10th doctor talks to martha jones about his people an the time war on new new york

(please do not steal my writing )

planet designation: New New York situated at the end of the gridlock episode...


after saving the population that was locked apon the underground motorway the doctor sits on the floor of the senate room and by his oldest and most ancient of friends the face of boe who is now dying after giving all that remains of his life force to aid the doctor to achieve his goal of opening up the motorway. across from him is the cat nurse hayme who was boes nurse. and martha jones who enters the senate room and comes over to to doctor, who introduces her to boe just before he dies after explaining that
the doctor was not alone. On their way back towards the tardis at the end of the episode martha jones stops picks up a chair and sits down....
                                                                   

The Doctor:  'I lied to you, 'cause I liked you. I could pretend, just for a bit, I could imagine they were still alive underneath. The burnt orange sky. I'm not just a Time Lord: I'm the last of the Time Lords. The Face of Boe was wrong. There's no one else.'

Martha Jones:   'What happened?'

The Doctor:  'There was a war. A Time War. The last great Time War. My people fought a race called the Daleks for the sake of all creation, and they lost. They lost. Everyone lost.' 'They're all gone now, my family, my friends, even that sky. '

The doctor... 'Ah, you should have seen it, that old planet. The second sun would rise in the south, and the mountains would shine. The leaves on the trees were silver. When they caught the light every morning, they lit the forest aflame. My people, the time lords were an ancient and proud race. we were once one of the oldest and mightiest of civilizations in the Universe, and we held absolute power for some ten million years or so until the war came. Our lives, what you would call childhood was much like that of your human offspring. But by the time most gallifreyans reached the age of eight were were removed from family life and coseted within the gallifreyan academy there to learn all that our tutors could and did teach us. They also would take those they thought strong enough to look into the untempered schism that allows one to look right into the heart of the time vortex itself..'


at this point at the end of the episode you don't get to hear what the doctor says to martha as they sit there in the rain all you hear is singing in the background. here is what i think happens that you don't get to hear about...

The doctor goes one to describe to martha a little of his home planet and the preparations that his people undertake to make sure that they have enough weapons and war tardises to win against the daleks. he goes on toexplain how the current president of the time lords lady romana dvoratrelundar had tried her best to make peace with them on a nutral planet but all delegation attempts failed and the war begun. the doctor tells how romana makes the decision to step down as lady president and makes the decision to bring back rassilon a decision she comes to regret... and how with the aid of trusted friends she contacts the doctor bringing him back from the front lines of the battle and hands him the weapon he will need to end the time war after explaining just how bad things had gotten and that rassilon had decreed the final sanction for all life.

the doctor... the tears shone on the doctors handsome features as he went on to explain:  i fought on the front lines during the time war, i bore witness to the fall of arcadia, i saw what my people had chosen to unleash apon the universe. the nightmare child, the could've been king and his army of meanwhiles and never wheres.. i saw daleks exterminate innocent children and newborn babes. and i had couldn't stand it then the call came from home lady romana had decided that one way or the other that the war should end no matter the cost and she knew that the only person smart enough and strong enough to do the deed and survive the outcome was him. how he would take the demat weapon meant to be used for the final sanction and bring about the end of all things and turn it into the moment. creating a fixed point in time, time locking the war and ending the war once and for all at the loss of notj ust the daleks but of gallifrey and his own people....

you don't get to really know the truth about martha's reaction to the things that he tells her but i think she is a compassionate woman and most likely held the doctor as he cried for the loss of his home and people i think she too cried along with him... how long they stayed on new new york is unknown before he takes her home and she choses to leave the doctors company and get on with her life only to be recruited by unit forces and then torchwood for a time. while the doctor heads off on his travels only to regenerate at the end of days against the master and rassilon after sending them back into the time war.
