Saga 2, Episode 1, Part 2: Omni TARDIS.

"What is this?" Gene couldn't help but marvel. As Snickersnack led them through a door, that most certainly WASN'T the hallway it was earlier. Both Piccolo and Grunt looked unphased by the change of location. Used to the idea of "Pocket dimensions".

Gene had found his way back to Hilda... mostly by accident. However, Hilda insisted he make himself useful, and join the team in an attack against a pirate vessel.

Snickersnack shrugged. "It's an Omni Class TARDIS."

He heard Legends about those teleportation Vessels. Supposedly they could even travel through time. While normally he'd be skeptical about that... this was already impossible, so he could extend his disbelief a tad further.

Turning around, Gene was shocked to see a swirling vortex of energy... in a door frame... not leading back to the Bar they were in, mere moments ago.

Reaching his hand towards it, Hilda snagged his wrist. "Good way to lose your hand." She smirked. "That's a one way portal." Gene gulped and stepped away from the portal, and Hilda quickly closed the small double doors.

There were 6 doors, of various designs and colors, on 7 walls. With a tower like staircase, in the center of each wall.

Gene swallowed again, "What's the difference between an Omni Class, and a regular TARDIS?"

"Misfit?" Snickersnack casually muttered to the console. As he continued to push buttons. "Mind giving the space cherry a crash course in how you work?"

A hologram suddenly appeared... of a beautiful older woman, with brown wavy hair. "Yes I mind, but I'll do it anyway."

Snickersnack smiled fondly, "I appreciate it all the more." As he worked at a console with Hilda, looking for the perfect place to board the pirate ship.

The Hologram rolled her eyes, and Gene realized this must be the Ship's computer... sassy little thing. "The gist is," she went too explaining. "I don't have a singular Anchor. Instead, my crew each have a key, that works on any door, that opens to a Gateway dimension. Which is in-between the infinite universe of the Omni-TARDIS, and anywhere in the 42 Cosmoses.

"You ever see 'Monsters Inc'?" A ship making movie references? "With that conveyor belt of infinite doors. An Omni TARDIS has one of those. Only their is one for every door, in every universe, in every Cosmos.

"You can't even Time Travel with it. You can only go to the present day, where choices are made. Not any of the infinite futures or the cemented past.

"The Gateway Dimension we are currently in, is about the size of a Skyscraper. With multiple floors, from engineering, to science labs, with each crewmen getting their own floor, as their personal quarters. Everything is self contained. So if the gateway is destroyed, the rest of the TARDIS is fine.

"Who's on your crew?" Gene asked.

The Elite suddenly stopped. "My crew is dead." he reminded.

Gene flinched, "You didn't have Time Lord's on your crew?"

"In my culture," Snickersnack was very clearly trying not to be offended. "A Time Lord is a seat of nobility. One that has too be earned. We are a combination of lords, generals, warriors, philosophers, and high priest. Gallifreyians are the species... and no, no Gallifreyian serves on our crews. Not since the last Time War... there aren't really enough of us to pair off.

"Only the Time Omnians remain... and we each have our own Console/Gateway Deck thingamajig."

Snickersnack went onto explain. Once he started he couldn't stop. Ignoring his work, in favor of explaining things. "We recruit our own team of mortals, and let them decide how we protect the Omni-verse. We serve at their pleasure, although the final call is ours... we are old, and can't really relate to mortals... so we travel with average people, to act as our conscience.

"We Susans like to take it a step further, and frequently reincarnate ourselves. While it helps keep the mortal perspective. We are not mortal. We need average people, to ground us, and remind us what is important.

"I actually grew up with Frieza, in my last life. and Helped ensure he'd grow up to be a benevolent king. Instead of the tyrant he was destined to be.

Frost Demons live 10,000 cycles, and our Gallifreyian mind only wakes up when we are the equivalent age of our regeneration. So i was over 175 thousand years old, when my Time Lord memories woke up.

"My first face, of this Bi-Generation anyway, was the human equivalent of 42. So that's when My Time Lord genes kick in, and I stop aging. It can be a bit of a problem actually, as some of my fellow, Susan Bi-Generations, are literal kids. And-"

"S'mouth!" Hilda snapped, and the middle-aged-boy flinched. "You're rambling, let your ship answer the space cherry's questions."

"I think I got more info then I can handle." Gene swayed, temporarily forgetting to get mad over being called a cherry.
