“I don’t want to die,” she said quietly. As far as pleas for mercy went, she would rate it a 1/10. Not great, but the best she could come up with under the circumstances – and she’d challenge anyone else to do better when staring down the embodiment of death itself.

Summary
Wars are fought by soldiers but won by strategy. In a war fought across time and space, there is hardly a general whose plans could outwit those of Irving Braxiatel (a man perfectly aware of that fact). When he decides to fight, what could possibly defeat him? Only, perhaps, himself.
(There are no spoilers for any events in Gallifrey or Bernice Summerfield. Canon compliance/divergence depends on how you squint because Brax has a timeline like a pretzel.)
