"My dear Captain, you are one of the smartest individuals I have met," the Master said, walking up to him to congratulate him.
Mike just stares for a long moment before crossing his arms. “That is a lie, and you know it. The number of concussions I’ve had because of you certainly didn’t help either.”

He just stared at the bomb for a long moment trying to decide what he should do. Try to run away from the bomb, or try to disable it by ripping all of the wires out. But before making his choice, he couldn’t help but to make a single remark. “What the fuck.”
"You're quite welcome for that near-death experience, my dear Captain, and whatever else on that list you are directly attributing to me. You cannot say that your life has been uneventful with me around." This is accompanied by the suavest of grins.
Mike scratched the back of his head, visibly embarrassed. “Oh, I’m sorry. I wasn’t really thinking of you when making this list. I will say now that I am thinking about you, maybe I should add a few that I didn’t mark previously. With you in the picture, I have definitely been stalked.”
The card attached reads,
“To my dear Captain, may you find what you are searching for next Earth year. – Genuinely Sincerely, The Master”
Mike looked over the card with a sense of curiosity before smiling. It was a nice sentiment. Maybe he’d find a place for it on the mantelpiece.

Mike only ever had one true home when it came down to it. Even now when he was surrounded by childhood friends, and a family that he loved, he still did not feel at home.
He had been visiting his family when he felt something that he hadn’t felt for a very long time. He had been talking to his brother, Simon, when something unusual happened. His speaking gradually slowed down until his voice and actions could only move at a crawl. When Mike looked around, confused, he quickly found that everything else had slowed down too. The match on the tele. His mother avidly scrubbing a dirty pan. Even his other two brothers tossing a ball around in the yard. They all slowed to a near standstill. Everything, except for him. But just as Mike was worried that time itself would slow to a halt, everything around him suddenly sped up, almost as if time was trying to catch up, fast forwarding to where it was supposed to be.
When time had caught up, and slowed to its normal, regular pace, Mike was left staring into his brother’s eyes with a concerned and confused expression. When Mike asked his brother if he had just seen anything unusual happen, he said no before joking that his work at previous work at UNIT must have been making him see ghosts. Mike laughed, but he knew that this would be something that he had to investigate, even if he had to do it alone.
It wasn’t much of a place to start, but it was the only lead he had. There had been rumors about mysterious lights seen in the old, abandoned mine just outside of town. When the rest of the family went to bed, Mike sneaked out to investigate.
As far as Mike could tell, there was nothing unusual about the mine, but he had only just arrived. He certainly didn’t see any green lights in the sky as the rumors alleged. Mike had scarcely hopped the fence when he heard an unusual but familiar sound. It was then that Mike knew that he had been correct in his assumption that something unusual was going on. It was the same sound as the TARDIS.
"...Captain Yates? Do I have the right person? Or would you prefer Mr. Yates now? I hope you don't mind my interrupting your life; it's just I've a teensy predicament, and I needed to speak to someone who wouldn't... judge me. It's an odd situation. I'm Missy, by the way."
“Yes? You’re at the correct place, Ma’am. But it’s Mr. Yates, now. Or Mike if you’d prefer. I’ve been retired from the Army for some time, and it would not be the most appropriate for you to call me by my former rank, I’m afraid.” He shot the woman a friendly, but sheepish smile as he leaned against the door frame.
“So what can I help you with, Ma’am? Been seeing gremlins pulling up your flowers recently? It’s been the talk of the town lately.” Mike outwardly scoffed at the idea, but he was also cautiously eyeing the woman to see how she would react. This stranger seemed to be aware of the fact that he was formerly a member of UNIT, and while that didn’t always mean much, he knew that it never hurt to try to gather what intelligence he could.
"Applications are open for companions if you would like to be one."
“You want me to be your assistant?” he asked, raising a brow. Needless to say the former Captain was skeptical of the Master’s intentions. “Would you mind telling me exactly why would I want to accompany you?” Knowing the Master, Mike knew that he would find himself hypnotized or dead within the week.

3. DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU WERE CALLED THAT? “No one calls me by that. I prefer Mike. But if you must know, my parents passed a number of my relative’s names to me. However considering the etymology, it seems that my parents wanted me to be someone who could protect others.“
4. ARE YOU SINGLE OR TAKEN? “Single.”
5. HAVE ANY ABILITIES OR POWERS? “Powers? I’m only human! Do you expect me to be Superman? As for abilities, I do have leadership training, have been trained in hand to hand combat, can use most, if not all military grade firearms and can operate most military vehicles and other munitions. I can also pilot a helicopter, if the situation calls for it.“
6. STOP BEING A MARY SUE/GARY STU. “I’m sorry, but who is Gary Stu?”
7. WHAT’S YOUR EYE COLOR? “Brown.”
8. HOW ABOUT YOUR HAIR COLOR? “I’ve been told that it sometimes looks ashy brown. Though it’s gotten darker since I started to let it grow out more.”
9. HAVE YOU ANY FAMILY MEMBERS? “I still have my mother, three brothers, and a sister in my direct family. I would rather not go into my extended family.”
10. OH? WHAT ABOUT PETS? “Not currently. Though I wouldn’t mind having a dog sometime in the future.”
11. THAT’S COOL I GUESS, NOW TELL ME ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DON’T LIKE. “Spiders.”

14. EVER… KILLED ANYONE BEFORE? “Yes. I was in the army, you know.”
15. WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL ARE YOU? “I don’t know whether you are meaning literally or spiritually. In either case, I’m a human, and as for a spirit animal, I will admit that I have never meditated on it before. Maybe I should ask the Abbot to guide me on this matter. But back in the army, the men did use to call me a fox.”
16. NAME YOUR WORST HABITS. “Mostly habits I picked up from the army. Probably the worst ones are the ones I picked up for intelligence work. Giving people no personal space, and eavesdropping at doors mostly.”

18. GAY, STRAIGHT, OR BISEXUAL? “Bisexual, I suppose.”
19. DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL? “No. I did go to the Military Academy in the past, however.”

22. WHAT ARE YOU MOST AFRAID OF? “It’s in the past and doesn’t matter anymore.”
23. WHAT DO YOU USUALLY WEAR? “I used to keep up with the latest fashion trends, but I’m getting a little old for that these days.”

25. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WET YOURSELF? “That would qualify as classified information.”
26. WHAT CLASS ARE YOU? (HIGH CLASS, MIDDLE CLASS, LOW CLASS) “People have said that I act as if I were part of a higher class. This really isn’t the case. I would consider myself middle class these days.”
27. HOW MANY FRIENDS DO YOU HAVE? “Oh, a fair number.”
28. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON PIE? “May I ask what kind of pie?”
29. FAVORITE DRINK? “Tea probably. Though I do enjoy having a brandy with the Brigadier on occasion.”
30. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE? “Sargent Benton and I would sometimes pop into the Doctor’s lab just for the fun of it. We would have a nice chat with Jo, and watch the Doctor work. Benton would make us some coffee, he always did make the best coffee, and we could spend hours just talking and watching him. Sometimes the Brigadier would come in to yell at the Doctor for some reason, or the Doctor would accidentally set off a small explosion. That was the biggest reason we came. It helped to break the days up a little. Eventually Benton set up a betting pool based on the Doctor’s activities, you know, how many beakers he would break in a week, or how many benches he could manage light on fire over the course of this experiment. Not that it matters anymore. It’s not like I can go back.“
31. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SOMEONE? “Not anymore.”
32. WHAT’S YOUR BRA CUP SIZE AND/OR HOW BIG IS YOUR COCK? “I do believe that is none of your business.”

34. WHAT’S YOUR TYPE? “Not yours, if that is what you are suggesting.”
35. ANY FETISHES? “Certainly.”
36. TOP OR BOTTOM? DOMINANT OR SUBMISSIVE? “I would imagine that it would get rather boring only being one or the other.”
37. CAMPING OR INDOORS? “Camping.”
38. ARE YOU WANTING THE QUIZ TO END? “Quiz? I thought that this was an interview. Did I pass?”
