Reply To: The Official Doctor Who Thread: Born To Save The Universe

[Sci-Fi Girl]

Ok, I’ve parsed this quote from the transcript of The Sound of Drums

MASTER: Back home. Where is it, Doctor?

DOCTOR: Gone.

MASTER: How can Gallifrey be gone?

DOCTOR: It burnt.

MASTER: And the Time Lords?

DOCTOR: Dead. And the Daleks, more or less. What happened to you?

MASTER: The Time Lords only resurrected me because they knew I’d be the perfect warrior for a Time War. I was there when the Dalek Emperor took control of the Cruciform. I saw it. I ran. I ran so far. Made myself human so they would never find me, because I was so scared.

DOCTOR: I know.

MASTER: All of them? But not you, which must mean

DOCTOR: I was the only one who could end it. And I tried. I did. I tried everything.

That gives a pretty specific origin for Yana, and I think it pretty much rules out that theory, sorry.  Whatever comes next, I don’t think it’s that.
