Time Lords. There's something that's just so damned... fictional about it. It sounds made-up, on the face of it; maybe that's what convinces her, ultimately, of his honestly. A liar would probably have thought of something a little less on the nose, at least.

Well, probably. She's known people who would do that kind of thing. But as obstructive as this 'Doctor' seemed to want to be, he didn't strike her as being stupid— or, at least, not that kind of stupid.

"Wow."

Otherworldly was relative. If you had the right perspective, it was possible to witness the eye of God in a football play. Still, she doesn't know what else to say.

"I was one of the first five human spacecraft to leave our solar system. Part of my mission was to find aliens, if any were out there; at first, I used to wonder, but... You know, I honestly never thought this day would arrive. You obviously already know where Earth is, and what Humans are, but— it's just a formality. There's a plaque bolted to my antenna struts, it was put there by the NASA scientists that built me. It's been waiting for almost twenty millennia for you, or someone like you, to read it."

Juice would have given her hell about the approximation. Nine would have given his magnetometer just for a chance to be here. The least she can do, on their behalf, is do this right.
