This is a test drive for The Last Resort. You can use one of the handy prompts or make up your own.
Prompts
Prompt #1
You're about to leave Pugsy's bar, and you pull out your wallet to pay the tab. It runs away.
Oops.
The wallet was a prop and now you're stuck with a bill you can't pay. Pugsy is irritated, though, with some patrons ripping off tonight so he doesn't really want to just "put it on your tab". Someone else is going to have to cover it for you. Hopefully there's a freind or a potential friend around.
Prompt #2
You got stuck out at night, and you can't make it back to Blackstaff in time. Or you couldn't get the teleporters to lock on to you at your exploration point and you have to wait for a retrieval team. Whatever has happened, you're now stuck up a tree with six terrible little frowning green faces staring up at you as creepers toddle around the tree silently.
Have you called for help and have a rescuer coming? Are you planning an escape with your companion? Or are you passing the time and throwing fruit from the tree down at them.
Prompt #3
Optional. This can even be a potential 1st introductory post or network post asking questions about the setting.
[He might not have any actual idea how long a microspan actually is - even the Doctor had tended to default to Earth-based terms of time measurement - but as long as it's not all night, he figures he can tolerate it. Besides, he can count the time by the units he's more familiar with and when all is said and done all he'll have to do is divide by five for a rough estimate of how long a microspan is.]
[There the sound of more metallic rattling on the other side of the audio line.]
I have the send function working once more, but not retrieval. I'm sending you a backup weapon; it's set to vaporization. You'd best return it to me in one piece, or else I shall be very cross.
[It's Narvin's way of telling Lethbridge-Stewart not to die. The air shimmers and a staser pistol appears on the ground a meter ahead of the Brigadier.]
I'm not sure I'll have time to try taking it apart.
[There's the slightest hint of a smile as he says it; it's not really visible over an audio line like this, but the tone of his voice still manages to hold a few traces of humor.
(He might want to know how it works, but he's always had other people for that; he's usually far too busy with actually keeping UNIT running to bother with the more technical side of things.)
It's an answer too; his own way of saying 'I don't intend to die out here of all places.'
The sound of footsteps follows his words, and then rustling cloth as he picks up the staser. It's not a weapon he's immediately familiar with but it only takes a moment or three to figure out how it works; the next time the feed picks up the sound of weapon fire it's a staser blast instead of the report of a pistol.]
Don't get too comfortable with it. It's loaned only for the short term. I'm technically breaking three regulations by allowing you to handle it at all.
[Not that anyone on Gallifrey will ever know, but it's the principle of the thing.]
Of course. [A pause] And they won't hear about this... loan from me, if it helps.
["They" in this case being anyone would might have things to say the breaking of the regulations in question. He's well aware of the sort of paperwork that comes with such things being found out. And the irritation of having to explain the reason behind any regulation-breaking as well.
(He understands the principle of the thing being more important than anything else as well. It's just not something that's easy to comment on.)]

Ah, yes. I can see why you prefer this sort.
