Yuan stared out at the stars. It was two years since he'd lost contact with Aselia. Over a century since the two worlds had become one. Of Lloyd and his companions, only the Sages still lived, and Yuan had gradually drifted apart from the various descendants continuing their legacy. The world had been saved, but it seemed he no longer had much

The Doctor, meanwhile, was watching the stars.

The TARDIS had insisted on lingering in space, and the Doctor hadn't the will to argue with her. This latest escapade had taken too much out of him - perhaps she thought he needed a bit of a break. A bit of peace, until the next adventure, the next -

Or perhaps she wanted him in the right place, and the right time, once again. There, a ship the likes of which he'd never seen before - and he was being contacted.

He couldn't hear the message, but the TARDIS knew she had been contacted, and thus so did he; he knew it wasn't hostile.

So, naturally, he decided to materialise inside the strange vessel.

There was someone - or something - else in his ship. Eyes widening, Yuan sprang out of his chair and whirled to face the intruder, gathering a handful of electricity in the process...and stopped short on seeing what looked like a human in an odd suit.

That wasn't at all suspicious, no.

"Who-" he tried to growl, but his voice caught, throat thick from disuse. He cleared it and tried again. "Who are you?" First person he'd seen in years or not, that would be no excuse for letting his guard down.

Automatically pulling open the TARDIS door and stepping out was, perhaps, not the most prudent option, but it was his favourite.

He still stayed close to the entrance, though his smile didn't waver at the sight of the electricity. He did raise his hands, making it clear he wasn't armed.

"A fellow traveller. Your message caught my attention, but I couldn't respond. Very sorry for the intrusion, I would have knocked if I could."
