Quotes 

• Ravon : [about the Doctor and Harry]  There's something different about those two. They're not Thals and they're not mutos.

  Nyder : We'll find out what's different about them. By autopsy.

• The Doctor : My friend and I are not from your planet.

  Nyder : Aliens?

  Harry Sullivan : Humans. Er, well, I am, anyway.

  Nyder : I've heard Davros say there is no intelligent life on other planets. So either he is wrong or you are lying.

  The Doctor : We are not lying.

  Nyder : And Davros is never wrong about anything.

  The Doctor : Then he must be exceptional. Even I am occasionally wrong about some things. Who is this Davros?

  Nyder : Our greatest scientist. He's in charge of all research at the bunker.

• The Doctor : Tell me, what exactly are mutos?

  Nyder : Mutos are the scarred relics of ourselves. Monsters created by the chemical weapons used in the first century of this war. They were banished into the wastelands where they live and scavenge like animals.

  The Doctor : In other words, genetically wounded.

  Nyder : We must keep the Kaled race pure. Imperfects are rejected. Some of them survive out there.

  The Doctor : That's a very harsh policy.

  Harry Sullivan : It's horrible.

  Nyder : Your views are not important.
