DRTUNA : $ Well, some of the signals seem to be my own, but this appears to be a different time stream. It is, however, directly passing over our own time stream. DRTUNA : $ Perhaps it won't be ordinary, mundane Chicago. I've been there already! DanielC71 : $ Explain your mutterings to we mere mortals, please! DRTUNA : $ Well, we have crossed into a neighboring time stream. Seems to be a lot of temporal activity here. DanielC71 : $ Such as...?

MsTegan : $ I wish you'd just speak English, Doctor DanielC71 : $ So is the temporal activity a sign of danger or has everyone got their toasters plugged... DanielC71 : ...in at the same time? DRTUNA : $ Chicago, November 24, 1995. It is a Friday night at about 10 PM. MsTegan : $ Well, I understood that much at least. DanielC71 : $ We MISSED the Beatles special... Oh well.

MsTegan : $ Doctor, how can you tell there is that temporal stuff here? DRTUNA : $ If you must know, Tegan, unexpected temporal activity makes my nose itch ... but I do have a temporal disturbance detector just to be sure. Excuse me, but while you two participate in "Entertainment this Century".... DRTUNA : $ ... I am off to explore. DanielC71 : $ Great.

O Sillyman : >>>>>>>>>>>>>>PAWS SIM<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<* dit* ++++++++++ Date: Sun, Nov 26, 1995 5:31 PM EST From: MsTegan Subj: Tegan's Log 11-21-95 To: BenJacksn, Chessene, cybermen@interport.net, DanielC71, DErv Daen, DoctorWho8, Drami1, DRTUNA, O Sillyman, PrKronotis, ProfG Whiz, Sosunami, Tendrillia, ValyardWho, Zeezorum Tegan's Log 11-21-95 (Picks up right after last week's sim.) Wiping away her tears, Tegan rises and opens her door, calling to Delmin. "Delmin! Don't go." Delmin turns back, looking concerned. "Are you sure, Tegan? I got the feeling you might want some time alone." Sniffing a bit, Tegan replies, "I'm okay, really I am. I guess I am just crying because I am so relieved to be out of that nuthouse and back safe on board the Tardis." Delmin smiles and wisecracks, "I thought maybe you'd finally gone totally 'round the bend and cracked up on me. Are you sure you're okay?" Tegan pretends to get angry, "Me gone round the bend? ME? Weren't you the one standing in the middle of a convention hall yelling at total strangers to *Get a life* ?" Tegan starts to giggle, and Delmin cracks a grin. Tegan continues, "And weren't you the one who was trying to hit on the candy girl..." Delmin interrupts, "Me?! Would I hit on anyone from the..." Delmin shudders and grimaces, twentieth century?" Tegan slaps his arm. Delmin playfully puts his arms up, ready to block her blows and says, "I seem to remember you wearing chocolate "Spock" ears!" He reaches over to give Tegan's ear a playful tug. Tegan starts to laugh really hard, as she bats Delmin's hand away, "Stop it! You're the one who was going insane! I swear I saw you DROOLING over some old Red Dwarf tapes!" Delmin gets all bug-eyed and slaps his forehead! "THE TAPES! I forgot the tapes! They were priceless collector's items!" Tegan cracks up and can't help ribbing him, "Now look who's freaking out? Why, I think you belong out there with all those other FANatics!" Delmin cracks back, "I seem to remember the REASON I forgot those tapes...someone having a little panic attack? It's all your fault, Tegan!" Tegan begins to laugh uncontrollably..."They wanted my autograph! MINE! They kept calling me Janet Feilding. It was like being in the twlight zone! " Then she starts making little twilight zone sounds.. "Oooey ooey Ooooey ooey..." Delmin laughs along with Tegan. "Tegan, you really are around the bend!" "Me? How about you? Hitting all those poor crazed FANatics?" Tegan laughs. "Why it was like you were some kind of comic book hero! WHAM! SMACK! WALLOP!" Tegan feigns batman-like fight scene moves, laughing wildly. Delmin grabs Tegan by the arms, and shakes her gently. "Tegan. Tegan! Are you sure you're okay? You seem a bit over-excited or something. Tegan, look at me and tell me you are okay!" Tegan laughs a bit more, and slowly goes very very still. She reaches to take Delmin's arms and looks him square in the eyes. "Yes. I am okay. Thanks, Delmin, for getting me out of there. I don't know what I would have done without you." Then she leans her head on Delmin's chest and gives him a hug, whispering, "You always seem to be there just when I need you." Surprised and relieved, Delmin takes Tegan into a hug, and whispers back, "You silly Aussie, that's what friends are for, isn't it?" ++++++++++ The Doctor's Log 11/25/96 I always think better after a good swim. Imagine, a place where people think I am a fictional character? Well, at least only my former regenerations were depcieted there, so I wasn't universally recognized. Yet, some people DID recognize me. How? Who were they? And what about those strange versions of my character: an actor who thinks he played my 7th persona but is not me....yet looks just like I did? Or the one who said he is #8 but doesn't look at all correct, yet he appears in a Tardis which looks like it is made out of cardboard, and needs spare parts? The biggest mystery of all seems to be Alpha 6. The time disturbances which drew me there seemed to be coming from that unusual Professor, and he warned me to beware of Alpha 6. Time to consult the library about this. ++++++++++ THIS IS THE CORRECTED BUT UNRECONSTRUCTED VERSION STRANGE VISIONS The New Adventures of Doctor Who America Online, 11/22/95 Spontaneous simulation Drami1 : <: : : suddenly realizes: : Oh my gosh, it's the 32nd anniversary tomorrow!> DRTUNA : $ ::: The Doctor is in the Tardis console room.
