Aside from Donna and Brainiac 5 bickering across him, the Doctor had enjoyed last night. It had been... relaxing. Maybe he hadn't found the TARDIS again, and maybe Donna would say he hadn't gotten anything done, but he and Brainiac 5 sharing the technology they'd gotten the previous night had been more than worth it. Of all the people he'd met here, Brainiac 5 was the only one who had shown both that he had a working knowledge of more sophisticated technologies and that he understood them.

In some respects, showing Brainiac 5 the sonic screwdriver had been a test.... One that the Coluan boy had passed.

Morning itself had been unwelcome, but he was in a good mood when he followed his nurse into the cafeteria. He helped himself to a few pieces of toast with a side of sausage, and then took a seat nearby.

[For Mr. H!]
