It's perhaps unwise to think of the Sontarans as a [[species]], as such. A homunculus breed, hatched by the million and engineered for full-engagement warfare, the Sontaran military machine is regarded by many time-active cultures as an "occupational hazard": a force of nature rather than a race, compelled by duty and [[gene]]tics to acquire new technologies for its endless war effort. It should be remembered, however, that with the backing of a higher power even the crudest of breeds can become something quite different. | It's perhaps unwise to think of the Sontarans as a [[species]], as such.

[[Justine McManus|Justine]] finds out how well she fits the glass slipper; a baptism of fire turns into the agony of diplomacy; [[Lolita|Miss Lolita]] gives a lesson in the correct use of weaponry; [[Kine|General Kine]] discovers that it's easier to disarm a [[Sontaran]] than a [[Cousin (rank)|Cousin]]; [[Christine Summerfield|Eliza]] becomes an accomplice to [[Ruthven's TARDIS|vehicle]] theft (on a grand scale); and [[House Tracolix|one Great House]] falls while [[House Lolita|another one]] rises. | |||
