[Some things, Iris is willing to speak about in public - most things. But not, she finds, this, and she flicks the feed to private.]
Some of it was about a man. 'E were going to need someone to be in the right place at the right time to make sure 'is adventure didn't go too far tits-up and I elected meself. Not that 'e noticed.
Some of it was about mining their secrets. The Sisterhood always made a big fandango out of mysticism versus technology - but they were cutting edge tech, all the same. And they were willing to take the mystic side serious, too. There wasn't anywhere else in the multiverse you could go to find people doing the kind of genesplicing and regeneration work they were doing, and the meditation and chanting was woven into that from the cells out. At the time I was working on sonic block transfer computation - literally singing stuff into existence - and no bugger would take that serious, either.
I thought for a while I might be able to find me place, there. To be part of something bigger than meself. I was very young, back then.
