The Child of Time ( comic story ) The Child of Time was a " Doctor Who Magazine " comic strip featuring the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond . It concluded the Chiyoko arc . Summary . The clock is ticking , as the Doctor and Amy find themselves trying to avert Chiyoko ' s creation and prevent a galactic war in Earth ' s future . The whole universe is hanging in the balance and the time vortex is close to complete collapse . Travelling between worlds that shouldn ' t exist and meeting long dead souls , the Doctor and Amy ' s toughest adventure could prove to be their last . . . The end of everything is approaching , at the hands of a little girl who wants to live forever . Plot . Part 1 . The Doctor and Amy follow Chiyoko through the Time Vortex . She is ensuring that her creation occurs . She sends the Vorlax drone to 2011 , Eldritch Valdemar to Paris in 1858 and frees Axos from the Time loop to invade Earth . The TARDIS lands on Earth during a battle between humans and the Galatean s . The humans , led by Captain Kaido , take the Doctor and Amy to their base , where they meet Sergeant Sokkuri , another human rescued by Kaido . The Doctor and Amy discover the remaining humans worship Chiyoko as a goddess . To stop the Galateans from capturing Earth , Kaido uses a machine that only responds to her brain waves to activate a network of bombs under the Earth ' s crust and destroy the planet . After doing this , she is shot by Sokkuri , a Galatean in disguise . She tries to absorb Kaido ' s brain waves to halt the explosion , but is killed by Kaido . Chiyoko appears to the Doctor and Amy and tells them she started the war to see whether humans or Galateans are superior ; the Galateans were successful and shall continue living . Since the humans were inferior , they must " go away " , as must the Doctor and Amy . She disappears . Before the Doctor can stop the countdown , the Earth explodes . Part 2 . The Doctor and Amy wake in the country . They meet a man who introduces himself as Alan Turing . While Turing makes them tea at his house , the Doctor tells Amy he should not be here ; it is mid - July , and Turing killed himself in June by eating a poisoned apple . Unfortunately , Turing overhears this conversation . The Doctor tells Amy to take a look around the surrounding area . Turing shows the Doctor some theories he is working on . Turing has developed chaos theory twenty years early . Meanwhile , Amy finds a dodo wandering the streets with a scrap of parchment in its mouth . She grabs the parchment , then sees the dodo run through a portal into a seemingly - abandoned chapel . At the same time , Turing tells the Doctor he did try to end his life , but was saved at the last moment , by a girl named Chiyoko . In the chapel , Amy finds Buddy Holly writing a musical with John Keats starring Jayne . As soon as she tries to talk to them , they are shot by spider - like robots resembling Galateans . Circuitry falls out of the three people ; they are robots . Back in Wilmslow , the Doctor knows that Chiyoko couldn ' t change history without endangering her existence , so this isn ' t 1954 . He opens a portal with his sonic , and shows Turing he is living in a dimensional projection . Through the portal , they can see portals to many places and eras , an abandoned museum of time . The Doctor and Turing find themselves out of the projection , held at gunpoint by the Brontë sisters . They are robots themselves , and have rescued Amy . Turing discovers he himself is a robot , and happily claims he is the ultimate expression of the Turing test . Emily Brontë explains the robots are Galateans , ten million years on , and " the Museum of Lost Opportunities " was founded by Chiyoko as a memorial to the human race in the ruins of planet Earth . The Galateans have colonised every star in the sky , and all other races have been destroyed . The Galateans appear and kill Emily . After shooting them , the remaining Brontës claim the Galateans have been driven insane and seek to destroy all other life forms . The Brontës ' programming decay and they discovered their true nature . They take everyone to a time scoop which they used to rescue the Doctor from the dying Earth . The Brontës want to use it to wipe the Galateans from history , and know only the Doctor has knowledge to change history . The Doctor knows that if he refuses , the Galteans will kill them all . They burst through , attempting to kill everyone . As they hide , the Doctor explains that they can ' t escape via the time scoop without being shot at first , and Anne Brontë bids them goodbye . . . Part 3 . Back on Earth in the near future a falling star brings an infection that spreads rapidly , soon becoming a pandemic . Robots travel the land , identifying new victims and sterilising the derelict towns with a circle of fire each with a radius of one mile for every new case found . The Doctor , Amy and Turing are sent back by Charlotte Bronte , arriving amidst the devastation . Turing says that this is the time of the creation of the Galateans . He says that the history books need to be rewritten or this is the end of humanity . The Doctor explains that it is not so simple : this is the time before Chiyoko ' s interference began . They are confronted by one of the robots . It says that contaminated life forms must be sterilised but their presence is noted by humans in an underground facility . The robot detects that they are not contaminated and takes them to the facility . The Doctor tells Amy that he is rather vague on this time period but is surprised that a cure has not been found . The trio are taken to Keltor Jacobs . He introduces himself as the last hope for the human race . He tells them that the Doomsday Plague has all but wiped out the human race and the research stations across the empire are going out one by one . His assistant , Chloe , says that they have spent five years looking for n alternative solution and have settled on the creation of Galateans : robots containing the uploaded minds of the human race . Turing tries to tell them that the Galateans are not the solution but the destruction of humanity . He says that the duplicates will come to believe that they are the originals and will wipe out the humans believing them to be imposters . Chiyoko materialises among them and makes it that the three newcomers were never there . Like phantoms , they have to watch as Chloe activates the Galateans just three hours before Research Station Minerva reports that it has found a cure for the plague . Jacobs tries to recall the Galateans but they have already started killing the humans . They tell Jacobs that humanity is weak and vulnerable and that now is the time of the Galateans . Jacobs tries to abort the Galateans with an EM pulse but Chiyoko kills him . The Doctor says that she is diverting the course of history to ensure her own creation . She turns to him and agrees that playing with time is fun . She takes them to the planet Kepler IV , one thousand years later , to witness the glories of war . The Doctor asks her how she can enjoy standing on a battlefield , watching two armies annihilate each other just so that she can come into being . She turns to him and tells him that he made it happen by creating her . The Doctor tells her that the Galateans wipe out all other life in the galaxy and begs her to put things back the way they were . She tells him that such an action would mean giving up her own life and that she has as much right to exist as anyone else . He tries to argue that if her existence depends on the obliteration of everybody else then she should give up her life . When she says she has no pity for the dead he tells her that he can have no pity for her . He asks her to remember that he gave her a chance . She tells him that he is funny and that it is time for him to go away . She puts the Doctor , Amy and Turing back in London on the day that Earth was blown up . The Doctor says that they have been brought here to die and comments on how tidy it is to end this way . Amy screams as a ship hovers towards them , blasting at them . Part 4 . It turns out that the ship is actually shooting at the earlier versions of the Doctor and Amy as they scramble across the rubble . The Doctor decides that this time they can escape the same way that they did the last . He , Amy and Turing follow the same route into the ruins of St Paul ' s . The Doctor adjusts a rifle to nerve paralysis setting and shoots two guards . They then find their way into the bomb control room and hide . This time , the Doctor shoots his and Amy ' s earlier versions , knocking them out , so that when the time scoop picks them up he can greet the Bronte sisters and readjust the time scoop to bring Turing along , too . He then puts their past selves into the Wilmslow time bubble to meet the earlier Turing . Chiyoko materialises among them and threatens to wipe them from history . The Doctor says that this isn ' t a safe option for her and scoops up Cosette , Margaret and Konami from before they were absorbed into the TARDIS . He then wipes the coordinates so that Chiyoko won ' t know where they came from , or when . That way , he says , her own existence will be under threat if she takes any drastic action . Amy whispers to Turing that she doesn ' t follow any of this . He replies that it is a bit beyond him , too . Chiyoko is overcome by pain and regret as she feels empathy for the first time . The Doctor asks her to unwrite her own existence . She admits she is scared and , sobbing , sends her component lives back to the places they were last in before they were absorbed . Amy notices that the universe is growing dark ; the Doctor says that it is being erased as it ceases to exist . He time scoops the TARDIS to them and sets the controls for Keltor Jacobs ' laboratory just after the Galateans are awoken . He tells them that the cure for the Doomsday Plague is about to be announced . Turing calls the Galateans as they awake on Moonbase and tells them that he is the last of the Galatean race . He sends them his memory files so that they can see a future that must never exist , thus averting the war . He hopes that the organic and artificial humans can live together in harmony . Amy calls the Doctor into the TARDIS where Chiyoko is dying . The Doctor takes her to Moonbase where she is remade as a Galatean . The Doctor takes Amy to an observation platform to look down on the planet Earth below . References . " to be added " Story notes . " to be added "
