[video; zagreus]
Squalling children and grunting savages--this place is overrun with children and savages. Is this how this Initiative plans to fight a Time War?
[But... wait. Isn't that the Doctor? It certainly looks like him...sort of. Yet his eyes are literally glowing with a crackling, blue-white light and his voice sounds... staticky. And the expression on his face is very unlike the Doctor--cruel and twisted. Behind him is a random street, various people standing about and gawking.]
Well, not to worry. [His voice takes on a mocking tone.] I, Zagreus, will set this place right. No children, no savages, no would-be-gods, no high-and-mighty pacifists are needed, now. This place, this... Exsilium will be whittled down, bit by bit, until only those worthy of a Time War remain. Observe!
[With that, he grabs a random witness, a teenaged boy. His eyes flare, blindingly bright. The boy manages a yelp before vanishing completely. The crowd panic, fleeing.]
[Somewhere during the stampede the light in the Doctor's eyes gutters and flickers out and he moans, dropping to his knees. The netbook clatters to the ground next to him but still shows him at the right side of the screen, groaning and clutching his head. When he speaks, his voice is normal again.]
No, no no no no no no... not now, not here.... [His gaze flickers to the netbook and he scrabbles for it.] Help me, someone, please... It's trying to break free.... Zagreus is... I can't contain it much longer.... Help me....

The TARDIS has sensed the Zagreus energy... yes, I know, old girl, I thought it was gone, too, just... steady on... find me a safe spot....
[The noise continues for a few more beats before ceasing and dropping the entire room into silence. The Doctor squints at a screen.]
... Oh, come on. [Yes, he even wheedles his own TARDIS.] I don't even remember where that is. [Another screen flickers to life and displays what looks like a hypercomplicated map.] Ah. Right.
[Then another screen flickers, showing a TARDIS-eye view of the apartment's main room and Gordon, as well. The Doctor slumps a bit, appearing relieved. The more help the better.]
