* Why isn't Styre's communications link to the General inside his ship? Why leave it outside in a rock crevis, exposed to the elements and for the humans to find? | * Why isn't Styre's communications link to the General inside his ship?

::His ship is quite small. Since he was going to be there for awhile, why not leave it outside? The humans aren't really a threat to him and presumably Sontaran technology isn't so fragile that it will be damaged by rain. | ::His ship is quite small.

Either way, they clearly need to know this species inside and out to defeat them once and for all. | ::Their continuous failure to subjugate the humans in all this time indicates to the Sontarans that the previous date collections could be inaccurate, or simply lack the thoroughness to be entirely useful.

* Why did the Doctor lie about Sontarans being terrible with melee weapons when Sontarans proved handy with melee weapons including Colonel Snathe with his cutlass in ''[[The Betrothal of Sontar (comic story)|The Betrothal of Sontar]]''? | |||
