1. Flashback
It had been quiet aboard the TARDIS. But the Doctor didn’t just want to sit around in the console room when he could be out there exploring, or otherwise experiencing the universe. He was sure he had recovered from his comparatively traumatic recent regeneration. The ship landed. He briefly wished Grace had joined him, so he would be sharing this experience, this adventure, with at least one person.
He emerged from the TARDIS to find that had landed in the middle of a food court in a Star Mall, a Mall floating in interstellar space, on the confluence of several high traffic interstellar travel routes. “There could be worse places,” he murmured. But he knew such places were good places to start, and end adventures, if the timing was right. He knew the TARDIS would have got that right. He looked around at the Take Away places.
