You're sarcastic, but would it surprise you I did the same? Though not for my friends. I was going to be used to infect my world with a virus. If I ever regenerated, it would cost my entire world theirs. So I didn't. Ended up being spread some other way.

My only consolation is that I got the word out before I died. May be it was a little less severe than it would have been. Maybe.

[There's a pause.] I'm here because I can't give up. I deserve better. As… utterly conceited as that sounds. How typical of my race to consider myself more important than to be prepared to stop at being a victim, the first of many. But I believe I do deserve better.
