A/N Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter. I adore you guys!

Here is story #3 'The Gogan Colonisation'. It features the return of an old Doctor Who enemy who will be mentioned in this chapter.

Also, I wanted to add that I do not wish to offend anyone. I have stuck to canon very closely when it comes to those villains and I am sorry if it comes across that I am being a bigot or fetishizing homosexuality. I sincerely apologise if I offend anyone.

Oh, and I should add that the TARDIS does not translate Gallifreyan. Not for anyone. Not even for Rose.

The history of Gallifrey is mostly based off canon but some of it is my own take on it.

Happy Reading!

The Gogan Colonisation: Goga

The earliest known rulers of Gallifrey were the Pythia. They were telepathic beings who were very powerful and had the ability to see the future. Their time travel abilities were strictly primitive and unsuccessful. Yet even without time travel, they were feared throughout the universe. To end their rule of tyranny, the last Pythia cursed the Gallifreyans with infertility and committed suicide. Further details of this history were locked away in the Black Scrolls of Rassilon and are forbidden knowledge.

Rose flicked the page to the chapter on Rassilon.

Rassilon was one of the main founders of the Time Lord society. Following Pythia's curse, he developed the technology of looms which would produce the new generation of Gallifreyans. He created houses and the Academy to ensure that the new Gallifreyans (more commonly known as Time Lords) would not turn into tyrants like their ancestors.

Rassilon was assisted by Omega.

Rose stopped reading and turned to the part about Omega.

Omega was an intergalactic engineer who revolutionised the notion of time travel by exploding a star and using it to boost Gallifrey's energy reserves. Gallifreyans now had time travel but Omega paid the ultimate price by sacrificing himself into the blackhole created by the stellar explosion. It was Rassilon and the Other who brought the Eye of Harmony to Gallifrey which fuels all forms of time travel for the Time Lords to this day.

Gotcha, Rose thought as she saw the part about the Other. She hastily flicked the pages to find the chapter on the Other.

There is no account of the Other's true name but it was said that he was unlike any Gallifreyan of the time. His intellect was on par with Rassilon and Omega yet it was rumoured that he despised the notion of a strict Time Lord society. He wished for time travel to be used as a means of fighting the evil in the universe which went against everything that the new society was based on.

Apart from his usual bouts of eccentricity, the Other was also distinctive for...

"Whatcha reading?"

Rose jumped slightly and snapped the book shut. "Nothing," she said, trying not to look too guilty.

"Yeah right," snorted Amy. "You are the worst liar I know. Was it something naughty?" she asked, her eyes sparkling.

"No," said Rose, rolling her eyes. "It was just history."

"Whose?" asked Amy.

"Gallifrey," answered Rose, not wanting to mention 'the Other'.

Amy glanced at the book. "You can read that?" she asked, in surprise.

Rose looked a bit confused. "Why shouldn't I be able to?"

"It's just a whole bunch of swirls and loops and circles," she answered.

Rose opened the book and flicked through the pages. She could still read it but Amy looked confused, meaning that she couldn't read it. "It must be in Gallifreyan," said Rose. "The TARDIS is translating for me. I don't know why it isn't happening for you."

"Maybe it doesn't like me," said Amy, sounding distinctly put out.

"The Doctor seemed a bit surprised when I told him that the TARDIS translated Gallifreyan for me. He never did explain it properly," said Rose absently. It had to be the TARDIS translating. How else could she read it? She growled in frustration. "Why doesn't that man ever give a straight answer?" she muttered.

"Whoa there, wolfie," said Amy. "Calm down. What's the matter?"

Rose closed the book with a sigh. She had gone in search of the history of the Other because the Bad Wolf defence was the Other's work and Rose found herself curious about him. Why could she activate his defence? She had managed to wheedle out that 'Arkytior' meant 'rose' from the Doctor, but Rose knew it must be deeper than that.

The Doctor hadn't been helpful at all. "It's just a coincidence, Rose. I'm sure that it is nothing to worry about."

Rose looked at Amy. "Did you just call me 'wolfie'?" she asked.

"Yeah," grinned Amy.

"Don't," said Rose, making a face.

Amy laughed. "Fine," she said. "So, what did the good ol' Doc do now?"

Rose shook her head. "Just the usual stuff," she said. "Never mind. Speaking of, where is himself and Rory?"

"Playing Somesian chess," said Amy.

"What's that?" Rose asked in interest.

"Don't really know. I had never even heard of it before now. But so far, Rory keeps beating the Doctor," she giggled.

They heard a loud thud that told them that the TARDIS had arrived somewhere. They glanced at each other in surprise and left the library together, Rose dropping the book on the table as she did. Out in the console room, they found Rory grinning unashamedly while the Doctor did the post-flight checks with a sulky look on his face.

"Have we landed?" Amy asked, looking between the Doctor and Rory.

"Yes," answered the Doctor. "The third segment of the key is at these coordinates."

Amy read the coordinates and smiled. "Oh, this is brilliant," she said.

"You know it?" Rory asked.

"It's the planet of Goga," she answered with a bright grin. "Early 36th century, if I'm reading the coordinates right."

The Doctor made a noise of acknowledgment. "Good thing too," he said. "Goga is at its peak in early 36th century. Wonderfully commercial and without invasions."

"This isn't like the Time Agency situation again, is it?" Rose asked warily. "We're not going to be a catalyst for its decline, are we?"

"You two were the catalyst for the Time Agency breaking up?" Amy asked in surprise.

The Doctor nodded. "We took the CIA's proposition to Captain Harkness," he said. "I'm supposing you were one of the Time Agents afflicted with the disorder that put you in a c0ma."

Amy nodded. "They never learned the real name of the disorder," she said.

The Doctor and Rose met each other's gaze and smiled. "Better that way," said the Doctor.

Before Amy could ask him to elaborate on that, Rory frowned. "Is this supposed to happen?" he asked, pointing to one of the smaller screens.

Amy, who was the closest to him, walked over and read the screen over his shoulder. "The coordinates have changed," she said, surprised.

The Doctor's brow furrowed. "Read out the new ones," he said.

"12-9-5-2-3," she read out. "That's strange. The space coordinates are the same; it's the time coordinates that have changed."

"The segment has moved through time?" Rose asked in surprise.

"I think so, yes," said the Doctor.

"But that's just the least of our worries right now," said Amy. "Look at the time coordinates. It's not early 36th century anymore. It's the late 38th."

"Oh no," groaned the Doctor.

"Why? What happens in late 38th century?" Rose asked as she and Rory looked curious.

"By this time, Goga has been colonised," said the Doctor.

"By whom?" asked Rory.

Amy and the Doctor exchanged dismayed looks. "The Drahvins."

The visitor's arrival centre on Goga was all sleek lines and glass structures. There were rows upon rows of desks where employees were processing the new arrivals. Every single arrival on the planet was monitored and regulated through this centre.

"State your names, relationship status and purpose for the visit," one of the employees asked the couple in front of her.

"Penny Daniels and Naomi van Duren," one of them answered.

"We are married," her wife answered, with a smile. "And we are here to observe your ways and learn."

The employee smiled welcomingly at them. "Welcome to Goga, Penny Daniels and Naomi van Duren. We hope you enjoy your stay in our wonderful society."

The two women nodded and were allowed to leave the visitor's centre. At the other desk, another couple was being processed.

"State your names, relationship status and purpose for the visit."

"Fay Arri and Ben Desmond, we are married and here on our honeymoon," Fay answered with a beaming smile.

The employee nodded. "Kindly make your way to that office," she pointed out.

Fay and Ben exchanged a slightly confused look but went towards the office. A woman sat at the table and she looked up and smiled at them. "Oh do come in," she said. "My name is Bela. You must be Fay Arri and Ben Desmond." At their nods, her smile widened. "May I ask who recommended Goga as a honeymoon destination?" she asked.

"A friend of mine came here with her wife a few years ago," Fay answered.

Bela looked at Ben. "Ben Desmond, kindly observe all the employees at this venue and give us your opinion."

Ben looked confused but looked around the visitor's centre from a window in Bela's office. His eyes widened when he realised that all the employees were female. Not only that but they were dressed in the same blue and white pinafore and had blonde hair tied up in a chignon. There were black dots lining the tops of their eyes. He gulped and looked back at Bela whose smile was distinctly sinister now. Unlike the employees, her pinafore was scarlet and white.

"Male kind are not welcome on Goga," Bela continued in a sweet voice.

Fay and Ben looked horrified but before they could think of leaving, Bela pressed some sort of an alarm. Immediately, two women dressed and looking similar to the employees arrived there. "Scan the male," Bela ordered.

One of the guards took out a small, grey scanner and held it at Ben's skull. He yelped in pain as it scanned him. "What are you doing to him?" Fay asked, scared.

"Don't worry, we are only analysing his potential," said Bela sweetly. "If he registers an 89 or higher, he will be processed for mating. If not, he shall be executed." Fay let out a cry but was restrained by one of the guards with a firm hand on her shoulder. "What does he register?" Bela asked.

"76," answered the guard.

"Take him to the execution chamber then," Bela ordered.

"No! Let him go!" Fay shouted as Ben began to struggle. "Help!"

"Calm down, Fay Arri," Bela said soothingly. "You won't be harmed."

"What will you do to me?" she asked in a frightened voice.

"You shall be introduced to our Sisterhood," said Bela comfortingly. "A few days with them and you will realise the kind of animals that male kind are." She nodded at the guards as they took Fay and Ben away in different directions, screaming the whole way.

Bela sighed as they left. There's gratitude for you, she thought. "Next!" she called.

"So men are not allowed?" Rose asked.

"Drahvins believe that men use up more resources than they are worth, so they kill them," answered the Doctor with a grimace as he piloted them to the new coordinates. "Only a few are kept alive for the purpose of reproduction."

"Bloody hell," said Rory. "They're like bees."

"That is more accurate than you would believe, Rory," said the Doctor. "Drahvins have a very fixed social structure. There are the Elite, who have names and are recognisable by their scarlet clothing."

"The Elite are usually the leaders, scientists, government officers, so on," explained Amy. "They are actually born from a chosen male and another Elite Drahvin."

"Then there are the slave class who do all the menial work," said the Doctor. "They are identified by their blue clothes. The slave class are artificially grown and have limited intelligence and no concept of free-thinking."

"So, we've got the queen bees and the worker bees and males who are killed after their purpose is over," said Rory with an angry frown.

"That is horrible!" said Rose.

"That's how the Drahvins are," shrugged Amy. "Their planet, Drahva, was destroyed and they have colonised several planets since. Goga is one of the largest Drahvin colonies."

"We have to do something about this, don't we?" asked Rory. "I mean, we can't just let this go on."

The Doctor sighed. "Explain it to them, Amy," he said.

Amy looked at Rose and Rory. "The Drahvin era is fixed in history," she said. "Believe me, I did a lot of work in this time period. Changing this would be like stopping one of your World Wars or unsinking the Titanic."

"Meaning, it would be catastrophic," said the Doctor.

"So we can't do anything?" asked Rose, shocked.

"I'm afraid not," said the Doctor. "We have to get the segment and get out of here. That is all."

"Oh that would be easy," said Rory sarcastically. "Only they would haul us for mating or kill us the moment we step out of the TARDIS."

"Yes, I agree it's a conundrum," said the Doctor.

"What if just Amy and I go?" asked Rose.

"That could work," Amy agreed at once.

The Doctor stared at them in surprise. "No, absolutely not," he said.

"Yeah, what if you need help?" asked Rory, agreeing with the Doctor.

"We can look after ourselves," said Rose. "Amy knows all about this time period and I have got her back."

Amy beamed at her. "Works for me," she nodded.

"It'll be fine," said Rose, looking pleadingly at the Doctor. "We'll take the core and be in and out as quickly as possible."

"Doctor, you can't let them do this," said Rory as the Doctor got a contemplative look on his face.

Amy glared at him. "It's the easiest way. They won't even give us a second glance. We can locate the segment and be here back in time for tea."

The Doctor sighed and unplugged the core from the console. "You locate the segment and bring it back at once," he said, looking at both of them seriously. "First sign of trouble and you come back, understand? The segment is not worth your lives."

Amy and Rose nodded earnestly. "We'll be fine, Doctor," said Amy.

The Doctor nodded in resignation and handed the core over to Rose. "Don't lose this," he warned.

"I won't," said Rose, slipping it inside the pocket of her jacket.

"Alright then," said the Doctor. "I wish you both the best."

"Thanks Doc, we'll be back before you know it," winked Amy. "See you, Rory."

"Yeah, bye," said Rory as Amy and Rose grinned at them and left the TARDIS. "This is a bad idea," he said to the Doctor once they were out of sight.

The Doctor didn't answer. "Come on Rory," he said. "I want a rematch on the Somesian chess."

"State your names, relationship status and purpose for the visit."

"I am Amy Pond and this is my wife, Rose Tyler. We are here to visit your wonderful society."

"Welcome Amy Pond and Rose Tyler. We hope you enjoy your stay on Goga."

A/N End of Part 1. How was it?

The Drahvins have only appeared once on screen in 'Galaxy 4' during the First Doctor's era. And even that serial is partially missing which is a shame. They are an interesting enemy. The information about their class structure is completely canon. They do operate like bees in many ways.

Once again, I apologise if I offend anyone with the content of this chapter. The next chapter will see Amy and Rose going to find the segment of the key whilst pretending to be a married couple.

In other news, I started a new story called 'Tales from the Vortex' which is going to be a collection of one-shots about AU meetings of Rose and the Doctor (in any of his incarnations). Check it out if you haven't already.

The next chapter will be up soon. See you then!
