The Rani's Evil Plan

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 13323

"You see this?" said the Rani, hefting the strange weapon she was carrying.

They all peered at it. It was a very odd-looking thing, indeed, and the blank looks on the faces of all assembled clearly revealed that none of them had the least idea what it was. Stacy spoke up finally, in a flippant tone. "Your ray gun? So?"

The Rani smiled nastily. "This is not a ray gun, you ignorant human! This is a highly sophisticated piece of equipment, requiring many years of effort and, I might add, not inconsiderable genius to develop."

"The genius being yours, of course," replied the Doctor dryly.

"And the effort probably being slave labor," muttered Betty-1.

"But what is it?" asked Melissa.

"It's a morphogenic alteration device."

"Huh?" said Stacy.

"Wait... Like whatever it was that altered me into Melissa's duplicate?" asked Betty-2.

"I doubt it," sneered the Rani. "No, this is..."

But the Master cut her off "You... You meddled with my morphogenic field?" Her pale face was turning a shade of pink that would have been kind of cute if she hadn't looked so murderous.

"Well, I had to see if it would work, didn't I?" replied the Rani sweetly.

"Good grief!" exclaimed the Doctor. "The possible implications..."

"That's right," said the Rani. "Regeneration at will, endless cycles of it. There are elements on Gallifrey who would pay a great deal to have access to this technology. Or to prevent others from getting it."

The Master had stopped looking angry, and now appeared to be trying hard not to drool over the thing. The Rani, noticing this, took a step back, pulling the device well out of the Master's reach.

"But where do we come in?" said Betty-1, puzzled.

"Ah. Well, you see, this is just a prototype, very limited in capacity, unfortunately. To build the full model, I'm afraid there's one last thing I need. And you are going to procure it for me."

  1. "Why us?" asked the Doctor.
  2. "What 'thing'?" asked Stacy.
  3. "Well, you hardly need this idiotic do-gooder," the Master responded eagerly. "What would you say to a partnership?"
