Rename argumentation

Here is the relevant part of the dialog starting from around 35:50:

Doctor: "Intelligent oil. Super intelligent space oil. No! Part of the ship itself. Shape-shifting fluid that becomes anything it needs to be."

Then later, around 36:30:

Doctor: "A left-behind droplet of a liquid spaceship." Amorkuz 21:32, April 22, 2017 (UTC)

Ah yes, I picked up on this on a rewatch, and totally forgot to bring it up here. This is indeed part of a liquid spaceship, as the Doctor explains, rather than simply oil left behind from a regular solid one. It's a shapeshifting liquid ship? Apparently? I suppose liquid spaceship might indeed be the way to go here.

Something puddle? Liquid spaceship droplet? Might be helpful to differentiate this particular creature, with Heather as its pilot, and liquid spaceship as a spacecraft type.
