I assume no one here wants to volunteer for an experiment in genetic engineering, right? [Dramatic sigh.] And I suppose I'm not allowed to try building a weapon, either? It isn't like I could even test it. [Not enough space.] And that when there's nothing else to do on this ship.

[Private to Seven]

Do you want some more of that Silverleaf tea?

Nothing else is being somewhat overdramatic.

What do you hope to discover in your experiment? Or is that more hyperbole?

Private

[shortsghtedlove]

Oh, I could use them as test subjects for Narvin. he expressed some concern about no tests being performed on a creature higher evolved than a tafelshrew. And to be honest, I'd rather eat the tafelshrew.

And I just miss experimenting altogether. I want my Foundry.

Private

[rass_bestie]

If he insists we can ask the Doctor to use either the TARDIS, or go to find Gallifreyan medics to check the work.

Although if you graduate first, then you won't need either and you can have your Foundry.

Private

[shortsghtedlove]

Well, I told him that its usually looked down upon to use sentient creatures as test subjects. And I doubt some medic is better qualified than I.

And I'm not graduating.

[Private]

[championoftime]

Ah. Certainly. [After his talk with Rex, he's been thinking a lot about Benny.] Any reason?

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove]

Since you're so insistent that you're my friend, you might as well behave like one. [Doesn't he have a lovely way of admitting they're friends?]

[Private → Spam]

[championoftime]

Alright. If you insist.

[And then he's off to Rassilon's room. Which he's... actually a little bit glad about. He wants to put some separation between him and that other self.]

[Spam]

[shortsghtedlove]

[And Rassilon wants to get rid of those lingering thoughts. He does not want to brutally kill one of his friends, thank you very much.]

[And he'd also like to talk to someone who wasn't Omega, for once. If Omega was right about talking making things better, than multiple perspectives might also help. and it isn't like the Doctor never had any useful insights. he was the one who first suggested that Omega was in love with him, after all.]

That depends on what genetic engineering is.

[shortsghtedlove]

[...Oh dear.] Changing your genes. It could give you new abilities. Or change your looks. Or I might accidentally kill you, but I'm sure the death toll will fix that.

[19centconstable]

I...wouldn't like my looks changed. Or killed.

[shortsghtedlove]

Oh, that's a shame. Apparently you're not fit to be a test subject. ....You know, it would be much easier if my warden would allow me to build weapons. I wouldn't even have anything to test them on, but it would certainly keep me busy.

[Private. Video.]

[shortsghtedlove]

[He smirks.] Oh, I don't know yet. That's the fun.

[Private. Video.]

[shortsghtedlove]

I didn't actually expect anyone to volunteer. And even if someone did, I didn't expect my warden to actually allow it.

But if you've good some particularly interesting idea, I'm sure I could find a way to try.
