Now for the perspectives of The Gelph, Signora Calvierri, Madame Kovarian, the Minotaur and Lady Cassandra
Apologies for any inaccuracies - it's been awhile since I've seen some of these episodes. Any comments and suggestions are most welcome :) Hope you enjoy!
The Gelph
The Time-lords did this. It was their arrogance and pride that lead to our entire world being transformed into vapour. They flout the laws they claim to virtuously uphold. Placing themselves above the standards of lesser species, they crucify others on standards that they fail. Hypocrites. They are guilty. We deserve justice. We will have our vengeance.
The Doctor is just like all those other Time-lords, patronising. The Doctor knows best, does he? We may live in a few corpses, may we? How very kind of you to permit us. We don't want your kindness. We don't need your permission. We shall take our form once again, without Time-lord interference. This world will be ours. The Time-lords will pay.
Signora Rosanna Calvierri - Vampires of Venice
It is over. This will be my last diary entry. Not for the joyous reasons I had anticipated with such high hopes. Instead: desolation and tragedy. My hopes and dreams are shattered.
We left our home in panic and terror seeking refuge from the silence. Our world was breaking and cracking into a thousand pieces; the sound of silence was deafening. Coming to this world was a lucky escape – I'd hoped that we'd be able to live and swim again here. We would have survived. We didn't need much. Just a little city to call our own. We could have lived in peace with these humans. We could have.
The Doctor denied us. He has killed us. We will never live, love or swim again. My race will never again ride the waves nor sail the storms. Never again play among the reefs. We could have lived here happy and peaceful in our sea-city. Not now. Not ever. He has doomed us, the once-mighty rulers of the waters.
No more.
No more my children, no more my world, no more my life. All no more.
We fought. We fought to our last gasp. Alas to perish. I must join my children. I cannot keep them waiting. The fate of the Saturnyne is sealed.
Madame Kovarian
There was a prophecy. A prophecy of doom, bloodshed and the end of the universe. A prophecy of the Doctor. It said that he will be the destroyer of all worlds, of all time. Preventing this is the sole purpose of my life. The universe must be rid of this unwholesome cancer.
I have seen the destruction and desolation that the Doctor leaves in his wake. He claims to use no weapons but he lies. People are his weapon of choice. He uses them to do what he cannot bring himself to do. So we will use people against him in our war. The people that he loves, trusts and cares about. Our weapons will shield the universe from destruction.
The Doctor needs to be put down like the rabid dog he is. He is neither good nor kind. He is thoughtless and careless. He doesn't see the consequences of his actions. He is cowardly. A cowardly man who believes the delusion of his own grandeur. He is clever but not clever enough. His certainty in his own infallibility will be his un-doing. And I will be crowned with glory for being the universal saviour. The Silence have promised me this. I am their first, their most faithful servant. My ingenuity, my passion and my sheer cunning will deliver us from evil. The Doctor must die.
Minotaur – The God Complex
Endless. Labyrinth.
Trapped. No escape.
So much forgotten. Maddening.
They call me. They believe.
Moment of ecstasy. Never for me.
I long for death. Long for relief.
Mercy.
Lady Cassandra
No one can possibly understand what it is like to be me. I'm the last full human in the entire universe. The last true human from Earth. I am like no other. I am special, unique. I'm all alone. So if I don't look out for myself, who will?
Some may say that I am self-centred but I believe that I am simply doing my duty. I come from a long and illustrious lineage of humans. I represent the entire human race, centuries of development and history, to the rest of the universe. It is a responsibility I take very seriously. I maintain myself and my lifestyle to the highest standard. People admire my beautiful flatness. What they don't know is that I am simply continuing time-honoured traditions. Humans have always sought flatness – reading carefully preserved late 20th texts such as cosmo indicates that this was the most desirable goal. I am the end point, the shining pinnacle of humanity and it is a point of pride for me to present myself to the highest of standards. Looking this fabulously flat takes a lot of work and doesn't come cheaply. Maintaining my lifestyle and representing the human race isn't easy, you know! The efforts I put in are so little understood or appreciated by the rest of the universe. Possibly I shouldn't expect so much from them. After all, they are just one of many. Only I am truly unique. How sad it must be to be so terribly common.
