The Tardis flew about in the time vortex, and I stayed seated on the floor of the console room for sometime. The new decoration was fantastic, it matched her personality perfectly. A bit futuristic with a dash of old. Instead of the old golden walls now it had more a silver tint, with the floor being mostly transparent. The lights on the wall were a bright green, giving the room an earthly vibe.

New Tardis for a new Rani, simply brilliant. Expect that while the Tardis knew exactly what she wanted, I didn't. I was born of two subconscious, a regenerated personality like no one has ever seen. Mostly Time Lord with a dash of humanity, a hybrid really.

And this hybrid really needed a new look, or at least a shower to kill off the ape germs and a new set of clothes. I dashed through the Tardis, who had just been primed with my biological imprint after I operated her for the first time to launch her into the time vortex, and the sentient beauty that she was helped out by giving me a large bubble bath.

After I soaked up in the bath for quite some time I went in search of a worthy outfit. Generally each regeneration needed a new style to go along with new likes, but I could already tell I was fickle. Much like a human I had the feeling I was going to randomly change styles, much like Time I was in permanent flux.

After trying about twenty something outfits I ended up wearing a red-wine colored shirt, black skinny jeans that showed my new mile-long legs and a pair of black ankle boots. However something was missing. I roamed around the closet that the Tardis had created until I found what I was looking for. I saw it from a distance and I let out a smirk before running to it. It was this beautiful black leather jacket that just screamed punk, I pulled it over my back and walked into the large mirror.

I checked myself out, it looked good but ... something was still missing. I carefully glanced at my face and realised what was missing. The Rina in me was missing her dark make up, except this me would be more punk that goth. At least until I felt like doing a makeover again.

I put on some make up, that the Tardis had randomly created and thrown at my head. Yeah this Tardis was cheeky, but then again she was a War Tardis so she kind of had a right to be. A part of me was against using human products on my skin, never mind the fact that I was already hot without it, but I went along with it. In the end it gave me a darker look, but nothing like what Rina was fond of wearing.

Having done that I walked into the console room and threw myself into the captain chair in a lazy manner. Take a bath, check. Chose clothes, check. Now what? What should I do? Should I go annoy the Doctor? No, too soon! I need a vacation to get the patience to babysit him again.

Where to tho? Both Nari and Rina had some places they wanted to go. Nari mostly had some planets she wanted to visit to acquire experiments for her experiments. Rina wanted to check out the Asian continent in Planet Earth, and try out new eccentric foods.

However I wasn't the previous The Rani, Nari as I call her now, and I wasn't like Rina either. I did enjoy science, I did enjoy experimentation and figuring out the unknown but unlike her I had a sense of morality. Not much mind you, but at least a bit that had come from the human part of me.

So yes I loved science and I would never stop doing experiments but I didn't really feel the need to experiment on living tests subjects if there really wasn't a need. From my memories I knew that Nari could have done most of her experiments without using alive test subjects, she just didn't feel the need to do it the hard way. I, on the other hand, didn't feel like spending my time doing dissections which sounded super boring.

Asia also sounded boring to me, Rina wanted to learn more about her ancestors but me? Sure I liked sushi as much as the next person but I've had enough of earth and the apes to last me lifetime after just one month.

So after I crossed out Earth and Planets with interesting living test subjects what was left was the rest of the universe, which thankfully was quite large. With that in mind I put the destination in random and let the Tardis take me out for a spin across the stars.

My first random stop annoyed me because it was crawling with apes, my pretty sure it was my Tardis sense of humor coming through. Since the pilot decided no earth, the ship decided to go to a space station in the 378th century created by humans. Eridani-6 was a space station mostly used for trade, fuel and repairs. Which meant it was totally boring for little old me since I had no need for such things.

So instead I went shopping, where there's trade there's bound to be some interesting things. I ended up getting my hands on a Sontaran cordolaine field that effects metals such as copper, I didn't exactly know why such a thing felt important to have but I felt it was something to do with the future. Why would I need something that mostly just stops primitive firearms and their projectiles not to fire? Don't known, unless I asked Rina. I just got a felling when I looked at the thing, like I knew it would be helpful.

I had their memories, but somethings were blurry. Time Lords had great memory capacity, they remember mostly everything in precise detail. So the best I could come up with it was something like what humans experienced as they grew older.

For example,human children learned how to read and write but as they grew older it became rare for them to actually remember the lessons they previously had, but they still retained the knowledge.

My memories of Nari were like that, I didn't remember all of the classes in the Academy as I should have but I retained the information. Of course there were also important memories that remained, humans didn't retain memories of classes because they were boring but they did retain memories of playing with their friends as children because they were fun. Much like that I also remembered social interactions more vividly than other boring events.

However Rina's memories were slightly different. I remembered most of her life, but the details were more prominent in the more recent memories except for on small thing ... Doctor Who. I could recall the first season of what she called the New Who, the rest however not so much. I did have imprints, ideas that remained.

Like 10th Doctor with Rose,battling Cybermen and Daleks in Canary Wharf. Or Martha Jones, the Year that Never Was and the Master. Or even Doctor-Donna versus Davros. Something made sense, others not so much.

I could vaguely recall that Rose, Martha and Donna were the Doctor's pets. How the Daleks, and most importantly Davros,were still alive was a complete mystery. The Year that Never Was sounded like a paradox waiting to happen. The only thing that made somewhat sense was the Master somehow finding a way to still be alive and kicking.

So I really had no idea why I needed some Sontaran cordolaine but I wasn't going to fight my gut feeling. I searched the bazar for other interesting things but nothing else called to me. Half a hour later I was back in the Tardis, I had some Sontaran technology to play that thing was meant to be useful I was going to make it even better.

Nari was a great scientist and while she did create magic while in her lab it wasn't the only thing she was good at. She was completely unstoppable when it came to engineering. It was why the Council wanted to control her so badly, they wanted her in charge of the weapons because they were aware that if any Time Lord could figure out a weapon to mass destruct the Daleks it would be her.

It was why she was put in charge of "The Moment". During the war all of the forbidden doomsday ancient weapons in the Omega Arsenal were wielded against the Daleks except "The Moment" because it hadn't been built, it was just a simple design. A very basic design that had never been completed. As such, because of her ability she was forced not only to complete it but also to make it from scratch. Not many could have done it, but she did even if engineering was just a hobby.

Nari personally preferred neurochemistry, but I on the other hand thought that engineering sounded much more fun. Not just the weapons, but all of it. The things I could create were infinite. Like making this pathetic Sontaran tech a piece of art.

Time in the vortex was hard to count, but I stayed at least a few days taking the Sontaran field apart while adding some extras. I had the jamming signal target more than just metal, I could shift it to plastic or electronics. I was thinking of other things to add at the moment, if only I could make it work on Dalekanium.

I really wanted to test it on some Autons or some Cybermen, it would be quite the party. Better than that tho, I manage to stash the field into a normal looking metallic bracelet. I was taking fancy accessories to a whole different level.

While the Tardis was great I was growing antsy. The human in me wanted adventure, because I was in a time travelling ship that could explore the universe and instead I was staying inside playing with technology. I put the destination in random again and off I went in search of adventure.

This time the Tardis wasn't a big meanie, I got a human free planet. Now this was the vocation I needed!

It was Cheem. My vocation was in a jungle world that had talking trees, I'm not sure but my best bet was that the Tardis was messing with me somehow. This ship of mine had some kind of dark sense of humor because I wanted adventure, not hippie talking trees.

The Trees of Cheem were a peaceful race, they kept to themselves and spend most of their days paying respect to their ancestors with boring talks of peace and love. The moment they saw me they knew who I was, they had known about the Time Wars and welcomed me into their mist with open arms.

They only took action against invaders, which I was not. From the Intel I gathered a few years back some human colonists tried to invade Cheem to cut down the Trees, it didn't end well for them. The Trees weren't the only species living in Cheem, another kind lived with the trees in peace. The Trees of Cheem shared a part of their forest with the Vashta Nerada, let's just say only the human bones remained from such an attempt.

A bunch of swarming carnivores living in peace with trees, what a marvel. The Vashta Nerada were the true protectors of this planet because the Trees enjoyed their peace too much to war against colonists. They would have been destroyed if not for the air piranhas, the Trees got lucky really.

I seriously wanted to just grab a bunch of them and send them to Woodstock, now that would be a great social experiment. I'm pretty sure both races would be too high to notice their differences, the Doctor would surely aprove of my way of making humans and trees get along. Even if it was because they were high.

That was another reason why I compared the Trees to hippies, they enjoyed smoking a herb called 'the spice' that apparently grew near the roots of their ancestors. For some species, like humans, it worked mostly like poison but on the Trees of Cheem it had a psychoactive effect that resulted in feeling euphoria and relaxation.

I might also have dabbled into one or two of their gatherings, since the effects on Time Lords were quite similar to the effects on the trees. I was on vocation, I should at least enjoy it. By the time I left I was not only quite relaxed but I had also gotten some great samples.

I got a few samples of the spice, I wanted to figure out what were its biological effects. When I tried it I didn't know what it would do to a Time Lord, I admit I did it without testing it first, but It all went well and I would have detoxed if it was poisonous. But still, a herb that effected superior Time Lord biology was quite the find. I might need to test it on other subjects, the Doctor and the Master are worthy lab rats. Oh the ideas I have.

I also got some samples from the Trees of Cheem, I wondered if I could change my land-mines to turn people into trees but retain they consciousness bit mixing it with some Trees of Cheem DNA. An interesting idea, it's always good to update old inventions.

I stashed the samples in the lab for a latter date and when to the console room to check on the recent readings about the Doctor. In the parallel universe I not only connected our Tardises but also left a small beacon that told me where the hell he was, either to avoid him or to find him when I wanted to.

Apparently he was on Earth, in 1953. I let out a sigh, why couldn't he be in the 20's ? The 50's were boring and the clothes were just a disaster. There's no way I was going to that decade, I might wait for him to go somewhere else.

I launched myself into the captain's seat like a bored cat in the middle of the summer, I wanted to go somewhere else but if I put the Tardis on random again I'm pretty sure this time she was going to drop me on some part of earth. Possibly before the discovery that taking a bath didn't kill you.

"I'm bored." I groaned out loud. "And speaking to myself again."

"What's so bad about speaking to yourself?" A voice replied and I jumped in shock to look to where it came from.

"Rina?" I asked, looking at human me. She was near the console with a silly smile on her face, dressed mostly in black. She had on a short dress with black thighs, a pair of combat boots with heels and a red jacket. Even inside the Tardis she had on some red-tinted sunglasses that matched her jacket while her hair was up in a messy hairdo. Make up wise she had on her epic black lipstick that made her smile more deep.

"Hello other me." She greeted with wave. "You sounded bored, I thought I could give you an idea where to go next."

"Why does it sound like you just want to chose the next destination?" I replied, rolling my eyes.

"Because I do, but I'm you so... so do you." The Asian girl explained.

"Never mind that, how can I see you?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at her form.

"Dude, I'm like a hologram or something. I think it's this old girl." Rina replied, nodding at the console. "By the way, we should name her. Just calling her by Tardis seems kind of offensive."

"We can think of a name later." I replied, knowing Rina was thinking about switching around the letters of our name to form yet another stupid name. I better just randomly pick a name for the Tardis later. "From the looks of it the Tardis accessed the part in my brain were you're stored and pulled you out forming a mental link with an holographic image. And here I was thinking I could keep you guys inside my brain without having to deal with you."

"Rude." Rina replied, rolling her eyes. "I just popped in for a visit, you can kick me out later. But first I choose the next adventure."

"Fine." I groaned, walking towards the console. "Where do you want to go? And you better not say earth or anywhere near the Doctors timeline before Pete's universe."

"I want to go to Zairon." Rina declared, already half expecting my response.

"You must be joking." I bemoaned, looking at her with narrowed eyes.

"It's not earth." Rina said, shrugging. "It's just earth-like planet that's ruled by humans, but it also happens to by the planet where the Japanese settled in. It's like ancient japan meets space, there's even an emperor. It's like all my dreams come true. You know you want to!"

"I really don't." I replied, not even a little bit convinced. "And where are you getting your information? Who told you about Zairon?"

"Nari did, I think she was trying to get rid of me but I was actually annoying on purpose to get information." The human consciousness said proudly, the Slytherin was strong within this one. "Did I mention there's samurais?"

I remained quiet as she gave me puppy eyes. It took me a few seconds until I was defeated by the pleading look on her face. I did retain possession of this body while she become a subconscious, and basically lost her universe and life. I owed her one.

"Fine."

Why do I get the felling I'm going to regret this?
