The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Vol. 42 Chapter 8 All of Time and Space
the Hitchhiker's Guide has this to say on the subject of God.
"the universe was created by somesort of god, and some say that this was a bad move. the Babel Fish is proof of god and the argument goes something like this. "i refue to prove that i exist." says god. "for proof denies faith, and without faith i am nothing.".
"but" says man. "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? it proves that you exist so therefore you dont. QED.". "oh." says God. "i hadn't thought of that." and promply fanishes in a puff of logic."
in this case, of the babel fish, God doesn't exist so the Babel fish is proof of his existance. again. QED. Sheppard knew that there was something that had casued all things to happen and most of those explanations were solved by the words "time travel". however in the question of "which came first, the Chicken or the egg?" as the earth states, is either IDK or GDI (god did it). the people of Trall has a similar question which goes like this. "which came first, the chicken or the Ravenous Bug blatter beast of TRall?"
(Sheppard's POV)
i had looked around the cockpit and Sky was nowhere to be found. i saw the light coming faster and faster and faster.
then i was gone.

i woke up startled. i had looked at myself and it was strange becasue i was wearing the clothes i wore when i was at my school. then i looked at was infront of me. there was 2 white doors and on the right door, that had black windows on each door, was an old brownish metal phone. above the doors was a sign that had 5 lit light bulbs in front. the sign said, "XOB llac cilbup ECILOP". it took me a while to figure out that the lettering was backwards. it really said. "POLICE public call BOX". i was shocked until i looked around. i saw the biggest room in the history of rooms.
i was in the TARDIS. i looked and saw the Tardis console. i walked up the stairs slowly. then ran up to the conosle and hugged it. i had ran around the big, hexagonal control. the time rotor was going up and down. up and down. i could hear the tardis flight noises so the tardis was in flight. "oh THANK YOU GOD!" i shouted then i started to flipped levers. turn knobs and then when i was about to pull the tardis lever, i heard a voice say "HEY!"
i looked and saw a man wearing black pants, black shoes, a white pin-striped shirt with a red bow tie on. he also wore a tweed jacket and had a comover. "Who are you and what are you doing in my Tardis?" he said politly. "uh... uh... who are you?" i asked him. he looked at me very stern but he had a smile on. "im the Doctor... and who are you?" he asked...
(Barlow's POV)
the last thing i remember was hearing Sheppard tell me where i could rest for a little while. i had climbed down the latter which i pushed inward. i had found the nearest bed and plopped down in it. i closed my eyes and was then blinded.
i woke up on a chain floor... it was kinda dark. i looked to see a windsheild but it was dark blue out. where was i? i walked closer to the window. then i saw a contorl panel light up. in between the dashboard of the vessel i was in was 2 triangles with even smaller triangles with symbols on them. i pressed one. it lit up. i pressed another. it also lit up. oh my god. i was on Puddle Jumper from Stargate Atlantis.
then the entire ship had risen upward. i had seen the ocean water change color from dark blue, to blue to sky blue. it had then risen upwards above the ocean. the outside thrusters had extended and the ship had speeded towards the floating city of atlantis.
i was going to atlanits. the lost, ancient built, floating city of atlanits. with a stargate! better than a transport ship!
wait... i was going to atlantis... uh oh... what do i tell them?
(Sheppard's POV)
"im the Doctor... and who are you?" he asked. my mind was a total blank. this was like meeting a celebrity. i mean. its THE Doctor! i had to say something. come on speak! "im... sheppard... i need Tardis" i could imagine myself doing a facepalm. "what for?" he asked back. oh no another question. what do i say? "friends are lost... i need to find them." i had pointed to the console. "what?" he asked. i had slapped myself. "my name is Sheppard, and i need to find my friends Doctor!" i said.
the Cloister bell went off. what did i do? the Doctor then rushed to the console. grabbed a lever and another, and pushed them in different directions. i stepped back to watch. evey move he was doing, flipping switches, typing on his keyboard, and grabbing his computer, every single way that he has piloted the Tardis, every possible bit of information has flooded into my mind. then i heard the Tardis landing noise but it wasnt the Doctor's Tardis.
right near where i woke up, materialised the Tenth Doctor's Tardis. "oh no not again!" shouted the doctor. he ran up to the box, pulled out his sonic screwdriver, soniced the door and entered. he expected to come out of his doors and enter his Tardis but no. he had walked out. very confused. he had looked at me. looked at the box, at me then the box. he touched the wooden panel on the box. nothing happened.
"come here." he said to me. i had walked towards the box. "touch the box." he said. i had then put my hand on the wooden door of the box. the lantern the lit up and made a humming noise. i saw him smile a bit. "this isn't my box." he said. "this is yours." he said finally. i looked at the box and laughed like a mad man very loudly. "looks like there are 2 mad men with box" i said cheerfully. he laughed. "ha haa now you got it." he ran up to his console. he flicked a switch and out came a panel opened on his console.
"i only give these to people like me..." he had rummaged through the panel and finally took out a small blue box about the lenth of my hand. he tossed it to me and i caught it. i looked at him and opened it. inside was a Sonic Screwdriver. it was the 10th Doctor's screwdriver. it also came with 3 Tardis yale keys. i had almost cried at the site. i had looked at the doctorand then i had said "thank you doctor" i had walked inside my Tardis and closed the doors. i locked them. i ran up to the tenth doctor's console.
i had looked at the big coulum which was connecting the cieling to the console. i could see the loop structure where the tenth doctor through his coat. and even the coat was there! i had walked up to the console. i ran my hand against the orange layer, which was spread with controls. i got a video feed on my Tardis Screen. i had spun it over towards me. it was a static screen. "hello?" i said. i turned knobs and flipped a switch. then thinking quickly i had banged it with my fist. the screen shook then i got a picture. it was a live video feed of the 11th Doctor in his Tardis.
"Sheppard, im going to materialised out of this point in space so you can proceed to find your friends. do you know how to fly the Tardis?" he asked. i had touched the conosle and just like before, every detail about how to fly the Tardis had flooded in my mind. it was like when i had Serenity. Serenity... i wonder where that ship went to...oh well... i have the Tardis!
i had walked to the famous lever that the 10th doctor always pulls to make the Tardis go. i had then pulled it and felt the rumbling of the mechanics inside the wonderful time machine. i looked at the central colums inside moved up and down nearly colliding into each other. it was a beautiful site.
i loved this spectical but i still wondered where are barlow and Sky?
now that Sheppard has his favorite Tardis, how is Barlow going to get out of Atlantis? and where in Zarqon is Sky again?
