[Head titling at his comment, he laughed lightly] It’s true, you do need to mettle to advance the human race. It’s something that helps progress, though failure hinders for a flicker of a moment, you people learn at an amazing curve. Evolution is a wonderful thing, it’s the same all over the universe— you see it’s all about the advancement, the strong genes survive letting new breeds rise up. The humans have been lucky, they have all the genes that allow them to survive. [Turned, leaning against the counter, allowing the tea to steep] You’re all brilliant! You want to figure things out and you give into your need to know, even though some times it turns sour. However, you always rebound. 

Survival of the fittest then. -chuckles lightly- So tell me, what other kinds of species are out there? I know we have a few higher functioning creatures other than human’s on Gaia but I would love to hear about other types of evolution.

You humans, always meddling in things. Not like I can say I’m much better. Human experimentation is not the most terrible thing I’ve seen, some other planets have stripped people of their flesh and forced them into machine, deafening their emotions and drowning their screams. It’s horrid, but as long as people learn from the mistakes and move onward with progress…not like ‘m one to judge now. [The cup was pulled from his lips, meeting the counter quietly.] Ah, but you’re writing it now! You’re making new choices and trying to make a difference. That’s brilliant and that’s all that matters, and not less about you, I have no idea about this planet! It’s amazing and so new, but a trade I suppose, information for information. I’m a man called the Doctor— and don’t think me mad, but I travel through time and space, I’ve lost my planet, and have no home, but all you really need to know: I travel. 

-smiles lightly, thoroughly amused- Humans do need to meddle in order to advance. Unless there is a better way to do so? -tops up his coffee and gestures to one of the many chairs in the lounge- Of course, I only have one planet’s history to take from. A traveller such as yourself may have seen many different types of… evolution. -sits himself upon a sofa, crossing an ankle upon his knee- I can’t see our race coming out of these experiments for years to come yet. If only for its primitive urges.

I wasn’t put in the best situation, normally I can get some readings off a planet before I land, but you lot are uncharted, new earth and breed, so I picked a story and stuck with it. My apologies for not knowing who you we’re, though I’m sure I’ve now earned my title as spaceman. [Hand reaching for the kettle and pouring himself a cup.] Perhaps that would have stalled them for a while, but you’re right a set point in time cannot be changed. Trouble, alien meddling, things that don’t belong and that nature— which is odd that I’ve never been here before, musta had quite the team to keep who ever it was at bay, I’m impressed. [Bringing the cup to his lips with a smirk.]

-waves a hand idly- It’s hardly a surprise. Our genetics department created the second coming and in a way the third as well. It was a failed experiment that rose up to the challenge. In a way it could be rather gruesome depending on what you think of human testing. -gives a small roll of his eyes- It all depends on the point of view. That particular part of our history hasn’t been written out yet. I’m interested to see if I’ll be painted as the villain or the humanitarian. But less about us, I’m more interested in knowing more about you.

Damn not regenerating ginger, I knew that would come back to bite me when I would try to woo a blond business man! [Shaking his head, laughing lightly at the other]. Normally, hermit throws everyone off, or Astrologist, they think— ‘daft man with his head in the stars’. Oooh? So you aren’t novices to foreign forms— Oh of course, one that would want to leech off the planet would be your first introduction to that big new world. I’m not here to conquer or rule, not just for the sake of my tea. I look for things, observe, and right wrongs. That’s all.

-tries to keep a straight face but ends up smiling despite himself- The issues is, even the most reclusive of people on this planet still know my name. -taps his cup lightly, nodding- Her son was no better. He had nice hair though. Perhaps if I had denied him his morning coffee he may not have tried to destroy the world. Ah but history is history now. What kinds of rights and wrongs do you look for exactly?

It may not be an exciting story, but it was still one I was painfully unware about. [Hands searching for a box of tea, finally resting on one and pulling it out]. I think you are using the term fortuante too loosely. It was fortunate for you. This will do. [Eyes fouced on the box, going through the mundane motions of bringing a kettle to boil. Dark eyes looking up, a smirk playing on his features.] Aaaah. I must be getting old if I’m that transparent. What tipped you off? My naivety about the culture or was it my fantastic hair?

-takes another sip of coffee while eyeing the man’s hair- Your hair is nice, but I prefer redheads. -laughs lightly- Even children know who I am, how I came to own this company, and my reputation. We have had alien beings on this planet before as well. She wanted to conquer the world though. I hope that’s not what you’re planning. I might have to take your tea away.

Funny how they try to influence us, shape our lives and such. The mean well too, ah, but I understand why you have to stick to coffee! A noble drink all the same. Proves you have to keep awake, or force yourself awake. [A light laugh escaped him]. Ahh, well you must take care of your motley crew, this too is perfect. Thank you, I’ll just help myself to a cup—[Moving towards the cupboard to shuffle through them] but enlighten me, how did someone so young come to possess a company like this? 

-pours himself a cup of coffee and dumps half an ether in it- It’s hardly a worth while story to share. -sips at his cup, watching the other- A fortunate untimely demise of my father and with my position as vice president the transfer was quick. -takes another sip- Which planet are you from exactly? -smirks behind the cup, waiting for a reaction-

Mhm. Well, that’s fantastic, brilliant in fact! [Follows carefully at a respectable distance, hands tucked into trouser pockets] It’s not that I don’t like it, no when it’s the only thing I have— I make a mean pot of instant coffee. However, many of my former colleagues, long before I was declared a traveling hermit, have all been tea drinkers and I suppose it sticks with you, but I’ll drink coffee if it’s sweet enough. 

I suppose I can understand that. My… mentor tried to get me to drink tea when I was younger. I would stick with it for a week or so before my headaches would start up again and coffee became necessary  -taps his temple lightly- Here we are. -opens the door to the lounge and heads right for the coffee bar- Feel free to search for whatever you like. If it’s here you’re more than welcome to it. There seems to be a lack of stock though.

[Chuckles lightly, a slight change in lilt] Once again— yeeeah, but ‘m a bit strange, I travel round to observe and learn, I normally stay out of large cities— or I try to…In all my luck for the last few years that hasn’t happened, but I don’t stay for long, so I’ve been dubbed a hermit, not on my own, but by others. [Features relaxing, another small smile settling on his features] Coffee, never been a big drinker, more of a tea man. But! I cannot pass up  coffee with the owner of this beautiful building! 

Tea. -pushes off his desk, coffee cup in hand- We have that. At least, I think we do. -heads for the door, bound for the Turk lounge- What about coffee don’t you like? I have a Turk that could make something to suit your tastes.
