Summary
“All visitors to the colony,” Reeves was saying, bright and bubbly and setting Jamie’s teeth on edge – “are required to have Shards implanted.”
Something inside Jamie snapped, the tight leash on his own dread breaking, letting ice flood through his veins. There was no controlling his breathing now, his heart thundering so furiously in his chest that he was sure it must be audible to the rest of the room. Vaguely, he was aware of his lower jaw trembling, each gulp of air increasingly unsteady.
The Shard – the very thing they’d been sent here to investigate, the thing the Time Lords didn’t trust – these people expected them to have it stuck into their heads?
Recently reunited, the Doctor and Jamie have been sent to the colony of Sora - but getting inside the colony reveals to Jamie exactly why the Time Lords have brought him back to the Doctor.

Summary
“Ah – no, I’m not worried -” Jamie opened his mouth to protest, but when the Doctor glanced up, nothing was written across his face but open curiosity. “I was simply – wondering.”
“Wonderin’?” Jamie echoed. “About Jimmy?”
“Yes – well, ah, about you, as a matter of fact.” There it was again, the tiny purse of his lips, the pinch of a frown over the bridge of his nose. The Doctor was watching him like he was a puzzle that might slot into place if only he stared hard enough. “Were you – were you in love with him, by any chance?”
Jamie couldn’t help but laugh at that, high and thin and humourless. An uneasy sort of surprise prickled down his spine, cold and shuddering, enough to drown out the twinge in his head.
“Are ye jealous of a dead man?” he needled in return.
With the Shard removed and his memories returned, Jamie finds that remembering isn't always straightforward.
