Doctor Who Drabble: Victims And Monsters
Title: Victims And Monsters
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: The Doctor, Daleks, Cybermen.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 709: Seventh Doctor Titles at dw100, using Silver Nemesis.
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Battling Cybermen isn’t quite the same as battling Daleks.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.
Which of the Doctor’s nemeses is the worst, the most dangerous? Daleks, with their absolute determination to wipe out all non-Dalek life in the universe, exterminating other races as if they were nothing more than vermin?
Or would it be the Cybermen, those emotionless silver cyborgs, living brains transplanted into almost invulnerable metal bodies?
Despite being against violence, he’s destroyed many of both, and in some respects killing a Dalek is more straightforward. They are what they are, members of an alien race housed in protective casings.
Cybermen, however, were people once, converted against their will, both victims and monsters.
The End
