The Never Ending Quest - Episode 15705

"I asked you a question," the elven woman reminds her.

The Astra on Rifts Earth just glares back defiantly, refusing to answer.

"Easy or hard, it makes no difference to us, missy." the elven woman warns....

More silence.....

Rugen almost gives the nod for Angela, one of Morgana's (the formerly hooded elfin woman's) more aggressive daughters to lay into this.....humaniod creature with the modified neural mace (with setting for both targets of human endurance and another for superhuman targets) to knock her out when Astra gives off a happy shout of joy when her eyes fall upon the title of the small paperback book that Rugen has in his hands. It is a small book by Christopher H. Bidmead with a picture of a bearded fellow in black with some type of radio telescope in the background and it's title is: Doctor Who - Logopolis.

"You're a Whovian also?!" Astra almost gushes, tense situation forgotten for a moment.

Rugen and the others pause, surprised.

"He's one of my more favorite Scifi characters," Rugen says cautiously, "Perhaps.....if we could start again a bit more.......er......friendly manner? You must admit, sneaking up on somebody like you tried doesn't exactly a sign of openness."

"And greeting me with arms was?" Astra mutters.....then tells her tale......

And for a momment, unpleasentries are put aside....

She tells of her capture by the dragon of the Northern Caverns and being rescued by "her" Sir Fred and Velus. She tells of how she and the others killed the dragon and then began to discuss other things. Things of all things like who would marry here! A bit put off by that and needing to explain what must be done to win her hand in marriage, she explained her love of the Doctor......

"Doctor Who?" Fred asked.

"That's exactly my point. You see, I am a Doctor Who fan." She revealed a button on her armor that said "Paul McGann Estrogen Brigade." "And," Astra continued, "I had sworn since I was young that I would love only another Doctor Who fan. So I fell in love with Sir JH. He is my first husband, and the first in my heart. But he is trapped in the cave of the Witch of the White House. If you are to marry me, you must free him."

Fred and Velus....are suddenly blinded by a bright flash of light, as well as Astra. An arcane word is then shouted....and all black out. Velus awakes later, alone. Fred and Astra awaken in a pyramid that is red in color....

She finishes up by telling of what had happened in the Red Pyramid......the battle to get out....and finally how she arrived here.....

  1. "Though....I must say I fear I am under some type of curse," Astra finally finishes up, looking down at herself.....
