After fragments of [[Scrolls of Gallifrey|an ancient document in an alien language]] are found in [[St. Paulo's Churchyard]] by [[tourist]]s, a group of dedicated linguists and historians led by a certain [[Gary Russell (The Legacy of Gallifrey)|Mr Russell]] end up cracking the code of [[ | After fragments of [[Scrolls of Gallifrey|an ancient document in an alien language]] are found in [[St. Paulo's Churchyard]] by [[tourist]]s, a group of dedicated linguists and historians led by a certain [[Gary Russell (The Legacy of Gallifrey)|Mr Russell]] end up cracking the code of [[Postar|Postar the Perfidious]] and translating the true history of the planet [[Gallifrey]]. | ||
That history begins in a time before the edict of the [[Laws of Time]], when most [[Gallifreyan]]s instead turned to the stars and worked on interstellar travel to make themselves into [[god]]s for [[lesser species]]. Only a small fraction of the population remained on Gallifrey and had the sense to work to build a future there. Among them are [[solar engineer]]s who, after discovering that it is impossible to compute the [[square root]] of minus [[3 (number)|3]], decide to have their [[biological engineer]]s design an intelligent species they would seed throughout the universe, whose purpose would be to teach all species they encountered that there was no sense in wasting resources on computing this nonexistent square root. These creatures become the [[Gallifreyan cat|Gallifreyan]] [[cat]]s, a symbol of intelligence on Gallifrey ever after. | That history begins in a time before the edict of the [[Laws of Time]], when most [[Gallifreyan]]s instead turned to the stars and worked on interstellar travel to make themselves into [[god]]s for [[lesser species]].
