The following is a direct transcript of the audio recording of the interview with the Detective.



1. Ahh yes! Welcome to the interview! Please introduce yourself: name, species, continuum of origin?


Detective: Hi-- right, you and I need to talk. I’ve been gone a while, taking care of a few things. What are the current HQ relative spatiotemporal coordinates?


Interviewer: . . . Ahh yes! Welcome to the interview! Please introduce yourself: name, spe--

D: *sigh* Yeah, right, I forgot. Monitor interview bots, you were never very bright. Should mean I’m at the right timezone, though.


I: . . . Actually, my name is Thomas, and I have a wife and two--

D: My condolences to all three, Thomas. Right, best get started. My name is the Detective. I’m a Time Lord from the Whoniverse.



2. So, what department are you in, and who is your partner?

D: Security. Wait! No, Floaters. Pretty sure I was in Floaters at the moment. Should be in Security soon, though, if you want to start adjusting the employee forms. Save you some time.


3. Let’s start with the basic questions. How old are you?

D: Seven. Probably a bit above, not sure how much.



4. Height and weight?

D: Tall. And skinny. That’s in metric.


5. Sexual orientation?

D: If you’re worried about orienting yourself then you’re not doing it right. Get into it! Literally. Why would you even care where north was? Ridiculous.



6. IQ?

D: I’d say “higher than yours” but given your position of employment that’s not exactly a high bar.


7. Bra size? / Boxers or briefs?

D: Umm. . . I was a 30F when I met me, if I recall, and I like boxers. They punch good.


8. Let’s cut the boring questions. Firstly, how many weapons are currently on your person?

D: Enough. Also a sonic screwdriver-- what? Nah, ‘s not a weapon. Who told you that? Ridiculous.


9. Are you wanted for any crimes?

D: Yes, actually, I come very highly recommended, but usually they can’t afford my services. Er, plus ethics. Deeefinitely ethics. *nodding sagely* Ethics.


10. And the age-old ‘Are you a virgin?’
D: *loud cackling* No.

11. Do you ever fantasize about same-sex relations?

D: Yeeees? Duh. Weird question, honestly. *shaking head* You humans, you’re obsessed.


12. Lovely. So, what is your favorite curse word?

D: Paleomisanthropicarchaeotriskaidekaphobia. Get you banned on seven systems, that word. So much fun to say, though.


13. When was the last time you threw up?

D: When I saw your face! . . . Yeah, you're right, that was a bit rude. Apologies.


14. Have any mental illnesses?

D: Well, I’m still answering your questions, so that ought to tell you something.


15. What is your biggest phobia?

D: This interview continuing!


16. Do you crossdress often?

D: What's crossdressing again? I wear what I like, honestly.


17. Have any addictions?

D: Yes. Next question?


18. What is the closest you have ever been to dying? Or have you ever died?

D: You do realize you just asked a Time Lord that question, yeah?


19. Have the FicPsych nurses ever taken you away?

D: *swallows* Um, yeah, actually. It was. . . not my best day.


20. Are the FicPsych nurses after you?

D: If they are right now it’s for something I don’t know I’ve done yet.


21. Do you snore?

D: Yeah, according to Ave. Don’t see how that’s relevant, though.


22. Are you drooling right now?

D: . . . Yes, definitely. Aaaall over the floor-- gonna need a mop by the time we’re done. *rolls eyes*


23. Let’s say that HQ was about to explode, and you could save one other person in here. Who would you choose?

D: Probably the person whose death unfixed time so I could save everyone. I’m not picking.


24. When was the last time you used the toilet?

D: For what? Fantastic battering rams, toilets.


25. Have you ever kissed a girl? / a boy? / another species??

D: Well, duh. When I said I was “probably a bit above seven” I may have been very slightly underselling it. Yes, and to all three.


26. Did you like it?

D: Usually.


27. The little voices in your head. Do you talk to them?

D: Well, technically, those little voices are me already, so yeah, ‘course I do.


28. Were you made fun of in school? Why?

D: Horribly. ‘Cause I took your mom to the prom. And I’m a time traveller! That might even be true. *waggles eyebrows*


29. I can’t think of a question to ask you. Have any comments?

D: Yeah, actually, I do, and that’s me wondering why on Rassilon’s orange Gallifrey is number 29 on your list legitimately “I can’t think of a question to ask you. Have you any comments?” Dear Rassilon, something is legitimately wrong with you.


30. This interview has ended? Are you gleeful? Or would you like to complete our 100 question survey over thumbtacks?

D: Firstly, of course the interview has ended-- how is that even a question? You have a whole numbered list to look at and everything. Secondly, look at my face. Do I look gleeful? And thirdly, break out the thumbtacks. It’s time for your 100 question surve-- Huh, he’s gone. *dusts off hands* Can’t believe that worked. Anyway, Ave-- if this makes it to you, I hope you’re doing okay, and I’ll be hopping by soon. Take care.
