[Filtered to Sgt. Howie and Coordinator Narvin]

I have a bit of a dilemma. [He sounds very concerned.] The... entity, person, alien, being, he, she, it... whatever it was. It altered memories of some to acquire followers. It impressed terrible thoughts in at least one individual's mind to gain their obedience.

This individual has come to me to have these false memories removed. No, this isn't a situation like a flood, or a breach. These are terrible thoughts concerning damaging children that have been thrust into their past experiences. I can repress the memories, but there will be the risk of residual feelings.

The person is a warden, and in full control of their judgement. They're also deeply affected, embarrassed, and wish to remain anonymous. They're also fully aware that it's a painful procedure, and I'm certain it's worth the risk. So temporarily I request use of the mindwipe, from the both of you. I would return it in short order.




[Private to Jim Profit]

[Backdated to pairing day.] Mr. Profit, I believe we're due a conversation. Where would you prefer we meet?

You, wanting to use a mindwipe? How interesting.

Who is this shy patient? I've had more experience with the technology so it would be safer for me to perform the procedure. In fact, I may have to insist on it. [Not that he's that concerned about the patient's welfare. Narvin wants to know which warden is that desperate and whether the information might be useful to him.]

Which should tell you how justified I feel in my course of action. Mr. Howie agreed to let me take it, but I couldn't be unfair enough to divulge their name. Not after having those thoughts impressed upon them.

You probably don't even know how to work the device. At best it would do nothing and at worse you'd fry the poor warden's brain. I should do the procedure, so unless you plan on blindfolding me, you might as well tell me the name of the person in question. [He is sticking with the lie that Howie has the real mindwipe. If he can get the Doctor to let him do the procedure, he can switch the mindwipes and maintain the bluff. Alas, Narvin is a well-known liar and misanthrope, so the Doctor would be justifiably suspicious of his motives.]

I know how to use it, loath as I am to admit it.

I can't, as I know you well enough to know you'd try to use it to your advantage. [Must he? Yes, he must.] What was done to this person's mind was unthinkable. Far worse than any ventures you may have attempted on supposedly weak and impressionable Time Lords, fresh from regeneration. I'm sure Braxiatel would be entertained by your impression of him, if I were to relate the story.

...I see.

Well, far be it from me to stand in the way of someone's dearly needed treatment. Will you at least allow me to inspect the device both before and after? I want to make sure your fiddling doesn't break it.

[Private]
I wouldn't break it! [Like a petulant kid.] But yes, you may. I'll meet you in the second level stairwell.

[Private]
Of course you wouldn't. [Said in a tone of voice thick with casual sarcasm.]

I'll be there shortly. [First, to go to Kay and get the real mindwipe so he can swap them during his inspection.]
