I would blame the Doctor but even he is not so ruthless. I’ve requested additional intel for analysis.

The entire Cyber fleet in this sector has been wiped out! Reports are coming in from the adjacent sector that leaders have ordered retreat and concealment. Cowards. Or, a possible sign of intelligence.

The similarities and timing are too significant to ignore. It is the same attacker responsible for our losses.

I am receiving reports of ferocious attacks in this sector. Three cryovault spacecraft piloted by Cybermen were destroyed, minutes apart!

None of our weapons had any effect. Forty-three outposts, obliterated! Our forces are seriously diminished. I want answers!

You will send notice to all remaining outposts: Use of particle cannons is authorized. Loss of any labor forces is an acceptable calculation.

Similar reports from Outposts 2367, 9876, and 6987! I need data, not panic!

9376 rels ago, terror descended from orbit, a sweeping, impossible shadow with a wingspan of at least two kilometres. It utterly destroyed the outpost and! Per this report! Every single Dalek! Chewed to gore!

An emergency transmission from Outpost 4679? Show me.

The notion of my innermost thoughts in the hands of the Time Lords is a hot red knot of disgust in my core I have been trying to ignore.

While comprehension of the written word is problematic for many humans, a more likely explanation is your planet’s awareness and appreciation of my genius.

I have no secrets, I have only history.

Do you believe I would create such a device only for it to be defenceless during a same or similar scenario?

Scientists create our own paths. I will never cease. Never.

I wish to improve the universe, to help it achieve its potential ordered perfection. That has always been my goal. You now have evidence of that.

And yet you toil, as ruthless with science as the object of your contempt. Hypocrite.

It is on Gallifrey. Targeting. Charge the magnetic overloads.

I should have known. You will learn much. Still you will fail.

Where is it?

Naturally the Doctor is involved.

A report has come in from one of the repository outposts.

I am a genius. There is no comparison.

But not completely. Not past the molecular level.

It was not a lie. The God-Shell was destroyed!

You LIE.

I have heard rumours the God Shell has been destroyed. Not possible. I have demanded more information.

You will tell me. Eventually.

I can make threats too.

I want the God-Shell.
