TREKWHO 1: Odo's TARDIS by Clyde Meli

FANFIC STORY NOTES

Takes place straight after Doctor Who: The Kobali

* * * * * 


'My name is Odo. I am a shapeshifter who was adopted by a Gallifreyan
years ago. I took this TARDIS as my own after my adoptive father, the
previous occupant, who died due to radiation burns. Before dying he gave it
to me. We were travelling because both us were fed up with our decadent
Gallifreyan society and I wanted to explore the universe and perhaps
find others of my kind. That is, until it developed systematic troubles.
My TARDIS needs urgent repairs. My father was called Sandman.'


The Doctor replied 'We have orders to arrest you. Don't you have a
better excuse than this?'

'It is not an excuse.' Odo said.

'Do you have any proof, any holorecordings, documents of some sort, to prove
your claim that the TARDIS was given to you?' the Doctor asked.

'I do not have anything. If anything I should be the one to inherit it,
as my father did not have other heirs.' Odo explained.

'There is a problem of your race. While technically or legally you are
Gallifreyan due to the adoption, our legislation isn't exactly in
your favour. Now that the Time Lord who adopted you has died, you don't
exactly remain Gallifreyan. So it is not clear if you should inherit or
not.' the Doctor said.

'This sounds very discriminatory to me.' Odo said.

'Gallifreyan Law is, very Gallifreyan. Distinct in nature. Very. Odd at times.'
the Doctor said.

Suddenly Captain Archer entered the room and said: 'Mr. Odo, isn't that
your name, well here you are in Earth territory, so you will not be
arrested.'

'But Sir' the Doctor was irritated at seeing the Captain do this.

'Dismissed' the Captain did not want the Doctor doing the usual
Gallifreyan mess. Not today.

'My superiors are willing to help you, if you work for Starfleet, which
is our Earth organisation. I don't care for the Gallifreyans. We do have
one half-Gallifreyan on board, you have met him, the Doctor. He's a bit
stubborn as you have noticed.' Archer explained the situation to Odo.

(A FEW DAYS LATER)
Ever since this Odo fellow has been on board, with his TARDIS, I feel
a certain familiarity with his space-time-craft. The TARDISes have
a genetic bond with their owners. This TARDIS isn't mine, yet something
is even more weird. I feel like a stranger here. I almost want to go and
check out his TARDIS. Why do I feel this?

Who is this Odo? I keep thinking that there is more. There is more.
Security Chief. Why did I think of that? I'm the First Officer.

'We may run into others of your kind, Odo. If you work for us and stay
with us, we may be able to help you. If you refuse our help, we will
not be able to stop the Gallifreyans from arresting you, you understand.'
Captain Archer explained.

'I am... intrigued by you humans, your culture, especially the terrestrial
one. I accept the offer.'

What got into me, I do not know. I cannot keep from this TARDIS. I must
open it. An electronic key should suffice. Starfleet design of course.
Yes, it has opened. I can enter it.


This must be Odo's Console Room. Very futuristic, I must say. Mine would
be different. What am I saying?

I need the controls.. I need to set the navigation system...  I am setting it, here
goes..  What have I done?

It's dematerialising... But where...? Why did I do this? The TARDIS
isn't mine, so why did I just take it as if it were mine? I belong
here, don't I? Is somebody controlling me, urging me to help him or her?
