And you have to admit it was jolly clever the way the Teselecta not only fooled the sophisticated sensors which the Silence would doubtless have installed in the suit to guard against just such elementary trickery, but even managed to simulate regeneration energy release when it got shot. For a robot designed to rearrange its outer shell to mimic human forms that's a nifty feature.
I'm now considering a story entitled Zander Nyrond Must Die, in which sixty per cent of the tale is taken up with him explaining how absolutely unalterable and inevitable his death is and taking tearful leave of his many friends, ten per cent with a tear-jerking and utterly moving death scene, twenty-nine per cent with said friends weeping over his lifeless body, tragically recalling the good times and vowing revenge, and half of one per cent with him leaping up and saying "ha ha, fooled you, of course Nyronds can't die, did you really think I meant it?" And then his friends kill him and throw a party to celebrate.
