Doctor Who The Mechanic

A/N: I know this chapter is an information dump but it's important for those worried that the system will dictate stuff do not worry it's only purpose is to deploy skills, stats and abilities nothing more.anyway hope you enjoy.

Rose and Mickie look at what was once Nick now Mechanic before they could speak the Doctor spoke first" good to see another Time Lord survived" just after finishing speaking he realises something" where are my manners I am the Doctor" the Mechanic looks at the Doctor looking at him with realization before speaking" if I am not wrong your the one the Time Lord council call a Madman" the doctor just looks sheepishly at that.

Mechanic's Pov.

After telling them my name or rather the name my Time Lord self had chosen, I begin going through my mind to see what memories to see where I stand as I do a screen appears in my vision,before I could look into it the doctor spoke excitement in his voice after his introduction I remember the 50th anniversary where the doctor saved Gallifrey the Time lord general call him a madman.

Since I was not personally close to the doctor on Gallifrey from the memories I had I thought I should make a reference to it since I wanted to see his reaction although he has no memory of saving his home instead thinks he destroyed it, which I thought was a pointless thing when I watched the episode, but now as a Time Lord I understood why it was the case he would not try at save it if he thought it was already safe.

So the whole thing was as the doctor said about his own death at the hands of River, it's a fixed point and can't be changed or time will go wrong just like it did when River Song tried to change it.

I am no way going to fuck with that I can change minor things but fixed points, acording to what knowledge my Time Lord brain has it would take the entire Time Lord council and more to be even able to attempt that safely.

As for how it's simple really similar to alchemy sometimes or someone as big and important as the thing you want to exchange for has to sacrificed that's the easiest route, however it still requires the regeneration energy from alot of time lords to do that's why it's impossible for either himself or the doctor to do.

As I was in my thoughts rose finally spoke" are you still Nick" I come out of my thoughts and look at her " it's complicated Nick was just something created to help blend in with humanity but his personality was based of my own or rather this version of me" my words give off an ominous feeling.

Before rose could ask further the Doctor buts in " she's not ready for that yet best not mention it yet speak with are you" I nod since I can understand that it's difficult to understand that someone can change their face to avoid death, so I look at the doctor before speaking again" I am the original not happened yet although it's mostly due to me being as my chosen name suggests a mechanic".

The Doctor looks as if he realises something" does that mean you have that" I look at him as if to think as the panel I had ßeen earlier and had yet to look over appears again this time displaying something.

Mechanical Force

Lvl Max.

Allows one to send there Mechanical Force to check a machines condition or the condition for certain components.

All intelligent Machines have a high favourable Opinion of the user.

Limitation depends on user and Thier creativity

Note this skill will always be at max level but can be improved by user.

After I finish reading this I look at the Doctor " you mean mechanical Force than yea I can use it" he just looks at me in awe before speaking " no wonder they kept you out of the battles and had you working on TARDIS repairs and creation" I did not mention this but he was not wrong according to my memory from my Time Lord self that's what he did.

Looking at the Doctor then to Rose, the Doctor seems to realise something and the same conversation from the original episode starts, I just watch as he asks her to join us, I did not say anything to that since I knew I was going to go with him in the TARDIS, so I just ignore his blatant assumptions and let him continue.

After a bit of talking and the Doctor telling her I can travel in time as well as space she agrees giving Mickie a kiss than runs to enter the TARDIS before entering I through my apartment key to Mickie " use my apartment I won't need it anymore beter than your one also there no need to worry about the rent its connected to a bank account, Nick had bought some shares in a company dividends goes in to the account will cover the rent for the foreseeable future, see you around Mickie" after saying that I walk into the TARDIS closing the door behind me.

As I do I feel the TARDIS around me, giving me the feeling as if it's excitement of having someone who can actually take care of her body properly, I could have sent my mechanical Force out to have an actual conversation, but I thought it's best to let myself settle in before I do that I still needed to make sure that my ability was available, since having my Assimilate ability will make somethings easier.

With that in mind I ask the doctor where the bedrooms are since each TARDIS always changed it's layout to suit it's Captain, in this case the Doctor although TARDIS were designed to have more crew this one seems to have developed more than a TARDIS normally would be allowed, since it was basically able to aid the Doctor by taking him where he needed to be.

After the Doctor gave me directions I went on my way, luckily it did not take long for me to find it as it seemed as if the TARDIS was helping me find my way, as I enter my room I see a large double bed that I was happy to see since it's more space.

After getting comfortable I thought about my system and as I expected a blue panel appears in my vision.

System: status

Name: The Mechanic

True Name: (Hidden)

Age:300

Incarnation: 1

Stats:

Strength: 50 (measuring intimidation, physical power and carrying capacity).

Constitution: 100 (measuring endurance, stamina and healthiness).

Dexterity: 40 (measuring agility, balance, coordination and reflexes).

Intelligence: 500 (measuring deductive reasoning, critical thinking, cognition, knowledge, memory, logic and rationality).

Wisdom: 450 (measuring intuition, self-awareness, common sense, restraint, perception and insight).

Charisma: 300 (measuring force of personality, persuasiveness, leadership and successful planning).

(Note Humans have a max of 20 for each stat)

(Peak Time Lord stats are 800 for each)

( Note Time Lord do not use Strength often causing the strength stat of ordinary Time Lords to be at best just more than double that of human limit, this means that they most of the time look like ordinary humans who do not exercise much, only military personnel would even have strength that effects their appearance but at best it never goes over 300, since Time Lords were content just to observe the universe).

I was glad that the system had made my true name Hidden, since I was sure that despite the fact I knew that I had yet to adapt completely to my new race and seeing the name would only cause me confusion, with my stats display I was surprised at some of the stats, I knew that time lords were smarter than humans but dam, I had no idea that they are that smart, it made me think just how small those I once called genius really are.

What was even more suprising was the fact that Time Lords had a ridiculous stat cap yet from what the system said and what my stats show me is that it's rare for a Time Lord to actually hit that cap, it's that point I realised that I never asked if my stats could increase there was no level or exp, so I would not get stat points I can only guess it had to be done the old fashioned way by actually doing activities related to each stat.

Well I was not expecting to be more than 300 years old but strange to look so young actually how long did it take Mat Smiths doctor to age during the battle of Trenzalore, with that thought I begin to go through my memories before I got the answer nine hundred years that means so long as I don't get killed I would not need to regenerate till I was at least nine hundred years old, although my Time Lord mind told me I could actually regenerate before than once my body had hit the point it was a struggle to move, the doctor had not had this option since he was on his last life, untill the time lords stepped in.

With that thought over I thought I should check my abilities and skills, just as that thought appeared in my mind the blue screen changes displaying new information.

Seeing these I knew of it shows abilities then it must be possible to acquire more, as for skills getting more is easy thanks to assimilate, unfortunately i could not look at what the later lavel of assimilate would do but at least I knew what skills i have, also I can guess that the time Vision might be what was killing Donna noble.

With all that sorted I decide I should probably get some sleep if I remember right the doctor took Rose to the end of the world after this, so i should get some sleep otherwise dealing with a station that's a literally a death trap would be exhausting, it was also the fact i could feel that the regeneration energy that changed me back into a Time Lord has not completely dissipated.

With that I lay down on my new bed and as I expect my eyes start to close before I drift off to sleep.
