Chapter 11
Carrissa was frightened at first to see Jacobi. He was at least 3 feet taller than her, and the ten arms and legs didn't make him any less scary. The green color she could deal with though.
The Doctor was more comfortable with Jacobi in the T.A.R.D.I.S. He saw Clarrissa staring at Jacobi and decided it might be time to break the ice.
"Jacobi, this is Carrissa. Now did you know she is actually the one who fixed the T.A.R.D.I.S."
Jacobi was definitely surprised. He had gotten the wrong idea about humans. Maybe they weren't so bad. "Carrissa, I'm in awe. How did you know what to do?"
"Human intuition. Look for an ON/OFF switch." Carrissa tried her hardest to make eye contact as she spoke, but he had black beady eyes that were hard to look at.
Jacobi also recognised the fear in her voice. He wasn't mad. He saw that he must have looked shocking to someone who hadn't traveled in space before. He decided to focus on the Doctor and finding his new home.
"Any planets yet, Doctor?"
The Doctor beckoned Jacobi over to the monitor. "I'm doing a planetary scan for a planet with all the right requirements for your people. There is 4 planets that sound the best. What we do next is up to you."
"Well, I say we start with the closest planets. If none of them work, we will just have to increase the scan."
The first planet was called Alia. The outside was dark. The planet was bare with no sun. The only natural light was 6 moons that shown all the time. The air was difficult to breathe, but it was breathable. It obviously wasn't the right planet.
Nindy was the name of the next planet. The grass was a vibrant green, the trees a dark chocolate bark with soft pink leaves all year round. The only other species on the planet was wolf like creatures that may be a threat, but could easily be tamed as pets. The sky was bright, burning orange with white twinkling stars.
Carrissa was stunned by it.
"Jacobi I think this is the place." The Doctor said. He just wanted to leave. This place was beautiful, but it made him think of Gallifrey.
"Yes, Doctor. My people will come to this planet. We've done it. We've saved the Mohandy."
"Not to burst your bubble or anything," Carrissa chimed in. "But we need to get your people over here first."
"Right! I almost forgot." The Doctor slapped himself in the face. "I'll send the coordinates to your ship and get you back there."
The three went back to the T.A.R.D.I.S. on their way back to Jacobi's ship.
...
The Doctor and Carrissa dropped Jacobi off at his ship and said their goodbyes. Jacobi insisted they stay and have a celebratory dinner, but they declined. After seeing two different planets, Carrissa was ready to go home. Back into the T.A.R.D.I.S. for the Doctor and back home for Carrissa.
