[See the woman. See the naked woman clutching a darkened version of this to her chest. The video looks like it's taken outside the castle if the background is anything to go by and from a low point of view, considering she's sitting on the ground. She doesn't seem to care that she's naked but luckily (or perhaps unluckily) the architectural reconfiguration circuit gives her some sense of privacy, as does the piece of what looks like scrap metal that's laying across her lap.]

[Confused and frowning, the TARDIS is certainly unhappy at this particular moment. Her tone is a bit snippy, verging on the edge of something worse.]

That was...I am. [p a u s e] I've returned. And I'm lacking in clothing. That's a thing most of you humans disapprove of, isn't it? Could someone bring me something to wear? I'd rather not distress those who'd be offended by my naked vessel. Even a bedsheet would do.

Doctors, dear, are you still here? I'd hate to have returned only for you to have run off on me. Are the rest of you strays still living in that house in Odin? It was getting a bit crowded last I was there.

[She shifts, not once loosening her grip on the strange orb.]

I'd be grateful if someone could fill me in on what I've missed since I left. It's been a while. A lot of things can happen.

[A small huff.] Hello again, Asgard and its temporary people. I'm... [What does she go with? Last time Eleven was flaily when she introduced herself as Sexy.] ...the TARDIS, that's what you can call me.

You can sew? Is there anything you can't do?

With practice I've been able to. And I can't cook or swim.

You can't swim? Aren't you scared if you land in water?

I swam once, when I turned into a whale. However, most of the time I make a point not to land in water.

You were turned into a whale! Whatever for?

There was a malfunction in my circuitry when someone attempted to fix it. I landed in an ocean and if I hadn't I would have sunk to the bottom.

Would... you have drowned?

Of course not. If I can survive in space I can survive underwater.

[Not even her occupants would have drown.]

Do you want to learn how to swim, Miss Tardis?

I don't see much point unless Asgard floods.

Oh, well... but you can do everything else, why not this too?

Not everyone can do everything. We have limitations or we're just rubbish at some things. I don't know how to ride a bike, for instance. Or herd sheep. But someone out there is good at those things and I think...that's what helps bring people together.

Like the Doctor and I. He can't travel through time and space on his own so he's got me. And I can do that but I need a pilot to work the controls so I've got him. Honestly, I wouldn't like to be like my eldest sisters that can travel on their own - it seemed...lonely.

You have sisters? Are they lovely like you?

I have loads of sisters, no brothers at all. Three hundred and four were my closest. Most of them were a bit boring. Never wanting to explore the universe, content to see it from afar. All of us were connected and it was like a symphony with a thousand instruments that stretched across time and space and spread warmth into the darkest corners. It was never lonely.

Goodness! So many of you! And you can all travel through time and are boxes that aren't boxes that are actually ships bigger on the inside? [What a most peculiar thing!] I didn't know a ship could be boring or not! Though I suppose having known you, I should have known there would be others not like you and being boring is so very unlike you! And you're all called TARDIS?

Can you still talk to all your sisters? Even here, I mean?

That's not even all of them. [Just the ones who were the same type as her.] We can all travel through time and are bigger on the inside but we don't start off as boxes. That's just me and what I changed into after leaving Gallifry. We're cylinders, at least the ones like me are. [It's hard, talking about her sisters.] They can be boring. My eldest sisters weren't boring though. They could and would travel the stars.

We weren't always called TARDIS. We were simply "ship" at the beginning but someone came up with TARDIS and it stuck for all of us. TARDIS isn't exactly my name, it's more...my species. Like you're human. I'm a Type-40 TARDIS.

[There's a long pause at those last questions.]

No. Not anymore. All three hundred and four of my sisters were decommissioned. Our communication was cut off. Here I can't talk to any of them.

[No lies in there at all. Good job, TARDIS.]

Oh... [Even Alice knew when she reached a very sad topic.]

I'm sorry, Miss Tardis I didn't... I didn't mean to bring up such sad memories. I was just... [She bit her lip and bowed her head, although the Tardis could not see it.]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Tardis. [Alice had a bad habit of saying rather careless things, and this time she had really done it.]
