A/n: Ever wonder how the soldiers see the Doctor?
Introspection and Command Changes
"Please tell me we got that all on tape?" One of the soldiers asked as they all finished shaking off the paralysis that Mik Tow had them under so that they couldn't interfere with his fight with Jack Harkness.
"Yep. Honestly? I'm glad that we never tried anything to do with this Time War, if that's the reaction we'll get." Another soldier responded. "So since us trying to get into the police box is clearly never gonna happen why don't we all head off to the mess? I mean yeah, one of us is gonna have ta stay behind and watch it in case this Doctor person or Mr. Harkness need anything. But, seriously Mic, could we really stop them if they wanted out?"
"I'd have to agree with you on that one Tom. You can head down to the mess if you like but I'm going to find old Fireball Mc'Cal. He was with the advance team of UNIT soldiers sent in to help protect the Doctor." Mic told them. "Maguire? Why don't you stand watch, I know that you've stocked up on snacks and Smith can relieve you in a couple of hours."
"Now wait a mo." One of the remaining officers protested.
"Shut it." Mic ordered and then proceeded to chew him out. "We are not under your command any more. You did a piss poor job of it any way. Honestly, the Thangarians may be from an american comic series but there's still enough that's different about them compared to a human to notice. We may be retired from UNIT but that doesn't mean we can't go active again. Hell, its in UNIT charter that we get reactivated if the Doctor needs the man power. Its been UNIT charter ever since he served as UNIT's scientific advisor under Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. Not that anyone ever bothered telling him that. From what they say about him, he'd be right furious about it until it suddenly came in handy. *snort* Its not like we don't have a choice though and everyone gets a thorough grounding in what the man can do, not to mention all of the bloody cross training. On the other hand its kept a few scientists from getting us all blown up, even if it did take a few years after the Doctor stopped being around regular like to get some of them to realize where their ass is versus where their noggin should be."
By this point the officer was quite pale as were his fellow non-UNIT trained officers. "Then why are you even part of this program?" He asked, pale and starting to sweat.
"Some of us decided that the government figures needed at least someone who would know their own ass from a kettle of shite if there was enough of a mess for Sir Doctor to show up." One of the UNIT retirees said jerking his head toward the Tardis. "Bet you lot didn't know that Queen Victoria knighted him."
Smith snorted. "Yeah, she was so greatful that she knighted him. Then she turned right around and banished him because his methods included laughing at the danger and having a bit of fun with some of the small pure things of life instead of crying like a little girl over the fact that he had to fight a werewolf. That woman probably never stopped to think that if he was having fun and so unconcerned over something so bloody dangerous then he's like as not faced far worse and nearly been broken a time or two."
The new lead officer stared at him in shock. "How would you know that?"
Smith just looked at him. "It stands to reason and besides some of the odd things he's said over the years and that are in his file, no matter which version of him it is, well they just scream a soldier home from the wars, one that's seen a bit too much but knows that to try and keep his mates alive he's got to go back. What do you think the bloke has gone through that, with how often he gets treated like crap or like a threat here, he still sees earth as home? Yeah, him liking our planet probably has something to do with some of the threats we face, but even if we just look at how he acts when earth is threatened as if he was just obsessed with our home, why then does he try so hard to protect it?" Smith shook his head. "Nah, even if he doesn't know it himself, isn't willing to admit it to himself, this is his home too; And we've done a piss poor job keeping it safe or even keeping a little section of it safe enough that he can come home and relax the way he's made sure that the rest of us can at the end of the day."
"Um, guys? You do know that I can't turn off the recording right? That its being shunted live to a security facility that's on the ground?" An enlisted tech warned having finally found a break in the conversation to tell them with.
"Your point, tech head? We don't really care, and they should know what he's done to help keep us safe." Mic told the tech firmly. "Hell, if we could just get the planet to recognize what Smith just spelled out then we might have half a chance of putting that old general back together again. I don't think that we've managed to give him what he needs and he's kept us safe more often then not. I just don't know what to do to help the poor sod." Mic shook his head. "Well, enough talk, lets try and get some of this mess cleaned up."
"I'll go get the rest of the advance team." Smith told them. "I don't think that the Tardis will let anyone else in. I'm not even sure if she'll let us in even with that weird half adoption that Mr. Saxon did when he marked Harkness and the Doctor."
Mic nodded. "In the mean time no one that we don't clear gets anywhere near the Tardis. Got it?" The others nodded in agreement and set about their duties.
The Tech quietly unplugged a backup copy on a USB drive of what had happened in the room and left to find Henry, Mr. Saxon's steward. It would be better if the planet recognized some of the damage that the Doctor took on their behalf would it? Well then they'd just have to make sure that the information got out, now wouldn't they? Henry agreed with the tech and showed him the diplomatic disaster from earlier, suggesting they replace the fight with it. After all the public already knew that Harold Saxon was willing to kill they didn't need more warnings, at least not yet. The file these two compiled would be posted to YouTube and discretely sent out as e-mail attachments and on free USB drives, telling the world that their Doctor considered earth home and they needed to find a way to help him or they would loose him.
A/n: I know the chapter is a bit sentimental but... *shrug*
