The Doctor didn't say much as the Professor climbed into the throne and he didn't say anything at all as he watched his colleague disappear under the weight of the past Guildmasters. Instead, he merely frowned ever so slightly before reaching out and grabbing the Professor's datapad from off the new Guildmaster's belt. The Guildmaster watched him do it but didn't say a word as the Chiss stepped away, slipping the datapad and the notes of his colleague into his pocket.

As the only "team leader" left, the Doctor would have been the one to put his foot down over the captive but he actually agreed with Nye.

"Please make sure you forward any interrogation data you have onto myself - society here is likely very different to what we have back home and my team..."
he trailed off before eyeing Trodai a little before finishing, "... 'lost' our own local captive."

Guiding everyone else onboard the Wildcard, the Doctor reacted with visible surprise when Rina told him that she had elected to stay. She was willing to stay here? All empirical evidence suggested that the connection between the Galaxy and this area was not a stable one - after all their only historic knowledge they could confirm as 100% true was that the previous connection had been cut thousands of years ago and nothing they'd done had established it again.

Until today.

"Very well."
he answered after a moment of silence, eyeing the small woman's wounds as he did so, "The other team came from an area with more people, perhaps they can assist you with your medical needs and your enquiries?"

He spoke as he accepted the datacard and put it away in a hidden pocket.

"Goodbye Rina Oziaf - I hope we meet again."


With that final goodbye, the Doctor entered the Wildcard's docking tube and shut the door on the station behind him. Giving the all-clear call up to the deck of the Wildcard, the Doctor sat down heavily in a nearby seat, closing his eyes for a moment as a hologram of the Captain and his droid lit up the space around them.

"Chirp cheep chirp!"


"Welcome back aboard - we make for the rift now."


With the lot of them back aboard the Wildcard, the Doctor had a moment where he thought about the issue of the shuttle he had left behind. The medical student had evacuated the station with their wounded on board one of the shuttles but there was at least one left behind - what consequences could there be for leaving such an example of their technology behind?

As the ship began to shake and accelerate into the familiar hum of hyperspace, the Doctor allowed himself the moment to just breathe. Just as with their previous jump through the Maw, the ship shook far more than usual as it was accelerated far beyond typical speed during hyperspace travel, ending in a jarring shift and familiar stars looking back at him out the viewport.

"Welcome home everyone."
