A daughter of time returns home. I think I'll welcome her at the TARDIS bay.

Normally, Omega would be down here, taking care of this, but he's focused on finding his super weapon son.

@tardisishome.bsky.social Can you hear me?

@sub-conscious.bsky.social Doctor!

What kind of trouble has the Doctor got himself into?

@tardisishome.bsky.social Shall we meet on Sterling Nine soon?

@thelordomega.bsky.social Brother! Are you ready?

@thelordomega.bsky.social Brother? Where are you?

Where is Omega?

Gallifrey has recovered and so have I! That's reason enough for a celebration!

I'm famished!

I...think I survived. HAHAHA!

...

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!

The sashes call to me. They want... NO, they need to connect with me in order to be whole again. Yes. YES! <CONTACT> They will make me powerful once more!

The sash keeps calling to me. It's pulling at me on a cellular level.

The sash needs me because I'm its creator.

Ever since my conversation with Omega about the sash, the original one has been calling me.

Omega claims something is different about the sash. I'll soon find out if he's correct about it. A full scan of the sash will show any changes or abnormalities.

What the hell was that?! Enough of this desolate world! I'm setting a course for Gallifrey. The sash is in a null-space container to keep it stable through the Transduction Barriers.

Urgh! My head! The sash wouldn't do this to me. Something else is affecting me! They don't know with whom they're dealing!

No! NO! What is this weakness that has come upon me? I must shake it off. It's time for me to return the sash to Gallifrey.

I have it! It's been a long time since I've worn this one. The microchips will reawaken the power in the sash's matrix.

Now that I know what I'm looking for, it'll be easy to find. My mind had forgotten the old times when I created the two sashes. The sash I gave Omega crashed here after being ejected from the antimatter universe.

Why do I feel eyes upon me?

This world does not give up its secrets easily. Where these microchips were found, nothing is left. I'm examining the remaining structures around the crater.

@tardisishome.bsky.social What else can you tell me about these microchips, besides where you found them?

I've been examining this strange microchip for days. It behaves like Validium, but the metal's atomic structure differs. I need to inspect the area where it was found on Durcerus.

Hm.

Crew! Listen up! The ship is ready to cross the transduction barriers. We're going home!

@tardisishome.bsky.social There he is! The Time Lord who saved my life. Thank you, son! Omega said you wanted to speak with me before we go home. It's your home too.

That should do it, everyone! Calibrations have finished so let's return to the others. That'll be the final test.

<groans>

Let's go home, crew!

......... Did you hear that?! There's a Gallifreyan signal! Move over! MOVE! <comm controls> It's around this frequency.......come on!

Laying a trap for Davros takes precise coordination.

@tardisishome.bsky.social You should know that Davros is looking for you.

Using a spy in Davros' top command has given me an advantage like never before.

Davros will regret his betrayal to our agreement! - fists clenched -

We're losing ground with the shields! They'll break through soon unless we stop them! OMEGA! HEAR ME, BROTHER!

<Attention Gallifrey! We're under attack by our enemies! Davros has compromised our transduction barriers! Prepare to FIGHT! >

Trace that broadcast back to its origin! FIND DAVROS!

What is this degradation here in the transduction barrier? Have the sentries check that out! Immediately!

Any deal with Davros is tenuous, at best. Regardless, I'm willing to try it.

[ Attention Gallifrey! This is your Lord Rassilon! I have escaped the Dalek Emperor's ship during a battle between his Daleks and another faction. I stole a scout ship but it was disabled in the battle. Send immediate assistance to these coordinates. Hurry! ]

Send this transmission out on a fake emergency channel to Gallifrey. I know hearing me shout for help will get Davros' attention.

Dammit! He's hesitating! Put out another signal that he would look for. Use anything to lure him back!

The misinformation is working. Davros thinks the Daleks have captured me. He is coming closer to our trap.

Send out an encrypted message to Gallifrey. Mark it urgent. We're luring in a mutant.

Tell the crew to be on alert. Davros has infiltrated our ranks before. Everyone should have their body scans activated.
