And so he set about carrying out his destiny. The being who had recruited
him had increased his intelligence and strength and given him magical and
scientific knowledge. So he set about repairing the woman/TARDIS. She
turned out to be named Compassion, and had once belonged to an analog of the
rogue Time Lord known as the Doctor. He had ages ago gotten ahold of the
Crystallic in his world and built it into his TARDIS, allowing him to travel
to alternate worlds. He had spent some time in an alternate world that
mirrored the Arthurian legends of his world, and played the role of Merlin.
He had also analyzed the Crystallic, and attempted to create another one

And so for centuries Compassion stood and waited. A small civilization grew up around her, worshipping the pyramid. It died out, leaving a network of rope bridges around the pyramid and a few ruins. And Silverhand waited. And now, the wait was over. The time had come to strike. The Jade Pagoda was making its way back to Compassion, and then he would explain to the heroes what was going on. Suddenly, he felt a queasy feeling in what would be the pit of his stomach if he had one anymore. On the viewscreen he had installed, information was being transmmitted. It was from the book. He was puzzled to find that it was a set of dirty limericks. Then, more information flashed on the screen, information from the book's diagnostic system, which recorded when the book went wrong and why. He read it, and saw that
