My Rose:

I just realized that I can't put dates on these letters. I mean, the TARDIS doesn't have a time, and it would be foolish to date them in Earth days, because I hardly ever travel to the same time any more. Oh well, it's not like you're going to read these anyway, right?

I seem to be fated for trouble wherever I go. How could New York in 1930 be so dangerous anyway? Well, take New York, add pig mutants, an evil business contractor, the slums of Hooverville, a crazy showgirl, and the Cult of Skaro, and it seems New York can be very dangerous.

That's right, the Cult of Skaro had escaped the void through a temporal shift.

When I first saw them, I was so angry I could hardly see straight. It was their fault that I lost you! But not only that, my people had died in the Time War, but the Daleks keep living on, no matter what I do. They just continue on, with no way of stopping them. Why won't they just die for good? My people died for nothing.

But one of the Daleks, Dalek Sec, he was different this time. He had undergone a transformation, if you will, using a human to change his DNA. The first Dalek human had been born. At first I thought the Daleks were changing, that maybe they could change their hateful ways and truly be different. I even tried to help them along by getting them off earth and finding their own planet to live. But I was wrong, only Dalek Sec had changed. The others in the Cult of Skaro rebelled against Sec and killed him. They also killed hundreds of humans in their so-called experiments.

I met many good people though, Solomon, who was shot by a Dalek defending his people, Harry, a boy from out of town living on his own, Laszlo, half mutated into one of the pig slaves by the Daleks, and his girl Tallulah (three l's and an h), one of the show girls in a local theatre. Laszlo almost died because of the changes forced on him, but I had to save him. I couldn't stand to see another person die by the hand of the Daleks after so many had died before my eyes already. I can't change what the Daleks did to him, but he can live quietly with Tallulah and have a fairly peaceful life.

I think this was a good experience for Martha, so I'm taking her home. I am both glad and saddened by this. Sad that she is leaving, but glad that I can finally be on my own again. I wonder how she will take the news. . .
