"(SoS) DSMP 3.5: Transfer Students from Beyond Time"
 
   Monday, February 1, 2410
Deedlit Satori Mandeville Memorial Institute
Jeraddo, Republic of Bajor

The storm that swept through the Lake Jeradar region on the afternoon of the first of February grabbed the attention of virtually everyone at DSM, simply because it was so anomalous. Wild weather was not that unusual in DSM's neighborhood, but it was the wrong time of year for electrical storms, and while there had been high winds to go with the thunder and lightning, there was no precipitation of any kind - no snow, no hail, not even a light mist. Then, too, the event was weirdly brief, lasting no more than twenty minutes from the time the abnormally warm wind first started to kick up to the last fluttery gusts and distant rumbles. No injuries were reported, nor any significant damage. The school meteorologists confessed themselves baffled as to the cause of the freak storm, eventually (and a bit lamely) chalking it up as just one of those things.

What was arguably the most freakish fact of all about the storm went almost entirely unremarked: In twenty minutes of furious, gusting winds and ominous thunder, there had been only one stroke of lightning. This occurred in the Single Acre Wood, between the Duelists' Castle and the center of campus. Those who saw it from a distance reported that it had looked strange: not white, nor jagged, but straight as a lance and of a peculiarly prismatic coloration. Everyone assumed its curious appearance had been a trick of the light, though, and as it happened during the sixth period, there was no one nearby the point of impact. No one potentially in harm's way... and no one to witness what happened next.

Some distance from the footpath through the Wood, the lightning strike that was not a lightning strike had created a small new clearing. Oddly circular, around 20 feet in diameter, it was completely devoid of trees, snow, even grass and rocks, as if something had stripped away everything but a disk of perfectly level, hard-packed earth. The snow around the edge, as precisely removed as if it had been cut with a die, steamed gently in the chill afternoon air.

In the center, two huddled figures stirred, then began slowly to pick themselves up with muted groans and shaken heads. For the first few seconds, they were entirely wrapped up in their own personal worlds, running internal diagnostics and checking themselves for proper limb counts. Then, slowly, they began to engage with the world outside their heads, blinking around at the woods. At first they were looking away from each other, coming to a basic grasp of where they were. Then, at virtually the same instant, both whirled as if in sudden alarm, wild-eyed with something like panic - until they caught sight of each other, at which point they fell together like lost souls, holding on as though to keep from drowning.

They were thus occupied for nearly a minute, filling that time with soft, wordless sounds of relief and affection, and with caresses and kisses intended to convey not physical desire, but rather a kind of profound existential gratitude on the part of each for the mere presence of the other. Finally they seemed satisfied that they really were together. Parting, they each stepped back a pace or two to take a first good look at the other.

They were a boy and girl in their middle teens, she coltish and tall, he slim, nearly the same height, and wiry. He had a shock of sandy brown hair and a thin, sharp face dominated, but not quite overpowered, by a prominent nose; despite his youth he could have done with a shave. She was the classic green-eyed redhead, pale-skinned and round-cheeked, her long coppery hair a tousled riot. Both wore what appeared to be school uniforms, mostly charcoal grey with white shirts and red neckties, under warmer outerwear - a dark wool overcoat for him and a retro-mod fishtail parka for her.

"Oh... my God," he said, his voice colored with what in this time would be taken for a Westminstrian accent. "You're... "

She nodded. "So are you," she said, her own inflection rather more Caledonian. She dug in an inside pocket of her parka and came up with a plastic card bearing a holo of her face. Peering at it with a semi-frown, she took a moment to absorb what it said, then looked up and said, "I've got a student ID card from the Deedlit Satori Mandeville Memorial Institute." She glanced down at herself and smoothed the pleats of the checkered skirt she wore over her heavyweight black winter tights. "Guess that explains the uniform... "

He nodded, holding up a similar card. "As do I," he replied. Looking more closely at his, he brightened slightly and said, "2410, hey! We're not far from home this time."

She put her ID back in her pocket and looked around again. "So why are we in a wood?"

In the distance, a bell rang, the kind that could generally be found in clock towers and churches. The two paused and listened; it sounded three times.

"Three o'clock," he said. "We're late for - ow," he added, putting a hand to his temple with a wince. "I hate that part."

"Right then," she said, checking her pockets in sequence. "Inventory. ID: check. Dismayingly small amount of the local currency: check." She reached behind her right shoulder and touched the grip of a Japanese-style sword she didn't seem surprised to find there. "Sword of Destiny: check." Putting her arm over his shoulders, she gave him a joggling half-hug and continued, "Boy: check."

"Oh, thank you," he said dryly.

She smiled, tweaked the knot of his tie slightly, and then took his hand, lacing her fingers with his. "C'mon, let's go see what they've got for us this time."

They passed out of the trees and into the neatly tended grounds of the Institute's central campus, looked back, and knew at once (though they had never been there before) that they had just come from the Single Acre Wood. Beyond it, rising high on its hill and lording over the campus, was the cream-and-red eminence of the Duelists' Castle. Now they were coming into the southwest corner of the Common, in the angle formed by Churchill Hall on the left and Hopkins Hall on the right. Other, similarly-uniformed students passed here and there, bound on their own errands. A few noticed the pair and waved or nodded acknowledgement to them.

One, a serious-looking girl with long turquoise hair, paused near them and said with a hint of asperity, "Rory. Amy. PDA? We've talked about this."

The two new arrivals looked in puzzlement at each other - What's she on about? - and then realized that they were still holding hands and released each other, stepping slightly apart.

"Sorry, Kaname," said Rory sheepishly.

"Hey, don't get me wrong, it's no skin off my back," Kaname Sterling told them, smiling. "But you don't want Natsuki, She-Wolf of the RA Council, to report you again, right?"

"No argument here," Amy agreed, nodding. Then, noting the slender blonde who had trotted over to catch up with Kaname, she smiled and said, "Hey, Lindsey."

"Hey, Amy," said Lindsey Willows. "Rory. She getting you in trouble again?"

"That's why I hang around with her," said Rory, making Lindsey grin.

"Hey, don't you guys both have classes at three?" Kaname asked, glancing at her wristwatch. "Running late... "

Amy grinned. "In the Wood, lost track of time, you know how it goes," she said, nudging Rory with an elbow.

"You were in the Wood just now?" Lindsey asked. "Did you see the lightning?"

Amy glanced mischievously at Rory (who reddened a little and looked ostentatiously away), then said to Lindsey, "Not really. Bit busy... "

Kaname rolled her eyes. "So much more than I need to know," she said. "I'm Rory's RA, not his mother. Anyway, speaking of Natsuki, we've got an RAC meeting at quarter past. I better get a move on or she'll find something to report me for. Catch you guys later."

As ever at this time of day, Sosuke Sagara was waiting for her at the South Bridge over Mandeville Stream. She acknowledged him with a nod, then realized that he wasn't looking at her but past her, to the spot where the two she'd just been talking to were standing in front of Hopkins Hall, evidently conferring. He had that look on his face, the one that said his mercenary weirdo radar was picking up something he thought was interesting.

"What?" she said.

Sosuke kept gazing at the pair from the Wood for a moment, then shook his head. "I have no concrete evidence at this time, but my instincts tell me there's something very odd about Williams. He obviously has military training, but of a type I can't identify, which... shouldn't happen."

That only got a snort out of Lindsey, but Kaname laughed and said, "You think Rory's like you? Rory Williams? Undercover army bodyguard boy? Ha!" She glanced back over her shoulder, then looked at Sosuke again, shaking her head with an indulgent smile. "If so he's way better at it than you are."

"That's possible, however unlikely," Sosuke said as the trio set off across the bridge toward the admin building, and Kaname had to pause for a moment and try to decide whether he was being sarcastic. Could Sosuke be sarcastic?

"Also," Kaname went on, "having trouble thinking of a girl at this school who needs a bodyguard less than Amy Pond."

"You?" Lindsey hazarded. "The only one here who has one?"

"Thank you, Miss Willows, that'll be all," said Kaname mock-wearily. "What cracks me up," she went on to Sosuke after a moment, "is that you think there's something odd about Rory but you're perfectly OK with his six-foot Scottish Valkyrie girlfriend and her samurai sword."

Sosuke looked puzzled by the objection. "Miss Pond is a Duelist," he said. "In that context the sword is perfectly normal. It would be strange if she didn't carry one. Also, she isn't six feet tall, she's five-foot-ten. Though I do think it's extremely probable that she'll reach six feet within the next two years."

Kaname gave him a resigned smile. "Are you for real, soldier boy?"

"I'm the realest person you're ever going to meet, Miss Chidori," he replied stoically.

Back in front of the science buildings, Rory and Amy made ready to report late to their respective classes in Hopkins and Maxim Halls.

"Well... looks like this is it," said Rory. "I'll see you at dinner, yeah?"

"Table 14, like always," Amy replied, then blinked and shook her head. "I never get used to that." Then she grinned, straightened his tie again, and said, "Good luck, Mr. Pond."

"Be good, Mrs. Williams," he said; then they high-fived as they passed each other, and each went into the opposite building.

   Oooooookaaaaay...not being a Doctor Who person, I definitely missed the boat on this one. Mind you, I adore DSM Panic, and I've liked what I've seen so far of the Doctor Who characters transplanted into UF, but nothing I've seen in UF so far would explain how they insinuated themselves so easily into the school...if that's even what actually happened.

I, er, don't suppose someone would be kind enough to clue me in, or point me in the right direction so I can read about it myself? I'm not even sure what to search for.

In this case, I'm not entirely sure there's much to search for. This one doesn't seem to have too much to connect it to the original Who setting (Which isn't that surprising really, given that NuWho has taken a very different path in UF).

Right now, this is all theory work on my part, based off guesses from watching/reading far, far too much sci-fi and fantasy. Meet Amelia and Rory Pond/Williams (Married, choice of last name depends on if they're adventuring or if Amy's in a weird mood again), travelling companions of the Eleventh Doctor. Somehow, they've ended up in the UF universe, reality altering to accept them as 'natives', rather then the 'visitors from outside' we've seen with groups like the X-men.

Where they originated from, I'm not entirely sure. My two theories are:

1) This is the Amelia from the 'British-UF' universe Rose Tyler was stuck in for a decade or so, and one of her own later adventures resulted in them getting thrown out of that universe and bouncing across the Multiverse trying to get home. Rory is there because you can't have the Towering Inferno without the Last Centurion. It's a rule.

2) This is the Amy and Rory from what is more or less a 'mainline' Doctor Who universe, last being seen lost in time and space just because Moffat likes to punch the Doctor and the viewers in the stomach. In UF, the Last Great Time War never happened/was undone/something else timey-whimey, so we've got a pair of companions from a timeline that now never happened coming back to reality.

I'm kinda hoping for option two or a variant of such. It'd certainly explain Sousuke realizing that Rory was not a man to be messed with.

I've officially stopped caring. They're there, I'm sure Gryphon will do well by them. Rowr!

Neither of these is exactly correct, but you're much closer with option 2. I don't propose to explain it here because, well, where's the fun in that (see my own response to Verbena), but I will say that the two characters we meet here have no connection to New Albion or the pocket universe it's in. That is not Detective Inspector Amelia Pond of the New Albion Metropolitan Police. I won't say we'll never see her in the main UF universe - crazy things happen when you work with the Galactic Police Organisation's Science Patrol - but that isn't her.

In fairness, you're not supposed to know how this works yet, and being fully conversant with the Doctor Who canon wouldn't help you much. Much that is presented in this piece is intended to be mysterious - it's basically just the pulltab for a longer plot. So if you're concerned that there was an "oh, so that's it" moment buried in here that only hardcore DW fans would spot, you can relax - there isn't. It's a mystery on purpose.

Aha! Actually, this helps a lot. I didn't really think of that happening, but the fact is, I usually know a little something about whatever source a new character comes from, and them being accepted so readily made no sense given noone else shifting over alters reality just by coming in! Otherwise there wouldn't -be- a "So You've..." for parallel dimensions. Since it didn't follow that pattern, I thought it was a Doctor Who reference. If not, that works fine. =) Looking forward to DSMP 4!

>Aha! Actually, this helps a lot.

Well, there you go, then. :)

>Looking forward to DSMP 4!

DSMP Mission 4 is actually out already - this one is Mission 3.5 simply because it happens the day before. (It doesn't require any revisions to 4, though, because Amy and Rory still didn't play any part in the events of the Lunchtime War. They were probably off playing Hitler-in-the-Cupboard* or something while that was unfolding.)

Oh, also, this is as good a place as any to mention this: the introduction of these two doesn't mean they'll be hijacking the DSMP arc or anything like that. It's just that I needed them in place at DSM in the late winter and spring of 2410, and it made natural sense to plug their introduction into the DSMP cycle, because DSMP is happening in that place and at that time anyway. As we see here, they've {become|always been} members of the DSM campus community at this point, so they're part of the picture, but DSMP remains - per Phil's vision, if you'll pardon me for using such a loaded art word - mainly about Sosuke and Kaname.

The Ponds' main deal will instead be in the resumption of Symphony No. 5, which - God willing and the creek don't rise - I'm hoping to get stuck back into for my summer vacation.

*That one is a Doctor Who reference, kind of, but don't worry, it's not important. :)

Hmm, pointless (ridiculous) speculation time.
1. They were in the Duelest contingent at the wedding and slip in with the Roman Legion for the sheer lark of the thing (Rory keeps his uniform in a trans-dimensional pocket for just these occasions). or,
2. Amy and Rory are passing through the hanger at B6 on the way to Somewhere Else and Amy provides percussive reconditioning to the succubus, thereby saving Nall's frosty tail (which he really doesn't need saving, but like any good dragon, why expend the energy if someone else will do it for you). or,
3. Amy 'borrowed' Jack Harkness' personal time teleporter thingie after a nights boozing on Omega and accidentally triggered the Quantum Leap subroutine, much to Rory's (somewhat belated) dismay when he realizes Jack 'borrowed' their official wedding certificate and replaced Amy's name with his own. (Not that Jack isn't a nice guy, you know, but hey. Amy.)

Yeah, bit bored at work today...

No, but if I'm parsing it correctly, it would be the first time Rory's ever accidentally married the wrong guy.

Taken off the wrist of a handsome Time Agency operative?

I said off the wrist!

Definitely looking forward to discovering where you're going with this one -- and it's great to see the Amy/Rory team back onstage.

How dare you, sir! Sullying the hallowed name and cherished memories of that most beloved of their innocent childhood games with your scurrilous innuendo. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?
