☆ 1 [Holo] Another sky, a new sun, new air, a new life.
"ASTRIIIID!"
It was over, she'd done it. For him, for all those people on the planet beneath, all six billion of them, because he would save them. This will have been worthwhile, her life well spent and it only took a moment's thought, barely seconds of hesitation before she knew what she had to do.
Faster and faster she seemed to plummet towards the ship's nuclear drive, blasts of scorching air rushing past her. She could still see him, a tiny speck of hope high above her, and the fall seemed never ending. She reached out to him in vain hope, that brilliant man who'd offered her the whole universe, a dream made tangible and now she could barely see him.
"I'm falling." Flashes of burning heat ever nearing, but never closing. It was as if somehow time itself had allowed her the chance to dream, to cling to her belief in him. How long would she fall? Why wasn't it over yet?
"I keep falling. Stop me falling Doctor."
It was never going to end, it felt like her fall would last for eternity.
"I can do anything!" Angry, the Doctor's words were snarled venomously with frustration.
Wait!... She could hear him, she could actually hear him! That was his voice, she didn't imagine it did she? Was her mind playing tricks on her, was she dead, is this what happens when you die? No. No. It had to be more real than that, he'd found a way, he had to have done. He was the Doctor, and he could do anything. She was breathless, bewildered and confused, but she clung to her absolute belief in him. She was only half solid matter, half ethereal stardust as she stood there in the sterile cylindrical room?
"Doctor?" Astrid spun on her heels, taking in her unfamilar surroundings. She looked whole, but she'd realise all too soon that when she tried to pick anything up that her hand would simply fall through it. "Doctor, where are you?" After a few moments, she looked down at the tablet already attached to her wrist.
"Hello?"

[Holo]
"Oh my Vot!" Her head whipped round to watch the Master's fingers as they fell through her as if she wasn't even there. "I... I... this must be because of here somehow, I wasn't... I wasn't like this before I arrived."
Then she sees that she's still wearing the teleporter bracelet, on the opposite wrist to her new one. "They brought me in mid-teleport! That has to be it." Well it made sense in her head, even if she couldn't explain the ins and outs. It wasn't good though, not by a long way.
"It can be fixed though, if that's what it is. It can be fixed?"
no subject
"I'll take care of you," he says sincerely, looking her in the eye as he does so. "I promise." Because he needs her; he needs her to fall so deeply into his webs that getting back out will be near to impossible. He'll fix her up and that will give him the ultimate power over her...
