     I just saw "The Keeper of Traken" and am confused about what the
Master did.  He says that he is on his 12th regeneration.  At the end
of the episode he takes over the body of Nyssa'a father.  How was he
able to do this?  The Doctor regenerates by using his own body and the
Master regenerates by taking someone else's?  Or was this something
different than regeneration?  Whatever he did, he couldn't have used
the power of The Source because his efforts to control it had already
been thwarted by the Doctor.
