The Ultimate Judge

something terrible has come to pass and the end is cometh.

101ita-form

Anything we can do? I'm open to suggestions...

a great part of reality has fallen unto the darkness

a wilderness not seen for many a year may once more return

you are a child of the wilderness your passage will remain unchanged

something terrible has come to pass and the end is cometh.

@101ita-form. I hope you're well enough not to lay around in bed all day. There's something I need to go do.

101ita-form

Yeah... alright.

*Lets her out, then goes off to a barren distant planet after making a single stop first.*

Let's see if this will get someone's attention...

*She pulls out an unconscious figure who looks like a younger version of herself and lays her on the ground, drawing a ritual circle in blood around the two of them. With that done, she sacrifices herself again, literally.*

@fate-herself

*picks up @quel-of-the-chancellery-guard and transports her across space and time into the circle.*

What? No! What’s the meaning of this?

i am busy you talk to @elizacousins

@fate-herself

*picks up @quel-of-the-chancellery-guard and transports her across space and time into the circle.*

*Down in the mines they check their coat pockets and find the maps commander maxil said he would have were in their pockets. Now to find the dalek command post and time strategist*

*Still in the mines searching for @dalek-time-stratagist *

*the mines are crawling with all manner of Daleks form standard drone to Daleks that are hard to even look at due to how much they’ve been altered on multiple dimensions.*

*they take the stealth approach, avoiding the daleks as much as they can so they arent alerted to their presence*

*continues through the mine, slowly approaching the time strategists location*

*Finally reaches @dalek-time-stratagist s location*

Ah. Doctor.

I meet this face for the first time.

Welcome to Project: Masterplan Revisited.

Ah the Masterplan. That brings back memories. Anyway If you would please surrender and allow me to capture you that would save us both a lot of trouble.

*seals the chamber from external communication. As Several Dalek Generals and Supremes emerge from the shadows weapons aimed at the Doctor.*

And why should I do that Doctor.

The final victory of the Daleks is about to take place.

The Dalek History will now occur.

Ooooh nooo. Daleks with their stupid guns aimed at me. Whatever shall I doooo?

*they smile*

We-elll. I have orders to destroy you if I cannot capture you. *they use their sonic to disable all the daleks weapons*

*the Time Strategist of the near now sends back information on how you disabled the weapons to their own relative past and recalibrates their retinue’s weapons so it has no effect meaning they are never deactivated the Paradox energy is then funnelled in a strange vaguely familiar device.*

Your sonic is of not effect here Doctor. Its energy signals have been calculated and neutralised.

I am the Time Strategist I see all possible outcomes and have manipulated events so that they prove fortuitous to Dalek plans. Gallifrey will never have existed, your life as you know it hangs in the balance.

Wait is that why you sent me off to discover the truth of the Universe?

Um. Who are you?

Eosphoros, Type 111 Timeship!

Nice to meet you. Names The Doctor.

Ooooh your timeline looks really paradox-y. Is that... after the War?

Yeah.

You need any help? I journeyed far beyond the Universe to see many things...

Well It would be nice. The plan I had isn't going to work now.

Hey

@dalek-time-stratagist

You're a hack fraud!

Hardly you are to late.

*time locks the room so TARDIS’s cannot time travel with in it.*

At this moment Ollistra is deploying her ultimate weapon. A weapon has been predicted and will along with this device, the stored Paradox Energy and the Taranium rich environment will create a major Temporal shift turning this whole Moon into a Time Destructor. A Time Destructor which will destroy Gallifrey and the entire galaxy. At this very moment Skaro is primed to shift into the void left by Gallifrey and take control of the Caldera. With that History will bend to the Daleks. We are the Time Lords now.

Yes... yes I know all that. Secrets of the Universe remember...

But you've overlooked one thing... do you know what I am?

The Scion of Lolita. The Would’ve been Queen of History.

But I will become history.

Ah... but I'm not just one of her children... I am one of Eliza's too... a ship of Paradox.

I've seen the history you will create... terribly dull... so I may have just borrowed one of Maia's antitemporal capsules... and jammed paradox biodata into Ollistra's weapon. Paradox biodata that will render this region of space entirely lethal in the event the bomb goes off... Skaro will be shredded by paradox as it tries to seize the Caldera.

And don't try to account for it... you'll regret it.

Paradox Engery is full for this weapon, you will simply increase the damage of the weapon you will destroy half the universe. Skaro does not need to enter the void immediately we are patient. In a trillion years the Paradox Energy will have self nullified. And resolved themselves. The Daleks will become the Lords of Time.

*it has a brief discussion in Old Skaronese with a General*

We must wait until the Weapon is primed. This plan will succeed. All predictions show total Dalek victory, with only one minor exception. But that possibility is becoming increasingly unlikely

Ah... but Time Strategist... you don't have a trillion years. I will take the Caldera the moment the weapon goes off, I am a paradox ship, the zone will not affect me.

Your predictions are faulty, I have seen every future that can come to pass. You're the one who told me to seek them out.

Only direct intervention by one of the Menti Celest will lead to the failure of my plan. You cannot leave this room you cannot shift. But either way Gallifrey would be irreparably destroyed and your mind shattered even if you survived detonation of the Time Destructor.

Are you sure about that... have you double checked?

I exist in all Timelines. I see all I know all. I am the Time Strategist. Paradox is mine to command.

You may have borrowed the paradox but I was born in it... so if its yours to command then why don't you command me?

I have trapped you in this room have I not.

The Time Vortex flows through me. I am part of it.

I don't know, have you? Or am I just another paradox splinter like that one you brainwashed?

When the Eleven Day Empire was shattered by Anastasia I bound myself to the Unkindnesses. I see all provability.

How would you know that you see all? What if you don't and only think you do?

*the Daleks have all returned to their DARDIS which has taken on humanoid form and is preparing to leave as the countdown for detonation move closer and closer*

Hey what happens if I like... keep you here?

*the DARDIS looks at you and tilts it head.*

*it starts to fade in and out with all its war pains trained on you*

@quel-of-the-chancellery-guard here is your doom

@quel-of-the-chancellery-guard your fate is great

*a strange vision appears before you of a woman with no face.*

@quel-of-the-chancellery-guard my sister approaches you quel must do battle with her herald for my bother takes the aspect of the nameless one

death shall walk the sands of gallifrey once more and their hunger shall know no bounds

What… who are you? *deep down she knows the answer*

Why are you showing me this?

official-imperatrix

*Slaps Time*

You can fit a whole eleven days into this empire.

you shallt not not slap my sister

@liviacaralis

beware the machines of yet to come

for seven seals shall be broken and the end shall be here at last

your doom may be made but that of the rest of the universe lies beyond my domain

know this you shall die before the deputy coordinator

so speaks fate

so is your doom

liviacaralis

Yes, I'm aware of that, the Dalek Emperor's flagship ... t-the null zone technology, the detonation, lying there by Narvin's side, poisoned by one of those creatures' radiation and unable to regenerate. He escapes, I ... do not. I've seen it once already, and everything leading up it, I consider that best avoided.

your doom is written

so mote it be

liviacaralis

Great, great ... and I suppose I can't bargain with Fate herself?

though you may bargain with my sisters you may not brag in with me for my word is the word of that which is that which has been and that which is yet to come

my domain is absolute until the fall of gallifrey

on that day I to shall meet my end and fate shall be unwritten

@liviacaralis

beware the machines of yet to come

coordinatorofthecia

Are there any more catastrophes that have happened and I have missed?

Other than the Low Town disappearances? Eliza and Justine plan to marry, Daybreak killed an alleged vampire, and the Lord President holds the CIA in such contempt as ever.

yanistriterquyzhonosorkyquiana

In my day, such disruption would be easily resolved. But then again, there was no such thing as the elusive creature known as bureaucracy. I possessed ultimate power over Gallifrey and its citizens and used it wisely. (If we exclude my last decree which I accept may have been a slight overreaction)

Your last decree being...?

You are the Pythia right, the great tyrannical matriarch of Gallifrey before the oh so brave and noble Rassilon swept you away? By the Great Skyclaw I hate that guy

yanistriterquyzhonosorkyquiana

You would not be the first to detest Rassilon. (I would, he stole my comb) My last decree was that upon my death, so too would Gallifrey wither. Its mothers' wombs would bear no children (though I hear you are an exception to that) and the planet would live a slow ageless death, only to come to nothing in its own dust. It would founder upon the shores of that false concept known as reason. Certain aspects of this prophecy have been fulfilled while others have not been. And they may never need to be.

Yes I was rather curious why I was an exception, why Daybreak hatched.

Why us and no one else for ten million years?

The whims of the Menti Celestis are impossible to know. But if I were to speculate, it would be due to your unusual form. The gods may have chosen to grant you a child to ameliorate the knowledge you are no longer cast in their image and thus incapable of dwelling with us in their halls once your life ends.

your prophecy has come to pass

gallifrey is stagnant and filled with naughtier but animated dust its death has come and passed and no one noticed nor cared

@i-am-gallifrey

you have returned as has been foretold in the days of yore

Many things have been foretold. All have come true. So proclaims the Pythian Book Of Future Legends. If I may request one foretelling of you, Menti Celesti, I would ask for the knowledge of how long it will be until Gallifrey abandons the ways of science and returns to your embrace?
