Treize is gone.

How many of you have people from your own universe here?

[Filtered to Slade, Graham and Bourne]

Has anyone made a report about what happened?

[Private to Cooper]

How's Zero?

It's a difficult question, nearly impossible to answer, since any one of the people whom I think are from my universe may in fact be from a close parallel universe with differences so slight they aren't observable without specialized equipment.

That said, there are seven others who, at the very least, come from a universe so similar to my own that we recognized each other. By reputation or mutual acquaintances if not personal familiarity.

[resultofwar]

Are they your allies?

[timesbureaucrat]

I wouldn't call them that, exactly. Although some of us have occasionally assisted one another.

[resultofwar]

Why aren't they?

[timesbureaucrat]

Because my agency has killed the Doctor once and attempted to kill him on a few other occasions. Braxiatel is my political rival of many centuries. Lord Rassilon is my President. The only Time Lord I don't have a...complicated history with is Omega. And even he, as co-founder of my entire race, would be difficult to categorize as merely an ally.

As for the humans...they were companions of the Doctor and the sort of people who tend to travel with the Doctor are generally not my idea of a good ally. [They're too compassionate for Narvin's usual methods.]

[resultofwar]

I see. [Dear god, you guys would probably give Gundam Wing a run for the most complicated politics ever.]
