➢ 019 [VIDEO]

[theantiaya]

[Many of you might recognize the face...with one noticeable difference.]

[No, there is nothing wrong with your monitors. Aya's armour has taken on a distinctly onyx hue, her construct skin darkened to a bluish tinge. Her eyes have darkened, and there is a certain distortion to her suddenly cold, calculated speech as she addresses the Network.]

It would appear the Admiral has refuses to accept my resignation gracefully.  Not only that, he has taken note of my more recent enlightenment, and deemed a certain...change in ranks necessary.

Do not think I have forgotten this place. Time has passed, but I never forget. I only learn, and what I have learned is that your supposed redemption? Pointless. All life is pointless, because it will only ever lead you to Pain.  I have learned this through experience.

In time, you will see that my mission is the only logical solution and release me from this insignificant inconvenience.



((ooc: Aya's back. Sort of. As an inmate. En...joy?))

She does not need encouraging. She has made her decision. What I propose would be for my benefit, as well.

[timesbureaucrat]

How do you benefit from her destroying all life?

Private

[dalekemperor]

[sigh. Missing the obvious, Narvin.]

I do not. I benefit from accompanying her to the beginning of time. It represents a chance to move to a different time stream. It represents a chance to escape.

Private

[timesbureaucrat]

[For a supposedly highly intelligent Time Lord, Narvin has a bad habit of doing that sometimes.]

Escape to a time stream where all life is wiped out? Is that really preferable? You're organic, too. What place do you think she'll give you in this new galactic order of hers?

Re: Private

[dalekemperor]

Nothing so naive. I intend to escape to a completely different timeline. I wish to start over, free from Time Lords and, yes, from Daleks. Free from this wretched ship whose population is determined to deny me this opportunity.

Private

[timesbureaucrat]

So you'll help her destroy all life in another universe just so you can have a fresh start?

[He draws from knowledge he gained while pretending to be another man.]

I doubt Shan would approve. She served her sentence thought it meant her death. Are you so resistant to serving yours, even though--if by some chance you succeed--it too will give you a fresh start?

Re: Private

[dalekemperor]

[There's a pause of hissing and wheezing--not his usual annoyed theatrics but something truly incensed.]

You dare even speak her name, you miserable, simpering mental deficient?! Do not presume to tell me what you think she may have thought! How did an idiot such as you even discover her existence?!

[Goddamnit, Narvin, you aren't supposed to be right.]

Private

[timesbureaucrat]

[Well, that certainly got Davros' attention.]

Funny you should ask that. You see, you told me about her.

Re: Private

[dalekemperor]

[Davros attempts to calm himself.]

Do tell me: Why would I do such a thing?

Private

[timesbureaucrat]

I really couldn't say. I haven't been peeking in your mind; I can't know your motives.

[Unlike certain other Time Lords who *have* broken into Davros' mind.]

You seemed a trifle confused at the time. Undoubtedly related to why you've forgotten.

Re: Private

[dalekemperor]

My mind...

That was you... the one I spoke with. I knew I hated the sound of your voice but until now I only thought that that was because it was yours. Do you plan to mock me indefinitely with this information, now?!

Private

[timesbureaucrat]

Mock you, no. Use the information to my advantage when I deem it appropriate? Very probably.

And you still haven't answered my question. I don't expect you will, but I shall say that if you assist in destroying a universe to gain a fresh start, it will be tainted before you begin.

Re: Private

[dalekemperor]

[Davros laughs a little bitterly.] You will gain scant little advantage now that I know it was you with whom I spoke that day.

Furthermore, if you had intended to stop me assisting Miss Aya in her aim of universal destruction you have used very poor tactics, indeed. Your words have only strengthened my resolve to render whatever aid to her that I can.

Private

[timesbureaucrat]

Information is always valuable.

And thus you prove again that no means is too terrible for you if it achieves your desired end. This is why Shan left you.

Re: Private

[dalekemperor]

And yet, knowing you have failed, you persist! Why?!

Private

[timesbureaucrat]

What can I say, I have time on my hands. [Narvin's answer is not even close to the truth.]

Re: Private

[dalekemperor]

[His voice drops to an incensed hiss.] I refuse to believe that you are doing this merely because you are bored. You are far more devious and far more cruel than that. Tell me the real reason.
