Time ah there is something eh? On your lips, on your ‘mind’ to live to become an Immortai?
Yes that is what they are called the ones who posses the powers to regenesis.
Romana. A FEMALE also an ‘Arcan’ and capable of ‘regenesis’.
One who as a child had strayed beyond the ‘gateway’ with its two massive obelisks?
Normally not possible but for some reason the failure on the power to stop her from venturing beyond them had failed? Sitting down, wondering where she was.
The gateway closed, preventing her from reentering. Panic setting in as she wondered HOW to get back there.
When the stranger arrived? Looking at the Ketlevling, lost, upset and?
She took her. Another race intrigued her. Well she could not leave her on those steps. It was getting colder.
The Ketlevling would freeze to death? So YES, she would take her back, to her planet, Galifrey.
The Ketlevling was NOT from Galifrey. Tectuan needed to do some tests, try and establish what made this strange one so similar and yet NOT?
Two hearts? Nothing re body fluids, chemical makeup and, that included of course, anatomy and physiology, added up to anything, known to her people.
As a space traveller Tectuan had encountered other races BUT none who looked so similar to her own people.
Time, ah yes, TIME; would pass and the Ketlevling started to grow, albeit VERY slowly. In comparison to others around her, playmates and similar, MUCH slower. Playing with others, was a norm. Nothing untoward happened or was of any concern UNTIL.
In a game, she had missed her footing, to slip, slide and FALL. The drop, was substantial.
The one with her, screamed for help and Tectuan, would come running, to see?
Some feet below, on hard sand, impacted ground, the lifeless body of the one she had named Romana.
Watching on was a male. Unknown to Tectuan. From the same world as Romana. An Arcan.
Sent by his own, through time, to find her.
Now seeing Tectuan, who he would soon discover, was the one, who had abducted her?
Stood with tears in her eyes, leaning over the body?
The ‘stranger’ wanted to rush over, somehow, stop anyone from seeing what was about to take place. BUT,
too late. The ‘regenesis’ had started and Tectuan had stepped back to now bear witness, to the full on transformation, taking place. Astonished, speechless. Now holding her, well the all NEW; her.
If the stranger ,had moved away from them, with the intention, to follow at a distance and, somehow take back
‘Romana’?
Tectuan, was securing the laboratory area. NO ONE, could get in,
NO access, other than her. To do the tests, test after test AND each time she forced regenesis the testing was producing NO answers.
Then it happened. The final KEY, to unlock the chemical code!
Now she only had to try it on herself.
The stranger nicknamed the ‘Doctor’, had managed to get in and, was now taking the all NEW Romana out of the laboratory.
NOT that Tectuan was the least bit concerned. She had what she was looking for. Quantum theory, was encouraged, re making new discoveries, new technologies.
The use of, new ‘materials’, chemicals, periodic table as we would know it; far more advanced than ours.
The establishment of the Timelords on Gallifrey who had ventured
to steal technology from that race.
The Portei Semperu, a fixed means, of travelling from one moment in time, to another across the ‘verse’; had been modified by them.
A portable version or ‘cabinet’, as it was known? With a control console, to allow them, to choose when and where, but mostly WHEN in TIME. They could interfere, control other primitive races, alter time itself, until they, started to realize that i some situations it had affected them? Changed events.
The discovery of other races, who were and, could pose, a serious threat, to Galifrey had see a new defence dome built by them. Covering all of the occupied ELITES.
The ‘timelords’ and their families. When, it was time, to inject for the regenesis to take or have effect?
That got more and more selective. Soon only ELITES, could enjoy that privlledge. Any, who objected, were thrown out into the wastelands. Beyond the dome and, with some terrible mutations, to be found, from some of their former experiments?
Thus rules, were implemented giving them greater controls over those would be ‘Time Travellers’. You could go back, or forwards in TIME, BUT NOT do anything, to actually alter, what was taking place.
Holidays eh? Travel back and witness an event taking place, be amongst the crowd and no one, would know YOU were from the future? The photographs, that showed strange figures, carrying mobile devices NOT of their era?
sometimes, those carrying them, doing so deliberately, finding amusement, from knowing, that maybe in the future, those primitives, might be puzzled, by the sight of such objects OR even CLOTHNG?
Romana had gone back to her people using one of the original ‘Porteiu Semperu’. Much to the relief of the ‘Doctor’ who too had left using a stolen ‘Cabinet’. He had done some work on producing them in the first place so was more than used to the controls. .
