Doctor Who: Clara Oswald Doesn’t Exist
The
Cybermen closed in on Clara Oswald.
“Stop!
You can’t kill me,” she called out.
“Incorrect.”
“I’m a
target of strategic value. Alive, I’m a tactical advantage. Dead, I’m your
biggest mistake. You don’t know who I am.”
One of
the Cybermen scanned her. “You are Clara Oswald. You are human. You are
unimportant.”
“Incorrect!”
Clara said, deciding to continue along the line she was going along. “That is
what you’re supposed to think. That is what everybody thinks.”
“You
are Clara Oswald.”
“Clara
Oswald is a cover story, a disguise. There is no Clara Oswald.”
“Identify.”
The Cyberman seemed a little incredulous, if a Cyberman could inflict it’s
voice so.
“Oh,
don’t be so slow, it’s embarrassing. Who could fool you like this? Who could
hide right under your nose? Who could change their face any time they want? You
see, I am not Clara Oswald. Clara Oswald has never existed!”
“Identify!”
“I am
the Doctor.”
The
three Cybermen came closer. “Well here to start? I was born on the
planet Gallifrey, in the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm a Time Lord, but my
Prydonian privileges were revoked when I stole a time capsule and ran away.
Currently pilot a Type 40 Tardis. I've been married four times, all deceased.
My children and grandchildren are missing, and I assume, dead. I have a
non-Gallifreyan daughter created via genetic transfer. How much more do you
need? I'm the Doctor.”
“This information is not proof. We require proof.”
“Proof?” Clara asked rhetorically. “I’ll give you proof.”
She grabbed a fob watch from one of her pockets. “Get ready to scan me again.”
She then flipped the fob watch, or rather chameleon arch open. Golden energy
rippled over her.
“Scanning,”
the first Cyberman said. It found something. “Bicardial circulation system…
Time Lord physiology detected!”
“Told
you.”
