Emergency Program One

Four

"Emergency Program One has now been activated."

"Leela listen to me, I know sometimes it has been difficult to understand some of the things we have seen on our journeys together but I need you to try and understand this."

"Leela, do you remember our fight against the Fendaleene? Of course you do you are uneducated savage but you are definitely not at all stupid."

"What I'm trying to say Leela is that, there are things in this universe that go beyond our laws of physics, our perception of reality, I know I'm asking a lot Leela but do try and stay with me I know it's confusing it confused me when I heard it long ago."

"What I suppose I am trying to get at is, the universe is far more dangerous than you think and I all ready know that you think it's dangerous enough, we really do have to break that terrible habit you have of stabbing people."

"Savage, you aren't ready to see face these sort of things, they are dangerous and only a Time Lord or a being with an equally superior mind can battle them, I do not say this to insult you, I simply say it as a fact, you can not help with the fight savage."

"So, the TARDIS is taking you home, you can help the Sevateem, you've learned a very great deal, I'm very proud of you. Very proud indeed."

"Well I'd better go off and die now, after all that I just said it would be very awkward if I survived wouldn't it?"

"Goodbye Savage, I'll miss you."

And then, the curley hair man with the wide eyes and the large smile faded away and Leela stood tall, she was a warrior of the Seveteem she would not break or cry like a child, she would stand strong.

But there was no one else here, so she allowed herself a single tear.

"I will miss you wise one."
