( For decades Rory had toyed with the idea of visiting Leadworth, but he had never found the time. Work kept him busy and he also didn't have access to a car. It was just a thought that he kept on the mental back burner; something to revisit once every few years. But then he had noticed the date the other day and it was a notion he couldn't put off any longer. )

( Maybe it was because of his injuries - he had never been this badly hurt before - but as Rory slipped away he felt something inside him take over. A trace of his Auton conditioning, maybe, his default setting. His right hand snapped in half, exposing the gun hidden inside. )

( "So you're going to change history? Can you do that?" Rory thought of the Doctor's parting advice before he hopped into the future. He hadn't done well in the "staying out of trouble" department, but causing trouble was completely different. He had let history run its course, more or less, even when it could have used some changing. )

( "Is the killer a-" Rory stopped himself before he could say "Silurian". He wasn't sure if the term was derogatory, but Vastra clearly had no love for it. "One of your kind?" )

( Could he tell Harkness everything? About Amy, and the Doctor, and the real reason they were no stars in the sky? He'd understand the mechanics of it all, no doubt, but did he have to know? Maybe Captain Jack Harkness better off thinking the same, old tired myths about the Pandorica and its protector. )

( Rory stood there, too stunned for words. He was a holding of the Crown? That made him no better than common property. He was practically a slave again. )

( Rory gripped the armrests of his chair, causing the wood to creak. Nearly a century of waiting, of being separated from the Pandorica and Amy, and all because the Monarch didn't want the Pandorica in England. It was nice and safe in the colony where everyone was polite and no one rebelled. )

( Rory had only seen this once before, and it hadn't been as spectacular then. The light was coming from the Pandorica. The complex lines within the circles rotated and moved, uncoiling like parts in a lock. The box was opening. )
