小房间现在是设备森林。自从鹰被克隆以来已经过去了几个月。拉萨拉(Rasala)将两个新的原型Tartis和Gallifrey命名为Who Dr. Who博士的主角,这是公共电视上的科幻节目的主角。这两台新机器是第一个使用正常的全速220纳秒时钟运行的机器。拉萨拉(Rasala)解释说,像谁博士一样,这些新原型的目的是“征服时间”。磁带正在旋转。到处都有磁盘驱动器。
(The little room was a forest of equipment now. A couple of months had passed since Eagle had been cloned. Rasala had named the two new prototypes Tartis and Gallifrey, after the home planet and time machine of Dr. Who, the protagonist of a science fiction show on public TV. The two new machines were the first to run with the normal, full-speed 220-nanosecond clock. Like Dr. Who, Rasala explained, the purpose of these new prototypes was "to conquer time." Mag tapes were spinning. There were disk drives everywhere.)
