dw100.Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Massed Sontaran troops look quite impressive.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.
“What are they?” the Doctor’s new companion asked as the ranks of aliens marched past.
“Sontarans.” The Doctor raised a finger. “Don’t let the fact that they look a bit like potatoes fool you. They’re a race of clones, they live to fight, honour on the battlefield is all they really care about, and they’re brilliant military tacticians. Mostly. They don’t always get things right, but that doesn’t matter because they’re rather difficult to kill, and there are a lot of them.”
“Dangerous, warmongering baked potatoes. Got it.” The companion nodded.
“No, I think most of them are only half-baked.”
The End
