“I kind of meant both.”

He shrugged, deciding to press on. “I’ll go until I can’t anymore.”

He huffed in thought. Old eyes flickering around the area in contemplation.

“Probably. Well. Unless the roof finally caves in or something…”

He shrugged.

“…but I don’t think it’s a trap or something if that’s what you mean.”

“I’d think it was a little bit of both,” Calum said quietly — he didn’t even know why, really. “Do you think it’s safe to go on?”

He stepped ahead and used his screwdriver as something of a dim and pretty ineffective flashlight.

But hey. It was better than nothing.

“Doesn’t look like there’s much to see. This place is a relic. Either these Sontarans are ancient or they just didn’t need this place no more.”

He shrugged.

Calum trails close behind the Reclaimer, and he stuck his head outside the door. “I don’t see much…”

“If that’s what you wanna call it…”

He felt ‘suicidal’ was probably a better word for what this was. Still, he couldn’t deny that was he intrigued by it all.

“Well. There’s a door right there, so.”

He grabbed the sonic again.

“Shall we…?”

Calum Buchan @starbrightb0y.bsky.social · Aug 23

“Color me curious.”

And he was the curious sort. Sontarans were a force to be reckoned with— why would they just abandon a perfectly good base?

“Besides, it gives us something to do, doesn’t it?”

She rose from ruin.
He carries the stain of old sins.
Together they walk the line between survival and vengeance.

Blood remembers.
Loyalty binds.
And when the past comes calling, they answer with fire.

Calum hadn’t seen To’Ra in a while, so he decided to stop by her quarters. Knocking on the door, he calls: “it’s Calum!”

“You people. Mad. All of you.”

He kept walking. Eyes gently looking around at the scene. There wasn’t any clear sign of fighting or anything of the sort.

The base was simply abandoned.

“Maybe. We’ll see. What’s it matter to you anyway? You just want a ride home.”

Calum Buchan @starbrightb0y.bsky.social · Aug 20

“Not usually, that’s the Doctor’s job. But she’s not here is she?”

He shrugged and hopped down onto the ground.

“Doesn’t look like it’ll ever work again,” Calum murmured and walked behind Req.

“Do you think this place could be of use?”

Phew.

He followed behind the human.

“Do you always walk right into high-powered weaponry or…?”

Grabbing his sonic, Req pointed it at the turret and scanned over it. The thing was complete offline and not likely to be useful again without some extensive repairs.

“No power. Rusted. Half -

Calum decided to ignore Req’s confusion. He seemed the type that didn’t like to explain himself, so he wouldn’t make him. He shrugged.

“These don’t just look disused, they look totally abandoned.”

He went over to the turrets to examine them

“Sontarans…?”

He looked up and around. He couldn’t help but frown at his own lack of knowledge. It was claimed differences between the realities were an inevitability.

Though he didn’t take that to mean an entire species.

“Can’t say I’ve heard of them.”

The color looked familiar. He’d thought he’d seen it on some sontaran armor when he was with the Doctor — but he couldn’t be sure.

He went to a wall and examined it. The shortness of the buildings added up.

“Could be sontaran. They’re short little potatoes that live for war, so the turrets—

“Can’t argue with that.”

He sort of felt the same way. Though he couldn’t let himself die. Not until his work was over.

“I see it.”

The pair walked some more and they soon found themselves standing outside of some shattered fortifications. A few old walls, a rundown entry-point, and -

“I’m not worried about dying. If I die, I die.”

He shrugged. It wasn’t like his life mattered in the grand scheme of things. Sure, he had his band, but he was certain he wouldn’t be missed.

“I think I see something, up ahead.”

“I never understood her love of trying to get herself killed.”

Of course, he’s talking about his own Doctor here. But he can’t imagine they’re much different.

Though talking about the Doctor brought back some rather painful memories for the old man.

“You never worried -

He nodded.

“She intrigued me. Plus I’ve always had that sense of adventure, y’know?”

That got a smile out of him. He truly enjoyed his time with the Doctor.

“And— Glasgow is my home. Of course I’m going tae like it!”
