#TOTW: Good dog K9

[gallifreyinstituteforlearning]

🤔🐕How good are Gallifreyan reflexes?

Have you ever watched a dog jumping to catch a speeding ball in midair and thought, "I wonder if my Gallifreyan can do that?" Well, now you don't need to wonder! Gallifreyans might not chase tennis balls as a routine, but their reflexes are pretty sharp.

Enhanced Cerebellum: Gallifreyan cerebellums are finely tuned for movement, balance, and coordination, making them mostly immune to low-level human problems like seasickness, jet lag, and vertigo.

10x Faster Reflexes: Gallifreyan reflexes are ten times faster than humans, meaning they can respond to threats, sports, or spontaneous cricket games with a precision that's borderline superhuman.

Precision & Coordination: Thanks to their superior hand-eye coordination and dexterity, Gallifreyans are naturally good with tools, weapons, and musical instruments.

Chronopsionic Reactions: Gallifreyans can also use their psychic and time-sensitive abilities to help predict movements before they happen.

Master of Movement: Martial arts, sports, or dancing—if it involves movement, they've naturally got talent.

So Gallifreyans can definitely catch a ball with pinpoint precision but don't expect them to bring it back—they've got bigger things to focus on, y'know?

🐶 The Many Models of K9

Over the years, K9 has been through quite a few upgrades, alternative versions, and even a regeneration or two.

K9 Mark I: The original version, built by Professor Marius in the year 5000 as his companion, was given to the 4th Doctor and Leela.

K9 Mark II: After leaving Mark I behind with Leela, the Doctor immediately unpacked Mark II. This version was slightly better at navigating swamps, and quarries in Wales. He ended up staying with Romana in E-Space.

K9 Mark III: Built by the Doctor as a gift for Sarah Jane Smith, Mark III spent much of his time in South Croydon. He was a helpful companion in Sarah Jane's investigative journalism but tragically self-destructed to stop the Krillitanes at Deffry Vale High School.

K9 Mark IV: Rebuilt by the 10th Doctor, Mark IV was a sleeker, more advanced version of Mark III. He could hover, had teleportation capabilities, and a direct space-time link. He often helped Sarah Jane and her gang, though he spent a lot of time monitoring a black hole in space.

K9 Mark 2 (Regeneration): After Mark I self-destructed to save humans from Jixen warriors, he regenerated into this newer version. With a sleek silver design and updated tech, this K9 had his own adventures in 2050 Earth, often helping Starkey and his friends.

🔀 Alternative and Hypothetical Models of K9

7th Doctor's K9: This version appeared briefly when the Rani pulled several of the Doctor's companions, including K9, into her schemes.

10th Doctor's K9: A version of K9 appeared in the TARDIS during the Tenth Doctor's downtime. He mainly served as a pet and occasionally played with Rose-the-Cat.

K9 Mark V: The 13th Doctor was briefly joined by K9 Mark V during an adventure in the Land of Fiction. This model had been sitting unfinished in the TARDIS for some time.

Future and Hypothetical Models: The Eleventh Doctor once sketched ideas for future versions of K9, including one with eight legs (a bit terrifying, but ideal for fetching sticks, I guess). Another version had a microwave and ketchup and mustard dispensers in its ears.
