Chapter 1 - Azores
29 September 2018, The Azores Autonomous Region, Portugal, just outside the city of Ponta Delaga
The TARDIS had materialised in a forest. Sabir emerged from the TARDIS first. Though he came from an era when world travel was commonplace (but not as commonplace as later) he had never been to the Azores. He breathed in the air, hardly any pollution could be smelt. “It is peaceful,” he said.
“You know that can change very quickly Sab,” the Doctor said, as she followed him out of the TARDIS.
‘Sab’ felt a flush of embarrassment; despite the length of time he had already travelled with the Doctor, he still wasn't used to her calling him by that diminutive. (But there were other diminutives he wouldn't have minded so much.) “It is not that likely that aliens would start invading the Earth here or that there would be any experiments that could go wrong.”
“But, these things are unexpected,” the Doctor said, knowing that Sab would continue to argue the point…
Daniel exited the ‘timeship’, as he called it, to see Sabir and the Doctor arguing, again!
They were arguing about whether they would find events/actions that the Doctor would have to be involved in, to right the wrongs. “Why do you always have to argue with each other?” he asked.
“We are not arguing,” Sabir said, with a blush.
“Maybe we were, Dan, but things can change very quickly, as you know,” the Doctor explained, her voice showing little strain.
