A/n: How do you think they talked during those 3 days of isolation? I also apologize for the excessive amount of line breaks, I couldn't get around using them to format it right on this site.

Tardis Post

The Jones were just starting to really worry over the fact that they couldn't find Martha and the other three when the Tardis practically dropped Martha's note in Trish's lap drawing everyone's attention to it. When Tish saw exactly who it was from they decided to read it together, as a family.

Dear Tish,

I'm sorry but the boys decided to do something utterly stupid. The Tardis and I decided that we need to keep them from doing themselves any more harm for a couple of days and that means that any communication that isn't by Tardis delivered letter isn't going to work or they'll find some way of using it to break out. I'm fine and so are they if a bit weak from what they tried to do. Its sad but also funny that the Doctor tried to run when the Master threatened to force him to watch both of their memories of the war. I put a stop to that but it makes me worry over just how much damage those memories might be doing, and not just to the Doctor but to the Master as well. One of the drawbacks from being a Time Lord is that the Time Lord mind is strong enough to kill with a bad enough nightmare. I don't think that they remember that its true of humans as well it just takes something truly horrific and believable for the human mind to shut down like that, humans have too many mental fail-safes in their, our, brains.

Oh god, listen to me. I can't tell anymore if I should call myself human or Time Lord. I mean I know I'm still me, Martha, but its a bit confusing and the three of them aren't helping much with their own attempts to try and keep one another safe or help. I just finished reading up on Time Lord biology and I really just want to kill them after the stunt they pulled. So yeah, I know that the memories and nightmares represent a huge problem, one that could even kill them, but I've been having trouble just getting them to take a kip and rest for three days. Don't worry about wandering around the Tardis, she'll keep you safe and away from anything that might be dangerous to late 20th century humans, like her equivalent of an engine room. It helps knowing that you're all close by even if I can't really talk to you or let you help if I want to keep these idiots from doing something so utterly stupid, again.

Can you try and keep Mum and the others from worrying? If something really goes wrong and I need your help the Tardis will make sure you can get to us. I have to go. Jack's started making paper balls and throwing them at the other two. The Doctor's just looking annoyed at being stuck in bed and the fact that Jack keeps hitting him with the paper balls he's aiming so carefully, and the Master is starting to look homicidal again. Time to put on another film or get the Doctor and the Master to argue over one of the times they fought. Its always interesting to find out what the two of them have done over the centuries. I suppose that I could get Jack to tell one of his stories but then the Doctor will start frowning an arguing with Jack over what he should and shouldn't have done. I suppose I could always stick a Carmel apple or some other sticky sweet in his mouth but then he's going to be hyper for a good six hours. Remind me to tell you how I found out about that one will you? Just a word of warning, unless we're in mortal danger or there's a way for the Doctor to burn off the sugar right off, don't give him candy or coffee or, god forbid, an energy drink! That man is hyper enough without adding in sugar or caffeine, much less one of those chemical concoctions they call energy drinks!

Don't worry to much and take care.

~Martha~

While this note didn't put them completely at ease it did ease their minds a bit and allowed them not to worry overmuch. It also amused the Tardis to note that Francine Jones made everyone retreat to the group of rooms she had made up for them and stay there after reading the letter. That was fine. Her Thief an his pack needed the time alone together. The Tardis soon delivered another note from Martha which they all gathered around eagerly to read. After all they weren't quite sure how to write back yet.

Tish,

Something's been bothering me and I'm not sure who to ask about it. Maybe you'll know what to make of it Tish. While we were inside the bond and I was learning how to control my new mental abilities we ran across a fragment of someone who'd embedded himself inside the Master during the war, well sort of, and I had to fight him! He wanted us to bring back Gallifrey but that would have re-opened the war. The Tardis is part of the bond and told me what to say to make sure he could never come back once we got rid of him, this fragment. What really bothers me is that I don't entirely understand what I, I guess the best word would be invoked. Think you can help me figure it out? Just please don't tell mum!

I know that it was some sort of ritual wording that has power in their culture, possibly even so far as to be legally binding. I got the feeling from the Tardis that the words eternally bound the Doctor, the Master, Jack, me and the Tardis into protecting humans and earth. That it also removed them from the authority of the Time Lord people. Almost as if they had been labeled ambassadors and earth adopted them as part of the human race. My god, the words even called them a blood price! Can you believe that?

Here, I'll write it all out and you can go over it yourself.

In accordance with ancient Gallifreyan law set in time locked stone, infused with atron energy that even the untempered schism could not break. In accordance with the bloodline codes dating back to the first alpha, the first pilot, the first Tardis, to the beginning of the planetary pattern of the planet Gallifrey and with the blessing of time's essence and spirit. I claim The Doctor and The Master, the Tardis to which the Doctor is currently primary pilot, the Fixed Point Time Walker, and retain my own heritage as a human, binding and bound, the five of us to earth and humanity as a whole. As well as to continue to fulfill the obligations set upon both the Doctor and the Master when they were called as guardians of differing and balanced types to the very essence of the universe, meant to walk side by side but torn asunder by the early signs of the betrayal of the Time Lord race. This is the blood price, this is the forfeit. Do you dare challenge the claim?

The fragment, he went by the name of Rassilon, called me a traitor to the Time Lord race before I said all of this and after he said that he didn't recognize my right to even make the claim! The nutter. At least he's not attached to the Master anymore and we've gotten rid of that bloody signal that he embedded into the Master's mind. So that's something. Any help would be great!

Oh dear, I have to go, they've started arguing over morals and alien rights and why they did what they did over the centuries again. I'll have to stop them before it becomes a blood bath.

~Martha~

The puzzel of the ritual words worried the Jones but it also kept them occupied for a good long while, until they were so exhausted that they had to take a kip themselves. Tish however had an idea and tried it before going to bed. She wrote up a quick note from a pad of paper and pen in her purse and left it on the table, face down to see if the Tardis would deliver it while they were asleep.

Martha,

I couldn't keep it from Mum, sorry. No way around it, but we all took a look and we're not quite sure what it means either. I'm leaving this on the coffee table while we all have a kip. I'm hoping that the Tardis will deliver this to you like you said she might. Everyone's having trouble getting used to the idea that you aren't human any more and that this place is alive! I believe you though. I've seen some weird things happen while we've been here. I hope mum doesn't notice them or she wont ever let you back here again. I think that this Tardis of yours has a sense of humor and keeps hiding little things, like a little kid playing keep away from the grown ups. But if this keeps up for to much longer Mum, Dad, and Leo will catch on and might even try to do a runner. I think Mum plans on slapping that Doctor of yours once you all come back, she's in a right state over all of this. Try to come back out soon. Okay?

~Tish~

Martha sat back at her desk and looked at her sleeping pack mates after reading Tish's message. She wasn't really surprised at her family's reaction but she wouldn't be leaving the Tardis with them. She would stay with these impossible men and see what trouble they could get into. With a small smile Martha penned a reply, leaving it on the desk for the Tardis to deliver, and went to bed.

Tish,

No matter how much Mum rants and raves I'm not coming home with you. I'll always love you and you'll always be my family but I don't belong in the slow lane of the time stream anymore. I belong here, on the Tardis, making sure these daft fools don't go around getting themselves killed. She'll just have to accept that this is my choice and its something that she can't change. I know the risks but I also know how to take care of myself. I'm not a human child anymore, and these three need someone to keep them in check or we might loose them, if not to death than to madness. They've all been fighting it for a very long time. I intend to keep them from it just a little bit longer if I can, and if I can't then I don't know anyone else who could deal with them. If I need help then I'll ask but these boys are my responsibility as much as I am theirs. Take care, and I love you.

~Martha~
