Styggron declares the Doctor must be destroyed

Styggron and Chedaki assess the captured Doctor’s threat level, reviewing the Tyla’s data on his legacy of opposing conquest across time and space. Recognizing the Doctor’s systemic interference as an existential risk to their Earth invasion, Styggron shifts from containment to eradication. He resolves to exploit their detainment only for the purpose of reverse-engineering the Time Lord’s methods before ordering permanent disposal, ensuring the Kraal victory will be unchallenged once the Doctor is neither a prisoner nor an example but a hollowed-out blueprint for conquest.

Key Dialogue

"CHEDAKI: The data that was drained from the girl shows the Doctor's long association with libertarian causes. His entire history is one of opposition to conquest. While he lives, he is a threat."
"STYGGRON: His history will end soon, Chedaki, when I have nothing further to learn from studying him."
