkspawn, but saving somebody who not only could be in so many places in Thedas, but so many places in time scared her greatly.

"Okay. Alistair, I can't risk you. You're king. I have to do this alone." Leliana said opening the flap of the vortex manipulator and typing in the time, "Alistair, thank you for delivering this to me. I'm sorry you might not understand what's going on, but I promise I'll explain it to you later." Leliana looked upward, "Doctor, I'm coming for you." She slapped the button and soon faded through time.

"So when are you going to explain this to me?" asked Alistair.

Leliana saw herself in the Ferelden Circle Tower. She was in the library. She frowned, she had no idea where to go from there, but knew the Doctor had to have put something here for her to find. She walked toward the books, and glanced around. There were so many books, she didn't know where to start if he had a hidden message in one of the books. She looked around, besides the section on birds, she had no idea where to start.

"This is hopeless." she said aloud. She looked over and saw a piece of parchment with a quill next to it. Ink was still dripping from it, and she read it aloud, "Nothing is ever hopeless, just believe – D." "Doctor? Is that you? Give me a sign! Please!" she yelled.

"No more crazies in the Circle, it's bad enough with the Mages we don't need some knife wielding little girl." a Templar said through his mask.

"Knife wielding little...?"

"You heard me. Why would they authorize you in here?"

"Um..." Leliana struggled. She needed to know she could do this, "I have too."

"Nope, you're coming with me, and you're going to die. I've had enough of people breaking out of the Circle I don't need people thinking they can smuggle their families in here too. I have to set an example around here." the Templar said, drawing his sword and grabbing Leliana's arm.

Leliana found her confidence, and internally grasped it with all of her might. She shook her arm off the Templar, grabbing at both her daggers, but only pulling one off her back and toward the Templar's throat, "I'm doing something greater and better than you. You are small, and in the next age, you will be nothing but a gravestone. I am fighting for something bigger than myself and you have the audacity to try and stop me."

She could almost hear the Templar laughing in his head, "And who do you think you are."

"I'm Leliana, and I know the Doctor, and oh boy, he'll be coming for you soon, don't you worry."

"Sister N-n-n... I apologize. I realize know that I am wrong. The Mage-Templar war has only begun, now I realize why."

Leliana raised in eyebrow, perhaps she had come a bit more in the future than she had planned. She couldn't risk hearing any more of the future, lest she's apart of it. The Templar sheathed his sword and backed up. Leliana put her dagger back on her back and released her tight grip on the other. She grabbed the bow off her back and pulled an arrow out of her quiver. She nocked the arrow in place and pulled back the string raising her bow to the proper height. She breathed in, still wondering whether killing the Templar would help the mages out, make the Templar's more hard on them, or cause a Time-Paradox. There was a 2/3rds chance it would go wrong, so she lowered her bow and put her arrow back, walking forward.

Suddenly Leliana was pushed forward. She didn't like surprises. She pulling an arrow and fit it to her bow, raising it before she could even see straight.

"Sorry!" the elf said, "I was just trying to study. I didn't see you there. I haven't seen you before, what's your name?"

"Leliana," she said to the small brunette elf, lowering her bow, "I'm sort of trying to do something right now, do you know any books associated with a Doctor, or blue box? Maybe Time-Travel."

"Time travel?" the elf laughed, "Everybody knows that can't be done, somebody would've found it."

"Somebody already did, somebody has for a long time now, but hasn't been here before. He's in trouble and he needs my help. He's been kidnapped by the Cybermen." Leliana said.

"Cybermen? Oh you must mean the technology men, from the L'homme de l'ordinateur Project from Orzammar. It's funded by Orlais, hence the fancy title. You know how Orlesian's are with their fancy – Maker's breath you're Orlesian! I'm sorry! I didn't mean too!"

"It's fine, we do go a bit overboard. But this L'homme de l'ordinateur Project. What is it?"

"The dwarves are trying to craft robots, some members of the Circle in Val Royeaux were sent over for enchanting of the robots. They were originally going to be called the Doué, but some say they're trying to change it. It's top secret, and hasn't really been heard of for years. It seems the project has been stopped. The only reason we know about it is because the Circle was involved."

"Guess I'm just not in the right time." Leliana frowned.

"But you said blue box right? The Blue Box. Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. The Blue Box. It's an equation we had to study. Blue Box equals Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. Oh and something about birds. It was a very strange lesson, nobody got it. It was taught by this enchanter we hadn't seen before. He had a strange outfit on."

"How come the Doctor is everywhere and sees everybody, but can't leave a simple letter telling me how to save him." Leliana groaned.

"But I did find this. He left this letter behind. I think it's in my trunk upstairs, I kept it just in case, because it seemed like this letter was supposed to be delivered. I never read it though" the elf said, "My name's Artemis, by the way."

They walked upstairs and Artemis knelt down and opened her trunk. She dug through all the extra robes and hidden potion supplies. She pulled out a small piece of folded parchment and handed it to Leliana.

Dearest Leliana,

The L'homme de l'ordinateur, and the Doué projects seem to be what's causing the Cybermen, but I haven't figured out yet why they're here. It seems not many know about it, only a few. It also seems the project went dead, so that means either we stop it later or it fades. Even if you're right under my nose I feel like if I look away I could lose you. I have no way to get these to you, if you do get them, then that means if time works out right we eventually figure this out.

Be safe, bring help,

the Doctor

"Artemis, if I tell you this believe me. Read the letter. The Doctor is real. He's a man who helps. He accidentally landed in this dimension and is now on the run from Cybermen, or could be imprisoned, I don't know when he wrote this. I need help, and I'm wondering if you could be my help. You're a mage obviously, and I need that kind of help. Mages are clever, usually. Sometimes a bit snippy."

"Like Morrigan. Leliana, I know you traveled with the Warden ever since I heard your name. Leliana, you're the one who looked for Hawke, you're the one who joined the Inqu-"

"STOP!" Leliana yelled, "I'm a time traveler with the Doctor. I'm a bit ahead of my time. You know where I was going to the Urn, my second pilgrimage since I missed the Warden. That's when I first met the Doctor and have been traveling with him ever since. I don't remember too much about Hawke. I just remember that Hawke is the Champion of Kirkwall, and that's all I know."

"You don't remember Sister Nightingale?"

"Don't tell me! I don't know who Sister Nightingale is, I haven't met her yet. So don't tell me." Leliana said.

"Fine, but how are we going to look for the Doctor?"

"He has an elaborate plan he put together after his release. He must've wanted me to get this letter and get you. Which means you're coming with me... if you'd like."

"Please, I want to leave the Templars and the Circle. How do we leave?"

"Oh Artemis, it's so easy." Leliana smiled, typing in the sequence and grabbing the mage's hand, "Here we go!"

Suddenly they appeared in a spaceship. The spaceship was dark, it seemed as if it was abandoned.

"What is this place?" Artemis asked.

"This seems like an abandoned... I don't know. It's like a boat, but in space. A spaceship."

"I don't feel safe here." Artemis said, "And I've lived with Templars. This is creepy. It seems like it's filled with statues. Why would they need a statue of a man? He looks like a mage. I read something about these, this is a statue of Kaleva, the knight that killed Aveline, Knight of Orlais. If he hadn't killed her it's unlikely that women would be able to become chevalier."

Leliana scoffed, "I knew that." Don't be bitter, it's not becoming, Leliana bit her lip, "But how does Kaleva look like a mage?"

"Look over there, it's a... statue of Knight-Commander Meredith. Oh and Orsino. The Hawke siblings, the Warden's family prior to the Blight. This is quite interesting. But why would a 'spaceship' have a private mueseum."

Suddenly Leliana felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around.

"Doctor?" Leliana hugged him. He pulled away and pointed toward the mage.

"Who's this? Purple robes... hmm... Gandalf?"

"Artemis. I'm a mage from the Ferelden Circle Tower." the mage introduced herself, "Right now they probably are already hunting me down."

"Oh trust me Artie, they couldn't have found you. You're a long ways into the future. Look out there. This is the planet called Remein. Orlesians named it once planetary travel was involved."

"Of course." Both Leliana and Artemis said in unison.

"Sounds like..." Artemis began.

"Reminder. That must mean the Thedas is the reminder for the mages oppression and our closed-mindedness that allowed the innocent to die. Kirkwall was enough of a reminder." Leliana spoke.

"Um, so all these statues are of historical figures in Thedas. What about that?" the Doctor pointed to a statue of a woman who was leaning forward. She wore robes, and had her hair high in a bun.

"I don't remember that. Doctor? Why couldn't you escape earlier?"

"I don't have any way out. I'm stuck here. I fell out of the Time Vortex and landed here. Took out the Cyberman that fell with me, I ended up destabilizing them, they're all gone. I think we need to escape. If I had left any messages to you to help you get here, then that means I have to able to leave them. I've been writing some in advance. Either way, I can't have you two fading out of existence when the going gets tough. Leliana, take these cards. You should recognize them. Take them to where you found them, and leave them. Me and Artemis will stay here.

"See you Doctor, in like a minute." Leliana grabbed her vortex manipulator and faded through time, leaving Artemis and the Doctor together.

"So who are you?"

"Circle Mage, born in Orlais, and I'm in the Ferelden Circle Tower. I'm basically the smartest in my class, I know magic better than most." she said, "And that's not me bragging that's fact. Now 'Doctor,' how do we get out."

"I'm sorry, but I have to know what is this statue. It looks awfully familiar." the Doctor said taking a closer look at it.

"It's just a random girl in robes, it's probably Andraste. Did you know I was named after Andraste? My parents just switched and added and removed a few letters. Yes, it's true."

"Artie, please, give me a second." He looked behind the statue, and saw a grim reminder that perhaps he was not safe.

"What is it?"

"That isn't Andraste, Artemis. That's a Weeping Angel. When you look at them they're quantum-locked. They can't move. You can't kill stone. But when you look away, when you blink, when you can't see them even for a split second, they move. They're really fast. If they touch you, they'll kill you, they'll send you back in time, or they'll grab you and you won't be able to move. Now, we both need to look at it. Once Leliana comes back, we're going to leave with her, and leave this ship."

"Doctor, we should find out what this ship is. There is a chance there is a reason it is abandoned and that we're still breathing. It feels as if we're being watched, either that or something pivotal has happened that has incapacitated, incarcerated, or otherwise explains for the absence of people on this ship. Which means either the Angel did it... or..." Artemis hypothesised.

"We're being watched... but I'm not sure. It would be a bit more obvious. This could be a plan by the ones who made the Cybermen. If there's parallels between these two dimensions chances are the Daleks could be here too... we need to run. I can't tell whether the angel is going to kill us or simply, you know, stalk us. I'd rather not find out too much. Why didn't we go with Leliana?" the Doctor sighed.

"Because innocents could be on this ship. I'm not going to let them die simply because we want to live. You know it, I know it."

The Doctor sighed, for he knew that the possibility was extremely likely.

"Keep your eyes on that thing!" the Doctor chanted, turning around, "And don't blink. And don't make the lights go out. Seriously, once the lights go out we'll all be dead. We just have to wait it out for Leliana. I've fixed some of the TARDIS' problems and found ways around paradoxes. If we're lucky, we should...wait a second... Leliana should be back soon... Unless... Oh no... Oh this is bad." the Doctor said.

"What Doctor?" the elf asked tucking her hair behind her pointed ear, gulping, and widening her eyes at the angel in front of her.

"Her vortex manipulator probably broke. She'd be hear by now! It doesn't matter how long she takes setting out my plans, she would be back by now, which only means one thing. Her vortex manipulator is broken. We have to get out ourselves."

"This is ridiculous... and now I'm staring a statue that can kill me. How come they never told me anything about this. The Circle is supposed to know everything. The Circle is my place, I am confined to it, why am I chosen for this." Artemis laughed.

"Because Artie, you're better than them. The fact that you helped somebody so quickly proves your character, the fact you earned top markings on all of your studies, that you survived the Templar's abuse, that you managed to stay positive in the midst of all surrounding you. You deserve it most, and that will always be my decision. But it wasn't my decision that brought you along. It was Leliana's. We have to rescue her, but first we must go down. Down and find a way to stabilize the Time Vortex or find another Vortex Manipulator. We need to get back to the TARDIS, and then we can find Leliana. But right now my only priority is getting off of this place. We need to think."

"Doctor... the angel's gone."

"What?"

"The angel is gone."

"Did you look away."

"I might've blinked... I'm not sure."

"Well that explains a lot."

"What do you mean?"

"The angel isn't here to hurt us. It's going to lead us there. Look." the Doctor pointed at the exit. The door slid open, and the Doctor saw the Weeping Angel in a ta-da pose.

"Now we just need to blink to help it get on it's way. 1-2-3-4-5 BLINK!" the doctor chanted, walking forward. Artemis closed her eyes for two seconds and opened, and the angel was considerably further than she had thought it would be. They repeated this, but Artemis took in her surroundings.

The floor was made entirely of metal, on the sides little cylinder processors were churning lava into the ground, most likely using it as a power source. Watched as the angel instantly changed positions, most of them being in a walking/running position. They passed through another set of automatic doors, and it led into a two door lift. The lift had doors on all four walls. They closed their eyes again and felt themselves being lifted up as they both opened their eyes. Artemis stepped forward as the door opened up, leaving the Angel behind her field of view. The Doctor followed suit and saw an office. A familiar office room greeted them, and a rolling chair (something completely new to Artemis) was turned around looking at all the monitors. She saw many types of different Aliens.

"Welcome to our science facility. This is the true extent of the Cyberman Project. The L'homme. The everything. No doubt you've come here knowing the true future. The Cyberman know that upgrades may make you superior, but human intelligence will forever be dominant in predictions and hypothesizing, as robotics at quite one sided. They've kept me, moving my brain into many human hosts, and here I am. I've known you for quite some time Doctor. A long, long time." she laughed, standing up. The young woman had on a black jumpsuit which reminded the Doctor of old sci-fi flicks and video games, and two blaster pistols strapped to her waist. She grabbed them instinctively and twirling them around her finger and stopping them, aiming them right at the heads of both the Doctor and Artemis, "Of course, I haven't met you, or observed you, but I've closely studied you, for so long. I've been alive for so long, it no longer hurts when I have my extraction. It's been just a few years after my last extraction, that's why I look so young you know. Once I get around forty I'm replaced, I start over at eighteen." she shrugged, "They also backup my memory on a card. If you kill me and my brain, they'll load me into a cyberman who can figure out to program the knowledge onto a brain... yada yada yada... sorry they force me to do this speech." she twirled the pistols again and holstered them, "Now," she said plopping down into the chair and spinning around in it, "Ahh, I love this job. I get to live forever in an office and just watch others live their lives. It's amazing." she exclaimed sitting back down.

"Jeez, she rambles a lot." Artemis muttered under her breath.

"Give her a break, she hasn't had much social communication for how long she's been alive. This might be thousands or millions of years in the future and she might be thousands or millions of years old, this could be some of the first communications she's had in a long time, you shouldn't scold her for that."

"In fact, this is actually my... hundredth time of communication with humans. My last one was about a hundred years ago when a human escaped a testing chamber. It didn't end well. Had to shoot them through the eye because they would expose us. Took one hell-of-a shot. But it got the job done, you know."

There she goes again, Artemis thought.

"Do you have a vortex manipulator? Time Vortex teleporter? Anything?" the Doctor asked.

"Ah, you must be after your friend. I've been tracking an anomaly in our power." the woman turned around and typed, bringing up a chart on the fifty monitors in front of her. They all aligned in a perfect square.

The chart was normal with small inclines and declines, mostly at an equal rate, then suddenly there was a high jump up and down. Then another, where Leliana had left.

"I tracked it. I sent a few of our Cybermen to intercept her as she was leaving. We have her right here on board. This is the Orlesian Spacial Space Laboratories, also known as the OSSL. We have the technology to intercept any time manipulation going on and stop it, and redirect them to our holding cells. Right now she's in there.

The screen changed. Leliana was trapped in what looked like a lift with no doors out, just a metal cube. She was pounding on one side, frantically. There was no audio although it was easy to determine she was screaming, "HELP! HELP! DOCTOR!" She ran to another wall and began pounding again, still screaming.

"She's relentless. It's admirable. She's an Orlesian wallflower trapped in walls of what used to be used only to construct warrior's armor."

"She is no Orlesian wallflower. She's a bard, she traveled with the-"

"Save it Doctor, I just needed to know what response this would get out of you." the woman turned around and opened a text file called and the text document inside said

Random Doctor Facts, Interpretations, and Theories

To be added to the Doctor's Compendium next Extraction

-Loves friends

-Mostly hangs out with females

-Not from this dimension...

The list went on and on. The woman scrolled to the bottom and added, Cares genuinely for Leliana, and saved and closed it.

"Who are you?" Artemis asked.

"Polaris. I guide the scientists and Cybermen here. I'm mostly here to observe and look for errors." Polaris explained.

"Why you? Why do you they need a human, there's something called human-error." the Doctor said.

"Oh, precious Doctor. As I said before, humans hypothesize, and sometimes see things that are not apparent to thinkers that think precisely and without error. Therefore red flags are easier to detect for humans. They've had me for... about a million years. Maybe a bit less. I've lost track. When you're only job and only purpose is to watch a computer screen, sleep, watch the recaps on days that the lab down, recaps on what happened while you were sleeping, it's easy to loose track. I've been through so many bodies. I start a body at eighteen and leave it at fifty. Fifty minus eighteen. 32 years in a body. One million divided by 32..." Polaris thought.

"You've gone through 31,250 bodies!" Artemis shouted.

"All innocents..." the Doctor said.

Polaris laughed, "Doctor, Doctor, Doctor... you never do take a second to not worry. These bodies are grown in a lab. Without a brain. They're shells waiting to be filled by me. Every time on my fiftieth birthday, or my thirty-second, you take your pick, I walk down to the lab and I have five bodies. Any one of them are mine. I choose. This is the one I choose... four or five years ago, just about. I liked the brown hair and the eyes. Thought it looked hella good in a jumpsuit. I couldn't wait to observe it closer, the way it moved. I couldn't wait to ditch the grey hair."

"Look, I love your life story, but we need Leliana. Give her to us, let us leave along the Vortex Manipulator." Artemis commanded.

"Well, I'll strike up a deal with you."

"I knew this would be coming." the Doctor huffed.

"Doctor, I want to leave with you. I've spent about 30,000 bodies studying you, and I want to finally travel with you. I want to leave this place for a time, learn about the world first hand, so I can do my job better here." Polaris said.

"Thanks, but no thanks. You see, I don't take lunatics aboard the TARDIS."

"Well then." Polaris spun around and began typing into the Command Prompt.

/execute tilldeathdouspart 846

The screen shifted to Leliana. The ceiling began closing down on her. The camera, attached to the ceiling, moved down with it. Leliana kicked the walls and then pushed at the ceiling as it began to come down. It was going to crush her.

"FINE FINE FINE! STOP IT! You can come with me."

/execute cancel tilldeathdouspart 846

"There you go. Precious Leliana is safe. I took her vortex manipulator." Polaris jumped out of her chair with a smile and skipped over to the Doctor and Artemis, throwing the Doctor the Vortex Manipulator. Artemis lifted the panel on her left wrist, revealing a Vortex Manipulator embedded into her suit, "It's locked, Doctor, do you mind?" The Doctor hesitated, and then used his sonic screwdriver on it, she let out a cheer as they teleported into a room full of little boxes. They walked over to 846 and Polaris typed in the code Nightingale and the box opened up.

"Doctor!" she ran up to the Doctor and hugged him. She hugged Artemis next, and looked at Polaris. Leliana grit her teeth and punched her across her left jaw.

Polaris screeched and grabbed her left jaw. She raised her left arm up again, opening the metal flap plating with a flick on the fingers and quickly pressing a button, shooting a dart into Leliana's neck.

"Of all the..." Leliana grasped her neck and fell to the ground.

"What was that for?" the Doctor asked angrily, "You can't blame her."

"I've been waiting a million years to try that out!" Polaris jumped.

"Stop it. You're acting childish." the Doctor said.

"Childish. My childhood consisted of books and technology and absolutely no fun. I can blow off some steam when I want to... Doctor," she stressed the word Doctor in a breathy tone.

Polaris flicked the metal flap open and dialed the time co-ordinates that the Doctor specified, and they were off.

The Doctor dragged Leliana into the TARDIS, along with Artemis and Polaris.

"So, is this our first adventure?" Polaris asked.

"Yes, yes it is. Welcome Polaris, to the TARDIS. Hey, Artie, take a key!" the Doctor threw Artemis a key, Artemis stood up to catch it, and knelt back down to tend to Leliana, "You get a key once you prove to me that I can trust you."

"Doctor, I've lived longer than you, according to most of your entries in our Codex and Compendium. I think it should be the other way around." Polaris mocked him.

"Age is a number. I've known Leliana for a little bit longer than Artemis and Artemis got a key faster than Leliana. Artemis is trustworthy. You little brain-hopper, are not."

"Brain-hopper? You do know I haven't the slightest choice when I get extracted to the next body, I just choose which one."

"Childish." Artemis huffed, dropping Leliana's arm and walking over to the console, "This is amazing."

Polaris walked to the other side, feeling all the buttons, "I know right!"

Leliana got up, rubbing her head, "This feels terrible. What is she doing on the TARDIS?"

It was going to be a long time until the Doctor found his way back to his dimension. He might as well make the best of it with his archer, his mage, and his lunatic.

I proofread this pretty freaking fast so it must be riddled with mistakes. I already have a few of the other chapters ready but I'm not done proofing. If this one has any errors please inform me. Love ya'll lovelies. Make a review couldja.
