001.

[The first thing Lark does is follow his nose. He gets himself some food, enough to clear his mind, and then finds a quiet corner up on the deck where he can watch the universe drift by. He watches the network first, making cursory judgments of the people there. And then he turns the camera on himself.

He's not sure any of this is real, but it's always safest to pretend it is. If it's real to these people, it needs to be real to him.

Monarchism depth doubtfully entrancing.

[He closes his eyes, no. Not right. Slow breath in: who am I?]

Sorry. My name is Lark. I've already introduced myself to the cafeteria, [he holds up his clean spoon] You eat pretty well here. Better than I've had in other cages. I can tell what most of the things on my plate were originally. In a place like this, in times like these, that's a blessing.

[Now the question. Time to find out the important things. He should have waited, but he doesn't have time to spare.

Who am I? Lark. Where am I? That, as Shakespeare said, is the question.

I'm still monkey lid drudging cloud?

That would violate our oldest laws. I cannot interfere with the timelines in another universe.

[Except sometimes the Celestial Intervention Agency does anyway. They're selective when it comes to obeying Time Lord laws.]

In the ancient times Gallifrey possessed a massive empire. But our influence over these worlds did not always result in a positive outcome for them. [Narvin is good at understatement. Ancient Gallifreyans were terrible people.]

Lord Rassilon instituted the non-intervention policy to protect the peoples of the universe and the integrity of the web of time. If we gave Earth advanced technology, why not Antari Three? Why not Indra? Krontep? And if they misused that technology and destroyed themselves in the process, did we want to be responsible for their extinction? It was safer not to go down that slippery slope at all.
