That's one bit of news I'm really glad to hear. For a species that was meant to be wiped out, the daleks have been showing up in my recent history far too often, and generally in top form. I owe that botched regeneration that created me to one. Right. I wish I could say I'd done the same in a similar position. Granted, I wasn't really myself the one time a recent companion of mine was mistreated for her race. Still, your Doctor's gained a few points in my book. Remind me not to poke too much fun at his eyebrows next time we talk.
I once had a jealous fit over a cat. I'm not proud of it, but it happened. I'm content with filling the brother role, anyway. Saves him from having to admit that it was technically him getting jealous over the cat as well.
I'm really not hoping he shows up, but if he should, do be careful at least? Remember, this is a man who decimated the human race. Literally. Killed one tenth, because he was a stickler for grammar and literal definitions, even if he was mad as a hatter. I don't necessarily want to discourage that, because loyalty is all well and good, but... We've not always done what's best for the ones we love. I don't know entirely what he's like now, but... Try to keep in mind, he certainly isn't perfect. You shouldn't do anything for him. We've made our fair share of mistakes.
I don't really think this is any sort of simulation, for what it's worth. My best guess at the moment is that whoever runs this place is just... a more powerful race than any I've ever encountered, and they want to gather us for some reason. I'm betting on 'sentient creature zoo' for now, but that could easily change.
