The days on the forest planet of Lunus 5 lasted for precisely six months. In that time, the climate was harsh beneath the twin suns. Those that braved it would compare it to a tropical rainforest, only ten times more intense. The nights, by contrast, were much more pleasant but extremely limited...so limited that the common space traveler would have just a tiny window of time to get there and experience it.

That wasn't such a problem for a Time Lord like Neas. With her Type-Z TARDIS, she could reach one of those short nights on Lunus 5 in literally no time at all. Often she'd go there to relax after a taxing journey through the infinite dimensional corridor; that was achievable by a swim in the Endless Lagoon.

The lagoon was just as it was by name – a never-ending body of water.

It was jarring to see at night with the twin moons reflecting off the surface.

            In her seventeenth regeneration, who she called "Alicia," Neas decided she was long overdue for a dip in the Endless Lagoon

In her seventeenth regeneration, who she called "Alicia," Neas decided she was long overdue for a dip in the Endless Lagoon. The visit to Pandora with her companions, Ben Tennyson and Newt Scamander, brought her back someplace mentally she hadn't been since the Cyber War.

She let a man die. Not just any man. An evil man named Quaritch.

She tried to save his soul, showing him the truest evil there was in the multiverse: the Daleks. When Quaritch proved himself to be irredeemable, Alicia left him to die on Skaro, blasted to atoms by the Daleks' death rays.

Such a dark action went against a new approach on life she opted to take when she regenerated into her predecessor, Alexis (a.k.a. "Professor Redding"). Jefferson Reed made her into a better person during that time. With him, she felt like the human she once was before Rassilon manipulated her DNA, increasing the Gallifreyan half of her genetic code and turning into a full-blooded Time Lord.

When Jeff became the Meteor Man at a time when Alexis was under the influence of the chameleon arch, it seemed like their relationship became that much more interesting. A Time Lord and a superhero in love, traversing the multiverse. Nothing could ever break them apart.
