(for whichever master you're in the mood to write. my general idea sending this meme is that the rani and the master are being forced to cooperate and it's not going well so far lol.)

❝ Well seeing as neither of us are particularly happy about it, I'd say we've come to a fair agreement. ❞ 

She could have put her in a UNIT containment cell and left it up to Geneva to decide her fate.Usual protocol would dictate they do exactly that. But she couldn't deny the two obvious facts. Not when they were staring her right in the face.

1.) There was no question of if. The Rani would escape eventually and when she did UNIT would track her down again. But not until after she had performed some other hideous experiment on the planet that would cost them all greatly.

2.) For all her lack of morals, she was still a scientific genius. A calculated one. She could still be reasoned with and if she could be reasoned with then the world could benefit from her expertise. UNIT could benefit.

So yes, she would prevent her extradition. UNIT's UK office would maintain a close, watchful presence over her. It was a risk. She knew. But one she was willing to take. Kate only hoped she would not regret it.

To say he was surprised to see her again after so long would be an understatement. But then again, he knew he probably shouldn't be. After all, she wasn't allowed back on Gallifrey. Even if he were notorious for his crimes, he wasn't the one that had been exiled. At least until recently....

"Ah, Rani." He exclaimed. "I would say I'm happy to see you again, but after our last adventures together, I don't think I will." He could never look at dinosaurs the same way ever again. "I am surprised to see you here nonetheless. Did you hear what happened to Gallifrey?"

He often found himself feeling like this Villengard landmine---a ticking timebomb, ready to explore---but he couldn't focus on that now. He had to listen to her, taking a few deep breaths, feeling air fill his lungs and then letting it out. Of course the Rani had been right, scientific genius she was and all. His heart rate started to calm down along with his adrenaline levels. "I'm surprised to find us working together again, luv. How have you been since we last saw each other?"

also, the master slowly becoming an anti-hero is really interesting! the rani isn't morally gray, she's amoral, as in she just doesn't have a moral compass in general. killing a sentient subject in an experiment, to her, is the same as killing a lab rat - unfortunate, but ultimately, science can be messy. while keeping these things in mind, im trying to actually maybe give her some character development where she starts to develop just the slightest, tiniest bit of empathy, so the idea of the master, who has done all these horrible things, slowly becoming an anti-hero is actually kind of perfect bc im trying to work out how to make her less of a one-dimensional coldhearted scientist villain stereotype. and i have ideas, but for now im still working on that portrayal.

oof sorry for the rambling lololol

Never ever apologize for an accidental meta!!!! In fact I'm saving it for reference as we write! <3 What you just wrote about the Rani is fascinating to me as is, but breaking and inverting stereotypes/tropes is also my jam! You go, you funky lil writer!

He laughs and rolls into the grass, stretching out his limbs as his lungs heaved. "I can't go bother Theta, he's at some Lungbarrow family thing."
