Isolation (TV story)

*You may be looking for the Series 29 episode, Isolated.*

***Isolation*** was the tenth and final episode of Series 27 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

After coming back from the brink of regeneration, the Doctor and Penelope only ask for a normal, one uneventful adventure, a trip which only contains wonders and no running this time. Isn’t that too much to ask for? Apparently it would seem so, as a casual trip to Mars turns out to be bigger than either thought...

TARDIS scans have picked up the faint indication of life below the planet’s surface, and with both personalities drawn to such life, they soon allowed their curiosity to get the better of them. The two eventually find themselves within a stable, isolated atmosphere, deep below the Martian soil, with something no one ever witnessed on Mars; not in eons! Green grass and... life.

But something is very off about it; a holographic sky above them, a very clear smell of artificial air and populated by humans who seem to be in medieval stage of development, and from the TARDIS team’s accounts, unaware that their home isn’t real and on another planet for that matter.

The question burning in the Doctor’s mind is why and how a little town from Medieval England ended up in a high tech holographic dome deep beneath the martian surface. However, before they’re able to get some answers, the two are found out by the people, called out for being witches and tied up in the town square as a sacrifice to their god, who then makes an appearance, for the God has recognised the faces of the Doctor and Penelope specifically.

The Partisan is back, rebooting the experiments he was forced to abandon, but his motives are less malicious this time than before. The townsfolk seem to willingly follow the rogue Time Lord, seeing him as a saviour from what they describe as a dragon-like creature, which the Partisan describes to be a "Timezilla", a creature that utilizes the Time Vortex to swallow the life forces of anything that is unfortunate to be in its path...

Isolated (TV story)

*You may be looking for the Series 27 episode, Isolation.*

***Isolated*** was the first episode of Series 29 of *Doctor Who*. It was the first part of a two-part story, followed by *Feel No Evil*.

The first story to be produced for the Twenty-First Doctor's era of the show, it also introduced Kane Solace as portrayed by Jamie Bell as the Twenty-First Doctor's new companion.

## Synopsis

The Mercury Valley Refuelling Station has remained silent for decades. Nobody really has any idea what happened to it. One day, they just went dead. Did Earth Control ever dispatch a ship to investigate what happened? No, of course not. Why would they care? It's hardly on their list of things to do after all...

However, for young Anti-Cyber Squadron Leader Kane Solace, it's now become his number one priority. Whatever remains onboard the slowly collapsing station, he seems adamant on retrieving all by himself; but obviously, what he didn't factor in to the equation was encountering a delusional young lady mumbling around a old, blue police box....

Oh, and did I mention the lumbering, half-decayed creature stalking the maze of corridors that had happened to be festering amongst the tens of scorched, rotting corpses - having come from a military ship, crashed into the side of the station? And the large silver rodents who seem to have an infatuation with all things electronic...

New Oceania

**New Oceania** (originally just known as **Oceania**) was an ocean planet turned into a tourist spot.

## Characteristics

Its original environment mostly unknown, New Oceania's surface had been entirely flooded by the forces of nature, destroying its vast cities. Nevertheless, it was known that the planet was significantly mountainous.

Unique to New Oceania, however, were chemicals that were produced by gases buried beneath the crust which had regenerative properties to the Veil in particular, influencing their decision to settle there. As the Veil grew in number, they constructed vast cities. (TV: *Body Swap*)

## History

The Veil arrived at Oceania after escaping the hyperdimensional vault underneath St Jude's Hospital in search of a new home and carved architecture and cities out of the natural materials around them, building a citadel out of the face of a mountainous region of Oceania.

Later, after the planet had been renamed to New Oceania, it was opened up for tourism from other species, eventually being visited by the Sixteenth Doctor and Iriel.

## Synopsis

On the fringes of human space, Azura, a human colony, is preparing for war. The enemy is unknown however, and when the Doctor lands the TARDIS at the capital of the colony, she finds the streets littered with military patrols, curfews and scared civilians.

At the head is a tyrannical General who has declared martial law; but things aren’t all what they seem. He appears to be compassionate, under stress, and believes he is doing the right thing. The Doctor isn’t convinced however, and works behind the scenes with a small-scale resistance cell to thwart him.

But is the Doctor doing the right thing? If they get rid of him, will the planet survive the upcoming war? Can the Doctor unravel the full story? And who is the enemy the General is so afraid of?

*"Oh no, here comes the rainbow squad! Ahhh, I'm scared!"
"Hey, look; a Dalek's a Dalek. It'll kill you all the same."

Morgaine

**Morgaine** was the powerful sorceress who did battle with King Arthur and Merlin in Camelot, and the mother of Mordred. One account suggested that she was one of many emanations of the interdimensional Guardian of Magic, Morgwen.

## Biography

22 years after her defeat at the hands of the Seventh Doctor, Morgaine managed to escape from her prison that she had been trapped in by UNIT in the year 2019 - as the organisation had temporarily shut down and thus, no guards were maintained at the prison. She returned to Carbury, where she found that the town had turned the fact they were "invaded" into a selling point; constructing statues of her and King Arthur. A few tourists even believed that she was in cosplay and wanted to take photos with her. Carbury was also now home to Ancelyn and Bambera, who made a life of their own together.

All these factors, plus her belief that she had been made a mockery of by the town and the fact that so many years of her long life had been spent under the view and control of UNIT and - Morgaine grew a deep desire for revenge and wanted to return things to the old ways.

She began terrorising Carbury on Christmas Day, with legions of soldiers to raze it to the ground, the first step in annihilating the entire planet - this attracted the attention of Kate Stewart, who called for the help of the Doctor considering that UNIT was not available to help. The Fourteenth Doctor arrived, alongside Elias Danielsen and Fleur, who fully embraced the “Merlin” moniker and defeated Morgaine and her armies, imprisoning her once again in a more secure location until UNIT was active again to be handed back.

However, this adventure ultimately led to Elias’ departure from the TARDIS after learning about the Doctor's reputation with UNIT, with no resentment but ready to end it following all his experiences.
(TV: *Morgaine's Revenge*)

Doctor Who and the Holo-History Archive (TV story)

***Doctor Who and the Holo-History Archive*** was the Halloween Special of Series 14 of *Doctor Who*.

This episode was the first part of a duology spanning the Series 14 specials involving temporary companion Fiona Wellington.

## Synopsis

The Holo-History Archive is an amazing feat of human architecture. Standing as the final remnant of their long, expansive existence, it sits in place of where the Earth once stood and holds every second of human history encased within its walls. From the ferocious Viking raids and the relentless Napoleonic Wars all the way up to the Four Hundredth Cancastador Massacre of the Horsehead Nebula - you name it, and its legacy is contained safely within an interactive holographic display. Legacies so profound that billions of species universally kill for a chance just to wander the many halls and learn of this unabashedly legendary species.

But then there's Fiona. A lot has just happened in the last 12 hours of her life, and yet this is just the icing on the cake. She's woken up in a troublingly distant future where humanity is extinct, except for her. She's the only remaining human left alive, and quite by chance as well. Her only option is to roam the Archive for answers, and yet it seems she won't get them quite as easily as she'd originally hoped. For one, she isn't exactly sure that the holographic displays should have the capability of speaking to her and making a full introduction and yet they do.

The First Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara have found themselves in a spot of trouble, for they too have found themselves in the corridors of the Holo-History Archive. In much the same predicament as their newfound and temporary friend, they are lost and believe that something else is at work here. Something far more deadlier and complex than any of them could've possibly imagined, and as the holographic displays begin to take on a mind of their own, it's up to a whole new face to aid their escape, but how can they be helped when their rescuer is no more bound into reality as the creatures closing in around them?

Two Doctors were certainly not what the situation called for...

Lurala

**Lurala** was a young Tosan who was snatched away by Revir Ctharcourt and Mera Rakhal to become their slave.

## Biography

After escaping the Judoon's prison, Revir and Mera travelled back to their home planet of Tosan; where they secretly kidnapped many people who they believed whose disappearances wouldn't cause suspicion. With their memories wiped, most of them were moved to desert dimensions, where they were trained as soldiers - but Lurala was kept behind as a slave, left on Renovix XI in order to operate the robots producing suits of armour from broken and dismantled Cyberman parts; having been given enough technical knowledge to know how to control and maintain them.

When the Seventeenth Doctor, Taylor and Luna arrived at Renovix XI, they found the laboratory where Lurala worked, with Luna connecting to her very quickly, partly due to her similar name. They asked her where she was from, but Lurala could only remember working at Renovix XI. Once the three begun snooping around the lab, Lurala did not intervene as they were not causing any damage, which according to her conditioning, was the only reason to stop work, barring rest and food. After the three triggered an alarm, Revir and Mera soon turned up on Renovix XI - but all discussion was interrupted by Cyberman ships entering Renovix XI airspace and Cybermen touching down onto the surface, blocking off all exit route.

This forced Lurala to flee alongside Revir and Luna. As the group travelled across Renovix XI's lava fields, Lurala saved Luna from falling into a stream of magma and the two bonded, with Luna trying to see if any of Lurala's memories could come back. Later, whilst Luna took the time to get Revir’s guard down, Lurala was eventually killed by a Cyberman bullet, following Revir's failure to warn her she was about to walk into shooting range. Revir's indifference towards her death angered Luna, who almost pushed her into the lava, but stopped when realising that killing wasn't truly in her nature. (TV: *Fugitive of the Cybermen*)

Much later, when Kylita Strali asked Taylor and Luna if they truly wanted to go with her and the Doctor to Axos - considering the danger they were about to face - they both agreed that they wanted to come, with Luna adding a "for Lurala". (TV: *Embrace the Chaos*)
Paranormal Planets

**Paranormal Planets** was a staged television show that broadcasted during the 481st century. Its crew consisted of Gerry Benosvich, Cassidy Jistro, Tina Xella and S'karl Jexe.

Originally, there had been a fifth member of the investigative team, Yrvana Q'il, until she supposedly quit the job after being unwillingly terrorized by numerous spiritual entities. None of the crew believed her at first, believing that she just wanted an excuse to leave her job indefinitely so she could pursue a more fruitful career. A few months later, she was found dead in unspecified circumstances by her own people.

In their Season Seventeen finale titled "Whatever Happened to the Crew of the SS Dahlia?", the team arrived on Verosa Prime with three exclusively special guests; the Seventeenth Doctor, Jayanna IX and Mosdra. Cassidy later remarked that none of them were scripted to appear, to which Jayanna shrugged off.

None of the crew survived the events of the Season Seventeen Finale. A few years later, a new investigative team attempted to pick the show back up for a reboot which ultimately failed after the first rebooted season. (TV: *Whatever Happened to the Crew of the SS Dahlia?*)
Modern Living (TV story)

***Modern Living*** was the third episode of Series 7 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

Of all the planets the Doctor and Pax have visited together, Proastia is surely one of the strangest. Endless rows of identical looking houses laid out in an exact grid patterns, pristinely cut gardens, family vehicles in every driveway - all as far as the eye can see. It's the perfect ideal of your average suburbia, if not just a little too... clinical and clean.

When the TARDIS is teleported away and the two Time Lords get mistaken for a couple; they're assigned a house by the system and expected to set up a nice little life for themselves together; whether they like it or not. Complying until they can find a way to get back to the TARDIS, the duo learn that any deviation of the norm will not be tolerated, punishable by death via incineration!

Posing as Doctor and Mister Smith; the two make friends with the locals, work a normal 9-5, keep up with the housework, feed the cat and everything else that regular people do in their lives - all the while, waiting for the right moment to escape and find out exactly why this planet is the way it is. Is it a game being played by some twisted individual? Or perhaps a computer glitch causing everything to go wrong?

But to make matters the more confusing, their new neighbour who's just moved in right after them - when he's not causing as much trouble as he possibly can and somehow avoiding execution - apparently seems to recognise Pax, although they have never met before as far as he is aware. Of course that can just be the nature of time travel, but just what must the future hold if this man is calling Pax his saviour...?

## Cast

* The Doctor - Eva Green
* Pax - Asa Butterfield
* Dairut Qarmus - Andrew Lincoln

## Crew

* Writer - Natalie Robyn
* Director - Guillem Morales

## Continuity

* When Pax sees the white-washed suburbia of Proastia, he questions why the universe even bothered creating colour if people weren't going to use it. (TV: *The Colour of Creation*)

## Story Notes

* The planet name "Proastia" comes from Greek, meaning suburbs.

 Christmas Special | *TBA*
Merlin Cayne

**Merlin Cayne** was the stage name of **Scotty Armiger**, a tour guide hired by Alyx Morgan to present the Moonmen to guests.

## Biography

Armiger was born in 2058 on Earth. After making a minor name for himself as something resembling a TV personality, explorer Alyx Morgan contacted him as the perfect candidate for a host at his Moonmen event. In March 2095, he was taken to the moonbase by Morgan to prepare himself for the grand opening at the start of April. Due to his excessive rehearsing, his scripted introduction and subsequent guided tour went incredibly well, until the Moonmen's influence began to kill his guests at an alarming rate. (TV: *Doctor Who and the Moonmen*)

He had the forethought to hide as soon as possible, locking himself in a quiet storeroom away from the action. He was discovered by Morgan, Jayanna IX and Leu Kold as the Moonmen activity peaked, but elected to stay where he was. However, being left alone as the Moonmen wore away at his ability to think for himself, he was concerned he may go completely insane, so committed suicide alone in the storeroom. (TV: *I Am The Doctor*)

## Personality

Cayne was, by all accounts, incredibly outgoing, jolly and consistently sociable. However, this was entirely a false character he completely replaced his real personality with for his career as "a man of the masses". In every single social situation from being on stage to in conversation with his fiancée he used this false appearance.

In reality, he was a very serious man, with acute attention to detail and a mind for business. His first encounter with the Moonmen brought out this man in him, providing a very stark contrast to the joke-cracking, cheery faced inherent optimist he had been seconds earlier, which caught Morgan and his fellow explorers present at the time very off guard.

In fact, Cayne dropped the cheery personality immediately following the start of the attack of the Moonmen, and remained his quiet contemplative self right to the end despite the panic and suffering around him. (TV: *Doctor Who and the Moonmen*)
Phoenix

The **Phoenix** group was a secret organisation founded in the early 20th century by Archibald Felmont and Captain Jack Harkness who looked to gather alien technology from across the world - however, over time, the organisation corrupted and became set on taking over the operations of the Torchwood Institute, setting themselves up as direct rivals.

## Overview

Whilst working for Torchwood Three, Jack Harkness became disasstified with the way that the organisation was being run and as such, proceeded to meet with a known associate of the organisation known as Archibald Felmont. The pair negotiated an agreement, whereby Jack would give Phoenix access to Torchwood intel, just so long as they avoided the radar of Torchwood. Upon the fall of Torchwood One, Phoenix went to the remains of Canary Wharf in order to collect as much technology as possible.

After Torchwood Three was dissolved, Phoenix took over main control of operations in Wales and became the primary defenders against incidents with the space-time rift located at the heart of the city - however, their true intent was to find a way to take control of the rift and were not afraid to sacrifice civilians to achieve their aims, unlike Torchwood Three, whose primary aim was to save as many people
as they could.
Mr Emerald

**Mr Emerald** was a human from Vancouver, Canada who discovered the Eye of Corruption one day and let it lead him down a dark and twisted path, which ultimately ended in his demise.

## Biography

His original name unknown, the man who would become Mr Emerald took on the name after discovering the Eye of Corruption, which had fallen down to Earth in the 1930s and remained buried for two decades until he uncovered it whilst on a hike. With the eye now corrupting him, he took on a new identity, forged around his own twisted imagination and began to use the eye to spawn creatures drawn from his imagination, using the movies as inspiration. Taking a liking to a nearby mansion, Mr Emerald paid a housecall to the owners and used the creatures to kill them, whilst making it seem to the local population like they had simply moved away and left him the house.

Using the eye to corrupt the house and to paralyse his mother, forcing her to become bound to a wheelchair, Mr Emerald would begin to kidnap random passersby before throwing them into the corrupted mansion and watching them fight and eventually lose to the creatures that he had spawned. His mother caught on to what he was doing, but Mr Emerald prevented her from acting on it by using the eye to rob her of the ability to speak and write.

A few months later, in 1956, Mr Emerald witnessed the Fifteenth Doctor, Jake Scott and Emi materialise in Vancouver. Fascinated by the TARDIS, he stalked them before knocking them out and throwing them into the mansion, forcing them apart from each other. However, they eventually managed to find each other within the mansion and escaped. Unsure on what to do as no one had ever escaped before, Mr Emerald fled back home but the Doctor, Jake and Emi pursued him there.

Mr Emerald then used the eye to kill his mother, allowing the Doctor to realise how exactly he was achieving everything he was doing but fuelled by the recent murder, the Eye spiralled out of control and started to spawn creatures even more twisted than the originals. Unwilling to face the consequences of what he had done, Mr Emerald let them kill him - sapping the Eye's power and reverting the corrupted mansion back to normal. (TV: *Life in Perpetual Darkness*)
Mr Emerald's mother

**Mr Emerald's mother** was a human from Vancouver, Canada whose son discovered the Eye of Corruption one day and let it lead him down a dark and twisted path.

## Biography

Mr Emerald used the eye to corrupt the house and to paralyse his mother, forcing her to become bound to a wheelchair. She eventually caught onto his kidnapping of random people to throw them into the mansion he had created and force them to fight the creatures he had created, but he prevented her from acting on it by using the eye to rob her of the ability to speak and write.

A few months later, in 1956, Mr Emerald had kidnapped the Fifteenth Doctor, Jake Scott and Emi, but they had managed to escape the mansion. Unsure on what to do as no one had ever escaped before, Mr Emerald fled back home but the Doctor, Jake and Emi pursued him there. Mr Emerald then used the eye to kill his mother, in an attempt to highlight its power and what he could do to them. (TV: *Life in Perpetual Darkness*)
My Dear Master (TV story)

***My Dear Master*** was the sixth episode of Series 5 of *Doctor Who*. It was the first part of a two-part story, succeeded by *Ultimatum*.

## Synopsis

The human colony world of Ajra Prime is known both for its unforgiving rainforests, but also its rich resources and prodigious academies of knowledge, housed within great biospherical cities. And greatest of its many achievements is none other than the Sacrosanct Museum of Ajra, the largest and most respected institution dedicated to the preservation of intergalactic history and culture in the sector.

Professor Karina Wells, presumed dead following an expedition to the mysterious Nexus Point, has returned to her post at the museum. Having lost her team on the mission, and taken time away to grieve, she is now eager to return to her research, having recently acquired an ancient manuscript from the city Prague on Earth, long thought lost in this era.

She will not be alone in this mission however. Upon arrival, she is met by her new assistant, entrusted by the director to ensure that the operation runs smoothly and without incident. An assistant with unprecedented knowledge of the manuscript's contents, and a trusted associate of the Museum. Enter Sandra Parry - who has, through many a trial in her pursuit of the professor, brought with her a message directly from the director.

A story, to be precise. The story of how the Doctor and Sandra unravelled a nefarious scheme in 17th century Prague; a plot involving a staged invasion of aliens called the Svari, the provocation of further conflict between Protestant Bohemian rebels and the Catholic Habsburg dynasty during the latter half of the Thirty Years' War, and the acquisition of the later famed Voynich manuscript from its original owner, Georg Baresch - and how, in the end, the Doctor stole the real manuscript from right under the Master's nose.

Melos

**Melos** was a small, relatively lonesome planet on the outer regions of the Beta Keplon Cluster. It had a twin planet named Lemos.

## Characteristics

Most of Melos's environment had consisted of vibrantly-coloured tropical climates; the natives typically seeking refuge inside openings in nearby mountains or treetop settlements. Despite their primitive appearance, the Melosians and Lemosians were somewhat intelligent and skilled. Melos was also home to at least 3500 different languages. They were very adept at travel between planets, and would frequently organise trade deals with other civilisations, mainly selling produce such as Magentas; a fruit which is very rarely able to grow on the majority of planets.

Other such species native to Melos were the Silvertax, a bipedal feline species who isolated themselves in scattered colonies across the southern regions of Melos. Nertris were an avian species who were considered by Melosians to be nothing more than pests. They produced an acid-like substance from their saliva which could burn through almost any material, making it a useful defence mechanism when threatened or intimidated.

Their main diet consisted of Sunfruits - another form of produce exclusive only to Melos, grown on large farmhouses situated on its moons due to the close proximity of the sun. (TV: *The Rebel Invasion*, *The Dalek Incursion*)

## History

In the year 9067, Melos became the momentary outpost of a platoon of human soldiers and medical officers. In return for their intrusion, Human Commander Gelo offered the natives their medical support. This act of kindness had soon became redundant however, after the Daleks had launched an ambush in order to overrun the outpost and weaken the platoon. Approximately 400 patients were slaughtered and an additional 79 soldiers killed before the conflict had been stopped.

The Melosians had aided the soldiers in their fight, alongside the Nertris who had eventually wiped out the group of Daleks that had arrived to wipe out everything. It had taken Melos approximately 57 years to recover from the damage inflicted by them. (TV: *The Rebel Invasion*, *The Dalek Incursion*)
Mrs Rogers

**Mrs Rogers** was the housekeeper of the lodge that the Eighteenth Doctor stayed at after crash-landing on Earth and becoming stranded on the planet.

## Biography

After the Doctor crash-landed on Earth, Kate Stewart helped him to get settled into his new life on the planet, providing him with housing to stay at - due to his TARDIS being completely uninhabitable at the time. Mrs Rogers was the housekeeper of such house, a woman in her late sixties, who was given the job of looking after the Doctor and informing him of his day-to-day tasks.

She supplied him with the daily newspaper and a cup of tea every day, a gesture that the Doctor very much appreciated. She spoke with Petronella Osgood on the day of their attempt to prevent UNIT's defundment via the courts - but they went silent once they saw the Doctor.

After UNIT's future had been secured, the Doctor promptly moved out of the lodging and into UNIT's new headquarters, allowing Mrs Rogers to gain new tenants. (TV: *UNIT in Operation*)
Nixios

**Nixios** was a human colony planet and the home world of the Nixios Council, a gestalt species that the colonist leaders struck a deadly deal with.

## Characteristics

Cold, barren and icy, Nixios was a planet that was characteristically hard to live on - and thus the human colonies that had been settled on the surface were sparely populated. However, beneath the surface laid a vast civilisation, home to the Nixios Council where they preferred to live in peace without any interference from aliens. (TV: *The Abominable Spirits of Winter*)

## History

By 4077, humans began to settle on the planet without realising that the Nixios Council already lived there. (TV: *The Abominable Spirits of Winter*) Normally the Council might've wiped the humans off the map for daring to trespass on their land, instead however, the Council and governmental figures of the human colony forged an agreement to allow them refuge within their bodies, thus prolonging their lifespans so they could outlive the 'cattle' which lived outside of the over-city.

Keeping up appearances, both the Council and governmental figures welcomed new people to the colony with open arms; but this was just a poly to attract new bodies to possess. (TV: *The Eternal Legacy*)
Echoes from the Deep (TV story)

***Echoes from the Deep*** was the fifth episode of Series 13 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

Military submarines are disappearing in the depths of Earth’s oceans, causing global tensions to rise.

Ian Chesterton

Sir **Ian Francis Chesterton**, Knight of Jaffa, was a companion of the First Doctor.

Before meeting the Doctor, Ian was a science teacher at Coal Hill School in 1960s London. After leaving the Doctor, he had an adventure with his eleventh incarnation, and at the end of that adventure he married close friend and fellow companion Barbara Wright.

## Personality

Ian was fiercely loyal and would stand by any decision made by the rest of his group even if he disagreed with it himself. Like Barbara, Ian was keen to return home, prompting him to depart from the Doctor's company at the first chance, despite having developed a friendship. He usually put others' interests before his, especially Barbara, whom he always looked after. Despite his loyalty, Ian was not against standing up to the Doctor when he felt he was being unreasonable.

Although Ian was essentially a moral character and had stopped the Doctor from killing the caveman Za with a rock on their first adventure, he was willing to kill if necessary. He was also capable at unarmed combat. Ian was fiercely protective of his companions, unhesitatingly standing up to those who would threaten them. Barbara even noted that Ian seemed to carry the burden of their safety on his shoulders. Such did this define his character that the Master was able to quickly bring Ian under his control by promising to keep Barbara safe.

By his own admission, he was somewhat old-fashioned when it came to women, often assuming a protective attitude towards them.

## Appearance

Ian was handsome, stocky and well-built with an open and cheery face. His regular features and neatly-parted black hair gave him an air of honest reliability. At Coal Hill School, he wore the traditional sports jacket and flannel of a schoolmaster.

Ian continued to wear parts of his Coal Hill attire whilst travelling. He wore a pinstripe shirt on some occasions.
Planet (Final Destination)

## Planet

Jayanna IX on the surface of the planet.

The Seventeenth Doctor dropped Jayanna IX and her TARDIS off on a **planet** before he flew his own TARDIS into the Emerald Sky in an effort to destroy the Fifth Raja's supernova which was growing dangerously out of control - an event which he suspected would've killed him for good, but instead, led to his regeneration into the Eighteenth Doctor.

## Characteristics

The planet was cold, icy and windy with no fauna and little flora around, with the landscape being dominated by giant mountains and ice shards which were growing from out the ground and were slightly sticky to the touch.

The sky was a crystal blue-green colour, something Jayanna deemed as being "beautiful". Shooting stars often lit up the sky. (TV: *Final Destination*)
Planet (Temple of Fear)

## Planet

A **planet** that the Juvenile crash landed on alongside fellow refugees of the Time War was the second homeworld of the Juvenile and the location of his temple.

## Characteristics

Upon the refugees' arrival, the planet was dead and deserted, yellow rocks and a green sky with 7 suns and about 20 visible moons. However, following subsequent regenerations from the Time Lords, the environment began to heal. (TV: *Temple of Fear*)

## History

Escaping the time war and crash landing on the planet, the surviving Time Lords soon made a new society for themselves and lived relatively well. One day, whilst speaking to his father, a young Juvenile was shoved by him and then ignored. In retalitation, the Juvenile killed him with a stone to the head and absorbed the regeneration energy produced by the ensuing regeneration. Killing all the Time Lords and absorbing their regeneration energy, the Juvenile was left alone on the planet, where he continued to built the temple that his family had created.

Unaware that they were all gone, the Juvenile attempted to teleport in Time Lords so he could absorb their regeneration energy but inadvertently brought non Time Lords in. Eventually the Fourteenth Doctor was caught up and teleported in.

The planet was later destroyed when the Doctor absorbed all its regeneration energy, reversing it back to its original dead state. (TV: *Temple of Fear*)
Mateo Quintana

**Mateo Quintana** was a Spanish Anarchist who fought for the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War.

## Biography

Mateo first met George Orwell at the Lenin Barracks after Orwell had arrived in Spain last 1936 to fight for the Republicans against the Nationalists led by future dictator of Spain Francisco Franco. They trained together in preparation for fighting and became good acquaintances.

When the Fourteenth Doctor arrived in Barcelona, needing to get into the city centre undetected in order to investigate a mysterious signal that shouldn’t have been there, Mateo advised her and her companions, Elias Danielsen and Fleur on the best route to take. (TV: *1936*)
Porcian

The **Porcians** were a porcine species. Their incompetence at invading other planets was the cause of amusement throughout the galaxy; they would target worlds whose suns were about to go supernova, or ones where they were hopelessly outclassed - but often destroyed their own invasion fleets.

The Doctor encountered them frequently, attempting to minimise the damage to themselves and others as much as possible. They believed there was never any real rush to defeat the Porcians, as opportunities would present themselves without much intervention.

## History

The Porcians learnt about the Altar of the Quasar and its assumed properties of allowing a person who performed the correct recital to control time; and thus, they set off on a mission to locate it and claim it for themselves. On the way, they came across the Twenty-First Doctor - along with her companions Roxanne Segal, Axel Underwood and Jasmine Hackworth - who caught on the Porcians' plan and thus begun a chase to get there first, seeing how the Doctor didn't know its exact location either.

After a chase full of hijicks, the TARDIS crew and Porcians arrived on the asteroid that held the temple where the Altar sat on top around the same time. They charged up in an attempt to complete the recital first and ensure the other side didn't gain control, but an ensuing kerfuffle meant that Roxy fell through the portal that was beginning to open at the base of the Altar. As the portal at its unopened state was dangerous to pass through due to its time corrupting effects, Roxy's recent memories were wiped clean as she fell through an endless, colourful void.

Remain in it for too long, however, and her body would melt away into nothing. Realising that they had messed up big time and not wanting Roxy's death on their conscience, the Porcians worked with the remaining three TARDIS team members to ready their ship and make it capable of withstanding the void. They then flew in and rescued Roxy; after which, the Doctor permanently sealed the Altar - leaving everyone unsure as to whether the rumours behind its powers were real or not. (PROSE: *Basophobia*)
Mysterious Being (Theory of the Mind)

## Mysterious Being

A **mysterious being** with an unknown history with the Doctor tried his own hand into saving people and protecting planets, before that backfired on him immensely.

## History

Being able to see across all time and space, this being knew what the AI being constructed by an colony leader would do in the future and tried to prevent it from being created. He influenced the other colony leader with promises of unlimited knowledge and technology, if she secretly sabotaged the A.I.'s development. She did so, but something went dangerously wrong and the AI turned homicidal - killing everyone on the first colony (TV: *Theory of the Mind: Part One*) and transmitting itself across the other four in the same solar system, where it enslaved them for the purpose of creating maximum profits.

The being had created what he had foreseen and thus, he enlisted the help of the Sixteenth Doctor by activating a distress signal. However, due to the general unreliability of her TARDIS, she and her companions Alec and Constance O'Conor arrived on the second colony 50 years too late. He spoke with the Doctor after she discovered a familiar link to the AI and explained himself, wishing her luck before sliding off into the abyss. The Doctor didn't tell her companions how she knew him. (TV: *Theory of the Mind: Part Two*)
