Do Time Lords Dream of Gallifreyan Sheep? *Unfinished*

Prologue: No Escape Pod

    The Doctor in his 7th incarnation and Archaeologist Professor Bernice Summerfield were in the TARDIS console room which was now a slightly beige colour, it had fewer roundels that adorned the walls of a very spacious hexagonal room in which the walls slanted outwards from the ceiling to an apex level with the control panels of the console unit and slanted back inwards towards the floor, there was a hatstand next to the recessed doorway as well, this room also had a massive scanner screen affixed to one wall currently closed behind a large shutter, the console unit itself had several touchscreen panels and very few buttons with a central glass column time rotor that jutted out from the centre of the console that contained crystalline structures that glowed a soft green. The two of them heard the strange wheezing and groaning sound like that of the TARDIS and a tall slender man dressed in black and white robes with very short grey-brown hair appeared in the console room.
    “Do I know you?” The Doctor asked the man who just materialised via a Time Ring.
    “I am Coordinator Vansell,” The man said. “I am here because the High Council and the Celestial Intervention Agency have a need for you in a particular mission.” He spoke calmly and flatly.
    “And what might that be?” Bernice asked.
    “This doesn't concern you Earth woman,” He said bluntly. “Now we need your help to prevent a war with the Cybermen and Gallifrey,” He pulled a slim bronze and gold device from a pocket in his robes and the device quietly came to life showing a dark blue holographic image of a Cybership, the ship was very large adorned with symbols that mimicked the heads of the Cybermen. “This is the tenth Cyber Legion passing over the uninhabited planet of Atroth, it is a reconnaissance ship, and has gained valuable information to the Time Lords about this side of the cosmos as well their plans for war.” He explained. “We need you, Doctor, to infiltrate this Cybership and confiscate the main storage device that contains all the information in their data banks.”
    The Doctor looked unamused, more so infuriated at the fellow Time Lord. “Why did I expect anything different from you?” He spoke with a tone of repugnance, “You CIA types are all the same, wanting someone else to do the dirty work for you, always bound by the laws of time not to intervene but will gladly have someone else do it for you when the opportunity is presented to you. I’m not some kind of errand boy for the Time Lords.” He looked at Vansell with contempt, “Fine I'll do it, but only because I know that ship will have a component that I need to build a new sonic screwdriver.”
    “Excellent, I have taken the liberty of preprogramming your destination, your TARDIS will take you to the proper coordinates, and remember Doctor if you fail we can always exile you again. To somewhere less hospitable than Earth.” Vansell spoke sternly. The Doctor looked at him angrily as he pressed the seal on the ring he wore on his finger, and dematerialised with the same wheezing and groaning sound as before.
    “Benny, please make sure Ace is awake.” He said calmly, “Oh!” He took out a small notebook and wrote the directions to her room on the paper, he tore it out of the notebook and handed it to her, “And could you prepare her an outfit to wear?” He asked politely. She nodded and walked through the corridors to the wardrobe.

    In the wardrobe, Benny was searching for an outfit for Ace, the wardrobe was vast, nearly as large as the TARDIS library which itself was as large as a mansion. She felt like she could be spending hours in there trying to find the right outfit for Ace until she stumbled upon a large bag in the middle of one of the many rows of clothes.  She opened the bag and saw the contents, she thought this would be perfect for Ace. So she closed the bag and carried it through the corridors to Ace’s room.

    Ex-Spacefleet Mercenary Ace McShane woke up her room which had an early Victorian-era look to it, her large queen-size canopy bed was very comfortable, she sat up rubbed her tired eyes, and got out of her bed put her dressing gown on only to see a large opaque grey bag sitting on the chair in her room with a small note on top of it. She walked over to the bag and picked up the note. It was written in a slightly messy cursive and it read “The Time Lords have asked the Doctor and us to go on a mission to raid a Cybership for information on the war they're planning to wage with the Time Lords. The Doctor asked me to prepare an outfit for you and I found this bag in the wardrobe and thought you might like it. Have fun! ;) -signed Benny Summerfield”
    Ace opened the bag hoping to find a decent change of clothes but was horrified to find one of her embarrassing outfits from when she was a teenager. A band tee of David Bowie, black high tops, a black pleated skirt, and leggings. ‘Who raids a Cybership wearing leggings?!’ She thought to herself. However, her eyes lit up once she reached the bottom of the bag, there sat her old leather bomber jacket, complete with all the patches and badges she decorated it with. “Wicked!” She said in excitement, it was as if she had been reunited with an old friend, then she had a thought, “I wonder if it's still in here…” She whispered to herself as she dug through the pockets of the jacket, and she pulled out a jet black bandana with the word ‘Ace’ stitched on a part of it, she remembered when she got it, it was a gift from Shreela for her 16th birthday, it was then only a little under a month later that she was swept away to Iceworld from her bedroom and met the Doctor. She reminisced about all the good times she and Shreela had together. She put the bandana back into the jacket pocket. She then dug around in her closet and unearthed her old rucksack and the baseball bat she had picked up in America after her original one got destroyed by the Doctor who destroyed a Dalek transmat under Coal Hill School in 1963 with it.
    She put on her old clothes and was surprised to find that they still fit her, she packed some Neo Nitro in her old rucksack and stashed a gun inside just in case. She then left her bedroom and went through the corridors to the console room.
