The Human Time Lord
One day you find a massive crater in your yard. Astonishingly, nobody else seems to care that it's there. You decide to see what's up...
In the crater you find what appears to be a large tree... by whatever logic, you go down into the crater to find that the tree has a door in front of it. The door is hanging open. Nervously, you take a peek inside...
You've found a TARDIS. While the exterior seems alright, the interior seems to have taken quite a bit of damage. Suddenly, the lights turn on, and the control panel lights up.
You know full well that it's a TARDIS. Unlike the Doctor's, it has no entrances to any other rooms past the control panel. No owner can be found.
You walk inside.
Despite the damage, everything on the control panel seems to be working. It automatically pull up instructions, as if it wants you to read them.
Now here you make a choice:
1. You read the instructions and learn how to work it. You inform your family, perhaps get somebody to go with you, and go on the adventure of a lifetime.
2. You pull down the instructions and leave the TARDIS, not looking back. You won't use it because either you have too many responsibilities, you're afraid you might mess up time, or that you may BE KILL BY DALEKS.
What I would do:
I would go with option 2 for a while, then the temptation would build and I would switch to option 1. I'd re-disguise it as a Pepsi machine, set the control room desktop theme to a Planetarium.
Then I'm just left to decide where in the hell I'm going to go.
But what would YOU do?
