Chapter 4
The Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS had landed upon the Battlestar Chronos. It was the past before the destruction of the Colony Worlds by the Cylons. The Doctor was not in such a great mood, due to personal circumstances.. a breakup with River is not fun, after all.
The Battlestar Chronos was a military vessel and the Doctor together with Amy and Rory had been taken to the ship's Admiral, Admiral Helena Cain.
Suddenly the ship started to rock. Battlestar Chronos had arrived at the Imsida System and it was being bombarded.
By a massive number of meteorites!
"Shouldn't this have been checked?" Cain thought. But in reality the Faster-Than-Light (FTL) jumps these Battleships were equipped with could not detect them before a leap.
"This region was supposed to have been explored! Our Starcharts did not indicate asteroids or meteors!" Cain said. "I need to go to the Bridge. You three come with me"
The small group made it to the Bridge. "Marvellous ship you have here, Admiral", the Doctor commented.
"I still haven't forgotten you", the Admiral replied. "Bridge Officer, Evasive manoeuvres! Now! "
"How many times will I tell you. We just found ourselves here. We might be able to help you." the Doctor said.
"I do not need any help from people like you"
Suddenly, on screen, a large saucer shaped craft was visible. And now it was clear what had happened.
The Daleks had explored this region, and blew up a whole planet after extracting all the naquadria from it and making it unstable.
"You need all the help you can get. You have just encountered the Daleks", the Doctor explained, almost smiling. "They are pure killers, genocidal creatures."
MEANWHILE ON KOBOL
The Tenth Doctor had helped a group of survivors from Caprica escape certain death. His TARDIS had taken them back in time, to the planet Kobol which the old homeworld of humanity. All the ancestors of the humans on the Twelve Colonies had come from that planet originally.
Kobol had been ruled by the "Lords of Kobol" - beings who were in reality Alterrans or Ancients who had enjoyed being thought of as "gods".
Thirteen tribes had lived here. One of them was a tribe of Cylons created in humanoid form, but this information was lost to legends. This thirteenth tribe had left it was said for the planet Earth, thanks to a vaguely named, "the one whose name must not be spoken", also called "he who must not be named".
And some 2000 years later a war started, and after "The Blaze", the 12 tribes left themselves in a "Galleon" spacecraft. This was called the "Great Exodus" by the Scrolls. The Scrolls of Pythia.
And Zeus (Jupiter) – leader of the Ancients on Kobol – had warned the twelve tribes. Any return to Kobol would result in a price for blood. Kobol would be protected from anyone returning here.
Only this hadn't happened yet, the Doctor thought, or they would be in great trouble.
After the TARDIS materialised, the Doctor told the survivors to stay inside, while he took Joanna and Joseph with him to see what they would find outside. Joanna was from Picon, while Joseph was from Tauron.
The world outside looked bright and as beautiful as it would ever be. The exodus had not happened yet, that was clear. There was colourful lush vegetation, people could be seen, cities – futuristic ones – could be seen on the horizon. The "Last War of Kobol" hadn't happened yet.
They had landed very close to a market.
And the people they saw were from the tribes. Including the Thirteenth.
But the Doctor noticed that the members of the Thirteenth tribe were slaves.
This was a slave market. And people from the other tribe all treated these slaves badly, very badly. In all sorts of ways, ignoring their needs, let alone their rights.
The Doctor would not let this go on. This would end. Now.
Zeus was levying a slave tax of ten percent, one of the sellers told Joseph as he was enquiring.
The Doctor scanned one of the slaves with his sonic screwdriver.
Once this was completed, he told Joseph and Joanna to wait while he went back to the TARDIS.
So these people were Gangers, he realised.
And, because they were created machines, humanoid Cylons as they were called, they weren't considered people with souls even though they had a humanoid appearance. They mistreated them because they said, the gangers were without "real feelings" even though their software allowed for emotions.
Joseph talked to one of the slaves. After a while he shook his hand and looked surprised when nothing much happened. It was like he was expecting something. He did not like this. He looked at his tattooed arm.
The tattoo was that of a snake.
THOUGHTS!
Details to be revealed later!
Apologies for the explanations of BSG Pre-History, but it was required.
The snake motif is from classical Doctor Who. It has featured in earlier fanfics of mine too.
The stories are intertwining with THE LAWS, I have a plan ! I still haven't watched all BSG eps... :(
Hope you are enjoying this. It's true my chapters tend to be short. Apologies but it's my style.
