Need some help getting rid of a Sue by

Yesterday I found a mission I had been working on on a friend's computer. I'd forgotten I'd even written the mission. (That Bleeprin is some potent stuff) The Sue's been charged, all that's needed is a good way to get rid of her. I remember I had such a method, but having forgotten about the mission, I also forgot about that method.
The thing is, the Sue's Jack Harkness' daughter and she claims his immortality has passed on to her. So if I shoot her she just resuractes. I think I have three options now:
1) reasoning with the Sue that she cannot be immortal;
2) burying her maffia style (in the concrete foundations of a building);
3) bumming a ride of a couple of agents that have a TARDIS (my agents weren't around when those were issued) and drop the Sue in the black hole where the Doctor (10) dropped one member of the Family of Blood (because they too wanted to be immortal).
I like the irony of the last one. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Whose agents can spare a couple of minutes to help out my agents? -

Prove that his immortality hasn't gotten passed onto her by killing her in a logic field.

She's dead, therefore she's obviously not immortal.
She's obviously not immortal, as she's dead. -

I like the idea of doing 1 and then 2. Acting like the Mafia is always fun, even if I did confuse them with raffia once.

Why not try taking care of her Highlander style, with a quick decapitation?

And then keep her head and body separate. Let's see if she can come back from that one.

... while Jack can survive in an environment that should atomise him (see Utopia), he did so by not being atomised, rather than by re-forming, she may well not be able to.
Or you could always find some creature or artefact which kills immortals. There's a few around the multiverse. You can probably find someone on-Board to name one for most of the major canons which have immortals.

Or Slaanesh, who has a habit of consuming immortal souls every day. Of course, she may be unpalateable.

Or was it the Watcher in the Water? Maybe both... Anyway, my point is that Cosmic Horrors with enough power to consume immortals are a dime a dozen, maybe cheaper.

And since Slaanesh would just turn her into a minion, I think one of the C'tan should do the trick. After all, Life Force is a delicacy for them. What do you think?

I make bookshelf beasties in my spare time... Cthulhu is one of them. He has little tentacles made of yarn, is four inches tall, has a wingspan of seven inches. Stuffed, literally. Ish sho kyoot!

I sold one in the local sci-fi/fantasy con's art auction once. I have also made a rat creature (from the comic series "Bone") and a Balrog. Helen Wheels calls him "mini-Bobby" and I have no idea why.

Here's an idea - release some sort of massive Biblical demon that feeds on life energy, and, when they've killed each other, CUT HER LIPS OFF. That way no bloody Welsh police officers can snog her and bring her back.

Stick her in a sun and turn up the TARDIS's internal time vs external time. (ala "the Runaway Bride" formation of the Earth). The Sue should end up spending her life energy rather quickly. That, or hook her up to New New York's power grid.

Having the Sue's immortality disappear in a puff of logic is such a nice thing, don't you agree?

It wasn't just a black hole. What the man said was "the event horizon of a collapsing galaxy". Which is about ten orders of magnitude larger. Like Pads says, those are very good shields.
You might want to consider how Upstairs will take leaving a 'Sue alive, even if she's trapped, though. They got rather ticked off at Jay and Acacia for leaving one to the Elves, as I recall.

... is there a section on how to deal with immortal Sues?
I'm not sure bringing them here is such a good idea either. If possible, the agents are planning on taking her out of fandom. -

There was already one Jack Harkness Stu that got chained up in Tartarus, and we discussed, a short while back, the possibility of using the Holders to dispose of those Sues who can't be outright killed.

I usually hedge my bets and not even try to name names when I'm referencing things, because I'm terrible at remembering names.
Well, that's my two bits anyhow. If you're interested in cosmic horrors and things, check out the Holders. They've got an article on the Wiki for your quick-reference edification needs. -

I like the last one too. Although now that I think about it, the TARDIS must have incredible shields to actually be able to drop someone in a black hole...

it is also completely immune to the gravitational effects of said black hole- it can tow a rocket twice its size out of the hole's field with no visible problems.
