They say the memories of a Time Lord can remain inside a fob watch…until opened.

Receiving a blue badge for his first successfully completed mission on Flydon Minima. Jonah stood before the Shadow Proclamation with all his comrades as they faced the many races and alien species that made up this admirable organization.
The Shadow Proclamation is a galactic force upholding law in the universe -led by the Shadow Architect. The headquarters sits upon three asteroids, linked together by bridges.
Also receiving a blue badge of achievement was Jonah’s partner and brother -Nick.
The mission on Flydon Minima was a relatively easy achievement, but it was getting to this point, and becoming a respected asset of the Shadow Proclamation took time and training.

Found as children, an Ogron family, on the outer fringes of the Mutter’s Spiral raised both Jonah and Nick. Even though the two boys were human in appearance the family of Ogrons took good care of them, teaching them as they grew up.
When of age, the two boys enlisted in the Shadow Proclamation, along with some of their ape-like Ogron brothers.

Soon, both Jonah and Nick were assigned to their second mission.
An unidentified craft was said to have incinerated a level six planet called Crinoth. The craft landed mysteriously on Polongus. The mission was to investigate, identify, and send for back up. According to how threatening the unidentified object was, the Shadow Proclamation would send out its troops or have them stand by.
Sending out seven ships, including Jonah and Nick for the mission, they headed for Polongus.
After several hours of steady travel, Polongus was in sight. A strange noise could be heard on board the vestal.
“I’m getting a reading of sudden turbulence.” Said the Judoon pilot Rzcepous. Nick checked his readings, “Just a flare up.”
“Systems are fine now.” Said Jonah.
Looking closer at his readings, Rzcepous was still taking note of the sudden abnormality.
“Where is Deirok? He was supposed to be back after checking manifold nine,” he said, still looking fixed at the screen.
“Deirok, report on manifold nine status.” Said Jonah into the communication box.
“Deirok, please report…are you there?”
“That flare up must have stunned the communication boxes.” Said Nick. “I’ll go down and check it out.”
At that moment the doors opened. A woman with a sonic blaster on her hip showed herself.
“Identify!” Yelled Rzcepous.
“I don’t need to.” She said.
“We will assume any unidentified personal as criminal.” His tone was even louder.
“Then kill me, but I know the only way to destroy this menace you’re after.”
“How did you get in?” Asked Nick.
“Not important, you need to listen. You and all these ships are in great danger.
You need to stay away from Polongus.”
“We can’t, we have orders.” Said Jonah.
“First of all, we need to get your communications back online.” Said the intruder
“How did you know they were down?” Asked Nick.
“Because there is a very evolved Nestene, made of pure psychic energy, blocking all communications onboard.”
“Nestene, where?” Asked Rzcepous.
The woman pointed outside, where the giant blob-like organism revealed itself floating, suspended in space. It was bright like fire, and moved as if breathing.
“Crinoth was not incinerated, it was eaten.” Said Nick.
“You got it!” Said the woman as she made her way to the communication box. Opening it up she pointed her blaster at it.
“Wait! Don’t shoot it!” said Jonah.
“I’m not, it’s sonic technology.” She said as a sonic ray came out of the gun, closing the communication box she looked around and smugly announced, “Fixed.”
“You probably caused this.” Said Jonah.
“It’s still listening to everything we’re saying.” She spoke with a one-track mind. The ship was quiet. Facing the window the mysterious woman called out to the Nestene.
“You are lost, stop this and let me help you, I can take you back home. You need to stop eating these planets.”
“It can’t hear you!” Said Nick.
“Wait for his reply.” She said.
The ship was quiet again. The silence was broken when a large fire like arm extended from the Nestene. It stretched through space so elegantly. It wrapped around one of the three ships.
“What is it doing?” Asked Rzcepous.
At that moment the ship burst into flames, and in a second it was gone.
“Not the reply I expected. Tell them to fire.” Said the woman.
“Fire!” Yelled Rzcepous.
There was a reply on the intercom, “yes sir!”
All at once, the two ships fired an unexpected amplified molecular energy ray.
“Sir, we are firing some kind of strange blast.” Said a voice on the intercom as the lasers dissolved the floating Nestene.
“That’s why you need me,” said the woman, “I came aboard your ships, undetected, and modified your lasers.”
“With sonic technology?” exclaimed Nick.
“You needed something a little more powerful, than what you had, to kill a Nestene.”
The blob-like creature vanished, never to be seen again.
“Who are you?” Asked Jonah.
“I’m The Protector,” she said with a serious face, “and I’m a Time Lord.”

“You’re a what? Sorry I thought you said you were a Time Lord?” Nick said sarcastically.  “I am a Time Lord. You could say I am from your past life.” exclaimed The Protector.
“Yeah right, and I’m a big blue bunny, your most likely human like us,” Nick said.
“No I really, am a Time Lord – full and pure!” The Protector insisted, this time with a pinch of irritation.  

It was unlikely that this girl was a Time Lord since that incredible species was thought to be extinct. The Time Lord planet of Gallifrey had been destroyed in the great Time war against the Daleks.  

“Find this girl’s ship.” Nick said, echoing the same irritation.
“Ok Nick.” Jonah replied as he walked over to a security-cam archive.
“You’re not going to find my ship.” The Protector said with a smug grin.
“You got on while we were docked didn’t you? Nick asked.
Interrupting Jonah said, “Nick you should look at this. You should see this footage; it’s of her coming out of a capsule.”  
“Ok were going to settle this once and for all.” Said Nick, “we’ll take her to The Shadow Proclamation and let the council decide on her fait.  
“Ok,” said Jonah as he continued, “set coordinates to home base,”
“Yes sir.” Rzcepous replied.
“Were set Nick,” Jonah said.
“Thanks,” Nick said in reply, “and in the mean time we’ve got our eyes on you.” He spoke suspiciously.  
Walking out of the control room, they followed The Protector everywhere she went. She glanced behind her each time looking at the right side of their chests. They started to wonder if she was telling the truth about being a Time Lord. If she was telling the truth then The Shadow Proclamation had been lying to them for a very long time. Then just a sudden change in her pattern, something very insignificant, but when she turned to look at the right side of their chests her eye’s traveled up towards their necks as if to be looking at a necklace. It all seemed deeply strange to the two brothers. However, their whole life had been a strange existence. Nick and Jonah had been found in the darkest part of a planet, with only one mysterious token from the past –a fob watch.
   
Soon they reached her quarters that were set up for her and as soon as they left her room Nick spoke up. “Don’t think I’m crazy, but did you hear anything unusual?”
In a nervous tone, Jonah told Nick, “I heard a voice… as if someone was telling me to reach for this watch that hangs from my neck.”
Nick reached down his shirt and pulled out his silver fob watch. Looking at it he asked Jonah, “how do you suppose we both ended up with one of these watches?”
“I think it was given to us by our parents, perhaps something to remember them by.”
Everything was such a cloudy memory to the brothers. Even the watch that they held in their hands seemed invisible at times. Never thinking to open it, it stayed hidden yet… close to their hearts.

The next morning The Protector was asked to join Rzcepous for breakfast. Jonah and Nick didn’t believe that The Protector was a Time Lord. Nick leaned up against the door to the lunchroom and said, “I’m going to repeat what they say ok?”
Jonah replied with a nod and Nick started to repeat Rzcepous words saying. “Why didn’t I shoot you?”
Then Jonah closed in to here the rest of the conversation himself.
The words continued from The Protector saying. “You didn’t shoot me because you know who I am. The one and only one who can save you! Aside from the oncoming storm that is.”
Rzcepous then asked, “How did you find us we are protected by a perception generator?”
“I may have not noticed you but you’re very hard to miss when it comes to my TARDIS.” Said The Protector.
Rzcepous then spoke up saying. “Ah, so you do have a vestal.”
The Protector replied “more or less a sister.”
“How could you get on the ship undetected?” The pilot asked.
“And you’d think I’d tell you.” The Protector shot back.
“I must return to my room.” She spoke up to tell Nick and Jonah that she knew they were listening.

 As the spacecraft traveled back to home base, a chill could be felt down the spine of everyone aboard. The ship had been quiet for quite some time, until a resonating scream of a crewmate echoed through the metallic halls. Rzcepous grabbed the intercom microphone in a panic in search for an explanation.
“Report!” Yelled the Judoon pilot, hoping for a response.
“This is Tarous Tecus in engineering, sir! I’m under attack! It’s Deirok…he’s gone mad!” His frantic voice was amplified over the intercom as static overtook the speakers.
Rzcepous clenched the microphone as he lost Tarous. With a blaster in hand the pilot made another attempt to call into the intercom.
“Manifold nine…report!” The sound of static hung in the
