[Narvin is outside, on top of the ship near where it's partially buried. He had been looking for external hatches and then the drugged fog rolled in. Now his sense of when he is keeps changing, different bits of history and memory blurring in his head.]

Madam President... Romana where are you? This isn't... Leela? Where have you gone off to? You know I can't manage this wilderness on my own. I...

[He trails off in confusion, drops the communicator and flings himself onto the ship, hands and face pressed against the metal.]

The ship is dead. Mental transference failed. Time capsule consciousness...

[And then he starts babbling in Gallifreyan. Those who know the language or have universal translators would hear him muttering:]

/pandora sings when all is lost
pandora takes all those she's crossed
pandora wins and all is cost/

[This is someone else's punctuation system, someone else's grammar, and english words. He's trying really hard here. They weren't coming out in English when he tried to speak them. He has no idea what to focus on.]

[timesbureaucrat]

[A few minutes later, once Narvin's stopped trying to psychically join with the alien ship, he peers at the text on his screen trying to make sense of it. His reply is video, but at least in English again.]

Agent...Commander K, Sunari forces are invading. Take your squad to sector 440-G-Epsilon-86 to... [Wait, that's not right. He blinks a few times.] ...Why is there fog in the Capitol? Are the atmospheric systems technicians sleeping on duty?

[That was a question. But he's forgotten question marks in English. So this other form of punctuation sticks.

[timesbureaucrat]

[Narvin doesn't understand that it's supposed to be a question. But the word triggers a new set of memories.]

Commander Torvald was a traitor. He betrayed me. He betrayed the President. He betrayed Gallifrey.

[timesbureaucrat]

[He hasn't studied Earth languages as thoroughly as someone like the Doctor. He has some very cursory knowledge of Japanese, but not enough to know what Kay is asking. He shakes his head.]

I don't understand.

[But the language reminds him of when he was undercover on Earth and encountered a small smattering of katakana. He issues a brief report in Gallifreyan about a temporal crook disguised as an Italian fascist.]

[What is Gal-if-ray?]

[timesbureaucrat]

They that walk in shadows.

The shining world of the seven systems.

[knightoflight]

....Narvin?

Are you lost?

[video]

[timesbureaucrat]

K9, thank goodness you're...

[K9 is the only robot he knows on Gallifrey, so his fog-brain makes that conceptual leap. But even fogged up it doesn't take him long to see that Wing looks nothing like a one foot tall robot dog.]

...K9 you've...changed.

This doesn't make sense.

[video]

[knightoflight]

K....9?

Narvin. Where are you? Do you know where we are? Do you need help?

[All right. That last question was not really necessary. Of course he did.]

[video]

[timesbureaucrat]

I'm... [There's wind, and fog.] I must be in the Outlands. I don't remember how I got here.

[video]

[knightoflight]

Outlands? [He shakes his head, worried. ]

We'll worry about how, later. Do you have something you could use as a signal, like a flare? I could come find you.

[video]

[timesbureaucrat]

Outside the Citadel. To the west. I can see the dome.

[He pats himself down. He can't remember what he has on him or what he's supposed to have on him right now.]

A flare...no. I had a percussion grenade. [No, he didn't.] I've lost it. [He starts to frantically look around for it.]

[video]

[knightoflight]

The Dome. All right.

[He's moving toward the exit, ready to launch into the sky.] Narvin. Do not go to the Dome. It may be dangerous.

[He sees the flurry of activity, fretfully.] Please. It's all right. Listen for the sound of my engines. We can solve things later.

[video]

[timesbureaucrat]

It can't possibly be more dangerous than out here.

I'm supposed to be at the artron forum. [Narvin is starting to wander.]

[video]

[knightoflight]

Dangerous?

Narvin. What danger. Are you safe, right now?

[Wing sounds more than a little alarmed.]

Artron forum. Is that in the Old City? [The doings of the city were beyond him--or rather he was too large for it. It was an entire mystery.] Is there a meeting you need to attend?

[video]

[timesbureaucrat]

Well, there's no one currently shooting at me, but it's the Outlands. [To him, being outside in nature automatically implies danger.]

The artron forum is...no, it's above ground. I'm supposed to... [He trails off in confusion. The memory slips away.]

[video]

[knightoflight]

I'm on my way.

[Somewhere. It's a stupid, rash thing to do to fly off into the cloudy weather without any real idea of where he's going, but standing and talking and doing nothing was driving him crazy.]

Supposed to...what?
