About the Target novel...you made a statement that the narrative supported your argument that Delgado and Pratt are not the incarnation, whereas the narrative says nothing of the kind. You also stated that Harvest of Time lists Delgado and Pratt as two different incarnations, when it does nothing of the kind. My point in regards to that fact is that you have made false statements, claiming that certain books back up your position, when they do not.

Now, the two-and-a-half bodies after Delgado(as the Master doesn't see Pratt in Legacy of the Daleks)....first the "half", the decayed body, literally "half a body". Then two bodies....Ainley and Roberts....thus two and a half bodies.

And regardless of how you interpret 'regeneration', Legacy of the Daleks does in fact say that the Master had used up his regenerations before he ever went to Tersurus.

When Susan shot the Master, he was already on his thirteenth incarnation, and he decayed into putrified Pratt. The only question that Cousin Zagreus could use for his argument is that the Master at the beginning' of Legacy of the Daleks, the one calling himself 'Estro' is Delgado, or a non-putrified Pratt.
