The Doctor gave Peter a sympathetic smile. "I didn't even know about the experiments until last night," he said sadly. "Well, that they were experiments. And I only had an idea of where they were because of a friend who'd heard." And that wasn't even mentioning the danger he'd put Dean and McCoy in by letting them come with him. He was grateful that they'd been there, but all the same... What if Angel Bob had succeeded?
He felt a similar sense of gratitude towards Peter now. "You may have gotten lost on the way, Peter, but you tried," the Doctor said. "Thank you for that."
The Doctor looked towards Brainiac 5, frowning again. "Though I can't agree it's better we didn't find you. Even if we had been too late to stop it from happening, there must have been something we could have done. I'm not sure I believe the experiment was really an 'upgrade', either, but... You're the one who went through the procedure; I'll trust your judgment in deciding whether you want to test it."
Unless it proved to be dangerous for Brainiac 5, or unless something went wrong. The Doctor would put his foot down then.
