11. Chloe and Alyssa.

Chloe opens the Master's Tardis door on Gallifrey. As she opens the Tardis door, a bullet ricochets off the Tardis.
Gallifreyan police surround the Tardis.
Chloe's shocked. What has she done wrong?
Then she recalls her mother having difficulty on Gallifrey - they're extremely jumpy!
"Hold fire, it's a lady!" one of the snipers calls out.
"The Master can still be a lady!" another officer shouts back.
"There are two of them! They can't both be the Master!" a third officer shouts.

"What seems to be the problem, gentlemen?" Chloe asks as calmly as she can.

Chloe and Alyssa are taken to a holding room, then interviewed as to their intentions.
Chloe's desperate to know whether Alyssa was successful in her adjustments. What had happened? How had that worked?
The Tardis they came in is taken to the Tardis storeroom and decommissioned.
Chloe's Tardis summoner is cleaned up and eventually returned to them.

Chloe turns to Alyssa and grins. "Shall we surprise them by using my transport?"
"Why? It wasn't working earlier." Alyssa has no idea how they came to be on Gallifrey – the Master's Tardis hadn't shown any sign of travelling anywhere.
"I think it's had time to dry out now!"
Chloe holds Alyssa's hand, thinks of her lounge at home, and activates her transport...
The holding room changes into their lounge.

"I've been expecting you," Devyon says, humorously, passing them each a cup of tea. "Not quite as hot as it was, but passable!"
Chloe looks around. "Where's the Doctor?" she asks.
"He messaged his apologies and said he was fixing up some accommodation for the Master on Gallifrey, but he was having some difficulty," Devyon says, before shuffling off to his armchair. .
"Dad, you're looking much older now," Alyssa says. "What happened?"
"Oh, it's nothing," Devyon says, wishing he could cover up his ageing. "These outings take it out of me more than they used to."
"You're still doing well," Alyssa says encouragingly.
"Let's just enjoy our cup of tea and catch up," Chloe says. She knows that time is a dastardly thief, and ageing is its agent!
