The Dilgar

[askfor_bananas]

I did try to provoke some sense of guilt out of him, but to no avail. Some beings just can't regret their actions, no matter what the consequences are. For example, one consequence of my ending the time war is to make the Dilgar stop spitting curses at me and start making awkward sexual advances. Which would be a lot less horrifying if I didn't

Can I have a DNA sample of the Dilgar, pretty please? Just a little cheek swab?

[askfor_bananas]

No. Not unless you destroy it and all records of it when you're finished.

[ask_arealdoctor]

How about a hair? Just one hair?

[askfor_bananas]

No. Nothing from the Dilgar. If that sort of information go into the wrong hands 200 years from now, the consequences would be horrible.

Unlike the consequences of you meeting two Companions ahead of schedule?

Aw, let her have the sample, Doctor. It's just for a database. It's not like she'd try to grown one in a jar, IS IT MARTHA? Because that would be wrong. Very, very, very wrong.

(I realize it sounds like a set up for disaster since Hart always does what he's told not to do but I'm setting it up for LOLs. If he were to try this, the first and only act the Dilgar cells would be able to complete before dying for lack of care would be to kill their creator. With him dead they'd die from lack of constant feeding. Even if someone were to try to pick up from where he left off, the passage of more than a microsecond between feedings would destroy the cells. I've been around when someone tried to do it. Poor Sigismund. Never knew what hit him.)

I don't want to grow one! Why would anyone want to grow one? It's just for my database on comparative xenogenetics.

I said no! I mean no! Your first full-blown interstellar conflict is going to be against them and it's going to shape your interactions with the rest of the universe for centuries. No!

And it's different for me, I'm a Time Lord. A Time Lord who is getting a mind wipe.

[ask_arealdoctor]

You're no fun. I'll have to pout now.

[askfor_bananas]

Pout all you want, I'm not changing my mind Martha.

[ask_arealdoctor]

It always worked with

Oh, all right.

[askfor_bananas]

Thank you.

Er, on an unrelated note, you wouldn't happen to be monitoring the police via bugs in their caps, would you?

[ask_arealdoctor]

Um, I don't think so. You'd have to ask one of the others about that.

[askfor_bananas]

I'll do that, thanks.
