The Golden Hendecahedron (short story)

File:RealWorld.png

 ←Previous

***The Golden Hendecahedron*** was the twelfth story in the anthology *Iris: Fifteen*. It was written by Cody Quijano-Schell.

## Summary

Visiting a temporal technology lecture, Iris is struck by an energy surge that severs her timeline. This splits her into two identical Irises (the Katy Manning Iris), one of which grows younger, the other growing older. The growing-younger Iris slowly regresses through previous incarnations, the growing-older Iris progresses through possible future incarnations.

## Characters

* Iris Wildthyme
* Tom
* Panda

## Notes

* It is revealed the regeneration is a quantum side-effect of being a time-traveller. Because a time traveller is outside of time, there are less (or no) parallel timeline versions of themselves. Cosmic balance demands that periodically these parallel versions be expressed in the form of regeneration: a biological, physical, quantum, temporal change.

## Continuity

* The Golden Hendecahedron is the 11-sided predecessor to the Dodecahedron. (TV: *Meglos*)
* References are made to the disastrous research of Allis and Ballis. (AUDIO: *The Wormery*)

As night falls again, the dogs can be held off no longer — and the sisters' secret is about to be revealed. Forced to draw his enemy off into the depths of the TARDIS, the Doctor finds himself in a nightmarish chase through his own ship — but is he the pursuer, or the pursued?

Mictlan

Template:Infobox Location

**Mictlan** was the extra-dimensional home of the Celestis, who created it after their migration from the Homeworld. It served as a metaphysical bomb shelter removed from spacetime. It made its occupants immune to time winds or changes imposed on Gallifrey's past. (PROSE: *The Taking of Planet 5*) The appearance of this realm varied with the perceptions of its inhabitants. (PROSE: *Alien Bodies*) It was created by the use of block-transfer engines and computational matrices which also linked all the Lord Celestials who made up the Last Parliament.

The Celestis took those close to death to Mictlan. (PROSE: *Autumn Mist*) As a result, many viewed it as a form of hell. (PROSE: *The Book of the War*) The Bone Museum of Mictlan served as a library for agents of the Celestis. It held information on the Doctor. In addition, the Plain of Bones was located in this realm.

It was destroyed due to the actions of a renegade Celesti, the Hermit, and the Fendahl Predator. (PROSE: *The Taking of Planet 5*)

## Behind the scenes

* Mictlan was the name of the Aztec underworld.

Lost on Mars (novel)

## Plot

The Robinson family Da, Ma, Lora, Al and Hannah, alongside their Servo-furnishing robot Toaster, set about harvesting the rest of their crops in anticipation of an impending storm. The storm hits sooner than expected and the family only just manage to make it back inside their Homestead in time, but find that the house has been trashed by Grandma - whose sanity has begun to deteriorate. When the storm has passed the Robinsons are pleased to discover that their storage hut was untouched, however their Burden beasts Molly and George had perished to the elements.

Heading into town Da visited the Storehouse while Lora and Al went shopping at Adams' Exotic Emporium. In the shop Mrs Adams and a few other ladies were gossiping about how the Simcox family lost their baby during the storm. Later their father revealed that he had heard rumour of another disappearance, this time vagabond Horace, but Da insists that they shouldn't listen to idle chatter. The Robinsons invited the townsfolk for a barbeque at their Homestead that night, where they would be serving up the remains of Molly and George, but the Simcoxes and Horace are noticeably absent lending credit to the rumours.

*You may be looking for the titular event.*

***The Peterloo Massacre*** was the two hundred and tenth story in Big Finish's monthly range. It featured the Fifth Doctor, Tegan, and Nyssa.

## Publisher's summary

"They say there’ll be thousands pouring into Manchester tomorrow. From all over the county, north and south. It’ll be a piece of history. People will remember this!"

Lost in the smog of the Industrial Revolution, the TARDIS crashes four miles south of Manchester, in the grounds of Hurley Hall – a grand mansion belonging to a local factory owner, a proudly self-made man. But while Hurley dreams of growing richer still on the wealth of secret knowledge locked up in the Doctor’s time and space machine, his servants hope only for a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work. His young maid Cathy, for instance, whom Nyssa learns is looking forward to joining the working people’s march to St Peter’s Field, in the heart of the city. There’ll be speeches and banners and music. It’ll be like one big jamboree…

Or so she thinks. For the city’s establishment have called in their own private militia, to control the crowd. One of the darkest days in Manchester’s history is about to unfold – and the Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan are right in the thick of it.

## Continuity

* The TARDIS's automated repair systems will take a day or two. The Doctor's previously referred to the TARDIS knowing how to fix something if it's happened before. (PROSE: *The Sands of Time*)

Against Nature (novel)

*Against Nature* is the first Faction Paradox novel from Obverse Books, and was written by Lawrence Burton.

## Publisher's summary

Every fifty-two years, the God Xiuhtecuhtli – incarnate for the purpose as a young Mexica male – would give himself in sacrifice in order that the universe should be renewed and the passage of time would continue as it had done before. Those born to other cultures and other eras might be forgiven for their failure to appreciate this great and selfless act.

It was therefore strange that such a profound understanding should arise in one so far removed from the heart of this world, both veteran and victim of the terrible, endless war in heaven, a man the Mexica
knew briefly as Coahualxiu bearing a death wish the size of creation…

## Characters

* Primo Acamapichtli Isleño de la Vega

PRIMER FOR THE SPIRAL POLITIC (POST-WAR EDITION)

4: THE MUNIFICENT ARMY OF PEKING

Era: human historical (later period).

Technology: Military (self-contained), non-time-active.

By the end of the fifth millennium AD, the homunculi created by the human species -- clones, cross-breeds, fighting-machines and artificial intelligences of all descriptions -- outnumbered humanity by more than thirteen to one: but even so, there were no creations like those of Peking. Heading a thousand-strong army of individually-crafted automata, the twelve commanders were self-aware embodiments of the oriental zodiac, forged to a strict astrological design and said to incorporate history itself in their operating program. After the fall of Peking, however, most were never accounted for...

In addition to stories featuring the First through Eighth Doctors set in the *Doctor Who* universe, this anthology featured stories set in "other universe" settings such as those of *Dr. Who and the Daleks* and *Doctor Who: The Ultimate Adventure.*

## Publisher's summary

*How many lives has the Doctor had? Perhaps more than you think...*

Follow the Doctor and his companions as they take short trips around the universe — perhaps to a Wild West overrun with dinosaurs, to a land where robot rabbits roam, or a planet where the Doctor must marry or die — and then step sideways into other universes — worlds full of song and dance; planets made entirely of sweets; lands of movie monsters; places where the Doctor as we know him may never have existed at all...
