Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady

Alpha waited in the Shuttle Bay. It had been four hours since Nina had left the marooned ship. She wondered why she was taking so long. She had gone over the Starfleet records on the encounters with the Doctor. Those hadn't really been illuminating, hardly applicable to the situation she found herself in, despite there being Voyager logs in the mix. She had re-read Captain Janeway's report on her third encounter with the Doctor when she heard the sound of the TARDIS beginning to arrive. “Finally.”

The TARDIS landed. Alpha could see that it was once again disguised as a shuttle, and was adorned with the Baffin's registry number on it's sides. Nina emerged. She still looked a little wet from her dip in the ocean, although she was no longer soaked. “Why do you look worried?” she asked.

“It's over four hours since you left that ship,” Alpha replied. “What happened out there?”

“It's nothing,” Nina said with a shake of her head.

It was clearly not nothing, but Alpha decided to give her the benefit of the doubt.

“This is but a temporary setback,” Kamasagi retorted.

“No doubt of that,” Clara said.

“Clara!” the Doctor objected.

“We’ll have to investigate further,” she said.

“Oh, you’re good,” Kamasagi said with sarcasm.

Clara just responded with a glare.

“Of course,” the Doctor said. “But there is something else you should be aware of,” the Doctor said as he parried a blow.

“What’s that?” Kamasagi said as he locked blades with Mariko.

“You have underestimated me,” the Doctor said. He brandished his ‘sonic’ device again.

Excerpt from: Star Wars – A Skywalker’s Journey

Rey knew staying on Tattooine wasn’t an option. The planet reminded her too much of Jakku. Then there was the fact the Hutts ran the place. She approached the Falcon, which had landed close to the abandoned Lars moisture farm. “Time to go,” she said to Chewbacca.

“Where?” he asked.

“Naboo,” she answered. “It may be where my grandfather came from, but it’s also where their mother came from.

Chewie nodded as he boarded the ship ahead of her.

The Falcon emerged from hyperspace into the Naboo system.
