-* In Edge's exaggerated version of the Doctor and Peri's actions on Poytee, the Doctor is a bloodthirsty renegade who keeps a cache of weapons in the TARDIS and destroys the entire surface of the planet by activating the chain of subsurface atomic reactors in revenge for one of the inhabitants firing a weapon at Peri. She is depicted as being equally bloodthirsty, delighting in the Doctor's merciless killing of Palgrave and the extent of the damage that Level 3 of her weapon can do to a humanoid body. After ensuring that all life on the planet would be eradicated, the Doctor proclaims, "The last one back to the TARDIS wipes the blood out of my shirt!"

-* In Kettoo's version of the Doctor and Peri's actions on Poytee, the Doctor vents the cooling systems of all of the atomic reactors into the seas, causing the coolant to react with the hydrogen molecules and create an enormous gas cloud which suffocated every living creature on Poytee. When Palgrave objects, Peri incapacitates him and the Doctor completes the venting process. The Doctor and Peri, though nowhere near as bloodthirsty as in Edge's story, are both utterly convinced that eradicating the population of Poytee is the lesser of two evils if they want to ensure that the virus does not spread beyond the confines of the planet.

-* In actuality, it was Poytee's Scientific Corps which developed the plan to vent selective subsurface atomic generators. The Corps planned to control the spread of the resultant radioactive clouds with a climate modulator and disperse them into the upper atmosphere. When examining a patient, the Doctor was accidentally infected with the Tul-Oz virus. Peri convinced the Corps to delay their plan while the Doctor developed a antidote to the virus from his own blood sample. He released the antidote into the atmosphere. There it was activated and dispersed across the surface of the planet using the climate modulator, curing the entire population.
