Rothgar looked to Jack. "Go on and try to hug me...." he said somewhat evily and hissed loudly to shoot out his towards jack. His razar sharp teeth inches from his face.. Drool coming from his jaws in drippy strands.
"We will fly, far more quicker then walking. Just tell me when we get near the spot your pet bot says your friend is at Lying down to give Jack more to work with in climbing on his said. "Well? Lets go?

Jack scrambled on, surprisingly graceful for his first time doing so, and considering he was hauling K-9(who was deceivingly light. Jack loved Time Lord technology). Finding a way to hold on and keep K-9 from falling, he found himself ready.
Alright. Ready. K-9, can you give Rothgar directions as we go?
Affirmative.

Rothgar flew off and went as K-9 directed. But it only led them further away from everything her recogized. "this land is strange to me...." Rothgar said as he looked around. "The very smells are alien.

And it's getting colder. Are we almost there?
Affirmative. Ninety degree turn right and begin descent.
Jack managed to button up his trench coat with one hand while staying on despite the wind blowing against him.
Hearing wings, Alexx ducked out of the cave where she'd been busy working on improving her sonic screwdriver(to no avail), and looked up. As the spot grew he eyes widened at the sight of the trench coat. She knew exactly who it was and chuckled.
Well I'll be damned.

Rothgar followed K-9's instructions and landed with a few hops to slow down. EVA"s voice sounded out of his pack.
"Sargeant. I have monitored you off course of the anomoly by 200 miles. Give me a report emediatly Rothgar let Jack off and went to the bussiness of describing why he went off mission.

Alexx! Come here!
Jack practically smothered her in his hug, but she didn't seem to mind. After a few seconds he pulled away and held her still for a second.
How long have you been here?
Twenty six years.
You don't look a day older.
Normally, I'd say that was just in your head, but 27 years is nothing for my kind, as you well know.
She caught sight of a metal flash and glanced behind Jack to see her favourite robot in the world, who was wagging his tail.
K-9! Oh, how I've missed you!
She knelt down as the dog rolled over to get gently hugged, so as not to break him.
Mistress!
Alexx didn't even give Rothgar a glance. She'd been away from her 'family' too long. Much too long.
-Caspian can have stayed with her if you want, but it doesn't matter-

EVA had told Rothgar much. There was a atmospheric disterbance signalling a massive storm was heading there way. But most important of all was what she said next.
"I was going over the logs for the terminals. The AI for you friend may have accidently copyed some classified files about the philosophers legacy before I cut it out the network. That or a spy. Destroy the Mark unit" Rothgar sighed. Orders were orders. Chances could not be taken "Roger" He looked over to Jack and said telepathically.
"Remember how I said it was nothing personal back on the Orion buddy. Well, its nothing personal now. But I have been ordered to destroy K-9
Important files are missing from the data base. Its eitherr K-9 or a spy. EVA wont take chances

Alexx had become highly tuned to psychic networking, and she stood in between the two.
No. I won't let you. K-9, initiate protection protocol 7.45.
Initiating.
There were a few beeps from the robot, and then the air around him wavered before he disappeared. The protocol sent a signal between him and the TARDIS, automatically sending him back into the space and time machine. He might come back someday, but for now he was in another dimension and entirely unreachable.
Alexx clutched a small scrap of metal and looked up at the sky, with a small smile on her face.
Good boy, K-9. Good boy.
Jack grabbed her shoulder and turned her around. THere was actually a serious look on his face for once, showing he might possibly make a decent parent or guardian. Well, on occasion.
Alexx. What's protocol 7.45?
Sends him back to the TARDIS, Jack. You know that whatever K-9 has done, he'll keep information confidential. Dad might even erase it, for all I know. But I am not going to let them destroy K-9. I don't care who they are. I'm one of the last Time Lords in existance. I am stranded away from my family with no way back. I'm not going to damn well let them kill anybody!
Being here, away from everyone and everything she had ever known, was clearly getting to her head. She needed to see the stars again, maybe watch a star explode, or hear tales from her dad about Gallifrey, or even just get some good, British fish and chips. But nothing she needed was here.
Jack face fell from serious to sad and he looked away, unable to meet her eyes. He'd found a way to get here, yes, but he had never thought about finding a way back. He figured it could work the same, but apparently it wouldn't, or she wouldn't still be here.

Rothgar made a swing for K-9 Before he teleported away. EVA's voice sounded from his pack. "unregistered teleportation detected. Attempting to intercept signal and redirect.... coordinate change succesful. Mark unit teleportation has redirected to the ORION. Mark unit has been quarantined. Tech crews notified. Data encryption enitiated. Any files related to the philosophers legacy will be erased."
Rothgar went back over to the pack. "Will the mark unit be returned when its data encryption has been decoded and the files erased?" EVAS voice came back. "Roger, Standbye. Aquiring telematry from the nano machines in your blood stream...... location aquired" Rothgar took his pack up and his body sparkled for a minute as he was teleported back up to the ORION.
Whoever these people were. There technology matched that of the time lords. Rothgar looked to Alexx and said right before he teleported. "Why do you care so much for the bot? Its not a living breathing creature....

If looks could kill, Rothgar would be dead with the look Alexx shot his direction.
K-9 is part of my family. Whether that makes sense to you or not, I don't care. My people are dead, my planet caught outside of time so I can't even see what should have been my home, and all I have left is the technology of my kind and my father. You go ahead and tell me that I shouldn't care at all for K-9. But I programmed emotions into him, and he is as real as any of us.
She replied, not letting the tears show.
In the meantime, Jack still hadn't managed to look her in the eyes again, but he looked over at Rothgar and smiled. He raised his hand in a salute.
Maybe I'll see you again, someday. Hope I don't see that soldier who shot me, though. Might be awkward.

Back on the ORION Rothgar put on his powersuit and charged his battle rifle. EVA's voice sounded on the intercom. "Sargeant glasscock, the mark unit is giving the techs trouble. Get down to maintenence and provide assistance. "Damn robots.." he muttered to start on his way.
Entering the maintenence rothgar ducked a red laser beam. A civilian in a white coat reached for K-9 but a low level beam hit his hand. With a yell at the stinging beams the techs kept there distance. Rothgar took his pistol and plugged in a small nob like device. taking aim and firing the eletronics jammer hit the mark units side with a thunk. With a hum, K-9 shut down harmlessly as the jammer distrupted its internal hardrive. "Do your best not to do any damage to its insides. I want to return it as it was back to its owners later. With that said he left to patrol the military ship.
