My dear Upziet,

Stop your whining at once. Surely you have heard of the fate of my nephew Wormwood and your immediate predecessor Pogsnoit. And with each failure, I grow ever more ravenous. You have heard the law of Hades. Do not disappoint us.

You asked why we have been instructed to deal with an alien species, when their relationship with the Enemy is unknown. I shall repeat what I told Pogsnoit when he asked that very question. First, it is our goal to bewilder any attempt of the Enemy's, regardless of degree. Secondly, this 'Doctor' fights for life throughout the galaxy, particularly that of humans, and any day spent alive by a human is one that the Enemy might use for his advantage. Remember that.

Now, as to your initial report: I note with severe disappointment that you were unable to use his post-regeneration trauma to produce any violent behavior. The near-murder of Peri by the Sixth Doctor was an excellent example of taking full use of the situation. On a lesser scale, Pogsnoit managed to arose mistrust after the Ninth's regeneration, a situation that he exploited on later occasions.

But this new companion he's picked up seems most promising. First of all, the lack of family, which can be a double-edged sword. While it leaves no accountability, it also lessons the conflict between time-traveling and ordinary life, which they shall one day return to. Also, she is very attractive and bold sexually, which, if nothing else, will add to the tension in the TARDIS.

Leaving that aside for another time, the Doctor has already presented a contradictory image to this Amy Pond, which you can play with in any number of ways. On one hand, he's her childhood hero, her imaginary friend, finally returned. On the other hand, he ran off and left her for fourteen years, a betrayal time has done nothing to heal. As long as you manipulate your patient—or shall I say Doctor?—carefully, this dichotomy can be used must efficiently to drive a wedge between them.

Finally, I understand your annoyance at his childish manners. But with skill, those mannerisms can become as exasperating to the patient's companion as to you.

Sincerely,

Screwtape
