This is never, never happening again. I can't believe it ever got this far...

Spencer? Emily? Thank you so much for all your help. You were both really quite wonderful. Birdy, I've put your microwave back together for you, if you'd like it back.

The rest of you...

...I'm just sorry I was too late for it to stop them.

Where were you? We needed you! I thought you were coming, you had to come, you know the Master and he knows Davros so you have to know Davros, you wouldn't let this happen and...you were really my only hope.

I'm sorry, people had already died. Perhaps it would have made a difference with me there, but for all those people it would have been to late. I had to make a decision and...

Even with time travel on your side, you can't be in two places at once, it creates a paradox, it wounds the time stream, and I had to go and find the Admiral.

You went to go find the Admiral...I guess you did save us, at least inadvertently. That's good. That way he could come and bring everybody back to life.

[Private]
What's...what's the Admiral like? You have to wonder about who's piloting the ship.

[celerystyle]

That's what I was hoping for, but seeing what even surviving this has done to people...

Well, there's nothing to be done about it now.

[Private]

Well... he was sort of harried, as I'm sure you can imagine. A little disarming...

But he seemed like a perfectly pleasant chap.

[exploringdaniel]

It's awful. I mean...even me the people who've died before are still paranoid. There wasn't any way around the repercussions. As soon as he took over the boat, somebody was going to end up traumatized.

[Private]

That's good, I guess.

[celerystyle]

I'm sorry, I'm sure it means little now, but it's true. This should never have happened.

Still...that it was possible for the people here to beat them. It never ceases to amaze me, what people are capable of.

[exploringdaniel]

You're right. People are amazing.
