"Adric was just a boy. Oh he was brilliant, a mathematical genius! And I didn't keep him close enough and he was trying to save Earth. Save us. Instead, he ended up on a ship, one that exploded and incidentally wiped out the dinosaurs, but that's not the point. I can go back, I can get him off that ship before it explodes, Jack. I can save him. He can grow up and use that mind of his to do the amazing things he was meant to do...before he met me."

So many lives ruined just by meeting him, and Adric was a pain he'd buried so deep he sometimes let himself forget. But now, now he could remember and he could break the rules and he could fix it!
