human tardis form how to stat it i know that in some of the new adventures books and big finish audio plays they have the docotr with a advance tardis the type 102. www.whoniverse.net/tardis/familiars. that takes on human form how would one do this and it was also said that the 102 could breed with a bull tardis. ( iwould asume that is a male tardia as the type 102 the doctor had was described as female) and how would you explane Tardis mating to the players what eoulf be the efects game wise if you were in the trdis ( lets keep this pg-13 for love of our sanity) ps this has more info on it www.whoniverse.net/tardis/102formPS PS www.whoniverse.net/tardis/103aform the type 103 also could take on human from ps ps ps it gose on to the page called end of the line

This is the write-up for Compassion that I did a few years ago:
Note though that I wrote the above before The Time Traveller's Companion was released, so these days I'd use the TARDIS design rules and traits from that.

I've revised Compassion's stats in line with The Time Traveller's Companion. It looks like traits such as Bigger on the Inside, Environmental and Shapeshift aren't needed, presumably as they're standard features of TARDISes. I have however introduced a new TARDIS trait of Pseudo-Biological Outer Shell.
COMPASSION: TYPE 102 TARDIS
ATTRIBUTES: Awareness: 4 Coordination: 4 Ingenuity: 4 Presence: 3 Resolve: 4 Strength: 6
SKILLS: Convince 1, Fighting 2, Knowledge 8, Marksman 4, Medicine 1, Science 6 (AoE: Temporal Physics), Subterfuge 3, Survival 5, Technology 4 (AoE: Computers), Transport 4
TRAITS: Adversary (Major) – The Time Lords Clairvoyance Cyborg Fast Healing (Major) Feel the Turn of the Universe Immortal Natural Weapon (Minor) – Electric shock: S(S/S/S) damage Natural Weapon (Major) – Artron pulse: L(4/L/L) damage Photographic Memory Pseudo-Biological Outer Shell (see below) Psychic Resourceful Pockets Run for Your Life! Sense of Direction Telepathy Vortex Argumentative Code of Conduct (Minor) Restriction (Special) – Randomiser: While this is installed, Compassion has a -8 penalty on attempts to reach any specific destination
GADGET TRAITS: Forcefield (Major) Scan x4 Transmit Delete – Compassion’s array of TARDIS, planet and star busting weaponry can remove just about any object from existence in one way or another, so the controls for them are probably best left undiscovered and unused
ARMOUR: 30 points SPEED: 15 (materialised) TECH LEVEL: 10 STORY POINTS: 20
PSEUDO-BIOLOGICAL OUTER SHELL [Major Good TARDIS Trait]
A TARDIS with this trait has an external appearance in the form of a moving, talking, living being, usually humanoid in form and indistinguishable from the real thing. Combined with its chameleon circuit, the TARDIS can change its appearance and gain or lose traits such as Attractive, Distinctive, Face in the Crowd, Unattractive and even Alien Appearance at will. It may also take on a TARDIS’s more traditional inanimate disguises if it or its operator so wishes. In order for operators and passengers to be able to enter or exit the TARDIS, a door opens up along a crack which appears vertically in the middle of its body, widening with each half of its humanoid face and body on either side. This trait reduces the TARDIS’s Story Points total by 2.
Clearly, some of the above traits are unique to Compassion, and other humanoid TARDISes such as Lolita (the Type 101) and the Type 103s that came after Compassion would each be slightly different.

My notes from my TARDIS Tech Index on the Type 101 TARDIS 101 Form TARDIS: aka Lolita Around the time the law prohibiting interbreeding between Gallifreyans and Lesser Species is revoked, the idea of cross breeding of TARDISes became accepted as long as its supported preparations for the coming Time War. There were many reasons for this change in point of view, but most significantly, the Time Lords had come to realize that their TT Capsules were not as invulnerable as they had once thought. Advanced seismic detectors could easily locate a TARDIS, even one that was buried deep underground. The Daleks and other temporal powers had developed Space/Time Scopes that allow them to pinpoint the space-time location of a known TARDIS and track their disturbance in the Space-Time Continuum or the Vortex. Osirians, such as Sutekh had enough power to singlehandedly hold of entire time-fleet of War TARDISes. It was also known that it took only 3 Daleks to create a chronon loop that would disable a TARDIS’s transpower system, effectively trapping it in a temporal prison. Without power the exo-shell’s defenses would fail and would be no stronger then the object it was disguised as. The Daleks had also armed their DARDIS TT Capsules with Temporal Disruptors that could severely damage a TARDIS from a distance. Their Time Destructors were capable of rupturing the exo-shell of TARDIS. To combat this, a new breed of timeship was commissioned by the more progressive elements of the Time Lords. The Lord President named it the 101-Project. While the Type 51’s Cybernetic Personality Matrix Interface represented an attempt to create a TARDIS that could communicate with its Time Lord as a fully interactive being, its marginal success was achieved only by creating a third mediator entity. The 101-Project had the goal of augmenting the sentient matrix of a TARDIS’s Protyon Core to be able to comprehend both the three dimensional and five dimensional worlds. Research began 137 years before the beginning of the Time War. A TARDIS that is fully sentient in humanoid terms would not only be able to be trusted with advanced offensive systems, it would be able to use its 5 dimensional predictive abilities to directly aid the Time Lord within the material universe – a true omni-species. Deciding to build on the interactive intelligence possessed by Validium, the first attempt to create a 101 Form capsule was the upgrading of one of the 13 hybrid TARDIS created by the Halfling Project . The Type 45 Model B TARDIS that belonged to the Master was chosen for this experimental refit. The Master made numerous changes to the Heart of the timeship, and her Protyon Core was programmed with heavy-duty biodata waldoes. The Type 45 saw these modifications as a fulfillment of her destiny as predicted by her mother, the Matrix. She was the first (and to date only) one of the 13 Halflings to achieve this destiny. The 101 project took much longer then expected, which resulted in the commissioning of the Type 90 and Type 91 models. After 118 years the 101 Form was re-born. She survived her birth but the screaming terrified timeship that resulted was completely beyond the Time Lords’ control. She attacked them with strands of biodata and tore at space-time in a desperate attempt to free herself from her Cradle. The 101-Form would later be regarded as the first renegade TARDIS.
Officially the 101 Form was, with great effort, destroyed, but in actuality the ship escaped and assumed the form of a female Gallifreyan. She took on the identity of a Time Lady known as Lolita (possibly a play on “101ita”). She formed an alliance with House Tracolix and, about five decades after the start of the Time War, she became the founding Grandmother of House Lolita. After founding the house Lolita began breeding with lesser speices. She gave birth to at least one baby TARDIS. And shortly after that she was impregnated with another. Lolita would be key agent in working to fulfill the Matrix’s plans for the Timeships and the Time Lords. She single handedly destroyed the Eleven Day Empire of Faction Paradox. Lolita planned to reveal her full capabilities to the Time Lords when the circumstances were such that they would be unable to stop her. At that point she would take control of the Great Houses of the Time Lords and fulfill the Matrix’s plans. Fortunately, she was destroyed a little over 50 years after the start of the Time War, in an altercation between the Time Lords, Faction Paradox, and the Osirians.

My notes on the Type 102 102 Form Timeship: aka Type 102, Compassion V, Laura Tobin V Laura Tobin V was a human companion of created on Anathema in the 20th century. She later became a traveling companion of the Time Lord known as the Doctor. She had a Faction Paradox designed receiver that was neurologically hardwired into any signal she would receive. It was capable of picking up very obscure deep-level frequencies. The Doctor hooked the receiver into his Type 40 TARDIS so that the timeship would screen and filter all the signals she received. Unknown to the TARDIS's crew the timeship had decided to become the mother of the first 102-Form. The Ship began narrowcasting its programming to Laura in order to rebuild her biodata. At a moment of crisis Laura Tobin’s human form was re-sculpted into the first and only 102-Form TARDIS. She was the first fully successful human / timeship hybrid . From this point forward she referred to herself only as Compassion. Like the other 100-Forms she is capable of communicating directly with 3-dimensional beings (such as Gallifreyans or Humans) as well as 5-dimensional beings (such as other models of TARDIS). Her Central Cortex Element is made up of huge canyons of information storage systems filled with memory acid. This memory acid is semi-aware and self-repairing. Part of her mind is organic and functions as a 4 dimensional anchor into Normal-Space. She has subsystems devoted to interpersonal dynamics. With these she can predict every thought in a lesser species mind with an accuracy of 1.3 millifreuds. The 102-Form has most, if not all, of the capabilities of a Type 40 TT Capsule. This includes the special enhancements give to the 13 Halfling Project, as well as many of the custom modifications the Doctor had made to her mother (the Doctor’s Type 40). Most notably, Compassion not dependent on the presences of an operator with Symbiotic Nuclei in order to enter the Vortex. Many of her capabilities are far superior to not only Type 40s, but even the later War Timeships. She can cross the Universe in a day and cover over 300 billion years in an attosecond. One of the few deficiencies was found in her Environmental Systems. Her interior is only big enough to carry several thousand people. However she is capable of exerting total physical control over her passengers. While Compassion usually assumed an external appearance that resembled her original humanoid form she was capable of blending into a time zone by reshaping her exo-shell to match the local inhabitants. In her default appearance she is a human female who is 1.64 meters tall. She has dark red hair and facial freckles.
Like her mother timeship, Compassion is equipped with a Validium weapon module. When the module is activated a brass spike extends from the console and form a set of concentric rings symbolizing a targeting reticule. This lever has only to be pulled down to fire the weapon. Using the weapon module to focus fire, the Validium was capable of discharging devastating red pulses of energy. The pulses could destroy even a War TARDIS if the target’s defenses had been weakened. With sustained bombardment these pulses could reduce a planetoid to rubble. The system draws energy from the transpower system and the enhanced power of Compassion’s 102 Form Heart allowed it to trigger nova’s in stars.
Indeed the power of her Heart was independent of the Prime Eye of Harmony on Gallifrey and she accumulated most of her energy by swallowing nova and draining their energy, leaving only a neutronium snowballs. It is rumored that she is equipped with several other precision-capable ranged weapons and many of her abilities surpassed that of the future 103-Form timeships. Unlike later forms of TARDIS, Compassion had the power to simultaneously deactivate all the TT Capsules on Gallifrey.
After her re-birth as a Timeship Compassion realized that the Time Lords would want her multidimensional mass for breeding stock, With the aid of the Doctor and a Randomizer he installed, she fled the Great Houses of Gallifrey. An attempt to capture her inadvertently led to the Battle of Mutter's Cluster and the destruction of the first Gallifrey of the Time War. She aided the Doctor in rescuing a copy of the Matrix files and the Time Lord Technician Nivet who had designed the Type 90 and 91 War TARDISes.
Almost immediately afterwards the War King of another Gallifrey rescued her from a null-probability field and she agreed to assist in the 103-Form breeding program . A decade into the Time War she again worked with the War King to open up a “second front” in the Time War. Beleiving that the Daleks were a mere distraction Compassion arranges for the eventual destruction of Lolita .
Compassion’s good relations with the Time Lords did not to last. Five decades into the War the House Military had orders to sterilize any world she was found on. Compassion’s numerous exploits become legendary among the factions involved in the Time War and many time aware species classified her as a Subversive Influence.
* Created out of a hybrid of the bio-formed human Laura Tobin V and the narrowcast signals of a Type 40 timeship . * Almost certainly uses Old High Gallifreyan as the programming code for its Artron Mainframe. * Probably has a copy of the Record of Rassilon * Contains Validium in the cronoplasm of her exo-shell. * Equipped with a Validium Weapon Module. * Was capable of thinking and communicating like a living growing biological creature. * Can predict every thought in a lesser species mind with an accuracy of 1.3 millifreuds. * Can drain novas for energy. * Has complete physical control over any lesser species who enters her. * Pedestrian Infrastructure can only transport several thousand humanoids. * Can assume the appearance of the local inhabitants of a time zone in order to blend in. * Probably required regular Chameleon Conversions to keep the Camouflage Unit from freezing up . * Possesses a Symbiotic Bypass * Can cross the Universe in a day and cover over 300 billion years in an attosecond. * Can have objects keyed into her Dematerialization Matrix, allowing her to dematerialize and rematerialize them at will regardless of the distance between herself and the object. * Can deactivate any pre-100 model TARDIS within several thousand miles. * Involved in the first battles of the Time War, both at Dronid and Mutter’s Cluster. * Mother of the first generation of 103-Form Timeships * Opened a second front in the Time War against the renegade timeship Lolita . * Considered by many factions of the Time War to be a terrorist and a renegade.

My notes on the Type 103 103 Form Model B Hominid-Sentient Timeship: aka Type 103 With the completion of the experimental Model A 103-Form the Time Lords began breeding a Model B War TARDIS that would used to fight in the Time War. Like Antipathy, these TARDISes were produced through "organic" mating of the 102-Form and specially constructed bull-TARDIS Engines. While the mating process usually took place inside the time spiral of the space-time vortex the near-infinite micro-universes were quickly removed from their mother’s planet sized womb. The infants were suspended in pan-dimensional boxes and allowed to grow their first power cells. After providing the Time Lords with sufficient breeding stock, Compassion left Gallifrey to continue her travels. Like most mother Timeships, she never saw her children again. Her affection for these offspring was, however, undisputed. For the first decade of these timeships’ lives even the most basic forms of movement were prevented. Through a viewport the technicians observed them until the timeships learned to communicate. At this point they 103-forms were informed that they could not be released until they had learned self-control. Like Antipathy, many of these children rebelled at this, sometimes for years at a time. But in the end, under the supervision of the Time Lords, priming protocols, developed while studying the Familiars, produced an obedient time travel capsule. While Antipathy was male all Model B 103-Forms had XX circuits installed in their corridors (and almost all of their bonded Time Lords are male). After this several other pieces of excitonic circuitry was installed, including a Chameleon Circuit. Like Compassion, each 103-Form has a name, such as Marie or Percival. These names were chosen by the newly released capsules at a formal Naming Ceremony. It is at that ceremony that they are finally allowed to take on a Gallifreyan appearance – though it often took the timeships several weeks to perfect the details. v War-TARDISes have all the interpretive, adaptive and responsive intelligence of normal TARDISes, but with enhanced aggression. They had most of the features of the 102-Form, but some of their capabilities were deliberately altered and blunted with the dwarf-star-alloy tools, to make them less powerful then Compassion. Like their mother, they are capable of communicating directly with 3-dimensional beings (such as Gallifreyans or Humans) as well as 5-dimensional beings (such as other models of TARDIS). Part of their minds are organic and function as a 4 dimensional anchor into Normal-Space. The Central Cortex Element were made up of huge canyons of information storage systems filled with memory acid. This memory acid is semi-aware and self-repairing. The 103’s subsystems devoted to interpersonal dynamics. With these she can predict every thought in a lesser species mind with an accuracy of 1.3 millifreuds. The 103’s could accumulate energy by triggering novas in stars, swallowing them, and draining their energy, leaving only a neutronium snowballs. Like their mother, they can cross the Universe in a day and cover over 300 billion years in an attosecond. The 103-Form units traditionally blend into a time zone by reshaping her exo-shell to match the appearance of the local inhabitants. Their exo-shells are limited to roughly humanoid sized forms. Due to having a grandmother that was a Type 40 the Chameleon Circuits of the 103’s would often jam in a particular shape and require frequent chameleon conversions to repair. They are all equipped with traditional precision-capable ranged weapons, including the ability to cause local stars to go nova. They were also outfitted with many of the temporal weapons and defenses found on Type 90 and Type 91 War TARDISes. They can tractor a more primitive TARDIS out of the Vortex, forcing it back into Normal Space. The male/female breeding system ensures that each 103-Form has a mutagenic factor to make them less vulnerable to manipulation at the hands of the Time Lord's enemies. This has the effect of introducing “genetic” quirks into the breed, such that no two timeships were ever completely identical. Some Time Lords found the idea of TARDIS evolution to be disturbing but these 103-Form TARDISes quickly proved themselves to be the most essential and useful weapon the Time Lords had in the War. The House Military was anxious to grow as many as possible. Breeding facilities were set up in many locations including the Fortress world of Many of Simia KK98 and within a few decades became the most common TARDIS.
Each 103-Form required neural-linking with a Time Lord pilot in order to enter the Vortex. While some saw the roles of these “organic drones” as little more then maintenance, in truth the Time Lord and Timeship existed in a true symbiotic relationship – each one was the companion of the other. The 103-Form provides its Time Lord with protection and a physical home, and an operator provides a 103-Form with a social/political foundation and frame work as well as access to all of space and time. The neural-linkage actual grounds and anchors the timeship’s personality. A whole new culture and vocabulary was created to deal with Time Lord/TARDIS interaction. For example a 103’s choice of name was often considered to be a good or bad omen. The fully sentient and interactive TARDISes created during the Time War are some times called Type 100s (Type 101, 105, etc...) but are more properly referred to a Form 101 or Form 103 etc…
Like other War Timeships, the 103-Forms were organized into Fleets of at least 1,000 ships. Each fleet is subdivided into Centuries of 100 War TARDISes. There are at least 59 time-fleets, all numbered. A Time Fleet can extinguish even a well protected star. Despite (perhapse because of) these accommodations, many 103-Forms would become renegades during the Time War.
* Conceived within the space-time vortex and raised on bases and colony worlds of the Time Lords. * Born from a union of a bull-TARDIS Engines and other 100-Form timeships . * Choose their own names after more then a decade gestating in a pan-dimensional box. * Almost certainly uses Old High Gallifreyan as the programming code for its Artron Mainframe. * Possess all the interpretive, adaptive and responsive intelligence of normal TARDIS, but with enhanced aggression. * Are capable of thinking and communicating like a living growing biological creature. * Can predict every thought in a lesser species mind with an accuracy of 1.3 millifreuds. * Can drain novas for energy. * Has complete physical control over any lesser species who enters them. * Pedestrian Infrastructure can only transport several thousand humanoids. * Designed to assume the appearance of the local inhabitants of a time zone in order to blend in. * Exo-shells limited to roughly humanoid sized forms. * Required regular Chameleon Conversions to keep the Camouflage Unit from freezing up . * Can cross the Universe in a day and cover over 300 billion years in an attosecond. * Equipped with a Chaotic Limiter * Can have objects keyed into their Dematerialization Matrix, allowing them to dematerialize and rematerialize them at will regardless of the distance between the ship and the object. * Has Tribophysical Waveform Macrokinetic Extrapolator based Force-Field. * Equipped with a Tuckson-Jacker Energy Weapon * Equipped with a Artron Cannon * Equipped with a Vortex Lance * Time Warp Silos can launch Earthshock Bombs, Time Torpedoes, Klypstromic Warheads and Doomsday Probes. * Organized into Fleets of at least 1,000 ships and subdivided into Centuries of 100. * They are the most essential weapon and prolific timeship the Time Lords had in the first century of the Time War

My notes on the Type 105 105 Time Dreadnought: aka Type 105 Five centuries years after the beginning of hostilities, the Time Lords were starting to lose the Time War. By this point the enemy could detect any grouping of 12 or more timeships and was capable of mounting an attack on that time zone. While the 103 and 104 Forms coutinued to be produced it the House Military took its mandate to a new level with the 105-Form Time Dreadnought. Like the 104-Form, the Type 105 was rumored to possess recidivist genes from the original 102-Form that had been re-activated to make the breed more powerful. Also, like the 104, the 105s were designed to be both male and female. Certainly they were significantly more advanced then the 103. Time Dreadnoughts were designed to aggressively fight the Daleks. Each Time Dreadnought was equipped with hundreds of copies of Gallifrey's Prime Eye of Harmony, allowing them to carry and discharge hundreds of times as much power. In order to combat the enemy’s ability to detect multiple materializations, the 105 was capable of extending itself simultaneously through every point in the space and time noosphere of the Time Lords. This allowed one single capsule to deliver the offensive power to hundreds TARDISes to any point at the spiral politic. The downside of this tactic is that the Dreadnought could be attacked by any temporal weapon located anywhere in space and time. This drawback lead to tactics of overwhelming violence to ensure that no counter strike was possible. To this end the Time Dreadnought was equipped with a massive Time Destructor. Powered by the mineral Taranium and the hundreds of Eyes and these Eyes, this weapon could erase an entire star system from history and easily rupture the exo-shell of a TARDIS. * The first Time Dreadnought * Designed to directly combat the Daleks Time Saucers and DARDIS capsules. * Conceived within the space-time vortex and raised on bases and colony worlds of the Time Lords. * Included both male and female models * Rumored to possess powerful recidivist genes from the original 102-Form * Possess all the interpretive, adaptive and responsive intelligence of normal TARDIS, but with enhanced aggression * Are capable of thinking and communicating like a living growing biological creature * Powered by hundreds of block-transfer copies of the Eye of Harmony. * Has complete physical control over any lesser species who enters them. * Capable of accessing all space-time points within the Time Lords’ Noosphere of understanding * Equipped with a Chaotic Limiter * Can have objects keyed into their Dematerialization Matrix, allowing them to dematerialize and rematerialize them at will regardless of the distance between the ship and the object. * Has Tribophysical Waveform Macrokinetic Extrapolator based Force-Field. * Primary weapons consisted of a massive Time Destructor. * Equipped with a Tuckson-Jacker Energy Weapon * Equipped with a Artron Cannon * Equipped with a Vortex Lance * Time Warp Silos can launch Earthshock Bombs, Time Torpedoes, Klypstromic Warheads and Doomsday Probes. * Involved in several crossbreeding experiments with earlier models of TARDIS.

You do need to remember (if my information is correct) however that (a) Compassion eventually leaves the doctor (she was I believe a human who became a TARDIS rather than a TARDIS that merely assumed human form) and he goes back to the old Type 40 tardis, (b) she was the only form 102 TARDIS (and the most powerful to ever exist) and (c) that there was a major design philosophy change for the 103/104/105 TARIDS's. That is while they were far more powerful than the older models because they were bred to be sentient and that powerful the time lords deliberately hobbled and crippled their abilities (which considering how much stronger they still were say's a lot). This meant most of them didn't like time lords and a lot of then went rogue during the time war. The first 103 actually ate his operators, allied with the dalek's and then tried to kill his mother and faction paradox before being eliminated.
Basically this means your highly unlikely to be travelling in compassion and if you are in a 103, 104, 105 model (all of which had the ability to assume a humanoid usually galifreyan form) there's a very good roleplaying aspect in your trying to convince the powerful, sentient being your race crippled at birth that maybe you can be a friend rather than an annoying necessity to travelling in time and space.
EDIT Does explain why most of the "special" tardis's were argumentive I know I wouldn't be that happy with a species who deliberately crippled me and my siblings at birth. I understand the form 103B's also had a tendency for the chameleon circuit to stick like it did on the type 40's although that may just be them asserting their independance by only assuming a form they liked.

You do need to remember (if my information is correct) however that (a) Compassion eventually leaves the doctor (she was I believe a human who became a TARDIS rather than a TARDIS that merely assumed human form) and he goes back to the old Type 40 tardis, (b) she was the only form 102 TARDIS (and the most powerful to ever exist) and (c) that there was a major design philosophy change for the 103/104/105 TARIDS's. That is while they were far more powerful than the older models because they were bred to be sentient and that powerful the time lords deliberately hobbled and crippled their abilities (which considering how much stronger they still were say's a lot).

Ace Dorothée immediately picked out an alien wearing a shimmer like holographic disguise because the image the shimmer was projecting was that of a porn star... An option there for causing some interesting interactions with the locals. Was the choice of the image an accident? Cultural misunderstanding? Or a cry for help by a kidnapped human.

upon reading about the "human/galifreyan" humanoid form tardisis.....im seeing some corelations and possiple inspirations for the Justice Machines "Tessalecta" travel machines?
or am i jsut reading too much into that? /grin
also seeing how that might explain the "time travelers companion" stats on the {Advanced Tardis } models having significantly lower attributes , esp in the awareness and sentience areas....could the "traveler companion" models be a return to actual Tardis "types" using standard tardis creation methods to recreate/ emulate some of the better ....but yet MUCH MORE CONTROLLED versions of the "Form" types of tardis? ie..goin back to a more retro "mechanical" way of Tardis creation, away from the Form versions in order to establish finer control over the tardis and still have what the timelords considered the best of the "form" variant tech?

Well TARDISes often have a crew of 6, so you could have Time War missions being undertake very much like the Tessalecta, with all the Time Lords hiding inside the TARDIS for the entirety of the mission but still taking an active part in events.
"could the "traveler companion" models be a return to actual Tardis "types" using standard tardis creation methods to recreate/ emulate some of the better ....but yet MUCH MORE CONTROLLED versions of the "Form" types of tardis?"
The Form 100s were considered to be one of the most effective weapons the Time Lords had during the War so I doubt they'd limit them without a reason. But some Faction Paradox stories hint that the 100's could get rebellious and want their own freedom. So maybe that led to more restricted versions? [less Lore, more Data?]
I can certainly see the Time Lords going back to more traditional designs once they escape from the Moment and the War is over.
