Chapter six
The Ghost.
The TARDIS set down at a space shuttle part. Opening the door a small group of the crew came out side. All around them were the remains of the shuttle craft, hangers, and terminals. Vegetation grew over much of the buildings. Luna looked over the ruins, and said. These plants, how do they live?"
Time Turner explained. "Like most plant life. See these seed pods? I would say that hey will open up with the heat of the radiation of the stars alignment, and repopulate this world. With out the death star they would never open and there would be no life on this world. Plants are very strong."
The group of Princess Luna, Ditzy Doo, and Time Turner set about there work. They took four small transmitters and place them next to the TARDIS. Time Turner then use his sonic screwdriver to set each one of them in place. When they were almost done Luan had to ask. "Time Turner what are we doing?"
It was Ditzy Doo that explained as Time Turner went on working. "The are hologram projectors. When Time Turner gets them set just right, they will send out a projection up into space that will make it look like we are landing on this planet. What his is hoping to do is get the Borg to land hear and start looking for us. The death star will wash away our temporal wake, and we may even get a few Borg."
Luna then asked. "You mean to kill them?"
Time Turner replied. "If Octavia is right, and I sure she is. Then we are doing those poor being a grate kindness. The cube is ensllaving them, and keeping them in a half death state. Even if we could free them, they would be living is grate troment and agony. Along with frief and misery. Trouble in both body and soul."
Just then Octavia and Vinyl ran outside. Vinyl shouted. "T.T. we got a star ship coming in. I think they are looking for the colony."
Hearing the news, every pony ran back into the TARDIS. However Ditzy Doo's legs went 'derpy' on her and she fell to the ground. Almost at once she felt not only Time Turner helping her up, but someone else. The feeling of some being on her left flank pick her up form the ground. The being whispered into her ear. "Go back, my love, to the beginning. I am so sorry."
Ditzy Doo pulled to her right side, almost knocking Time Turner down, saying. "Did you see that?"
Knowing Ditzy Doo, Time Turner pulled out his conic screwdriver from his tie pocket (a personal invetion). He looed over the top of his wifes side to see nothing, but he took a quick scan of the air. and looked at the reading. He then said. "Psychic foot print, with temporal over lay. We got a ghost helper."
There was not time to study the ghost, as both Ditzy Doo and Time Turner had to get back into the TARDIS. Time Turner then asked. "Vinyl, why can you not contact that incoming star ship?"
Vinyl reply. "Hay! You ponies did a lot of stuff with time and space travel, but you did not do jack for radio. The radiation form the stars are messing up commutation. We got to get closer for them to hear us."
Getting to the helm Ditzy Doo said. "Then lets do just that."
