#'fuck it; i'm just going to go bother nine; we haven't met that regeneration yet and he seems like a good dancer'

A chart from the Master's files, who lives in the eternal hope of manufacturing a multi-Doctor scenario. The Doctor doesn't bother keeping track of the Master's incarnations because while all of them claim to be pro-regeneration fucking, the practical reality is that they would all slaughter each other in defiance of the Laws of Time.

One has to imagine that Gallifrey's version of Buzzfeed has, at some point, published a "Would you fuck a regeneration of yourself" article. Although quickly banned by the High Council for heresy, it still circulated so widely on Gallifrey that there isn't a single Time Lord who hasn't covertly read and considered it at least once per regeneration. Each regeneration, naturally, has a different response to the central premise. It used to be a joke among the more irreverent young Time Lords that Rassilon invented time travel because he was so on-board with regeneration-fucking that he had to find a way to meet himself somehow. The joke is erroneous solely because Rassilon didn't actually invent Gallifreyan time travel. He's absolutely used it for those purposes though.
