"Yes, and no." The Doctor turns now, intently looking at Ikki. "It'll tear their defenses apart, disable their ability to fight back, and bring the fort down around them. But it won't kill them. I don't kill people if I can help it."

[uccellodifuoco]

"I don't make a sport out of killing either, but I'm not going to refrain in the fight. Specially when the enemy isn't going to fail on their aim to kill us;" he returns the look with the same intensity, he won't go chasing down them and killing them like rats but he's not going to work on avoiding it.

His eyes fall on his hands, covered with the Phoenix Cloth, the next words aren't exactly meant for the other guy, but to the Cloth itself. "However you look at it, this fight isn't going to be for anything but personal motivations, you know."

[lonelygod]

"Oh I don't intend to fight them. That would imply that they have a chance at winning. I intend to make certain that they know just who they're dealing with. When someone makes a conflict personal with me, I don't even give them the opportunity to fight back." He turns to the sword he's fiddling with again and begins sonic-ing in a few more wires.

"I'm going to make them understand just what it is to stand against a Time Lord."

[uccellodifuoco]

"Now, that's a plan I like;" the words come as a surprise, but they also amuse him, how come the ones that seem less the violent type are often the worst opponents to anger? It reminds him of his brother, except that Shun probably wouldn't be able to muster such a tone of finality in his words, nor such anger. There's also the spark of curiosity and expectation, for what this man may be able to do, for how much power he may have. Ikki's not a man of technology and inventions, but he's not enough of a fool to not expect something big from the other, not after such words.

It's not his intention to divert from the matter at hand, but there's something else that the other says that he can't let go without questioning, even now. "A Time Lord? Like Chronos, the God of Time?"

[lonelygod]

"Good. Pass me that box of wires, would you?" He's already turning back to his work, but he doesn't mean to disregard the other man. This just requires a bit of focus to get it done properly.

"Ah...no," comes a somewhat amused answer. "I'm no god. I'm someone that gods are scared to cross. You'll probably find it easier to think of me as an alien time traveler from a civilization of highly advanced technology. My people were the inhabitants of Gallifrey, a planet you've probably never heard of. It's far, far away and it's been gone a long time. I'm the last one left. And I'm the Doctor, by the way."

He'll answer questions, but he's gotten to the point now where it's easiest to just lay all that out at once.

[uccellodifuoco]

Ikki looks around for the box the other asks for before passing it to him without a word, he isn't a genius or very intelligent as far as he's concerned, but it doesn't take one to be able to understand that the other is working. And when you're working you can't waste your time on other people, at least not by giving them your full attention.

"Gods are scared to cross you? Is godslaying among your abilities or something?" There's no amusement on his tone, or incredulity, it's a very serious and purposed question. As the other says, the name of Gallifrey means little to Ikki, and it probably doesn't matter since it's gone now by what the Doctor says.

"Phoenix Ikki;" his name though he doesn't note it and could very well be just a couple of random words thrown to the wind. "I heard about you, and heard you when you built that mix between a motor and a toaster. Must be hard to be stuck with this limited technology here given your story."

[lonelygod]

"I told you, I don't kill things. But I've driven away or banished or timelocked or outsmarted all sorts of them. They usually try and avoid involving me in any conflict of theirs now." he replies in a flat tone. He's not bragging, he's just telling the truth. Taking some of the wires, he begins running the screwdriver over them and the sword, creating a sort of U-shaped addition to the hilt.

"Yeah, that was me. And...yes, I suppose. It's not the worst place I've been in though, since it has some of the more basic things. I'd rather have my TARDIS, but then I suppose with that it wouldn't be much of an adventure, honestly. So, I'll make due with what I've got. 'Course, after all this I'm not sure it won't be getting more difficult. Going to have to come up with a better way to defend the ship, after all."

[uccellodifuoco]

"Hn, I wish they would do the same in my world. There they still enjoy using humans as their pawns and cannon fodder;" and it didn't seem as if things would change any time soon. Not just Chronos' prank, but there was still the issue of those amazons who had attacked Athena and Shun. He hadn't been able to track them back to their origin, but he had some suspicious, and they all lead to another deity.

He watches the Doctor as he works, assuming that the TARDIS is a spaceship or something similar given what the man talked about previously. "I'm not used to having to defend, my speciality is the attack. Couldn't you make a shield or something like that?"

[lonelygod]

"Too overt," he replies immediately, "If we're involved in a fight then we're going about it all wrong. I was thinking more along the lines of a selective perception filter. That should do nicely, but it'll take a lot more work than...well...a motor."

[uccellodifuoco]

"Selective perception filter... In simple words that would be that they wouldn't see us, right? At least not intentionally, so basically like an illusion;" but he can see how that would take more work than a motor. Specially for something so big.

[lonelygod]

"Something like that, yes. More...well...more like they just wouldn't register that they'd seen us. They'd just ignore us. Unless, of course we were meaning to harm them." He won't do cloaking devices. No.

[uccellodifuoco]

Ikki hums as he thinks of that before he nods. "What would you need for that? If the Navy have the blessings of this world's governments they may have the most advanced technology here, or other islands may."

/just throws out random things.

[lonelygod]

"Oh, mostly loads and loads of scrap. I mean, I can make it out of junk, it'll just take a lot of trial and error. Wires, light bulbs, that sort of thing sure. And crystals. Quartz is best, but diamonds will do."

best way to do things

[uccellodifuoco]

"That last part sounds as if we are going to need to go treasure hunting for a while after all;" good thing they are pirates. "What are you exactly preparing for them?"

[lonelygod]

"Magnets."

That's it. No other explanation. Just that.

[uccellodifuoco]

"The ones that attract metals?" Just making sure that it's the type of magnets he knows.

[lonelygod]

"Yes, of course."

[uccellodifuoco]

Ikki arches an eyebrow and frowns again, trying to see how that could cause the amount of damage or the reactions, the Doctor spoke about. After a while he gives up with a groan; "I can't see it. Even if you make one big enough to attract the metal doors there, it would be too big for it to be useful. And if the bullets are made of metal as the ones used on the ambush they are going to fly towards you easily."

[lonelygod]

"That," the Doctor replies with a wave of a finger, "is because you've never seen me do something with magnets. Or much of anything short of an engine. Bullets don't really like strong fields, and I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you don't know a whole lot about manipulating polarity, right? Right. Well. Just you wait and see."

[uccellodifuoco]

"Certainly, those things aren't my thing. Never went to school to begin with, and I wasn't expected to be smart, only strong;" Ikki hums, amused as he looks at the other work. "I will have to pay attention to what you do when we get there then."

[lonelygod]

"That you will," the Doctor says with a nod. "Just be careful and try and avoid getting between me and any of the gates. I won't have tested it, but I'd hate to hit you by accident."

[uccellodifuoco]

"Noted, will make sure to keep myself far from the gates until you're done;" and then get in and search for their crewmates.
