Everyone settled down to watch the next episode. It didn't matter if they wanted to, or if they didn't. At any rate, the Eternal could manipulate emotions like that easily. Well, it was easy to manipulate the humans, and most Time Lords. The Doctors and the Master were on an entirely different leval.
The details don't matter(the devils in the details though).
Based upon the episodes title, River would naturally be angry. However, due to the previously mentioned reasons, she was not.
[Spaceship]
(A young woman is led in by an older woman. She speaks to a man wearing a tattered Confederate Army uniform.)
IDRIS: Will it be me, Uncle?
UNCLE: Yes, it's going to be you. I only wish I could go in your place, Idris. Nah, I don't, because it's really going to hurt.
(An Ood with glowing green eyes appears behind Idris.)
IDRIS: It's starting. What will happen?
AUNTIE: Oh. Er, Nephew will drain your mind and your soul from your body and leave your body empty.
"She agreed to do so without any information? Seriously, what's up with people these days? Not that I'm complaining though- it made my job a whole lot easier."
(Idris goes up onto a platform with a bit of alien tech dangling around the place. The Ood holds Idris' head.)
IDRIS: I'm scared.
AUNTIE: I expect so, dear. But soon you'll have a new soul. There'll be a Time Lord coming.
"Is it just me, or does that sound ominous?" asked Clara
"It's not just you." Rory reassured.
[Tardis]
DOCTOR: And then we discovered it wasn't the Robot King after all, it was the real one. Fortunately, I was able to re-attach the head.
"Spaceman, never stop being so crazy."
"Actually, do." Clara contradicted Donna. "I'd like to not be in a constant state of suspended belief."
The Doctors merely pouted at that. Well, the 11th and 10th Doctors did. The 12th Doctor scowled.
RORY: Do you believe any of this stuff?
AMY: I was there.
DOCTOR: Oh, it's the warning lights. I'm getting rid of those. They never stop.
RORY: Hey. You're still thinking about it, aren't you?
AMY: Oh, shush. We saw him die.
"Wait, what!" The 11th Doctor shouted.
"Spoilers"
RORY: Yeah, two hundred years in the future.
AMY: Yes, but it's still going to happen.
(Rat tat a tat tat on the Tardis door.)
AMY: What was that?
DOCTOR: The door. It knocked.
RORY: Right. We are in deep space.
DOCTOR: Very, very deep.
(Shave and a haircut, two bits.)
DOCTOR: And somebody's knocking.
(The Doctor opens the doors. A small glowing box is outside.)
DOCTOR: Oh, come here. Come here, you scrumptious little beauty.
(The box flies inside and ends up hitting the Doctor on the chest.)
RORY: A box?
AMY: Doctor, what is it?
DOCTOR: I've got mail. Time Lord emergency messaging system. In an emergency, we'd wrap up thoughts in psychic containers and send them through time and space. Anyway, there's a living Time Lord still out there, and it's one of the good ones.
"Am I not good, Doctor" was addressed to the 10th Doctor. The resulting silence was answer enough.
RORY: You said there weren't any other Time Lords left.
DOCTOR: There are no Time Lords left anywhere in the universe. But the universe isn't where we're going. See that snake?
(The Ouroboros, the snake swallowing its own tail.)
DOCTOR: The mark of the Corsair. Fantastic bloke. He had that snake as a tattoo in every regeneration. Didn't feel like himself unless he had the tattoo. Or herself, a couple of times. Ooo, she was a bad girl.
"The way your saying it…" Implied Jack "You've-" Fortunately, he was quickly shut up, by a look from River.

A/N
Only putting up a partial chapter today. Please answer the poll on my profile. I just watched Ready Player One today, which is the reason of my only partial chapter. Does anyone else think that the movie could count as fanfiction? Please let me know if you do. I'm accepting props if anyone will prompt me. Have a good day/night/morning/afternoon/evening.
