Tom stares down at the controls probably trying to figure out which thing he needs to use first.
“Not saying I need them but instructions were written down for this machine yes?”
“Of course I do!
I can’t just wing it without knowing how it works.
That would be a disaster.”
“…”
“What types of bugs was it having exactly?”
“All of them are gone for sure?”
Tom had his eyes close during the warp and after it.
He ASSUMES he was facing the correct way when the two were out.
“So I have been informed by Shade that work on my device has finished.”
Wrong shadow.
Wrong way.
“No absolutely not.
I’d rather pretend to be my father than that workaholic.
There is no way I would be able to achieve as many eye bags that man has.”

⏤ an Ancient Time Lord can clump back together, allowing the individual to reform.
...I'm sure your brother believes in miracles.
If not, we can go with that Tenebrae fellow.❞
“Bah! I thought I did!
Then he went and chose Tim to steal my job.
Also what do you mean Tim would fall for this?
Father is dead.”
“It’s about time they finished building that.”
He responds sounding muffled.
The timelord doesn’t seem to be interested in moving from his spot.
Tom was not practicing the given role which is rather surprising for Tom as he always had an interest in theatrics, drama and acting.
He just has his head face down on the desk.
Perhaps playing the part of the one he regrets killing is souring his mood.
“My mind is completely stable thank you very much.”
Once more he does not mind his steps and trips into the spaceship again.
Tom starts listing off people.
“His shadow, dad’s shadow, Timmy, Gerg , Marina and Tenebrae.”
“The nerve of him to remove my energy signature from this!
He really thought I would never return?!”
Tom angry whisper shouting.
“We’re going to have to figure out a way to bypass this.
But how…”
Tom steps on the platform expecting it to open the door, it does not.
He steps off then steps on it again, it does not open.
He begins angrily stomping on it, still does not open.
He began insulting the mechanism, nothing.
He apologized to the mechanism, nothing.
He insults the—
Tom gets right back up, quickly brushing himself off.
He wastes no time making his way to the entrance of chamber.
What are the chances it’ll open for him?
“I know to watch my step you fool.”
…Yet the timelord still trips into the warp pad.
Somehow.
It was quite amazing and embarrassing with how he managed that.

⏤ face the Time Lord.
Getting up as the warp pad behind Tom lit up. That's the way out.
"Destination has been reached.
Do watch your step, sir."
