   Summary

   This generation was loomed with defects. Maybe his frankly mundane height is amongst those defects, or maybe it isn’t; maybe there’s something far greater wrong with him. Impurities in the biodata, Glospin says: that’s why you’re called Snail, runt. Well, he’s not the only one with defects. They say Koschei of the House of Oakdown was loomed without any psychic defences; having never met Koschei of the House of Oakdown but having exchanged polite letters with him, he’s proud to announce that he hasn’t a clue if it’s true. But, well, it could be worse; they say one child was loomed without legs, another without a brain. They burnt the useless corpses and forbade that genome sequence; or they didn’t. It’s all hearsay, after all.

   But he’s never heard of anyone alive not having legs.

   From a perspective of everything is canon, the Doctor’s childhood rapidly warps into a nightmare.
