The Camp at the End of the World

The Cap at the End of the World was the fourth serial of Season 11 of Category War .

## Synopsis

"You really think that I believe in lizard men from outer space?"

The Camp, 1988: A luxury spot for the rich of the UK that, due to fiscal mismanagement, has gone to hell in a handbasket. The promise of luxury and leisure turned out to be a lie. And for another thing the members of the camp are being killed off in brutal ways.

## Plot

### The Perception Engine (1)

1500 BC: On a Teetonian suncarrier, Thetep-Lip (the captain of the ship) attempts to save the ship after it is attacked by a mutineer. Despite being shot in the chest, Thetep is able to tell the mutineer to pull up. He then dies. The mutineer attempts to pull up but fails and the ship crashes.

Many years later (specifically 1987 AD), the site of the crash (a small island within the boundaries of Vanuatu) is home to a failing resort for the rich. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. Everyone who managed to get to the Camp is now stuck until the organizers pay for the event.

One of the people essentially marooned in the camp is an actress named Bitzi Baumanger. After her husband was killed by a rabid dog, Bitzi quit acting for several years before landing her biggest role. As Bitzi wanders around the rainforest near the camp, she can hear something moving around - disturbing the foliage around it. Initially, Bitzi assumes that it is a bird or some other jungle wildlife until she hears ragged breathing - like the breathing of her husband as he died. Bitzi goes into a panic attack at this moment - being rooted to the spot as something resembling her husband wanders into her path. Looking at the twited figure, Bitzi sees that its throat is torn out and that it has the eyes and jaw of the dog that killed him. Bitzi screams as the creature jumps her - ripping her throat out.

Around this time, Ankarstian's TARDIS leaves the planet Ethrace and materializes on the site of the camp. Stepping out of the TARDIS, Ank finds the dismembered corpse of Bitzi. As Ank performs a Gallifreyan funeral ritual on Bitzi, Poseidon and Areex look around the nearby jungle. They very quickly find that they aren't alone in the jungle. Ank finishes the ritual as Poseidon and Areex find what is in the jungle with them - twisted creatures seemingly born from jumbled parts of monsters they've already faced. Poseidon and Areex face off against these creatures with help from the mysterious Blod. They are able to dispatch the monsters as Ank finishes the ritual. They are then found by the inhabitants of the camp - who aren't very happy at finding four new faces and a dead body.

After a short Mexican standoff, Ank and company are dragged to the main camp. A sort of Lord of the Flies type existence has been eked out by the members of the camp - with mock trials led by the "leader" of the camp, the psychopathic Jack Borgden. Borgden holds a mock trial for the newcomers - charging them with killing Bitzi based solely on circumstantial evidence that becomes a lynch mob due to Borgden's rage towards the newcomers. Borgden then holds a firing squad with several members of the camp. Just before they can be shot, however, the camp is attacked by a horde of the twisted creatures. Ank and Poseidon flee while Areex and Blod stay behind to try to save the members of the camp.

As Ank and Poseidon run back to the TARDIS, they can see something glowing on a nearby mountain. Ank and Poseidon then reach a clearing in the jungle. Back in the camp, the survivors have managed to beat back the monsters. They watch as what Borgden assumes is a plane sent to rescue them flies overhead. Borgden runs off to what he assumes is the rescue plane. Ank and Poseidon then watch as the "plane" flies up next to them - revealing it to be a massive alien ship.
