[Friend/Acquaintance Filter- this is SUPER generous. If you’ve EVER had a decent conversation with her, consider yourself on it.]

Once upon a time… [She laughs a bit here.] Now that just sounds silly, doesn’t it? I always wanted to live in a fairy tale, but…well, the last one I went to wasn’t exactly what I thought it would be. But I always did that at one point in my life. Think of things as better than they really are, I mean.

This place has changed me. Not…for the better, either. I don’t think that way anymore. And…that’s no me.

So I’m leaving. And I really wish I could stay, but I let this place break me. Something I saw coming a long time ago, honestly. I’ll miss you all, but I need to face my life again. Or at least attempt it.

[Infirmary Filter]

It's been a pleasure working with all of you. I know that we have seen our ups and down and that you will continue to see those ups and downs, even after I'm gone. The infirmary has been a source of pride for me and a way for me to go and escape. Just don't forget why we're all really here- to help people. That's it. That's all we have to do.

I'm sorry to leave you right before something happens- but that's just it...something always happens. There will never be a good time. But you're all capable doctors and healers of some kind. You can face whatever happens.

[Private to Four]

Can I ask for one last ride, Doctor?

[Private to O’Brien]

Last chance, comrade. I’m not going to play anymore.

Aliens like me or aliens like three heads and two noses?

Or blue aliens. [She laughed and let ago, skipping ahead of him.]

[The Doctor pushed open the door to the TARDIS, smiling all the while. He walks to the console and starts flipping some switches, watching at the console comes to life.]

You know, I think I know a planet with blue aliens. We can head there.

[She watched him idly, knowing better than to get in the way. But when he spoke, she nodded enthusiastically.]

Doctor. You're not...upset with me, are you?

[The Doctor shook his head, flipping on the switch as the TARDIS column started to rise and fall. The familiar 'vworp vworp' of the TARDIS starting filled the room.]

I'm not. I didn't expect you to stay on the Barge forever, Sveta. You're young. You've got your whole life ahead of you. You can't spend all of it on a prison barge drifting through space and redeeming dead criminals. You need to live. You need to fall in love, fall out of love, fall in love again and eat the entire box of jelly babies in one night. And you can only get a brief taste of a full life on this boat.

[She couldn't argue with that, as it was exactly what she was feeling. Looking up, smiling at the familiar sound of the TARDIS, she nodded.]

But you'll find me one day, won't you?

[The Doctor reached over and lightly tapped Sveta on her nose.]

Of course I will! You'll still carry the TARDIS key, I know I'll find you eventually.
