4012
"There are times when a strong ally is better then a moral one."
Callidus Dominus had just left a meeting with the Defence Forces in a border system. The destruction of Yakrit-A had made many worlds realise that, although they preferred peace, the Daleks would attack them all, including the inhabitants of this system. A robot trundled up to Dominus with a package. He turned. "Who is this from?" "From a man who calls himself Doctor Tempus Dominus."
"Relative of yours?" asked a six-limbed reptile, one of Dominus' Officers.
"Someone with my knowledge of Latin" said Dominus. "I will open it in my private rooms on my ship."
He walked into his rooms on his personal space ship, the Agrippa, named after a General and son-in-law of Augustus, and sat next to a bust of Augustus. "Agrippa!" he told his computer. "Yes sir" said Agrippa in a highly affable voice. "Music. Monarch of the Sea! I need some amusing music" said Callidus.
As the music, over two thousand years old, began to play, Callidus ordered the computer "Serve some of my usual drink." The usual drink was one part Draconian Branka, two parts Malphan Wine, and two parts a shrub that had been created in a Monastery orbiting Kepler-46b. "Very good sir" said the computer. A hatch opened and a container of the drink, that could be drained in a single mouthful, slid in. Dominus sipped up most of the drink, then opened the box. A hologram of the 7th Doctor appeared, sitting in a chair and drinking tea.
"I don't like working with you, Dominus, but I have rrresponsibilities against the Daleks!" said the Doctor. "You may know about the experiments being performed by Prrrofessor Ludmotre-Gequl!"
"Of course. But all the data was lost..." began Dominus, but the hologram spoke over him. It had evidently been recorded.
"Well I am here to say that I was able to rrrecover the data before the Daleks destroyed that world!" said the Doctor.
"There must be something wrong with the translator..." thought Dominus. "I can barely understand him..."
"I sent this here as this is one of the few places I have been able to locate you between the destruction of the world and 4013, as in Earth dating. I can get this to your forces but only by 4013. I can't send it to you before that due to the Web of Time, so I would prefer it to be as close to this date as possible. This is merely a recording, so leave your answer in the crystals of the caves of Suetonius."
The recording stopped. Dominus knew how important the data was. It was estimated that if it had been completed it could have driven the Daleks out of the Galaxy by now, but he understood not getting it now. He would never try to interfere with history, being, after all, a man of order. "Agrippa!" he said. "Bring up data on my arrangements in late 4013, Earth dating." Various dates appeared and Dominus scanned them. He smiled. He had found the right place. "Agrippa! Remind me as soon as I can to visit the Suetonius caves."
"Very good sir" replied the computer.
In the year 4014, on a Moon which was deserted with the atmosphere having been torn away centuries ago, the crystal caves of Suetonius were deserted. At the entrance there was a wheezing, groaning sound and a blue box appeared. The Doctor, wearing a spacesuit he had acquired 15 centuries ago, stepped into the cave. He strolled through the caves, looking at the incredible colours around him. At the end, on the ground he saw words, written in Latin using Malphan characters. "Tertium Nono quindecim millia. Primo Quercus Josephus." They would meet at the First Oak of Josephus, on the third day of the ninth month, 4013. "The University of Josephus" said the Doctor. "The Malphan school of Prrropaganda!"
