The Doctor and the Sanctuary
The TARDIS came to a stop. “That’s strange,” the Doctor
commented.
“What’s strange?” his companion, Martha Jones, asked.
“We’ve stopped in Tokyo. But it’s somewhere I’ve stopped before.
The TARDIS is reading similar spatial distortions to the other times.”
“So, you think there could be something to it?” Martha
asked.
“Yes.”
The Doctor and Martha stepped out of the TARDIS, into a café
next to a crossroads. The Doctor scanned the area with the sonic screwdriver. “Oh!”
“Oh?”
The Doctor pointed in the direction behind the café. “Something’s
Spacey-Wasey.”
“Spacey-Wasey?” Martha asked.
“To the three dimensions of space what Timey Wimey is to
the fourth dimension of Time,” the Doctor answered.
“So, a part of Tokyo is folded in on itself?”
“Looks like it. But it may be only part of it. It’s like
a tesseract. There may be connections to pocket universes.”
“Right,” Martha said as she took it in.
The Doctor thought about what he might have found as he
and Martha sipped their cappuccino’s. Martha was petting a large cream coloured
cat. ‘There could be anything in the contorted space,’ he thought. Whether the
Japanese Government was hiding something there, or there was something else there,
he wanted to find out. He saw a teenage girl with short hair enter the café and
look at the cat Martha was petting. ‘Wait!’ the thought. There was something about
that girl. ‘Could she know about the Spacey-Wasey region?’
Yoshioka Haru looked at the two foreigners who were with
Muta at their usual table. There was something unusual about them, particularly
the man. She doubted she would have noticed if she hadn’t been involved with
the Cat Bureau. ‘The Baron would like to know at least,’ she thought as she
decided to introduce herself to them. But first she went to order a coffee.
Martha saw the girl approach. “Hi, I’m Haru.”
“Martha, and this is the Doctor.”
“I thought we could talk,” Haru said as she began petting
the cat.
“He really likes you,” Martha observed.
