More Time Lord Art


Here we go. Sophie, here's a drawing I did on my
trip. It's what I hope our group will come to one
day.

A trip gone wrong

Aaah, sorry bout that, now. What'd I miss?
Oh, not much apparently. Sorry 'bout the Master, Sophie.
Sometimes he can't control himself. Well... more than sometimes.
Anywho, you may be wondering where I was. Well, it all started
about a month ago, when I was cleaning the TARDIS. I found a
shiny thing on the floor, and when I picked it up to examine it,
it absorbed me! I know, I should have realized earlier that
it was a Extrontilipious Texhindrink Nanophot, but, alas. It was too late.
It spat me up in a strange new universe, where, upon landing in a rather
pink tree, I came across a nice young lady by the name of Toshiko.
Upon seeing me in the tree, she called upon a very kind Owl
Griffin by the name of Hergin to pick me up and put me down.
She then told me their names, and to their home.
Toshiko's husband, Owen, then told me that their villiage hadnt had
rain for 7 years, and they were probably going to starve if, I recall
his exact words, the stupid fat clouds didnt go piss in the next few
months. When these beautifully thought out words hit my ears,
I knew, something must be done. So, I embarked on a terrifying
journey down a yellow brick road and some stuff happened.
Anyways, I got to a castle, saved a man called Ianto from
a terrifying 456 beast, ran into a man who looked suspiciously like Jack,
who then took Ianto from me in exchange for a flute, that when
played summoned rain, I played it, it rained, there were Bollywood dances,
and with all the joy and love in the air, I was teleported back to Earth,
somehow, and so, here I am! (I had to do a poledance to get enough UU
to make it over here.)

So, hope that explains my absence.

"Where's the Doctor?" "I thought you were watching him..."

It's been almost two days since anyone has seen the Doctor, and the Master and I are getting worried. I know it's silly and he'll probably turn up any minute, but whenever the Doctor is out of earshot of the Master for more than ten minutes, the Master freaks out and turns the lab upside down searching for him, which, of course, upsets all my research papers, which sets the project back by a few months, at least. Of course, the Doctor usually puts a stop to this by walking in with an ice cream cone or a sandwich or something, innocently asking what's going on. This is usually followed by the pair of them trying to sneak off to the TARDIS without me noticing. Not that I generally would, as I am the only one who actually does any work anyways...I should have the rights to that screwdriver. At least I would put it to some good scientific use (BESIDES locking doors and making things explode!)

Doctor + Buffy = What Vampires? Those were totally Saturnynians...

With the beginning of this month comes a new barrage of questions, theories, and research opportunities that are dying to be explored, so we'll be quite busy in the lab for the next few weeks...Please excuse our sad lack of new posts for the next bit. Also as the Doctor appears to have gone AWOL, the Master and I are working on finding him. Knowing the Doctor, he's popped out to get an original copy of Dracula in London, 1897 and forgotten to tell us.

Look, i drew a self portrait!

Hanawesome: handsome plus awesome. I got a new tie! it's purple! like blood! I like blood. NOT LIKE THAT, JACK! I added my location as venus, which apparently for the rather dim is in californya. I mean , californya? Did they put a decoy there? Everyone know venus (NOT YOU JACK) is in cardiff! Californya is made of fake tans and vampires. Even the slightly dim know that! You poor pathetic wierdly-cardioligical-arranged (it's a word because i say so) ape-beings know that! But apparently, my computer dosent. Maybe if i threaten it it'll work better?

Lost: Doctor. If Found, Please Return.

We seem to have, ah, misplaced a member of our team. He calls himself the Doctor, or sometimes John Smith. He is approximately 6'1, brown hair, brown eyes. He carries a sonic screwdriver (a kind of metal stick with a light on the end that makes a sort of whirring buzz) and may or may not talk very quickly and/or loudly to himself and/or others, using long complicated words and scientific terms. He is generally enthusiastic and easily excited. If found, please return to the Venus Project Laboratories, (VPL) Venus, (Sol II), Mutters Spiral (sometimes known as the Stellian Galaxy or Galaxia Kyklos, depending on your species). Please contact Sophie Fletcher, Science Department.



Please Note: If he tells you to run for your life, don't question. Just do it. (Especially if he tells you to stay out of the shadows, or not to blink.)

I also haven't seen the Master in a while, which is unusual...I sent him to go check the TARDIS library--for the third time--to see if the Doctor might be there. Seeing as I sent him yesterday, you'd think he'd be back by now. Fortunately, I haven't seen him since.

With one third of the team missing, an extra workload is put on us all--Oh, who am I kidding. It doesn't make a difference, as I do everything anyway.

Well, Wasn't That Interesting?

Hello all, and welcome back to Venus Vacations! Please excuse us for our two-month hiatus. The Doctor, the Master and I decided to go on a brief trip in the TARDIS to celebrate the extension of the Venus Project. However, we ran into some difficulties and were delayed. (Those Raxacoricofallapatorians really don't like acetic acid, do they?) At any rate, we will be resuming the Venus Project exactly as planned. I am lobbying for the ISTA to extend the project for another few months, as we have used up a third of our remaining time in that little--ahem--adventure. Wish me luck in dealing with any...difficulties that may arise!

Shocking Research Confirms Theory

Our research in the lab has confirmed a shocking theory about the chemical buildup of Venus' core. Although I am unable to reveal full details to the public at the current time, I can say that there is a good chance that life exists deep below that harsh exterior! A probe is being prepared to drill through the surface of an uninhabited area with a message of peace as soon as possible! This is also our first experiment uninterrupted by the Master--perhaps he has given up on his evil schemes! The ISTA is sure to be pleased with our discovery and is sure to choose Venus for its next campaign! I will post further details as they arise!

--Edit--

Never mind the last bit. It was just the Master messing around with the computers! I SWEAR someday I'll get him back for this!

Venus Mission Extended

Good news for our research! The Venus mission has been extended for another six months! While this does mean I have to put up with several annoyances for longer than I'd hoped, it also means that my research can be delved into more extensively. This is good because there are a few places I have been wanting to see outside of the lab, but I was unable to leave because there wasn't enough time to repair my suit, which the Master ripped a hole in. Now that it has been extended, I will not only be able to repair it, but will be able to use it often as well!
The lab is undergoing repairs as well, since there was a major explosion there yesterday. I was the only one present at the time, and I managed to duck into the corridor just in time. I suspect the Master was behind it.

Transport

So, somehow this was NOT POSTED, grrr. Anyways, transporting to venus is like this: Go to stationy thing on earth. Pay OOLA MOOLA (24570000 UU (universal units for those of you who are rather dim (like a certain ginger assistant))). Still, teleporting is faster than shuttling, even if it's more expensive. Also, it provides good opportunities for certain ginger to have an "accident". Basically, for the rather dim, you get broken up into a bunch of molecule and then fly through SPAAACE. Then you get reassembled instantaneously at the other end, but you STILL have to go through security. They take away your weapons and everything! I said, "oh, it's just a LITTLE death ray" but NO. I needed to protect my Hubby! What if there was an emergency? What if I NEEDED to disintegrate screaming bystanders so he had an escape route? So you just ZAP there and then you're in the main Slidecation port IN SPAAACE. It is sort of like an artificial moon/space elevator, and from ther you can slide down to a slidecation/a floating hotel/ a fiery pit of death (GINGER).

Research in the Lab

Research in the lab is going well, apart from a few minor explosions caused by certain associates. Most of our experiments have been successful, apart from a few of my personal favorites that were sabotaged.
While the Doctor and I explored the many aspects of Volcanic Surfing last week, the Master managed to rip a large hole in my protective suit. He continues to insist that it was an accident, and that he didn't MEAN to point the atomic laser in my direction, but I remain suspicious, as he has tried many times to get rid of me before. He also insists on excluding me from as many activities as possible, although I always find a way to participate, even when they are risky and dangerous. He also tries to embarrass me as much as possible, but I don't let these obstacles get in my way and continue to remain dignified at all times on this expedition.

Article on Venusian Beauty Walk

The Venusian Beauty Walk is part of an annual festival held on Venus to celebrate beauty, love and fertility, the ancient Roman Earth Goddess of which was Venus. Anyone is able to participate in the Festival, but to participate in the main Beauty Walk, one must be specifically requested by a high panel of judges. Thousands of people watch the Beauty Festival, and it is held in the highest respect throughout the Solar System. Tourists flock to Venus every November simply to watch the Festival, which is free for everyone.

History Of Venus

During Earth's Roman Period, Venus was commonly recognized as the Goddess of Love and Fertility. Her most famous portrait was painted by Sandro Botticelli, who depicted her rising from the sea in a great shell. Portrayals of Venus usually show her as a rather large, naked woman with long hair, often associated with water, and looking solemn or loving. The very word "Venus" means "Love" in ancient Latin, and several cults devoted to her worship have appeared over the centuries.

Rituals to Venus often involved an animal sacrifice. This barbaric and primitive ceremony has not been acted upon in centuries.

On Earth, the planet Venus was first known as the Morning or Evening Star to ancient civilizations, who had no form of telescope or camera to observe that it was not, in fact, a star at all, but a planet. Ancient Egyptians thought that the Morning Star and the Evening Star were two different bodies, and did not understand the theory of Earth turning in space. The ancient Greek civilization named the Goddess Venus Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. Early Earth scientists were unable to see past the layers of harsh mist that shrouded the planet, and spent years speculating as to what could lie beneath it.

When Earth's early NASA program sent the first probe to Venus, its primitive technology did not enable it to enter the atmosphere. In fact, the projectile missed the planet entirely and was lost. The first probe to enter the atmosphere was called the Venera 3 and was sent by an Earth country called the Soviet Union. The probe crashed on the planet and was rendered useless by the damage received. The broken probe is on display, along with its predecessors, in the Venusian Museum. Several probes that arrived after are also on display there. Most of them crash-landed, managed to send data signals for a few minutes, then died.
The most successful Venus probe was the Magellan Probe, launched by Earth's United States of America. It managed to transmit signals for more than four and a half years before failure.

Hotel

Our hotel is very nice. It is all floaty in the upper atmosphere, cause air here floats like helium. plans to kill everyone else dashed by realisation that I can't be in the the hotel when I let the air out. The atmosphere is very pretty and very deadly. Like me!
