Sister Jatt (Doctor Who Series Two)

First Appearance: Doctor Who Series Two Episode Two: "New Earth"

Played By: Adjoa Andoh

A member of Sister's of Plenitude, the Cat-kind Sister Jatt worked for the New Earth Hospital (just outside the city of New New York) where she was charged with overseeing and monitoring the experiments that the Sister's were carrying out on their "Lab Rats" in the Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital (hidden from knowledge and off all records).

She was killed by one of her own "experiments" when a member of "The Flesh" touched her and contracted her with all the diseases that the galaxy were aware of by the year 5,000,000,023.


"New Earth" 

Sister Jatt escorted the Doctor to Ward 26 (her veil covering her face at first), while listening to his comments that although the place "looks nice" it needed a "little shop."  Removing her veil she remarks that "a hospital is a place for healing." She ignores his continued attempt of conversation about the shop and explains about the Sister of Plenitude's work and aim to heal the sick of New Earth.

She watches Frau Clovis berate the Doctor before moving him along to follow her request for the Duke of Manhattan to have "a little privacy." She comments that the Duke will be "back on his feet in no time", which the Doctor sees as unlikely since the illness that the Duke was admitted with (Petrifold Regression) was at that time supposedly incurable and he would be a statue. She tells him to "have faith in the Sisterhood", before asking whether or not he recognised a patient in the ward and commenting that it is unusual for her to get a request about visiting a patient without knowing who the patient is. However the Doctor tells her that he knows who he is looking for after spotting the Face of Boe at the far end of the ward.

When the Doctor reaches the Face of Boe, Jatt tells Novie Hame to take care of the Doctor. Before she leaves the Doctor asks her if she can locate Rose at the reception (who had been separated from the Doctor and possessed by the Lady Cassandra O'Brian) which she says she will do.

During the Doctor's conversation with Matron Casp at the bedside of the now cured Duke of Manhattan, Sister Jatt appears and tells her that she is needed in the Intensive Care ward. As they walk away she reports to her that another patient has become "conscious", which Casp replies is something that should not be allowed to happen.

Inside the Intensive Care Ward Jatt begins explaining to Casp that during a "blood-wash" one of "The Flesh" began crying, opening the pod to survey the "specimen." As "The Flesh" begs for their help, she tells Casp to notice the life in "it's" eyes. Casp asks how the Flesh was capable of
"having a vocabulary", to which Jatt replies by noting a thesis written by a fellow Sister- Sister Corven- about "the migration of Sentience," making a side comment that the paper was "well worth a read." Closing the pod on "the Flesh", the two discus reviewing their "brain stem policy" if another incident happens. Questioning what she should do with the latest specimen, Casp orders her to follow the "standard procedure" and incinerate it, which she carries out before following Casp.

Sister Jatt and Matron Casp respond to the alarm that Cassandra (in Rose's body) sets of and goes to confront her in the Ward. She listens to Cassandra's blackmail attempt, typing on her communicator but stops when the latter calls it "institutional murder."  

They watch as the first row of Flesh is woken up, where Jatt suggests that they withdraw before they are infected. They listen as one the Flesh tells them that they have learned about what and how the Sister's had infected them with and commits suicide in order to free the other Flesh from their pods. She expresses terror as she realises that the Flesh are all free and swears that they are free in the name of the Goddess Santori. She is backed into a corner, where she tries to bat them away with her paws. However one of the Flesh touches her face and she is infected almost immediately, dying in agony.
