As I discusses in the previous log entry, Oasis has now become a somewhat regular stop off for our people, as we have now altered our fleet of TTCs to be able to gain an artron charge from a rift-vent. This will allow us to continue our civilization, though in a somewhat... limping fashion. In the meanwhile, Lord President Auron and I will be drawing up plans for a new, proper Eye to serve as power source for, well, EVERYTHING in our society.
There are other things regarding Oasis, however, I should record here.
The rift-vents, as we have taken to calling them, are not rifts unto themselves. They are more areas where the massive temporal anomaly at the core of this strange world has broken through the mantle of the planet. I suppose a Terran would equate it with a natural gas vent, but one that leaks time rather than methane... But, Terrans are somewhat stupid in temporal matters.
The rift vents, located at various places across the planet, are like nothing we've dealt with in the past. They are going to require much more study. Their behaviour has produced some interesting anomalies.
On our first excursion to Oasis, we discovered a wounded TTC along with her pilot, one Delphine, a previous member of New Gallifrey's Chancellery Guard, who has now joined our ranks and again serves with the guard. It's always good to find another New Gallifreyan survivor.
Additionally, however, there was another Time Lady in that region. One going by the name "Dee". I have checked her bio-signature and... she's not from New Gallifrey. There's some interesting fluctuations within her genes which I am hoping to get studied. I will need to discus this with our medical team.
During the latest mission to Oasis, we DID as previously noted, obtain a sample of... THAT substance, which is how we are now able to gather energy, but the rift-vent there was ready to surprise us further.
While the rest of the team was searching for the required sample, I was studying the rift-vent. Readings were, frankly, seeming random, which did make any kind of analysis exceptionally difficult. That was not the more interesting thing, however.
While the others were in the crypt trying to locate the sample, yet another Time Lady... well... fell out of the vent.
Unlike Dee, this Time Lady DID register with certain signatures indicating a previous life on New Gallifrey, though her identity has been, as yet, unable to be determined. On a personal note, there IS something somewhat familiar about her, but I can't quite place it.
This new arrival has some kind of... attache case that seems attached to her... actually ATTACHED in some metaphysical way. She has no active memory, however. She doesn't know her identity, nor the purpose of this case. For now, it's been decided that she will also use the name Oasis. (At this time, I request all TT Capsule pilots ensure they differentiate between the PLANET Oasis and the INDIVIDUAL Oasis within their navigation systems.)
Possibly, however, the most troublesome discovery was within the crypt. The team discovered highly temporally unstable pieces of dalek technology. Fortunately, nothing active or alive, but... it's worrying.
I am, I think, going to need to clear my head to think on this. There is only one place I think I can do that...
Culculex.
