The Guardian:
The woman looks at "Tee", and her scowl cracks a bit.
"Sorry," she says, "I'm sorry. You didn't deserve that. But you wouldn't have seen the people they were bringing into the clinic after the bombing. We didn't have enough cots to hold everyone." The corners of her mouth tremble. "I-- I lost someone, and I can't stand these people marching around here saying that it was all to make us better. I want to hurt them, so much, and I know that I shouldn't, and that it's all useless anyway."
Trav starts to think that maybe she shouldn't have left her pistols back at the TARDIS.
"Listen, darling, I know it's hard when people you love get hurt. We'll get to the bottom of what these clowns are about, and we'll get their asses off of your habitat. You have my word."
She places her hands on the woman's shoulders. "But, you also need to understand that it's *never* useless. People have successfully fought against odds that are just as great. Monument City, the Warsaw Ghetto, Serybdis III. Resistance can be organized, but it needs to be done in a smart way. I've been involved in a few revolutions. Stan and I, we can help. But first, it sounds like you have injured. Stan here is the best medical doctor I know. Lets get your people some help, and if you can help us with everything you know about these fists, we can get a plan together."
Trav felt remnants of her second self scrunching up with that stubborn little face she'd get when she saw the weak getting hurt - she finally had found her feet. This was a battle for
liberty. She already had the beginnings of a plan, based on moral suasion, but she needed just a bit more information. She remembers when she broadcast from the TARDIS Erin Tarn's Voice Of Liberty, which helped create the rebellion which brought freedom to Chi-Town.
Stan could tell, the wheels were turning, and she was getting a creaky smile. "The way you beat self righteous jack asses like this is with ideas. Ghandi did it, Erin Tarn did it. We'll do it!"
