Like fire! Hellfire! [this fire in my skin]

[the Master skids to a halt when he appears on the Astral Plane, having apparently come in running. He immediately straightens out his clothing before addressing the Plane]

Right, so! Pompeii: very lacking in Super Soaker outlets. Anyone have a water gun handy?

Why, though? Just for kicks?

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, 'cos I'd totally say to myself 'Gosh, self, I'm bored. Maybe I'll activate these nuclear warheads buried under the Earth's crust and rip the planet apart.' [rolling her eyes] I was going to do it to save the universe, all right? To save the human race from suffering like it did under your reign.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

From what?

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[raises an eyebrow] Why should I tell you?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Whatever it is, the Doctor and I will need to face it as well, hm?

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[frown] Davros and the Daleks sort of...pulled the Earth through time and space to be part of some superweapon they'd developed.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

What about other planets? Did they take those as well?

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[slow nod] Twenty-seven in all. And before you ask, no, I don't know the names.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

So by destroying Earth, you destroy what he created from the planets.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

Right. [long pause] And I'd seen what one madman could do to the population of Earth. I wasn't going to let that happen again.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, Martha, namecalling already. It wounds.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[she lets out a harsh laugh...which unfortunately loses most of its potency because she's tiny] You're right. At least Davros wanted to make everything quick. He didn't enjoy causing the entire human race as much pain and suffering as possible over the course of a year.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Davros was depraved; he created the hate-machines. He had no motivation other than mindless destruction.

Of course, it needs no mind to destroy you now. [taps her head]

So what's better - a sadistic sociopath who derives pleasure from what he does, or the mad scientist who just wants to see his species survive? [frown] I didn't know his plan till they brought me up to the Crucible. For all I knew, they were going to occupy Earth and slaughter mankind. That's why I was going to do it - it was my duty, in case the suffering of the human race would exceed that caused by destroying the Earth.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Genocide for the greater good, hm? Maybe you are a Doctor after all.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

Better than being a Master, hm?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[laughs] Not with the Doctor's position beneath his Master.
