Summary
Shortly after losing Donna, the Doctor receives a distress call from Orion XI, a space station that surely contains a mystery somewhere in its hundred floors.
But to his surprise and to his horror, to his devastation and compulsive intrigue, someone from his past is there too.
"'Professor River Song,' he says stiffly, taking a step back to breathe air that isn’t wreathed with her, choked, nauseatingly undone. (That perfume she wears—it’s floral and half-unearthly. He thinks roses and second guesses himself. Ionized lavender? Extractic vanilla? Chrynocian blooms from Atraxas? Parma violets? The inexorable, omnipresent fragrance of Time?) She’s too much—overwhelming. Alive. He deconstructs complex quantum-astrotechnical equations in his head in mere seconds and can’t quite wrap his mind around the fact that this is in her past. She’s dead and she doesn’t even know it. Can’t know it. It’s his little secret. Hush now—spoilers."
