Emiranlanoamar:

Type-100s and above are humanoid TARDISes. Their Matrix can fully interact with their crew and pilots. Outwardly, they resemble humanoids. The first Type-100 or something was actually one of the Doctor's companions: she was implanted with TARDIS tech and it sort of... grew. Took over her, mutated her, turned her into a half-human, half TARDIS monstrosity. The Time Lords managed to negotiate a... breeding agreement with her and thus the first humanoid TARDISes were born.

Intelligent, cunning, and extremely creepy. 0/10, would not drive again.

Gaspard:

I'm compensating for my tiny and inadequate self-esteem.

Serious answer: a MA5B doesn't shoot 8mm uranium spikes at hypersonic speeds. Plus, I'm a Spy, not an action agent: if I need to defend myself, I'm going to set up an ambush where the odds are stacked in my favour. Otherwise, I keep moving.

I might need to swing by the armoury and pick up... er... a MA5D. Newer model, more bullets, and it even comes with custom finishes too. I just need to figure out where the iron sights are on that thing. The lore says they're hidden but... where? Under the casing? Is there a cover I need to pop off from the weapon computer cowl? Must be it, right...?

I need an MA5D now. For science. And dakka.

In practice, it's a bit different. See, with the proper training, any person can fly a TARDIS well enough to get from Point A to Point B, but here's something not a lot of people realize about them: they're linked symbiotically to their Time Lord pilots thanks to the funky makeup of the nuclei of our cells, and the TARDIS' briode nebulizers and Rassilon Imprimature. Unless you're a Time Lord, you can't fly a TARDIS properly, and even then pilots tend to stick to one specific TARDIS because they get the best performance with the TARDIS they're linked to. I've had to fly the Doctor's TARDIS a few times on missions and she never responds to me as well as my own does, and that's why.

((The above was extrapolated from a combination of information from The Two Doctors episode and deductive reasoning.))

What if—and this is just an idea, mind—we let people fly them? I mean, this is HQ we're talking about. Probably the only places that surpass it in terms of people who would want to fly a TARDIS are World One and Gallifrey itself. With an entire Continuity Council of Time Lords running around, plus any agents who learned to fly them during the Macrovirus epidemic, there's bound to be a few agents around willing to act as instructors. Some of them might do it just to get a break from missions. There'd certainly be no shortage of students for them to teach, and we might even get a few agents who decide they want to keep theirs.

Okay, it might be a bit mad to leave a TARDIS in the hands of questionably sane individuals, but considering we already trust them with the disguise generator, the RA, and a multiversal armory...

Now I think about it, does Doctor Who have its own OFU yet? If so, loan a few to them. Show those fanbrats how hard it really is to fly the things. With the right security measures it should no more dangerous than giving students muggle-use wands. Heck, you could even go further with it, give TARDISes to a bunch of OFUs. Need a guaranteed safe haven in case of Mary Sue invasion? Boom, TARDIS.

...I can't actually think of any other uses an OFU would have for a TARDIS, but I'm sure there are at least a few more.

I don't know how many TARDISes we have in HQ, and we probably couldn't save all of them, but at least this way a few of them would get the use they deserve.

Do correct me if any of this is laughably infeasible. I am no more a Time Lord than I am an unfortunate cabbage salesman.

... you have two accounts. Desdendelle is #38, but desdendelle is #19.

If you edit your name on posting, you'll see that it highlights your currently logged-in account's posts, whatever name they use. So Morgan and Lucy are highlighted for me, for instance.

It was quite a large tree, and don't get me started on the crosswinds. Eventually I made it to a branch from which I could use my active ability to create an aquatic pathway from said branch to Matthew. So I hollowed out the inside of the tree and made it to Matthew before he could fall to his death.

It was interesting to say the least

Can this be made non-case sensitive? Right now it's only catching some of my posts.

Though it seems like both of those are slightly strange options for a disguise. Isn't the whole point of the chameleon circuit to avoid drawing attention? A giant jack-in-the-box and a car famous for time travel aren't exactly inconspicuous. Then again, a TARDIS probably knows its job better than I do.

Not sure how feasible that meme would be. I mean, there can't be that many time travelers in HQ, right?

I suppose I shouldn't have assumed you'd have one just because you're a Time Lord. Though I mostly posed the question to you because you seem to be the most experienced of HQ's Time Lords. Very enlightening nonetheless. Thanks.

Also, humanoid TARDIS? Did I miss something? When was that a thing? I'm confused.

Gaspard, I have to admit I'm curious why you picked the C-14. Seems a bit overkill to use a rifle that in its standard variant requires the use of a combat exoskeleton. Wouldn't something like, say, the MA5B work just as well?

I was also talking about the MCU. dodges supression fire Eh, it's not our fault if Personnel didn't release a fiche about you stating your homeverse. Without that, we have to play guess about your verse and, well, the MCU is the one with the most attention for the moment, so it leads to that.

P.S.: Super Registration Act is a thing, but the dude supervising that is 'Thundrbolt' Ross, a guy who gives no duck about risks for civilians, is totally irresponsible when it comes to Hulk, who wanted a whole army like him, created the Abomination... Is that really the guy you would trust for the job? Or the government who pretty much gifted HYDRA with three Helicarriers or was ready to nuke Manhattan before complaining about how much damage the Avengers can cause?

I've never smelled an appendix before—at least, if I have, I wouldn't know it. I just smell the blood because that's what I eat. If I was an appendix vampire, though, I could probably tell you!

My marks weren't perfect, but they were good enough to land me a spot in Auror training before I came here.

And as fun as that sounds, I'd have to pass on the Indoor Quidditch thing. I've got a bad knee so I'd just be a hindrance to my teammates.

((I think she kind of NOPEd out when she heard he used to be a Healer. She has trust issues with them, hence the short response.))

Terabyte:

I am a single geth unit, upgraded with Reaper code and further enhanced by Commander Wilson Shepard's synthesis with the Crucible. My initial upgrades have permitted me to become a true intelligence and thus utilize a combat platform without the need to network with other geth. The second upgrade has enhanced my sentience, allowing me to fully understand what it means to be an organic.

Emiranlanoamar:

Naya and Terabyte know and so do Arin and Xandria. Out of all of them, Naya took it the hardest, actually. She clung to me for several hours after I had talked to her about it, asking me to resign from the PPC and go back home where I'd be safer. I never thought she'd have this reaction to me— she's always so standoffish.

Tacitus:

I need to be hated. When interacting with a client, I retain a professional attitude; one needs to maintain Madam's good reputation after all. However, any and all who attempt to get too friendly will be dealt with accordingly. Trust only leads to betrayal: it's a slow and insidious process. Nobody came for me back when I needed it the most— why should this time be any different? Why now? Time has taught me that my only worth is as an information broker and an insufferable presence. I know my place and I act like it.

But then I realized that I could be useful. People hate me, avoid me by nature. When I enter a room, they all turn away, form groups, and talk amongst themselves, making sure that I don't get a chance to insert myself in the conversation. They spread rumours about me and slander my name, furthering my isolation. When I sell some highly personal information on someone, they all rush to the "victim" and send them their support and sympathy. And that is good. You see, when I'm around, they band together and cooperate. They are together. I did this. Through my actions, they can have something which I will never know: friendship. Support. Maybe even companionship.

Everyone loves to hate and fight a villain. I just so happen to play the part perfectly.

And I hate every single moment of this [CENSORED] existence.

Then likewise, it's nice to meet a fellow housemate. And I'm glad that you spared from apparently worse parts of your home badfic. My partner came from a pretty horrible ''Digimon'' one and she had live through most of it before agents in charge could properly deal with the fic and rescue her.

Did you get to finish Hogwarts before ended up here? For my part, I already had and had begun training to be a healer, as was traditional in family , apparently, before my fic got deleted and I ended up here through a plothole.

Well, from what I remember, playing was quite a fun experience. My teammates were probably not fleshed out all that much, so I can't comment on what it was playing in the team. What I can say is that it did payoff pretty later on. The strenght that is needed to batter up those Bludgers comes quite in handy for physically attacking Warior Sues, for examples.

And well, it is somewhat rare to actually get to play Quidditch around here, though I try to do it as much possible.But have ever try to play in the All-HQ Australian Indoor-Rules Quiddich League? Granted, that game is not quite actual Quidditch and may more suited for Beaters anyway, but it is a pretty good substitute and a fine game on its own.

I have been out from home a long time and as such, I'm unfamiliar with the events following the fallout of the clash between the Avengers and the X-Men, I know there were another Secret Wars, and Thor has been somehow forced in a female body, but until I know more, I'll refrain judgement in the matter.

Now regarding my file from Personnel, it's quite likely, that because of some incosistencies from my homefic, there have been some... issues, getting my documents in order, not to mention the nature itself of my own home universe and its quite... irregular timeline fluctuations.

Agent Chris, I think you might be mistaken, I'm not from Earth-199999, which is the designation of the Cinematic Universe by the way, but from Earth-616, the main Marvel Universe; and as such, my knowledge of that universe is severily limited. Also, I also would be most grateful if people stopped confusing both universes.

And Mr. Correa, regarding my stance on the Superhuman Civil War, SH.I.E.L.D. as a law enforcement agency, had to be sided with Mr. Stark and the Superhuman Registration Act, thus... Wait. You meant Earth-19999 too!? Would you people stop doing that!? Please, is annoying!

I mean, I love me some stone-baked pizza, but you put that in a closed box?
I can't smell that!

Can you smell other things inside people?
What does the appendix smell like? I'm very curious.

Do the expansion packs for WoW ever play havoc with the timeline or is the Bronze Dragonflight too good to let that happen?

To Terabyte: How many programs are exactly forming you? I know for instance than Legion had 1183, but their chassis also was somewhat unique.

Last for the Guardsman: Do you intend to speak to your partners, and your other friends, about your little secret? I think they would prefer discover it that way rather than... You understand me.

Tacitus: Did you ever tried to be more sympathetic? If only for the sake of your job. People tell more to people they like.

First of all, and I feel it's kinda obligatory to ask, if you could be any Pokémon other than an awesome Qwilfish like yourself, which Pokémon would you want to be?

Also, you and Gabrielle want to come over to my RC sometime for Poffins? I haven't seen you guys in ages!

((Otherwise I'd be really annoyed by this constantly trying to get the Notary and Lola to meet up before the time is right. As is, I'm just kind of bored by it. So, y'know, if people could refrain from it? I would really appreciate it. Thanks for your cooperation.))

"Don't speak that name in front of me, you maggot. How dare you say that name to me? How DARE you?"
