'Wholly telepathic' does imply, then, that she had a complete awareness of him once he entered as well, but of course. She would be aware of anything interacting with her systems, for she was the source of the rather frustrating twenty-minute exercises of a self-contained self-consistency paradox in the nested conditional. But the TARDIS embraces certain forms of nature, certain defiances of physics, she is not those forces incarnate - time and consistency and entropy are unforgiving and she is, mercifully, the opposite.

Rush smiles, more complete and earnest, encouraged by the TARDIS's welcome wish for conversation.

"In my native brane, I worked for a government program with access to a network of intragalactic wormholes." Ridged with the faint layer of disgust; Rush has little to say, in general, to government programs and their institutional pyramids of bureaucratic self-righteous corruption. It was an association of convenience, and because of the beautiful nine-chevron cypher that they needed someone to open to them, someone who would throw themselves without regard for mental well-being at the problem repeatedly until it yielded. "Our understanding of space and time and spacetime was less than complete - all we knew was what we traveled through the stars to assemble a basic understanding of, and even then our resources were limited and our comprehension - flawed." A small frown burrows behind dream-constructed square frames, the smile slipping. "We were only human."
