Alyx Morgan's Research Team

Alyx Morgan brought a **Research Team** with him to the moon in 2088.

## History

The group assisted Morgan with designing a base around their specific needs, intending to use it as a centre of operations for their excursions around the moon itself. Once the base was built, they quietly got on with their individual research and tasks, as Morgan and Aidan Weber coordinated the explorations.

After nearly 6 years of fruitless searching, one member, Necole Mattix, discovered a complex network of underground caves that the team decided was worth exploring. The caves were deeper than anticipated, and from Alyx's perspective, highly suspicious, but they pressed on.

Eventually they came across three psychic creatures, that could inexplicably make anything they wanted come true. Morgan, sensing an opportunity, demanded that all further research be done on what he called the Moonmen. An incredulous and unconvinced Necole Mattix refused, and didn't partake in any further direct contact with the Moonmen. Aidan Weber was at first sceptical but Morgan's insistence of the potential won him over.

The team planned and in part executed the contruction of another moonbase nearby the caves, for more efficient research and eventually hospitality. (TV: *Doctor Who and the Moonmen*)

The team members generally kept out of the way during the main public event, leaving Morgan and presenter Merlin Cayne to welcome the guests. However some were forced from their hiding places during the Moonmen's attack, and three were killed. (TV: *I Am The Doctor*)

***Abandoned Friends*** was the eleventh and penultimate episode of Series 41 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

The Doctor and Anna arrive on a desolate world, with seemingly no one around.

They explore around, with the Doctor getting excitable to see potential sights, although Anna notices some signs that danger could soon arrive. Suddenly, the Doctor accidentally causes a landslide to occur, cutting off the two from the TARDIS. Anna is agitated and gets into an argument with the Doctor for everything that has happened since she started travelling with her. She runs off ahead without the Doctor, causing the Doctor to feel sorry about the situation.

Suddenly, they are both separated and have to work alone to get out of their situation. With Anna in anger, she feels so much better working by herself to get out, while the Doctor cannot handle the stress of potentially losing her friend. Can they make up and get back home before their friendship is shattered forever?

Gunpowder, Treason and Plot (TV story)

***Gunpowder, Treason and Plot*** was the Bonfire Night Special as part of the Eighteenth Doctor Specials of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

The Doctor's attempt to get Tamara and Alexis home takes a turn when the TARDIS materialises in London, just unfortunate then that they have arrived four centuries too early. The date is the 5th November 1605 and there is tension in the air - the TARDIS has materialised the group in the Duck and Drake Inn, right in the middle of the infamous Gunpowder Plot.

With the TARDIS taken away to Holbeche House on the border of Staffordshire, the Doctor and his companions have no choice but to see everything through and go along with the plot, if they hope to be able to return to their ship and get away.

What follows is an unravelling of inevitable events which sees the team pursued across the country alongside the plotters, looking to escape before it’s too late: because if they are caught, then the gang will be prosecuted as conspirators and executed.

It’s a race against time and as the Doctor knows all too well, it’s usually time that wins.

Axel Underwood

**Axel Underwood** was a bassist and human companion of the Twenty-First Doctor.

## Biography

Axel was born in St Jackson's Hospital in Newquay, Cornwall. He was the son of Jacqueline and Terry Underwood. (TV: *Needle Drop*; PROSE: *Hometown Blues*)

When he was a child, Axel would always accompany his friends on walks down towards secluded areas of the beach where they'd play ball games and swim around until sunset. One time, they'd supposedly found a cave a few miles out by the shore by a steep cliff face. Daring one of his friends Otis to have a look inside to see what could be in there, he'd jokingly decided to swim back to shore to make it look as though he'd abandoned him. After waiting for an hour, he still hadn't returned and he grew slightly worried. He later found out that Otis had sustained a fatal injury inside the cave, cutting open his leg and almost drowned after failing to swim back to shore in time. Since then, he had an irrational fear of large bodies of water. (PROSE: *Hometown Blues*)

He supposedly grew up watching Star Trek with his father, which he'd frequently reminded the Twenty-First Doctor of. (TV: *Face the Music*, *The New World*, *Ghosts of E-Space*)

After starting college, he met Roxanne Segal on the same course as him. They'd soon became friends, sometimes practicing their music together in her Uncle's garage. Later, needing a drummer for their newly formed band, the two met Jasmine Hackworth and quickly hit it off.

Their career in music as a band first started off by performing a few gigs in local bars, until one day they'd got kicked out from one place after Roxy picked a fight with one of the drunkards which frequented the area. Axel recalled having to intervene with the fight.

When revisiting his own town, he found out that the bar had been shut down following financial complications and a suspicious landlord. (PROSE: *Hometown Blues*)
Cindy Wu

**Cindy Wu** was a friend of the Tenth Doctor's companion Gabby Gonzalez, and became involved in many of their adventures, eventually becoming a companion of the Doctor alongside Gabby.

## Personality

Cindy's most close and personal relationship was with her best friend Gabby. The pair had been friends since their early teens. Dorothy Bell noted that the two showed incredible loyalty to each other, and wished that she held something similar. She also told the Doctor that they needed space away from him to find themselves.

After Gabby left, Cindy missed her deeply. While she initially diagnosed this as jealousy, she eventually came to the conclusion that she could not bear the thought of not having Gabby around. This was why she eventually decided to join Gabby in the TARDIS. Cindy secretly held romantic interests for Gabby, but she would eventually come to the conclusion that she was "uninterested".

Clyde Langer

**Clyde Langer** was a professional illustrator and assistant journalist who was friends with Sarah Jane Smith and her team. Together with Rani Chandra - whom he was in a relationship with - they co-ran the journalism of their adventures.

## Biography

Clyde Langer was a classmate of Maria Jackson and Luke Smith, becoming good friends with them and eventually going on Sarah Jane’s adventures. Once 18 years old, Clyde was still having adventures, now joined by his partner Rani.

## Personality

Of all of Sarah Jane's young friends, Clyde made wisecracks by far the most, as he acknowledged, and put to good use. He frequently made fun of aliens such as Sontaran Commander Kaagh, calling him a baked spud, and the Bane, describing them as "one-eyed squidy things".

Clyde was also kind and fiercely loyal to Sarah Jane. He was rarely hostile to people and was often helpful, trying to make others he knew feel better, even giving money to Ellie when he first encountered her on the grounds that her homelessness probably wasn't her fault. Clyde was very understanding with Luke, despite his strange behaviour, especially when he did not understand many social aspects of life. At first, Clyde was unsympathetic to the fates of the enemies the team encountered. This opinion changed somewhat over time, as evidenced when he attempted to help the wounded Kaagh. He was very close to his mother.

Unlike Sarah Jane and the Doctor, Clyde believed in fate — the idea that most things happened for a reason, and that events in the universe were connected. He also had a gift of finding out about the bad guys acting like the good guys before anyone else, and people he initially did not trust often turned out to be malicious in the end.
Carys

**Carys** was an officer at the Galactic Census.

## Biography

Once Tari Ackerman had returned to work at the Galactic Census, she met Carys onboard a Galactic Census scout ship on route to the organisation’s headquarters.

However, a swarm of Vashta Nerada from the planet Eanna were also on the ship - with Carys barely managing to survive, she and several other colleagues decided to let the Headquarters rot in the deep of space, in order to let their attackers starve themselves to death. (COMIC: *Shadows*)
Anna Delgado

**Anna Delgado** was a human companion of the Twenty-Fourth Doctor.

## Biography

### Early life

Anna was born to a Chilean-American family and was assigned male at birth, but by her early teens, she realised that she was trans and came out to her family. Luckily for her, they were very accepting so she started transitioning soon after. A shy one in her early days, she ended up warming up and becoming an extrovert and made a few friends. She had a interest in writing stories and animating, earning a degree in writing and soon worked as a major writer, writing several stories.

## Personality

Anna was a kind and caring person, able to talk to easily. She liked to help out and put smiles on people's faces. With the Doctor, they could be very resourceful together and worked out challenging situations.
Creatures (Nightfall)

Unnamed **creatures** from alternate dimensions once stalked the settlement of Dawn, having come through portals created by the Klucuin.

## History

Over the years, the people of Dawn had grown used to their isolation from the rest of creation - until one day, portals began opening in the skies with the Fourteenth Doctor and Sandra Parry falling through, having been thrown into a portal by the Wells Master, who had revealed herself to the Doctor and Sandra and claimed the Shevek Cro'taq for herself.

However, with the Doctor and Sandra's arrival, came the arrival of the creatures and feeling guilty for leading them to Dawn, the Doctor took it on herself to teach the villagers how to defend themselves from the upcoming attacks. They were ultimately successful in defending their home and reassured the Doctor and Sandra that they were prepared, in case they ever returned, allowing the Doctor and Sandra to return home to N-Space. (TV: *Nightfall*)
Asla

**Asla** was the home of the Aslans, a species caught in a ceaseless war against the species from their twin planet, the Sleconians.

## Characteristics

Ashy, almost permanently raining, mountainous and consistently low in temperature, Asla was well known for its picturesque views - due to the way that the snow at the top of the mountains shined against the ash-laid fields and red flora. (TV: *The Guilt War*)

## History

Stuck in a never-ending war against the Sleconians, the cause of which was unknown, lost to time, the Aslan miltary grew paranoid at the thought of losing after the Sleconians begun to gain the upper hand. In order to fight back, they started a deadly missile campaign to destroy the entire surface of Sleconia, wiping out the innocent population alongside the intended target of the Sleconian miltary.

Despite the continuous interference from the Fifteenth Doctor and Madeline Clarke, the Aslans detonated their missiles and wiped out Sleconia. (TV: *The Guilt War*)

However, the Sleconians had been saved by the Doctor and relocated to a moon, where they later attacked Asla by mind-controlling the youth to attack the rest of the population, causing a sacking of the planet. The mind-controlling grew out of control and Asla fell into anarchy. Eventually, Asla fell just as its twin did. (TV: *How to Set the World on Fire*)
Apocalypse, Now! (TV story)

***Apocalypse, Now!*** was the eleventh and penulimate episode of Series 31 of *Doctor Who*. It was the first part of a two-part finale, followed by *The Devil You Know*.

## Synopsis

Murtha, 5615.

The sleepy human colony wakes up in the morning, ready to face the new day - except... it isn’t. The entire planet is regulated by one machine; a machine that releases medicine into the air, that decides when and where to rain or snow, that uses the power of both the clouds and the sun to turn the planet into one massive time zone.

Only now, in mid morning, it’s not daytime anywhere, but rather the whole planet remains plunged into darkness. If that wasn’t bad enough, as the night prevails and time stretches on, it seems as if the literal apocalypse has befallen the colony when the dead rise from their graves in their masses and begin to infect the population with a deadly virus.

When the Doctor and Ruben arrive weeks later, they’re quickly roped into a mission to escort a scientist from deep within Borel city all the way out to the countryside where this machine is positioned and controlled so she may fix the permanent nighttime and release her attempts at a cure.

The obvious solution would be to use the TARDIS, but some outside influence is grounding it, not allowing it to take flight and thus the Doctor, Ruben and a small group of survivors are forced to make their way across the broken landscape, fighting the swarms of the undead with the only light coming from broken street lamps and torches - but the journey ahead is fraught with danger and no one’s safety is guaranteed...

## Cast

* The Doctor - Diane Morgan
* Ruben Gomez - Manny Jacinto
* Inayah Hanson - TBC

## Crew

* Writer - Natalie Robyn
* Director - Edgar Wright

## Story Notes

Benjamin Guggenheim

**Benjamin Guggenheim** was an American businessman. He died aboard RMS *Titanic* when the ship sank in the North Atlantic Ocean. His body was never recovered.

## Biography

Benjamin Guggenheim was one of 2,224 people onboard the *Titanic*, alongside with his mistress, Léontine Aubart. Accompanying the two were Benjamin's valet, Victor Giglio, his chauffeur, René Pernot and Léontine's maid, Emma Sägesser.

Whilst he was onboard, the first known and documented appearance of the Infinity manifested on the ship and soon became regarded by many to be the most expensive item on the ship - worth more than the *Titanic* itself - and as such was used as a status symbol, albeit with nobody knowing its real use.

Benjamin got his hands on the Infinity after having it stolen from Isidor Straus, but such was its status, a form of quasi-conflict was triggered between him, Straus and Jacob Astor - as they fought between each other to obtain possession over the object. This resulted in the three constantly having their servants steal and hide it from the others; which made the job of Ruby and Damien Barrella who needed to remove it from the ship altogether much more difficult. (TV: Unsinkable*)*

The *Titanic* inevitably hit the iceberg, but this was not immediately made aware to Benjamin and co - nevertheless, he eventually abandoned the conflict and helped Léontine and Emma into Lifeboat 9. He soon realised that he would not survive; changing into formal wear with Victor and died as the ship sank, alongside Victor and René. (TV: *A Monument and a Warning*)
Alpha Cancri

A beach on Alpha Cancri, with a city and two of its moons visible.

**Alpha Cancri** was the home planet of the Squid people from outer space.

## Characteristics

A noticeably warm, humid planet, Alpha Cancri had vast green-blue oceans broken up by small sandy continents. Dotted occasionally along the coasts were glass and metal cities built by the Squids, who were the sole inhabitants of the land.

Below the water's surface, the sea floor was dense with life.

    Various seaweeds, corals and ambiguous alien beings were rooted to the sandy ground, and above them, cephalopodic relatives of the Squid people bobbed through the currents. The vibrant below was overseen by large glass tunnels and buildings, accessed via passageways from buildings on land.

## History

Life on Alpha Cancri took a very aqueous evolutionary route. The only surviving land animals were the Squids themselves, who had only evolved to live outside the sea a couple of million years before forming a functional society. Their population boomed now they had no natural predators, and in this safe environment, their collective intelligence skyrocketed. Soon, cities were springing up all over Alpha Cancri, and a select few had their eyes firmly locked towards the stars.

By the time the Seventeenth Doctor, Taylor Bennett and Luna Feng arrived on the planet, full scale interplanetary colonisation tests were underway. The three aliens were treated like freaks upon arrival, nearly being volunteered for mandatory post-mortem examination. However, after convincing the Squids that they were friendly, the higher-ups in the Squid leadership tiers invited them in to help plan their excursions to other worlds.

The first planet to be conquered very quickly became Earth, after Squid surveillance noticed the presence of the terrestrial squid species in Earth's oceans. The Doctor and co., however, rectified the misunderstanding before Earth was taken over.
An Infernal Investigation (TV story)

***An Infernal Investigation*** was the third episode of Series 13 of *Doctor Who*.

Cyber-Drone

The **Cyber-Drones** were disembodied Cyber-heads which served as a secondary attacking force for the Cybermen during their battle at Esubeen versus the Daleks.

## History

Developed by the Cybermen as a way to make use of fallen troops, Cyber-Drones would be created when a Cyberman was killed - with its head detaching from the body and gaining flight - but only if the Cyberman had not been too badly damaged beforehand. From there, the Drone would join the rest of the Cybermen in their quest to locate "the Object".

Before It's All Over (TV story)

***Before It's All Over*** was the ninth episode of Series 18 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

The planet Valcaya is alone.

Close to the end of the universe, the sole planet in a solar system billions of light years from anywhere else in the galaxy spins isolated around a dying star. But it’s a bright point of light in the dark sea. Valcaya is a world of billions of people; having solved nearly every problem presented to them, the Valcayans live in a state of non confrontational bliss, enjoying utopia while they can. So they have turned their gaze towards what was once deemed impossible - immortality.

The Valcayans have realised that all they want from eternal life is their memory; eternal suspension of a living body is a futile endeavor, they believe. And with technology so far advanced from millenia of improving their quality of life, anything should be possible. So, in their free time, the civilisation set itself towards achieving its final goal.

But luck isn’t on their side this time. The star Valcaya encircles is reaching the end of its life fast, and before long the planet will be dead. Aeons of perfect civilisation reduced to dust, its achievements lost forever as the universe burns around it. Valcaya’s top scientists have known this for centuries and have just about managed to keep it a secret - until just a couple of years before the end. Immortality now seems both Valcaya’s saviour and a hopeless lost cause.

Five hundred or so years earlier, all is well with the world. Research is in full swing and everyone is, in general, having a great time. Until the Doctor and his companions hear about the disappearance of a young girl from a distraught family...

Alexandria Manning

**Alexandria Manning** was the wife of Lucy Manning within the simulation that she created for herself.

## Biography

After she returned back to Earth after visiting a colony planet to pick up a virtual reality system, only to find it totally destroyed - Lucy reprogrammed the system to become a simulation of her idealistic life, in order to escape what she believed to be a reality that she no longer wanted to be a part of - where her life had been completely wiped out and all her friends and family were dead.

In reality, the Earth wasteland that Lucy found wasn't the real Earth, but rather a replica created by Earth governments to test weapons on populated areas, without actually killing. As this was a time of humans only now making connections with other species, they were on the whole still rather unsure about them - deciding they were necessary, in case anyone turned on them.

In this simulation, Alexandria was created to be Lucy's wife, with whom she had a daughter, Nessa. However, the Fifteenth Doctor and Pax I eventually entered the simulation and broke the news that Lucy's world was a fake. Lucy didn't believe them and ran off back to Alexandria, who she embraced; but with her mind now open to the possibility of reality, Lucy properly noticed Alexandria’s stilted responses - void of emotion or personality. Trying to elit something using random questions, she realised the Doctor was actually correct, following continued bland answers.

The Doctor offered Lucy a way to escape the simulation, which she took after asking Alexandria what to do; who whispered in her ear - “let go.” (TV: *Final Cut*)
A Conversation With An Auton (TV story)

"What most people do these days."

―The Eighteenth Doctor and the Nestene Consciousness

***A Conversation With An Auton*** was the eleventh episode of Series 21 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

Seoul, 2029. As the sun begins to set, rounding out another day at the South Korean capital, the Doctor finds himself standing outside a particularly posh restaurant, dressed in his best suit and tie. His reason for being there? A message sent to the TARDIS from the Nestene Consciousness; an invitation to dress up well and meet at this location - on the condition that he come alone.

As the Doctor soon discovers, the Nestene has gone into hiding, residing in the body of one of its many Auton robots, where it tries to live a normal, everyday human life in the heart of Seoul. And now, all it requests is a night of fine wine and even finer dining - where it attempts to show remorse and asks how to set things right. Stories of charity meetings, fundraisers and so much more; to an outsider, it could seem like the Nestene isn’t lying.

With Ruby and Damien currently away, it’s up to Osric to investigate the Nestene's private life in search for any possible wrong-doings it may be hiding on his own, yet the Doctor can't help but begin to wonder; is the Nestene genuinely sincere and has it actually repented? Or is it a ploy to lower his guard, so it can ultimately destroy him?

He doesn't really know, but tonight, he'll find out.

Adipose 3

**Adipose 3**, also known as **Breeding Planet One**, was the planet used by the Adipose or, more specifically, the Adiposian First Family, to breed their young, before being taken home by the wet nurse that took care of them.

## History

The planet was infiltrated by the Sontarans, who bred a new Cloned Adipose subspecies out of both Adipose and Sontaran DNA in a secretly taken over region of the planet. However, rumours of this army spread not just amongst the native Adipose, but beyond the planet itself - until it reached the Twentieth Doctor and Drelick. There, they landed on Adipose 3, pretending to be inspectors in order to investigate. They uncovered what was happening and to stop the mass production, destroyed the breeding tanks. This forced the Sontarans to call off the mission and they returned to Sontar. The subspecies was subsequently abandoned as neither of them had reached fully maturity - and thus were adopted into Adipose society. (TV: *The Trouble With Adipose*)
Aidan Weber

**Aidan Weber** was an explorer and colleague to Alyx Morgan.

## Biography

Weber was born in Berlin, Germany, in 2063. He became frustrated with the lack of new places to discover on his home planet and so decided to turn towards space as his goal. Becoming acquainted with Alyx Morgan, he established a base on the moon for in-depth research and further exploration. It was completed in late 2088.

After living on the moon for 6 years, Alyx Morgan and his research team conducted a thorough investigation of a maze-like cave system that he had discovered. Here he uncovered the Moonmen, what he believed to be a benevolent all–powerful alien race prepared to give humanity anything they desired. Morgan took this as an opportunity to further spread his sphere of influence amongst Earth's upper classes and bring himself more towards the status of being a household name. Consequently he set up another moonbase - the fifth that he had had influence in the construction of - and, with Weber as his unofficial business partner, used it as a pseudo–tourist attraction for paid visitors to observe and interact with the creatures he had found. (TV: *Doctor Who and the Moonmen*)

When the Seventeenth Doctor and Jayanna IX arrived, setting rogue Time Lord Roki XII's plan into motion, the Moonmen became hostile. Weber was very adept at hindering the creatures' attacks on his mind, and so survived the ordeal almost unscathed. He sat through the chaos sane enough to have a grasp of the scale of the atrocity, and so was furious when he discovered that a single man was personally responsible for the deaths. He shot Roki in the stomach with a pistol he had concealed on him, nearly killing the Time Lord. Roki, however, escaped until the Moonmen broke him down fully and killed him themselves. (TV: *I Am The Doctor*)

## Personality

Aidan was an incredibly intelligent man. He was seen by some as unpleasantly cold and calculating, a concern sometimes heightened by his thick German accent. However, he was fiercely loyal and, to those he became friends with, very charming. (TV: *I Am The Doctor*)

Expedition leader 2

An **expedition leader** was in charge of one of the two factions created on an Earth colony planet.

## Biography

Older and some might call wiser, this leader was quietly against the colony's other leader's construction of an AI system which replicated human behaviour, for the intent of being programmed into computers and robots. It was hoped that this A.I. would then go on to replace humans as the colony's labour force; allowing regular people to live out their lives beyond work.

The leader believed this would make people lazy - and soon enough, her chance to get rid of it would come at the hand of a mysterious being. She was offered unlimited knowledge and technology if she secretly sabotaged the A.I.'s development with the help of this being.

However, this heavily backfired as something in the A.I.'s code changed radically and it became dangerously homicidal. The leader was the last to be killed after everyone else had been massacred at the hands of the A.I's robots, being crushed to death by robot hands. She died never knowing why the being wanted the AI shut down in the first place. (TV: *Theory of the Mind: Part One*)

Cheirismós (TV story)

***Cheirismós*** was the tenth episode of Series 5 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

When the TARDIS materialises on Cheirismós, a desolate and isolated planet, the Doctor and Sandra find themselves in a barren wasteland stretching all across the planet's surface. Everywhere they look, there's miles and miles of dead crop fields and desert plains, with only one small town far off in the distance. A town that is completely abandoned and run down, with most of the buildings built out of decaying grey wood, and architecture bearing a striking resemblance to Southern America in the 1800s.

But despite appearances, something feels ever so slightly off about this American ghost town. And suspicions are only confirmed when after splitting up to investigate, Sandra enters one of the shacks, revealing a large empty room, with skeletons piled up to the ceiling.

As Sandra recoils in shock, turning and rushing back out again, the whole planet’s landscape morphs in a flash, reconstructing itself before her very eyes. Just seconds later, Sandra finds herself in her own personal paradise, with glittering rivers, vast forests that went on as far as the eye could see, and towering mountains capped with the purest snow. Whilst Sandra is quick to enjoy herself, the Doctor remains sceptical. It's become clear that the planet locks onto an individual’s psyche and moulds itself to suit their desires - but it seemed far too good to be true. After all, why would someone desire to be in an abandoned town with a bunch of dead bodies? Soon the Doctor's suspicions are proven right when the planet begins to shift once more, and their environment, which previously catered to Sandra’s own desires, slowly twists into a horror of her own making...

Catalist

**Catalist** was the fourth planet away from the Alae-1700 star and a member of the Alae Republic, alongside planets such as Arkha and Zanra. It was also the original home of the Catalast species.

## Characteristics

A dark and stormy planet, Catalist was, for the most part, a gas giant with howling storms battering the few islands of land that hovered in the sky, thanks to a special mineral buried deeper with the core of the ground which kept the islands elevated. The atmosphere was a constant navy blue and white clouds often zoomed around above.

To hide from the storms, the Catalasts built large, underground cities which helped to keep them safe and sound from the winds outside. These cities were so large, that it seemed like they themselves had a sky with the dirt layer far above, being unable to be seen from the city surface. A thin layer of mist also worked towards disguising the roof. (TV: *Spiders and Fireworks*)

## History

A Catalist city in the form of Iriemond was the site of another plot of the Eighth Master's, who had kidnapped civilians from the planet and experimented on them, transforming them into large and vicious spiders. The Master had no scheme to do with the spiders, she just enjoyed the fun to be had from watching the chaos caused by their attack on the population. Alec O'Conor discovered the Master and her lair, before using a packet of fireworks to destroy the Master's conversion machine. (TV: *Spiders and Fireworks*)

Catalast was said to be involved in the Fallen War by Azana, who claimed it was doing better than Arkha at least. (TV: *The Fallen War*)
Bril

**Bril** was a humanoid who was caught up in the Juvenile's scheme to obtain more regeneration energy.

## Biography

Whilst living her normal day-to-day life, Bril was teleported off her home planet and onto a random planet, where she met the Fourteenth Doctor, Connor McMillan, Frye Fly Fillif, Dpondore and Almandoe. Whilst exploring the temple, Almandoe and the others came to understand that a Time Lord who called himself the Juvenile had kidnapped them, searching for more Time Lords to steal regeneration energy from. His methods reacted differently on non-Time Lords, instead causing hallucinations of deceased people they knew before dying themselves.

Bril ultimately survived the encounter and was taken back home by the Doctor after her confrontation with the Juvenile.

Fleur (Parallel)

## Fleur

A version of **"Fleur"** from an alternate timeline joined forces with the Daleks in order to assist them in their 4001 invasion of Earth.

## Biography

After the Daleks constructed a paradox machine in order to manipulate time and maintain the paradox that they created with invading Earth in 4001 - (TV: *The Paradox Machine*) with history originally stating that the planet was still standing in one piece at least 50 years later in 4059 - (TV: *Feline Trouble at the Tower*) an alternate version of Fleur was created once she arrived in the destroyed ruins of London with the Fourteenth Doctor and Elias Danielsen. Due to the paradox machine unravelling anybody near its timelines, Fleur being full of artron energy due to her being a time traveller and having such a dark past, this made her the perfect subject for a new variant, even if it did come about accidentally.

This version of Fleur came from a timeline where the Doctor and Elias had never arrived on Jaromso, and thus, she spiralled down a twisted path with no one to save her from her own personal hell. She later rose up through the ranks of a gang and eventually became its leader, turning into a feared crime boss with a large stake of power on Jaromso.

Many years into her rule, she approached the Daleks who were gearing up for an Earth invasion to enact a revenge of the Doctor - and set up an agreement where she would send supply ships and military aid to assist the Daleks in exchange for more power. Once on Earth, she begun to properly assist the Daleks in their quest to change the course of history forever with the destruction of Earth, which would wipe out the human race. However, she was confronted with the original Fleur, who was shocked at this version of herself.

The alternate Fleur was later wiped from existence after the Doctor finally destroyed the Daleks' paradox machine, ensuring time snapped back into place. (TV: *The Warrior's Way*)
