Introduction & If You Could Live Anywhere

Well then! It would seem that the TARDIS has landed me in a bit of a paradox since I've already encountered one of my former selves in this particular time and space. Completely against the Rules, of course – not that it's ever stopped me – or rather, us -- from transgressing our own timeline when the need arises. Those stuffed collars in the Capitol would have you believe I do it willy nilly. What the High Council seems to forget to mention when pointing fingers is that said transgressions are usually on their behalf – or their instigation. I can only wonder what they're up to now. A perfidious species, Time Lords.

As to Who I am, I'm afraid I've been called a great many things – some of them not very flattering. In spite of what you might have heard, I am not an "Intergalactic Busybody." The very idea! I am, quite simply, a traveler. An adventurer, if you will, who's only agenda is to see the universe and, if the occasion arises, do a bit of good here and there. At the moment I share my travels with Miss Evelyn Smythe, a very respectable, personable (if headstrong) woman I met during one of my visits to Earth. I think you'd like Evelyn. Now I wonder where she's got off to?

As to the question at hand - if I could live anywhere, where would it be and why? I could throw out the names of any number of beautiful, restful planets and be perfectly content living on any one of them for a time. But not for very long, I'm afraid. The urge to travel is just too strong. It's in the blood, you see. The wanderlust. No, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be happy living in any one place. Unless, of course, that place happened to be my ship, the TARDIS. All I ask is stout Type 40 and a star to steer her by! (My apologies to John Masefield.)

Hmm? What's that you say? Oh, yes! Sorry. Got a bit ahead of myself, didn't I? I would pleased if you would simply call me The Doctor.

I am indeed a time traveler. I am known as the Doctor. *beams* And who, may I ask, do I have the pleasure of addressing?

Oh, I'm sorry for being so rude--and so delayed in answering back. I'm Honor Harrington. I'm a space traveler; more properly, admiral in a space navy. I don't do the time thing, or at least I didn't before I signed up for this journal (well, I stay here but my posts all have the wrong time in them...still is puzzling me.)

It's a pleasure to meet you, Honor. And Admiral? Well now. Have you a fleet somewhere about?

I'm quite delighted to meet you as well.

I don't have a fleet, yet. There has been a recent reorganization and I will be taking up command once more; I most recently was on a temporary command and before that was teaching at our naval academy for about five years. I find that I miss space, honestly.

Ahhh, yes. I know what you mean. Space can be so tranquil, especially if you're just out for a bit of a recce. If I might be so bold, what subjects did you teach at your naval academy?
