"I have, but not your universe, clearly," the Doctor answers. It is already very easily to see the barely contained excitement bubbling inside of Daniel. He wouldn't mind being inside his head right now, because an archaeologist and anthropologist being confronted with the idea of time travel is always going to lead to a lot of interesting thoughts. The Doctor smiles, wondering if he's going to get any more useful information out of Daniel without first having to probably answer a few hours worth of questions about anything and everything.
"See, humans don't have intergalactic travel in 2005 in my universe. Or most of the universes I've been to so far. My universe is actually pretty close to this one, at least when it comes to the Earth. Right down to the government covering up secret Rifts in space and time that bring people and creatures and objects in from all over the galaxy. Ours usually don't go from universe to universe though, that's a bit trickier," the Doctor starts rambling, because Daniel doesn't seem to be able to use words at the moment. Might as well drown him in information instead, right? At this point his hands are no longer held behind his back, now gesturing enthusiastically.
"There are plenty of ways, however, like traveling through a charged vacuum emboitment. And then of course there are pocket universes, those are usually a bit easier to access, but harder to get out of. The most recent other universe I was in a pocket universe called the Divergent universe, which didn't even have a concept of time, no web of Time, making it impossible for me to travel in Time there at all. You did have a certain amount of cause and effect, of course, one moment following another, but it was a cycle. Destruction and recreation, over and over, following the same patterns, but developing a little differently each time. You see, someone had installed a mobius loop, so once every twenty to thirty millenia, all life got destroyed, and and then rebooted the universe in its original form. Very interesting, of course, but what a headache."
This tag is basically just me trying (and succeeding!) to hit the NaNo wordcount

He's gone off topic.
