`The Eyeless would very much like a time machine,'Alsa said.

`I bet they would,' the Doctor murmured throughgritted teeth.

`And you say you're a Time Lord and told Dela thatTARDIS stood for Time And--'

`Oh. Right. Yes, I see why there's all this confusion.Simple mistake. It's "Thyme", with an H-Y. The herb. I'ma Thyme Lord. In the Middle Ages, you'd put some thymeunder your pillow to ward off nightmares. Not that I'vebeen to the Middle Ages, of course. Heaven forfend.You'd need a time machine for that. As a, er, Thyme Lord,I know that it's good with roast chicken. And in biscuits.You wouldn't think so, but try it. Couple of tablespoons. Icould go on for ages about Thyme.'

`Please don't.' The Doctor wasn't sure if that was Alsa,or the Eyeless speaking through her. Either way, he sighedwith relief. `The Eyeless fail to understand why thismeans your brain needs such an elaborate firewall.'

`Isn't it obvious?' the Doctor said, then hesitated for along while, before adding, `It's because we don't wantanyone stealing our recipes.'

He smiled, a little uncertainly.

`They believe you,' Alsa said, not bothering to concealher dissenting opinion. `They want your recipes. Theydon't just take stuff. They take experiences. Thoughts andemotions and fantasies. That's what the things suspendedin their bodies are for souvenirs. Badges.'

`Proof of individual achievement in a hivemind,' theDoctor muttered.
