IC: HQ Zero
Drax lifted his tea and slurped rather awfully, then laid it aside. "Yer, quite right, we do 'appen to 'ave some gadgets you need. Hang on 'arf a mo!" He stabbed buttons on the remote several times, and nothing happened. He jiggled it. And eventually, walloped it on a table. A drawer in the table slid open. He dropped the remote aside and sighed. "Entropy is gettin' into everyfink. I just hope this little lot will work long enough fer you to get the job done."
He first held up a large bracelet, with a triskel sort of ornament on it. It was too large to really wear comfortably, or unobtrusively. "First up, we 'ave what is commonly called a time ring. I reckon you know all about 'em, Miss Susan. And the doctor Harry 'ere, must know about 'em by now if you were around daleks on Skaro. Well! How it works is, when you are all finished up in whatever place you get sent to, you get hold of it, and tell it where to take you next. Like, if you wanted to go find the Master, just tell it to do that. But you all have to hang on to it together, or some will get left behind, and there'll be all sorts of paperwork! So, don't do that!" He looked over the very varied party and frowned, and eventually handed it to Amy. "You better take this and stuff it in that bag you got there. It's too big fer pockets, and you don't want to get caught wearin' it. Or accidentally tell it to do somefink and it does it coz you forgot it was on yer wrist."
The next thing he held up was a small device, no larger than a cellphone, and with a fair bit of flashy button and light decoration on it. "Temporal scanner. This little gadget will lock onto any nearby sources of artron energy, and if you calibrate it right, you can even scan someone. If they're from Gallifrey, it'll tell you. Not sure how. Probably goes ping, or somefink. Might take a while to figure out how to use it, and I got no clue. I did 'ave one, but never got it working. The chronostat was bust." He passed it to Susan. "This seems mostly in your line, bein' all Time Lordy and stuff. I bet you can get it doin' all sorts of fancy stuff in time. Hur! No pun intended!"
Next up was what looked like a wrist watch. A fancy one, at that. "This is a temporal communicator. It's already set up so yer can speak direct to this room. There'll always be someone 'ere, so any time you fink you need a chat with us, just press the windy thing, and you'll get through. If there's anybody left alive over 'ere, and entropy don't knacker the thing first." He passed that to Victoria, and gave a smile that was meant to be reassuring, but was a little let down by the fact he had a bit of pork pie in his teeth. "You keep an eye on it. You lot get into too much trouble, let us know. Not sure if we'll be able to send anybody out to lend a 'and, but we can advise!"
He took up the last item. "Nah, I'm quite proud of this. I worked it out with the tin dog. It's a portable HADS. 'cept it is not automatic." It was a small box, the size of a cufflink or ear-ring box. With a single big red button on it. "If you end up in mortal, and I mean like die in the next five seconds, peril, give this a wallop! It'll displace you to somewhere very safe - as much as anywhere is safe with the universe doin' an impression of a soufflé in an airing cupboard. But if you're in different places, you might get sent to different places, too. It'll move all of yer, in one big jump, no matter where yer are in relation to each other. Might be a problem gettin' you all back together, but it'll keep you alive."
That was passed to Harry. "For the love of Rassilon, don't press it by accident! Or lose it! Some local yokel finds it and presses it, they could end up sendin' you all to the far side of the universe by accident! And! It'll only work the once. So... use it only in dire emergency, innit?"
He finally looked at Leela. Her outfit was a bit distracting, but so was her manner, and the rather professional way she had handle the carving knife she had appropriated. "I am 'fraid I ain't got a gadget for you, but it ain't like you're very endowed with pockets. You keep everybody safe and alive."
He narrowed his eyes and regarded them all, his eyes intelligent, even shrewd, for all his ludicrous accent and over the top Cockney mannerisms. "You might be the last chance the universe has for survival. I wish we could give you more, but the Boss is bustin' a blood vessel just keepin' the universe running. This will be dangerous. You'll have to survive with your wits, your insight, and most of all, your courage. You've all traveled in time, and that will keep you insulated from the universal collapse better than most. But if you don't get the Doctor back, it's just a matter of time before we all get wiped out."
He was deathly silent for a moment, then beamed and became animated again. "So, that's a lark, innit? Right, you lot got any more questions? We need to get you off to wherever you are goin' first. Got time for one question each!"
