The professor landed the tardis, grinning manically. He had picked a new outfit a couple of days ago. He was wearing a black suit, but the jacket was unbuttoned, no tie, and the first two buttons were undone. He was also wearing black army boots. He adjusted his jacket, and smiled. He had also gotten a gun. A colt python 6 inch barrel revolver. This incarnation was different nto his last two incarnations.
The professor picked up his sonic screwdriver, and put the revolver in the holster he had in the inside of his suit jacket. He opened the door of the tardis and stepped out. He was on earth, in 2540. He had landed in liverpool, and he smiled. He looked around the street and it was deserted. He said "Thats wierd. Usually liverpool is busy. Even at night." He locked the tardis and walked down the street.

There were two of them, and they stood out even in the cosmopolitan streets of 25th century Liverpool. One was a squat, ugly man - clearly from a heavy gravity world - whose ill-fitting crimson suit and black demiboots utterly failed to convince anyone who looked at him that he was a businessman. And the other?
Well, the other might have been assumed to have been some sort of unusual servitor robot. Perhaps manufactured by the Draconians. Or the Mixlans. Or, really, by any non-human species. It was tall, and shaped something like a salt shaker, with two arms that jutted from the front of the device and an eyestalk that jutted from the top dome. It was black, with gold trim, and it slid along like a ground-effect vehicle.
Apparently unconcerned by the unusual looks they were receiving, the pair entered the offices of the Ministry of Offworld Affairs, Bureau of Navigation.

The professor was near the Ministry of Offworld Affairs, Bureau of Navigation, and when he saw one of the two creatures that entered the bureau, he paled. It was a dalek! He had encountered a dalek in his past two incarnations, and now this was his first encounter with a dalek in his third incarnation. He went to the bureau, his eyes a dangerous shade of black.
The professor pulled out his python revolver as he entered the bureau and aimed it at the dalek and said "Dalek, stop. You are not welcome on earth. and neither is your friend." The professor hated the daleks more than anything, and would be very aggressive to any dalek. He said "Don't make me shoot your companion." He turned his aim onto the the daleks companion, but kept an eye on the dalek itself.

"Dalek, stop. You are not welcome on earth. and neither is your friend. Don't make me shoot your companion."
Irkk stopped short, more out of surprise than anything else. Daleks are unknown in this post-War timeline. Who could possibly...? His optic stalk rotated to starboard, while the rest of his travel machine rotated to port.
"What the hell?" asked Saflan, in a less studied but equally heartfelt statement.
They were staring at a man in a black suit, wielding what appeared to be a chemical propellant firearm dating to the mid 20th century. The firearm was aimed steadily at Saflan.
"Who the hell are... oh for... Klono's carballoy teeth and tungsten gullet."
"Good af-ter-noon, Pro-fes-sor," grated Irkk, casually placing the targeting sight for his electron shredder on the Time Lord's center of mass. "I would say it is a pleas-ure to see you again, but that would be a lie."

The professor looked at the dlake, with a face of suprise. He said "Dalek, how do you know my name? I have never seen you before." He aimed the gun at the light above them, and shot it, plunging them into slight darkness. He then dived behind a desk and said "How exactly do you know me dalek? I never encountered you in the time war." He was furious and pulled out his sonic screwdriver, trying to think of what to do.

The professor looked at the dlake, with a face of suprise. He said "Dalek, how do you know my name? I have never seen you before."
Saflan looked irritated. "C'mon, Prof. It hasn't even been that long, and now you're getting in our business again!"
Irkk's optic stalk twitched in Saflan's direction. "No. He is probably telling the truth. Think like a time trav-el-ler."
The Professor aimed the gun at the light above them, and shot it, plunging them into slight darkness.
"My vision is not im-paired," Irkk observed, irritably. "Even the pro-to-type travel ma-chines po-sessed night vision cap-a-bil-i-ties."
"What the hell is wrong with this guy?" Saflan asked. "What did we ever do to him?"
"It is a long story."
He then dived behind a desk and said "How exactly do you know me dalek? I never encountered you in the time war."
"We are both time trav-el-ers. I have al-ready en-count-ered you."
Irkk was silent for a moment. The quiet was broken only by Saflan's irritable swearing.
"I want you to con-sid-er some-thing, Time Lord. In this post-Time War caus-al-i-ty line, the Daleks and the Time Lords have been all but for-got-ten. Daleks are known on 25th cen-tu-ry Earth on-ly by spe-cial-ist his-tor-i-ans of the late-20th cen-tu-ry."
He paused for a moment to let that sink in, then continued. "When the pol-ice arrive, at my sum-mons, they will see a madman with an ar-ch-ic wea-pon shoot-ing up a gov-ern-ment buil-ding and threat-en-ing a priv-ate cit-iz-en on le-git-im-ate busi-ness. I will be a-ssum-ed to be no-thing more than a ser-vi-tor ro-bot."
Irkk was silent for another brief moment. "Saf-lan?"
"Aye, Cap'n?"
"Does this qual-if-y as a joke?"

The professor considered what the dalek had just said. Time travel could mess encounters up. He stood up and looked at the dalek. He said "If you've met me, you'll know i have a vortex manipulator. I can escape here easily, and you wanna know something dalek." The professors eyes were dark, and his mouth was curled into a scowl.
The professor looked right at the dalek and then said"I've probably proven how dangerous i can be on our last encounter. But i want to reassure you of that!" He aimed the revolver at the dalek's eye stalk and fired the 5 remaining bullets of his gun, hoping at least one would penetrate. He then divied behind another deask, and quickly typed in co-ordinates for the top of the building.

"I've probably proven how dangerous i can be on our last encounter. But i want to reassure you of that!" He aimed the revolver at the dalek's eye stalk and fired the 5 remaining bullets of his gun.
A Dalek's optic sensor is small, a difficult shot even well-lit conditions. But, a Time Lord should never be discounted. None of the bullets hit the optic dead on, although two did graze the stalk.
Not that they would have had much effect if they had hit dead on - a Mark VII travel machine wasn't vulnerable to such primitive weapons - but Irkk was momentarily disconcerted by the impacts.
"Dan-ger-ous? Per-haps if you had brought real weapons." The words were cool, but Irkk seethed inside his machine. dang this playacting! he thought. He understood the importance of appearing blameless, of obtaining the data he sought without arousing suspicion. But this... this left him wanting to throw caution to the wind, kill the Time Lord out of hand, and dang the consequences.
Time Lords, he fumed. My civilization is dead and gone at their hands, and they continue to survive.
In the distance, the vreep vreep vreep of a police skimmer could be heard.
"You want I should blast this guy, Cap'n?"
"No," Irkk shrilled. "Stay with the plan. It is more im-por-tant that this... Time Lord."

The professor was seething. The daleks continued to survive, while only a handful of time lords had survived the war. He said "Dalek, i am in my third incarnation. My last two would have shown you mercy, but this incarnation..." He then yelled "THIS INCARNATION SHOWS NO MERCY!" The professor quickly reloaded his revolver.
The professor then pulled out his sonic screwdriver and aimed it up, and activated it. Then, all of the technology in the bureau began to overload. He stood up, and aimed again, and took 2 shots at the daleks eyestalk, then fired 2 more at the daleks companion, as the last of the lights burned out. He then slammed his hand onto the vortex manipulator, and he teleported to the top of the building.

Irkk sat calmly, listening to the primitive projectiles deflect off the dalekanium casing of his travel machine. Saflan did not fare quite so well. The two bullets caught him square in the center of mass, knocking him off his feet. Sparks filled the air, and there was a clap of air rushing to fill a sudden vacuum.
"Get up," Irkk said.
"Ow," Saflan complained. "He shot me. The little freak shot me with that weird little popgun of his!"
"And?"
Saflan lumbered to his feet. "And these clothes don't disperse anywhere near as much kinetic energy as I would like. I'm gonna feel that for days."
Irkk's single optic stared Saflan in the face.
"All right, all right, Cap'n. I'll stop whining now."
"Good. Now be on your best be-hav-ior. We have com-pan-y."
The police entered the room, stunners drawn. "What happened here?"
"I was attacked!" Saflan thundered, putting his anger and irritation into the words. "Some maniac burst in here and tried to kill me!"

The professor looked through the sky light, and pointed his sonic screwdriver down. He extended it, and the claws poipped out as well and he activated the sonic, and suddenly the computers began to overload. He said "What is he doing here? And how did i stop him last time. I don't know cos of the stupid paradox of my first meeting with him, and this encounter, which is his first but my second. How do i stop this dalek?"

Sparks and smoke exploded from the banks of computers. Saflan and the officers jumped, and Irkk made an electronic noise of irritation.
"What the hell was that?" one of the officers asked. They looked around wildly, then glanced up as Irkk's optic sensor traversed upwards.
One of the officers tapped the communicator on his chest. "Base? This is Shankar. We have a shooting and a possible neoluddite attack. Request backup."
The other officer raced out the door and towards a nearby lift.
Saflan, still affecting his disguise as a legitimate businessman, stiffened. "Well," he said to Irkk, "it seems that this office will no longer be able to assist us."
"I con-cur," Irkk rasped.
The two of them headed for the door.

The professor grinned and then typed in co-ordinates. He teleported to the door and said "So, Dalek Irkk, did i meet your expectations? I hope i did. Just tell me one thing. When did you first meet me? Our first meetings are paradoxical, as i met you for the first time, after yoiu encountered me for the first time." He cracked his knuckles.

Irkk and Saflan came to a stop as the figure of the Professor filled the doorway.
"So, Dalek Irkk, did i meet your expectations? I hope i did. Just tell me one thing. When did you first meet me? Our first meetings are paradoxical, as i met you for the first time, after yoiu encountered me for the first time." He cracked his knuckles.
If he'd had any, Irkk would have gritted his teeth. He needed the humans to think he was just a servitor robot, and an "accidental" electron shredder discharge would wreck that idea.
Saflan just grinned. "Officer!" he called with badly-feigned panic, "It's him! He's back!"
The remaining officer spun around, stunner raised. "You, there! Raise your hands and remain where you are! You're under arrest!"

The professor quickly typed in co-ordinates for the console room of his tardis. He said "Bye Dalek Irkk! Au revoir Dalek Irkk's companion! Adios police!" He then slammed his hand into the teleport button, and teleported to the inside of his tardis. He said "Ok. I wonder when i will next meet Dalek Irkk." He then typed in co-ordinates and took off, feeling lonely.
