CHRIS CWEJ IS BETTER THAN FITZ KREINER

‘Okay,’ the Doctor said hurriedly, “I will admit that killing is sometimes justified. I’ve killed- I’ve been responsible for- the deaths of intelligent beings before. I regret that, but it was necessary.’ Pryce leaned forward, his bottomless eyes wide. ‘How did you kill them?’ Sweat trickled down the Doctor’s nose. ‘Later, perhaps. The important thing is, I… they died in order to save others.’ 'What gave you the right to make that decision?’ Pulling the silk handkerchief from his jacket pocket, the Doctor mopped at his brow. He could say 'The White Guardian’ but that wasn’t a real answer. The Doctor hadn’t realized that the Guardians were interested in him for along while, and even then the White Guardian had been very careful not to actually condone what the Doctor did. He- it- just took advantage of it. 'I… I suppose nobody did. I repeatedly found myself in the right place in the right time to make a difference. I balanced up the eventual outcomes, and decided that the death of one person, or a handful of people, was worth it if it kept more people alive.’ 'In your opinion.’ 'Yes. In my opinion.’ He removed his jacket. Pryce’s face seemed to shimmer in the heat. 'Backed up with experience.’ 'But you didn’t actually know, did you? You were just guessing. You might have been wrong.’ In his mind he was suddenly standing in a rubble-strewn corridor, deep beneath the surface of Skaro. He held two wires in his hands, half an inch apart. 'Just touch these two strands together and the Daleks are finished. Have I that right? Some things could be better with the Daleks. Many future world’s will become allies just because of their fear…’ 'Do I have the right?’ 'Yes,’ the Doctor whispered into the silence of a million accusing ghosts, 'I might have been wrong.’

And Rassilon journeyed into the black void with a great fleet. Within that void no light would shine. And nothing of that outer nature continued in being, except that which existed within the Sash of Rassilon. Now Rassilon found the Eye of Harmony, which balances all things that they may neither flux, wither nor change their state in any measure, and he caused the Eye to be brought to the world of Gallifrey, wherein he sealed this munificence with the Great Key. Then, the people​ rejoiced.
