SHARKEY


(The Doctor tries Camilla's throne, then Zargo's.) 

DOCTOR: 
Oh yes, this is much more comfortable. 
What were those Hydrax officers called? 

ROMANA: 
Captain Miles Sharkey, 
Navigation Officer Lauren MacMillan, 
Science Officer Anthony O'Connor. 

DOCTOR: 
That's very good. 
Have you ever heard of the Brothers Grimm? 

ROMANA: 
This is no time for fairy tales. 

DOCTOR: 
They also discovered the Law of Consonantal Shift. 
How language changes over the years. 

ROMANA: 
You mean the hard sounds softening, 
B's becoming V's and so on?

DOCTOR: 
Hmm. 

ROMANA: 
Camilla, Aukon and Zargo. 

Wait a minute. 

Sharkey, 
Zharkey, 
Zarkey, 
Zar, 
Zargo. 

The same name passed down through generations.
