#everyone but vinder and the doctor overlooked diane

[daughter-of-the-clayr]

as much as I enjoy referring to the end of flux as a triple genocide, it annoys me when people take it completely seriously bc. that's not. what it is. by the time they have control of the lupari fleet, the daleks and cybermen fleets have already been consumed (and it's not like the daleks and cybermen were wiped out, anyway), and not saving the sontarans was. necessary. the doctor didn't have the passenger plan at that point, she needed as much matter as possible - and 13 has a history of doing to her enemies what they do to their victims. she's as merciful as they are, but where the sontarans were willing to let trillions of innocents be wiped out, she used the sontarans' fleet - and when that didn't finish it off, she used the lupari fleet, and when that didn't work, she used passenger. the endgame of flux is a series of desperate ploys, one after the other, in the forlorn hope that one of them will work.
