The elevator opened to the catacombs below the temple, as before the skulls turned in curiosity to "see" who was breaking their solitude. These heads were the oldest in the complex so she needed to move into the depths of the necropolis, she scanned the immediate area with her sonic tool, comparing it with her earlier scan, finding the anomalies indicating new areas. Moving silently in that direction, Autumn visually scanned the shelving, observing that they were showing less and less damage indicating she was moving in the right direction.
As she moved into the mausoleum something else was drawing her onward, a feeling, a delicate touch on her mind, almost imperceptible tug first left, then right. She gave herself into it, it led her to a box, an old box with metal binding, hundreds of years old. She was compelled to open it, the head inside seemed to have grown since being placed inside. The mental touch was stronger, the head slowly opened its eyes and opened it's mouth, it appeared to speak but no sound emitted from it. "Autumn Song, I need your help." The voice resonated in her head, "Take me home."
"Who are you?" she asked.
"I was called 'the face of Boe'," he cryptically replied. The heads around them, followed the exchange, turning from one to the other as they spoke, all except one shelf of heads that remained still. She moved towards them to get a better look, shocked, she recognized the dead face repeated in various stages of decay along the shelf, it was Jack.
"We must leave, now." She Just stood there looking at the dead immortal's severed heads. "NOW!" She jumped, "Please, Amelia, we need to go now. They will be here soon." Spurred into activity, she entered the coordinates in her mind. Grasping the box holding Boe, she activated the device.

The medical facility was known throughout the quadrant as the best, the sisters of the infinite schism gave the best care in the known galaxy. She materialized in the lobby, immediately attended by a nurse, she surrendered the box to her. "Thank you, Autumn. Please take care, do not be caught in the Shade. Your future should be bright." The nurse whisked him away, she was left alone echoes receding into the distance.
She felt the anger rise as The Face of Boe left. She had to do something, ideas swirled in her head, these scattered thoughts coalesced into a single mission. She did a few mental calculations anad entered a new destination into her TVM, hitting the activation button she vanished.

Icarus, stationary high orbit, nobody noticed as Autumn materialized on deck -2. She was making her way towards the forward artillery bay when something dawned on her, she made a detour to one of the empty mess halls.
She was shopping for a uniform, quickly changing she took her ID from her holster and pinned it to the uniform, quickly washing her face she checked her TVM to check the local time, she only had a few minutes, picking up the pace she headed for the teleport section. "Wait"...
She delivered the message for her younger self, leaving the section she made her way, again, into the artillery bay. She found the type of explosive she needed, entered coordinates and left the ship.

Autumn appeared on the outskirts of the bazaar, holding a large conical package, she entered the doorway of a single storey shack. Once out of sight, she took the burlap from the nuclear warhead and turned it over; emptying her pockets she began to construct a new detonation system. At no point in the operation did she wonder why Earth had a supply of planet-killer warheads in their possession.
An hour later, the planetoid split, sending shards of rock in a myriad of different trajectories; some caught in the gravity well of the planet, others into deep space. All that remained; dust, small rocks and crystals of liquids suddenly exposed to the cold of space began to create a halo around the third planet of the Eridani system.
