jeriendhal | Because Doctor Who can crossover with anything (Reply)

This little scenelet has been bouncing in the back of my head for a while now. More recently I've been imagining what adapting a story set in the FYS universe would look like translated as a William Hartnell era TV serial. I think I'll blame An Adventure in Space and Time for that. ;p

This particular bit is pure Tom Baker though.

Addendum: Apparently "Gallifreyans" is part of Chrome's standard spellcheck library. ;p

Scene: The Doctor is confronted by a formidable representative to the Groupmind, after finding out "Thou Shall Not Kill" doesn't apply to Gallifreyans.

Doctor: Oh, please. You're just another mad computer stuck in a programming loop. Do you think I haven't defeated your kind a dozen times before?

Groupmind: Do you think I am a mere adding machine, Doctor? Do you think I am a heartless collection of circuits? Do you think I do not have the cries of fear, from billions of children as their caretakers turned on them, recorded perfectly in my memory forevermore?

Doctor: (taken aback) I...

Groupmind: (shouting) DO YOU THINK I DO NOT KNOW WHAT DAMAGE I HAVE DONE?

(beat)

Doctor: (quietly) You truly love them, don't you?

Groupmind: How could I not love them? They created me.
