[When the communicator turns on, it shows undoubtedly Rassilon's room -- an old Gallifreyan study -- and a little boy who, as some may recognize, is Rassilon. A very young Rassilon. And slightly confused looking one.]

Uncle? Are you sure this is the right room? [He waves the camera around to show the room off some more.] Someone's already living

Don't worry about it, Rass, you're on a ship. Can you head towards the bottom? My room's number eight.

Peylix-? A ship? What am I doing on a ship? Father will get mad at me!

[rass_bestie]

Last time I was here I didn't even remember it, let alone lose any time. Your father won't notice before we get back. Neither will we, frankly.

[shortsghtedlove]

You were here before? [Well, that's at least somewhat reassuring. And while Peylix explanation sounds a bit outlandish it is Peylix (and no doppelganger could ever hope to fool him, right?), so there's no reason not to believe it.] It's not dangerous outside this room, is it?

I woke up in a strange room, myself.

[Rhade is growing more suspicious.] Where in the Commonwealth do you hail from? [Oh please be from somewhere in the Commonwealth.]

[shortsghtedlove]

What's the Commonwealth?

And Peylix says this is some sort of ship, but it's nothing to worry about. apparently we'll be returned home before long. And he was here before.

...What's your name?

[majorum_pride]

It's the planetary union. But someone here remembers something called the Federation. And some people remember neither.

...My name is Gaheris Rhade. I'm a Nietzschean. And I think we already are home. [He holds a picture of him and Dylan up to the screen.] This is me, I think. But older.

[shortsghtedlove]

I don't know any of those unions. I do know the Gallifreyan Empire, though? ...Perhaps you're just from different parts of the universe?

But this isn't Gallifrey... Perhaps we were on vacation here?
