[ ᴠᴏɪᴄᴇ ]
I have a question about nanites.
[Said casually, but with a certain amount of self-importance. Clara Oswald opens conversations as though they were great doors to be flung.]
They're what bring us back when we die, yeah? They repair what's malfunctioned, like... like a pit team. [She thinks that's what they're called, at least.] But what if nothing's there to fix? That's what I want to know. If there's no body left, there are no nanites left, so the Porter just... rematerializes you? Plops down a backup file? If there's too much damage to fix, what exactly happens?
[It's all asked in a very matter-of-fact, academic tone. Clara could maybe use a lecture on morbidity from her past self.]
