My Father is Who?!?

(Chp7) Stellan and The Tree

Finns POV:

“No way, you’re, you’re a living conscious of a TARDIS…….like actually in the flesh, and you… you know me?”

“Well of course I know you, Finny Boy, you are my special little chosen one, or you choose me, or was it I choose you to choose me….. hmmm anyway here we are, a boy and his ship….like father like son….. Are you ready to build your ship?”

“I would be honored to have your help in building my ship, I do have an instruction manual from Gallifrey in how to build one, but if you’d like to take control, then be my guest.”

“I think we’ll do a little bit of both, we’ll follow the manual and I’ll add my own décor as we go, make it a bit more personal.” He spoke that with a tone of understanding and I just felt so at peace with him.

“Oh and I’m so sorry I completely forgot my manners, I never even got your name, it’d be great to know the name of new friend and pilot.”

“Strange that you would ask such a question, I have to think for a second….. Stellan, yes I quite like that name my name is now Stellan, and that is how you can respond to be in the verbal tongue.”

“That is a beautiful name for a beautiful conscious” No way I just said that…. I flushed a shade of scarlet before asking “So what should we do first?”

“Well I say we need to find some exterior paneling to build around this tree here, to protect it from withering any further and to make sure it remains intact for your ship as this tree will be necessary!” And with that he disintegrated into the aura and flew off in a way that made it seem he was searching for something. He came back to me in a matter of seconds. “I’ve located the needed walls and I require you to carry them for me.” And with that he carried me off to the location and showed me the walls he wanted. It took me an hour or a few, but I finally got the walls to and around the tree and under the direction of Stellan, got them connected and protecting the tree. After getting them all set up he thanked me and whisked off to get me some stuff that he could carry. Ten minutes later I had around 400 objects surrounding me that he needed my help to build, as it was console time.

We spent the next 2 hours building the console the way the manual said it was and the way Stellan wanted it to be, we forgot not a single part, lucky for us this rock had it all.

After the console was built with the tree in its place in the Gallifrean soil that one of the lonely ships had luckily contained and with the walls built it came time for Stellan to inhabit the console.

“Wait before you go, is there any way you’ll be able to stay in this shape in the interior or will you always be consumed in the vortex?” I really wanted to know as I was kind of worried I might never see him again.

“Unfortunately I will spend most of my time in the mainframe and you can only see this form when you are in dire situations unless…….. let me think this through for a moment……..” And with that he whisked away only to return a minute later with a bluish rod that contained a yellow liquid inside of it. “If you install this into the console it will allow me to walk freely throughout the TARDIS and an area of 100 feet outside of where she lands.”

“That’d be perfect! Stellan, I’ve only known you for a few hours but you are a genius!” I then took the rod and installed it into the console and with that he whisked himself into the aura and entered the ship. In his eerie voice he told me to stand back, and as I did he took control of the TARDIS spun it at a speed that made it seem almost invisible and then landed it back down. Except when it landed it no longer looked like the scarps we had put together and instead appeared as a fully functional TARDIS similar to the one my father used except this time with a working chameleon circuit. The doors suddenly flew open and out stepped Stellan in his human form. “Before we depart is there any way I can set a certain look to the chameleon circuit, like how my father’s will only appear like a 1960’s Police call box.

“Haha, how did I know you would ask that, yes it is very possible, what would you like it to appear as?”

“Well that is a no brainer, a modern 21st century red telephone box!” Stellan then walked into the ship pulled some levers and such and then, walked out and the TARDIS turned red! “Oh that is soo awesome! Where should we go first?”

“Well, for you Finny Boy, I have the perfect place in mind!”
