Rose stood in the medilab as Dominous checked her over with his sonic screwdriver.
"Well Rose it looks like you are ready to take Terynia for a spin, so to speak. You have excellent artron energy levels more than enough to control her"
"Artron energy?"
He nodded, "You should have the knowledge inside your head, part of your studies, but it will take a while for your mind to take the knowledge on board. Artron energy is a form psionic/temporal energy, and all Timelords have a quantum of it running through our bodies. As a human travelling within the Tardis for 2 years you would have absorbed some of it, but not enough to cause damage. We use the Artron energy to help power up the Tardis and also to navigate her through time" Dominous stopped and stared at his screwdriver, "mmm interesting…"
"Dominous?"
He frowned and shrugged his shoulders, "There are levels of Huon energy running through you.."
"But I thought Huon energy could only be found within the heart of the Tardis, it exists nowhere else"
He nodded, "True, but then you did absorb the time vortex when you opened up the heart of the Tardis, maybe some if the vortex still runs through you?" He assessed her eyes for a moment
"Is that bad?"
He closed his eyes, a thoughtful look across his face, "It should be… but here you are standing here no longer human, that in itself should be impossible. This goes way beyond the knowledge I hold," he stroked her hand, "not to worry, I doubt time is through with you yet, maybe there will be a reason for it. But for now Rose Tyler back to the matter in hand"
He guided her out to the control room and stood with her in front of the view screen.
"Terynia?"
Yes Dominous
"We will now be showing Rose how to operate you…"
Rose interrupted placing a hand against the console, I don't want to cause you any damage, if you'd rather not…
Dominous smiled as warm energy from the console ran through the two of them. Rose stood delighted in the warmth and watched as colours revealed themselves in her mind; it felt as though someone was hugging her,
"It appears Rose that you have gained a friend," he patted the console once more, "You are such a compassionate creature I trust you with Terynia… and in saying that my own life"
The Terynia echoed this and Rose felt a tear fall down her cheek.
"Are you okay Rose?" Instantly Dominous took her hand and stared at her in concern.
"I'm fine," she smiled, "I'm just so happy, I haven't felt this way in such a long time…"
Humans, Dominous winked
Hey I'm a Timelady now
"No Rose Tyler you are far more than that, more than a species you are simply Rose"
Dominous kissed her hand and placed it on the view screen. "Terynia start to transfer control"
Rose felt energy run from her hand into the Tardis and suddenly she felt Terynia inside her mind, could see all time and space ahead of her.
Dominous put his hands to Rose's temples, there before you lies all of time and space. Dominous' voice was in her head, It surrounds us waiting… the fluctuations are times where anomalies have occurred or may occur. Before we move Terynia we will need to find our destination. Melanoa in the Crezza system, Terynia is showing it to us now, hold onto that thought and open your eyes.
Dominous guided her to the levers she would need, "This one is speed, this one is time and this one is location. Terynia is an old lady so some of the levers are a bit stiff and sometimes she can be a bit unresponsive, but as you get to know her you will know what to do; she will always help you. Now press this lever and hold that button"
Suddenly the familiar noise of the Tardis' engines started up, "I'm flying the tardis!"
He nodded cheerfully enjoying watching Rose's enthusiasm as she began to pull the levers which would lead them to Melanoa.
"I will go fetch us some drinks, Terynia seems to have the matter in hand" Dominous caressed a column, Oh Terynia what would I do without you
Terynia reached out and kissed his mind, Dominous what would I be without you
He walked away and whistled tunelessly as he made his way to the kitchen.
