Since it's come up many times now and I'm tired of repeating myself, I'm doing a primer. Listen up boys and girls, I'm only going to say this once and if anyone asks again I'll--
[His voice shifts to a low growl.] Kill them.
No, Six, we'll ignore them.
The oft asked question: what am I and what's with the voices?
[He takes out the 3D pen Jedao gave him and starts sketching in the air like a professor writing on a chalk board. He writes out "Time Lord" and below that "Gallifrey." The filaments are delicate, but he programmed the pen to create a material that's mildly psychically active so he can suspend them with his mind like a Sepulchasm game piece.]
I'm a Time Lord of Gallifrey, planetary coordinates 10-0-11-0-0 by 02 from galactic 0 center in the Stellian galaxy. Not human, thankfully. My people regenerate at the point of death. Every atom is renewed into a new body in a massive burst of energy, a new personality emerges, but memories persist. Each regeneration is a new person, same Time Lord.
The voices are a condition I have, called regenerative dissonance. [He writes the words in the air below "Gallifrey."] When I regenerate, the psyches of my past selves remain fully present, instead of sleeping quietly in my mind.
[His voice shifts to a nasal and brisk tone.] It's very rare and there is no treatment or cure.
Quiet, Seven, I'm giving the lecture.
[A shrill voice:] I'm bored!
Shut up, Three. Most dissonants don't survive very long; I'm the most successful one on record. So no one really knows how things go from here.
If you have questions, this is your one and only chance to ask.
[Inmate Filter]
Do your warden-requested possessions always turn to water after a while or am I just special?
[He tried to take apart the personal computer John Doe had requested for him, hoping to repurpose the parts, and to his frustration the whole thing dissolved into liquid.]
[Closed to Malcolm]
[Just because he hates Malcolm doesn't mean he intends to avoid him. Even though he can't murder Malcolm, he still has a perverse desire to seek him out. To prove something although even he's not sure what exactly it is he wants to prove. And so he goes to the counselling offices and seeks Malcolm out there.]
Hello, Bright, people tell me something's wrong with my head. What do you think, in your professional opinion?
[His movements are calm and his tone of voice is mild curiosity, and yet he's still radiating hostility.]
[Open Spam]
[The Eleven isn't terribly sociable but he can be found in the dining hall once a day eating a meal, or in the library shelving media according to his own obscure and seeming irrational classification system, or on the deck looking at the starscape and talking to himself.]

[It's true! He's only asked for stuff because he's wanted to, and so no 'need' is involved.]

How hard is it to sneak things back onto the ship when we make port? I don't fancy mopping the liquid remains of my belongings off the floor all the time.
private
I would not say it is difficult, though you might not find that the port has anything to your liking.

I didnt ask for them, but I was working on rebuilding my anti-grav ray and I couldn't finish it. [Not because of lack of parts, but he literally cant put the last pieces together because every time he does, the forbidden knowledge sort of fades away, leaving it a useless pile of half finished nonsense.]
And the same for the new and improved pathetic nullifier, and this flashbang flashlight... It's terrible.
no subject
[Because that looks like a lot of piles of potentially useful parts. He's curious if all objects will turn to water if he tries to assemble anything out of them or if it's just the particular objects John had requested for him.]

But I also had an idea a-and I was wondering if you think it would help o-or even just be of interest to any of you. Considering.
[ Beat. ]
...I'll explain it but I'm also just fine if you don't want anything to do with me. That's what I'm checking first.

I'm listening. What's your idea?

He looks up at the voice, closing his notebook in the same motion. He gives the question, though clearly meant to be provocative, serious consideration.]
I think it would be mendacious of me to suggest that someone in open disagreement with themselves is completely well, but I saw your announcement and I have to admit I don’t know enough about your species to assess the severity of your symptoms. Though… you, yourself, have described it as a psychological abnormality among your people, so… I guess ‘people’ have a point. [He pauses, then makes a little circular gesture towards the Eleven with his pencil.] Are ‘people’ some of you?
no subject
[His expression abruptly relaxes and an eyebrow is raised as a calm voice says:] Well, to be fair, some of us are. Three is a complete maniac.
I didn't ask for your input, Two.
[Then a posh voice, lips slightly pursed:] And the Six is psychotic.
Or yours, Five.

I like your fancy pen. That business with the ‘never-really-dying’ part is new to me. Is there ever an actual ‘end’ to one of your kind?

Final death usually occurs after thirteen regenerations, although the High Council can grant more if they wish. After final death, the Time Lord's consciousness is usually uploaded into the Matrix where they exist forever. In theory any Time Lord in the Matrix could be resurrected, but the practice has been taboo since the time of Rassilon.

There's a figure in the cables that make up the pseudo-rigging, in Earth clothes. He's away from the light, hard to see. He's got a hood pulled up, a baseball cap under it with the brim pulled low, and a square scarf around most of his face like the kind you can buy at basically any Egyptian clothing store.
It's kind of giving low budget Batman-on-a-rooftop.]
Fuck me, this is such a bad idea. [He says, at a normal volume. Then, loud enough to carry down to the Eleven, he says:] HEY. I want to talk to you about-...
[Where does he even start?]
I don't know. Something it's a bad idea to trust most of you with.
[At the very least, he doesn't sound like Steven. Steven is high and fluttery and anxious London, Marc is deeper, monotone, Chicago.]
Can you give Two the body? If it doesn't work that way then, you know. Whatever.
[Eleven of them. It's like talking to a fucking baseball team. A baseball team that hates everybody. Did he already say this is a bad idea? Cool. Let's hit that one a third time: This is a bad idea.]
no subject
I can.
[And even though he doesn't usually like giving up control, he's curious enough about the situation to make an exception. His demeanour shifts, the near constant air of feral hostility gone, and instead he looks mild, polite, and closed off. And when he speaks his voice is smooth and calm.]
And he did. People don't usually ask to talk to me. I always find that strange since I'm one of the more reasonable ones.

Most of the universe uses the terms interchangeably, but that's because most of the universe only encounters Time Lords. On Gallifrey, Time Lords are the the elite class and only Time Lords are permitted to pilot TARDISes. All Time Lords are Gallifreyans but not all Gallifreyans are Time Lords.
My family isn't traditionally part of the Chronarchy but my school marks earned me a place in one of the Time Lord Academies. I was once considered among the most promising young minds on Gallifrey.

I'm very tempted to give you homework, now. Group assignment, of course.

[The Three interrupts.] Shut up, Four, no one likes you!
[The Eleven's voice returns.] Quiet all of you. No one tells me to shut up except me.
