Cobalt Empire

The **Cobalt** were a race of sentient crystalline life forms which were able to transform between a solidified and gaseous state whenever they pleased. This tactic was more often used to trick those who'd meant their empire harm.

## History

A geological survey team led by Ferris Terra arrived on the last remaining world that the Cobalt Empire overruled and thrived on, where they'd planned to learn more about the history of the planet and analyse its unique properties. They were later joined by the Fifteenth Doctor and Emi who labelled themselves as a health and safety team who'd been instructed to be a part of their mission. Emi was one of the few people selected to head down into the tunnels shortly before an accident which had resulted in them being separated from the crew on the surface, forced to find another exit or wait until the rubble had been cleared by one of the service droids. (TV: *Final Expedition*)

One of the crew members, Vic Gemma, was the first to fall victim to the Cobalt after he'd tampered with the crystalline forms, resulting in the gaseous creatures infecting his mind and subsequently boiling it. Another member called Heidi Jackson underwent another similar process, except she was instead used as a host by the Cobalt entities in order to verbally communicate with the survey team which were stuck down there with them. They threatened to wipe out the entirety of the team if they didn't leave their world; a threat which the Doctor had taken seriously, demanding that Terra packed up and left as soon as everybody was rescued.

Once the service droids had cleared out the rubble and the team were freed, the Cobalt followed in their pursuit after learning Terra refused to leave their world in peace. Without a means to stop them, the Doctor offered the remaining crew, such as Heidi who'd since been relieved of their influence, a momentary place aboard her TARDIS to deliver them back to safety. She left Terra behind, leaving him to the Cobalt. (TV: *The Cobalt Empire*)
Andrea Danielsen

**Andrea Danielsen** was the younger sister of Fourteenth Doctor companion Elias Danielsen.

## Biography

Born 24 years before 4009, Andrea was the youngest child of Vivian Danielsen and an unnamed man. Her father later died when she was in her teens, leaving Vivian to raise Andrea and her siblings as a single mother. (TV: *Revolution's Vice*)

After the Daleks invaded London, Andrea, Caleb and Vivian all reunited before Vivian called Elias to come home for help. Rendezvousing at a safe location, Andrea discovered where Elias had been and met the Doctor and Fleur for the first time. (TV: *The Paradox Machine*) As the Doctor faced the Daleks and Fleur a parallel version of herself, Andrea worked with her family to help the survivors of the Dalek attack. When the Daleks' paradox machine had been destroyed and everything was reset back to how it was, Andrea returned to normal life; sad to see Elias go on his travels again, but understanding as to why he was. (TV: *The Warrior's Way*)
Anna Delgado (Fictional)

## "Anna Delgado"

A fictional construct resembling **Anna Delgado** was used in an experiment by Professor Egelbert Hesse. The artificial planet was later destroyed by a rogue Pting, and the script that gave life to all the fictional constructs was consumed, thus destroying "Anna" and her "universe" in the process. (TV: *Pterror of the Pting*)
Demolished Abode (TV story)

***Demolished Abode*** was the fifth episode of Series 41 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

Returning to Anna’s present day after an exhaustive tour covering piranhas, hybrids and strange... *things*, the Doctor decides to take her on a trip across the many cities across planet Earth that she’s never been to before; to experience homespun culture if you will, to appreciate humanity’s achievements. After a few weeks of exploration, the duo arrive in London - materialising around the northern areas of the city - and at first, it seems like everything is normal, fine and dandy.

That is until they reach the Thames’ riverside and discover something dramatic. The entirety of the Southbank has been completely and utterly destroyed. Annihilated, obliterated, extirpated - it’s simply not on the map anymore, only its ruins remain.

And what makes this case more peculiar is that absolutely no one seems to have noticed; random passersby brush this event off when the Doctor and Anna ask them if they’re aware of what has happened, vehicles merely drive around all the rubble and zero emergency services are investigating. Something dangerous is occurring on the streets of London again and it’s up to the duo to uncover what exactly it is.

Crossing the river to roam the debris, the Doctor and Anna will soon find themselves in the crosshairs of a mysterious group known only as the "Rozzers" without even knowing it - however, that’ll be the least of their concerns as evidence that other regions of London will soon be targeted comes to light, but what is it all for? And will other cities eventually suffer the same fate?

## Cast

* The Doctor - Thandiwe Newton
* Anna Delgado - Lux Pascal

## Crew

* Writer - Natalie Robyn
* Director - Emma Sullivan

## Story Notes

* The idea behind the Doctor and Anna not realising what's happened in South London as they traverse through North London until they actually want to go there is a metaphor for the neglected treatment for the south of the city compared to the north.

All Hail the Sky Demon (TV story)

*"We're pirates."
"That's nice. Is that a particularly difficult profession to join?"*
―The two pirates and the Seventeenth Doctor just before they take the Doctor hostage

***All Hail the Sky Demon*** was the sixth episode of Series 17 of *Doctor Who*. It was the first part of a two-part story, followed by *The Sky Demon Can Wait*.

## Synopsis

Echoes through the generations. A story told for millennia of a being more powerful than all other life in the universe, that observes and controls and influences all. A god, if you will. The deeds of the Sky Demon are talked about in hushed whispers in the darkest corners of crime ridden taverns while also screamed by the powerful lungs of the most vile, hate fueled, deplorable space pirate captains known to humanity. One of which has the Doctor prisoner.

Snatched at gunpoint by marauders of the cosmos while browsing spaceship parts at a discount spaceship store, the Doctor is contracted as an unpaid onboard frigate repairman for a journey into the depths of space. His only hope of rescue? Teddy, Amy-Mae and Xavier. Not the most promising odds, he must admit.

The captain of the crumbling vessel is chasing a rumour - the planet Kamdo, known for its hostility and isolation, has been said to be the one true place that the Sky Demon can be observed in any physical form. Because of course, rocking up to the doorstep of a vicious bloodthirsty god and expecting to be invited in for a chat is a perfectly reasonable idea. But the Sky Demon doesn’t exist.

Does he?

## Crew

* Writer - Katie Taylor

## Story Notes

* With Taylor's Series 16 and Series 19's episodes being narratively linked via the Moonmen and Wizards, *All Hail the Sky Demon* too was supposed to be a part of that story arc - where it would've been revealed that the Pirate Captain had been transported forwards in time from the Moon during the events of *I Am The Doctor* and was going to use the Shravana to get back to his present. However, this was scrapped when Taylor found it hard to come up with a logical excuse as to why the Doctor couldn’t just take him back using the TARDIS.

Clarence Kensington

**Clarence Kensington** was a member of the Royal Planetary Service Observatory during the 23rd Century.

## Biography

Clarence was invited to the Observatory in 2275 in order to attend an event hosted by Sir Edward Loughton where he offered astronomers and various other guests the chance to observe a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; the fabled Devil's Starlight, one of the most stunning spatial anomalies of their time. In reality, the Devil's Starlight was the Mandragora Helix.

After a ship of crew members sent to further analyse the anomaly came back possessed by an unknown power, Clarence witnessed Edward reveal his true intentions of being in league with the Helix. (TV: *The Devil's Starlight*)

He was then attacked by the possessed crew members who were playing an attempt to increase the Helix's power, but were saved when the Doctor eventually realised that Edward and the Helix were bonded and Fleur then knocked him out. This disconnected the Helix's grip on reality, allowing it to be reduced to ashes by the Doctor's TARDIS. (TV: *The Infernal Helix*)

Barbara Wright

**Barbara Chesterton**, née **Wright**, was a companion of the First Doctor.

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

## Personality

Barbara was keen to see the good in all things. She was frequently protected by Ian, and at times felt he treated her like a China doll, keeping her from independence. Nonetheless, the pair felt love for one another, early on. She protected Susan in turn, giving care and attention, and holding her close, before focusing on the task ahead. She believed in the innate goodness of people and saw that sometimes there was more to a situation than met the eye.

She was capable of great endurance and feats of bravery. While a prisoner, Barbara looked after her fellow captives at risk to herself and had a strong conviction that she knew what was best, not only for herself but for everyone else. It suited her temperament to be in charge.

## Appearance

Barbara was tall, dark-haired, slim and beautiful. Ian believed that her face was "deceptive", being attractive but with strong character. She was always neatly dressed, usually in mature, conservative clothes, and often wore a white turtle-neck.
Corapedia

The **Corapedia** were a race of warmongering, enslaving and violent centauroids, who seemed to be half made up of plants which grew from every limb.

## History

A group of Corapedia were present at the auction where the Fifteenth Doctor and her TARDIS were being sold; successfully bidding and winning after the premise of the TARDIS' time travel proved too irresistible. Fitting the Doctor with an obedience collar, they were about to leave when Emi burst in at the auction in an attempt to save the Doctor - however, she was stopped by bodyguards and thrown into the nearby rift - allowing the Corapedia to finally exit. (TV: *The Scarcity of Freedom*)

Forcing the Doctor to operate the TARDIS controls, both her and the Corapedia were surprised to find that it was unresponsive, with the Doctor speculating that the TARDIS was aware about who the Corapedia were and refused to operate for them. Nevertheless, it was discovered that the fast return switch still functioned, which took the TARDIS back to Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina in the 2020s; the place the Doctor and Emi had been beforehand.

Deciding that Bosnia & Herzegovina was as good as any to start; the Corapedia used their superior technology to sweep through the city and begin enslaving humans and other animals they deemed useful, such as dogs, horses and cows to name a few. They then began loading them into the TARDIS, with the intent of taking them back to their natural place in time and space - then returning to Bosnia & Herzegovina, by constantly reusing the fast return switch. Over time, they planned to bring more Corapedia with them next time and eventually enslave all of Earth.

All the while, Emi had landed in Cardiff in the 1950s; where she had met Torchwood and worked with them to reopen the rift which had sealed behind her. They managed to crack it open slightly and she stepped through to arrive in Cardiff; but in the future, in the 2020s. Realising she was three days behind the day the Doctor and Corapedia would've logically arrived in Bosnia & Herzegovina, she made her way across the European continent and arrived five hours after the TARDIS landing.

The Doctor had been powerless to prevent the Corapedia, but was freed by Emi whilst they were distracted. Using the obedience collar fitted around the Doctor which had now been taken off, the two snuck behind one of the Corapedia and forced the collar on. The Doctor admitted that she did not wish to do this, but had no choice - and henceforth, she used the mind controlled Corapedia to help the two free the slaves they had taken without question or alarm. She then used them to trick the other Corapedia into recalling back to the TARDIS with a radio broadcast that the slaves were revolving - in reality, they had long since left.

Emi then lured the Corapedia into the cells they had placed their slaves in and locked them inside, with the Doctor taking them to the Shadow Proclamation to be dealt with, whilst also looking into shutting down the auction house. (TV: *Separation Anxiety*)

Auction House Seven-Five-Three

**Seven-Five-Three** was an auction house set up by Alexia Cunningham on a faraway moon; its intended purpose being to obtain and sell off body parts to the rich, powerful or even just those with a perverted nature. These body parts would then be used for limb replacement, scientific research or just food for captive creatures.

Most of the time, employees would kidnap random people and bring them to the back rooms of the auction house to be fed into the meat grinder. However, as some assassinations could be requested, the heads would often be preserved to be used as a form of morbid gift; as a kind of confirmation of the deed.

The Galactic Census caught wind of rumours surrounding this auction house and sent Tari Ackerman to investigate with a fake invite, who discovered that the rumours were true. After snooping around, Tari was caught and sent to the meat grinder, but managed to get free.

She confronted Alexia, but she sent more security guards after her, forcing Tari to flee. Tari called the Galactic Census and hid until they arrived, where they arrested all employees. The auction house was shut down, with the list of celebrities who attended being secretly leaked later on. (COMIC: *Ahead of the Curve*)
Charlotte (Feline Trouble at the Tower)

**Charlotte** was an employee of Kyllan, someone who he noted was typically very polite. On the day of the tower's opening party, Charlotte noticed unusual energy readings radiating from the top floor and passed this information to Kyllan. In reality, the energy was the result of the Silvertax's wormholes beginning to open. (TV: *Feline Trouble at the Tower*)
Androids of Conquest (TV story)

***Androids of Conquest*** was the twelfth and final episode of Series 42 of *Doctor Who*. It was the third part of a three-part finale, preceded by *The Android Replacements* and then *Sounds of Destruction*.

## Synopsis

All around the world, the human race has been replaced with androids. The Doctor, Anna, Tosh and Tania have all been separated, as they try to fix everything that has gone down. The Doctor has found herself in Spain; Anna and Tania in the UK and Tosh in the US, all without any help, and without hope.

With the Master and her androids now ruling the Earth as they please, there is no hope for the human race anymore. Tosh tries to call in for help to the other Torchwood members, but there is no response. The four are at a stand-still as the whole world goes under android control.

Will the four ever get out and restore humanity, or will the androids find them and replace them when it's too late?

AI (Theory of the Mind)

AI
--

An **AI** created on an Earth colony planet for good purposes, soon turned deadly under the wrong circumstances.

## History

The AI was originally constructed by a leader of the first colony, who wanted it to replicate human behaviour, for the intent of being programmed into computers and robots. It was hoped that this AI would then go on to replace humans as the colony's labour force; allowing regular people to live out their lives beyond work.

However; sabotage caused by the other leader who had been influenced by a mysterious being heavily backfired as something in the AI's code changed radically and it became dangerously homicidal. The AI massacred everyone on the colony, before spreading itself across the solar system via hacking into satellites and transmitting itself into computers on the other colonies. It infected the other four colonies and over 50 years, constructed an algorithm that was designed to enslave the humans, with the intent of working them all to near death, so that its own profits might be maximised.

The Sixteenth Doctor, alongside her companions Alec and Constance O'Conor, travelled to the first colony approximately 50 years after the original massacre - as they searched for the initial origin of the AI. There, they found the computer where the leader had coded it into existence and managed to reprogram it, transmitting it across the solar system again and deleting its influence over the humans and colonies - the AI's creator's vision finally coming to life. (TV: *Theory of the Mind: Part One*, *Theory of the Mind: Part Two*)
Anning (TV story)

***Anning*** was the third episode of Series 23 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

Lyme Regis, 1828.

The sun shimmers just above the horizon, reflecting over the waves; but as it sinks below as the summer evening comes to a close, the residents of the small coastal town hurry home to draw their curtains, huddle around the fire and pray in fear. They find themselves living in fear of a strange creature that’s unlike anything they have ever seen before which strikes in the cloak of night, its inhuman call bellowing across the desolate countryside, right into their hearts.

For one such lady - this is nothing, but superstitious nonsense and she refuses to allow the blatant hysteria to get in the way of her all-important research. If anything, she believes that it’s nothing more than a ploy to try and coax her into packing up her paleontological work. That is until one night as she scurries amongst a recent cliff fall, searching for the fossils that intrigue her so incredibly, she catches sight of something impossible, standing illuminated by the full moon - as if the fossils themselves have come back to life.

Daring not to speak of that which she has seen - lest she be ostracised more than she already is - she finds herself investigating the origins of this creature, whilst simultaneously attempting to balance the career she has made for herself, especially when a stranger known as the Doctor and her friends show up unannounced on a dig which is set to unveil one of the biggest discoveries of she has ever made, but what the Doctor hasn’t anticipated is an artefact - one as foreign and deadly as they come and as out of place as the monster that stalks the outskirts of the town.

Feeling like she’s one step behind the Hexed, the Doctor realises that today is a night where history is vulnerable; one wrong move and there’s the risk that Mary Anning loses her place in the history books. Forces are moving against the TARDIS team and it’s up to every member of the party to pull their weight in order to figure out the connection between the artefact and the beast or risk damaging time beyond repair…

*"You're looking at something called the Infinity, a weapon older than time itself. From a universe where the laws of physics are nothing like our own."
"So like magic?"
"Well, no. Not really. Just a device capable of warping the reality around it to grant whatever the user wishes. Okay, maybe like magic."*
―The Eighteenth Doctor and Damien Barrella

***All Hope Lost*** was the second episode of Series 21 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

When fiddling with the TARDIS controls, Osric accidentally triggers the fast return switch causing the TARDIS to rematerialise on Karison. Realising where they are, Damien gets excited to meet Milly once again, only to find that this planet is nothing like the one that they knew before - still under the rule of the Ravagers, the planet is brutally subjugated. The Doctor realises that when the fast return switch was triggered - it caused the TARDIS to skip a time track, sending them back through the planet's past.

Damien remembers what Milly told them the first time they arrived on Karison; their destiny was always to end up here in the past, so as to complete the time loop. Leading the way, he helps the group find their way to Milly, who does not yet know who they are.

But the Doctor is quick to warn them that although they may have already seen the brighter future, time is always in flux and one wrong decision could cause the future they knew to never happen. However, despite this, Damien is determined to free Milly’s people from their oppressors, but in trying to do the right thing, he may just make things much much worse or maybe they don’t need him either, when the Infinity falls into the enemy's hands...

Bin Laak

**Bin Laak** was a bounty hunter who sent people on hunts, in order for them to be able to work with him or request his services.

## History

An old friend of the Doctor's, Bin Laak was originally a good man, before he was lured into the bounty hunter lifestyle by pirates and continued a spiral into darkness. One day, Daughter of Mine travelled to the closest mirror to **Bin Laak**'s location and requested that he help her save her family. To prove that she was serious about her request, Bin Laak sent her on a mission in order to recover specialist equipment that would help locate Son, Mother and Father of Mine and remove what bound them in their imprisonment. After Bin Laak took Daughter of Mine out of the mirror, she successfully brought back the equipment he asked for and the two travelled across space to save her family.

Once all members of the family had been rescued from being incarcerated, Bin Laak returned to his day-to-day, but was soon visited by the Fourteenth Doctor. Not recognising his friend at first, Bin Laak refused to help her in her plead to stop the Family from destroying Earth, not believing it was any of his concern - or that the Doctor was who she said she was. However, the TARDIS team managed to finally convince Bin Laak to help them. They used the equipment that Daughter of Mine had gathered to reverse the Family's freedom and once the Family were imprisoned again, Bin Laak vowed to forego his bounty hunter ways, inspired by his old friend's reappearance and realising he could do good in the universe instead. (TV: *Mirror Mirror*)
Cinematic Mastery (TV story)

***Cinematic Mastery*** was the ninth episode of Series 8 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

Cinema is 1960s America’s favourite pastime, but for the residents of San Diego, there’s something odd about their local theatres. No one can particularly confirm the reports and rumours, but it’s like the movies are beginning to become real? Characters from the richest stories that cinema can offer the average person now wandering the streets; acting like it's nothing out of the ordinary. Of course, for the vast majority of these characters, no one notices anything unusual.

They're just like regular people after all.

Then an uncomfortable realisation for anyone who might know what truly is happening should settle in. Because it can't be just all the nice and pleasant characters coming to life. The people who won't cause suspicion, just some minor confusion and curiosity due to their strange and limited lexicon and actions. No, it's also the villains, the bad men, the ones without hope.

And as an army of killers - made up of vicious personalities such as Norman Bates, werewolves, vampires, flesh eaters and the Creature from the Black Lagoon - join forces and stalk the city, no one can stop them.

Of course, once the Doctor and Michelle arrive in San Diego after the first couple of murders, that might all change...

## Cast

* The Doctor - Eva Green
* Michelle Moore - Gillian Jacobs

## Continuity

* Arriving in San Diego causes the Doctor to begin reminiscing about a giant bird. (TV: *Birdwatch*)
Chaos in Cardiff (TV story)

***Chaos in Cardiff*** was the first episode of Series 4 of *Doctor Who*.

This episode introduced Sandra Parry as portrayed by Helena Bonham Carter as the Fourteenth Doctor's new companion.

## Synopsis

Scoring a leading role in a new hit series produced by the BBC was definitely a highlight of Sandra Parry's long but not entirely fruitful career. As a native of Cardiff, where production was to take place, it seemed as if it was destiny that had brought her to her first day on set. Everything was going perfectly!

Well, nearly. Because when she stumbles upon what looks to be a land mine, Sandra soon finds herself in the midst of a city at war with itself. An audio signal of extraterrestrial origin has released overwhelming levels of adrenaline and testosterone within the people, leading to citywide riots in the streets.

After all, when the showrunner announces his resignation due to creative differences by driving his car through the set, you know it's definitely chaos in Cardiff.

## Cast

* The Doctor - Georgina Campbell
* Sandra Parry - Helena Bonham Carter
* The Mire - David Schofield & Jon Davey

## Crew

* Writer - Logan Crimson
* Director - Sallie Aprahamian

## Continuity

* The Mire feed on testosterone and adrenaline, extracting it from humans to drink. (TV: *The Girl Who Died*)

## Story Notes

* Crimson has admitted that the title *Chaos in Cardiff* was intentionally mocking the Chaos in Cardiff rumours from 2019 which claimed that former showrunner Chris Chibnall had stormed off set during filming for Series 12 and had been replaced by Pete McTighe. The rumours proved to ultimately not be true, but Crimson still wanted to have a tongue-in-cheek reference.
* When the intention had been to introduce Sandra in Series 3, this episode was to be the introduction of Time Lord companion Pax, but that was later pushed back to Series 5 and then Series 6.

Cybermat

**Cybermats** were a species of small rodent-sized cyborgs used by the Cybermen for a number of tasks.

## Biology

Cybermats had taken on a wide variety of designs; however, the ones used by the Cybermen in 2028 were specifically designed to fit in with other toys available on the market, as such, they were stubbier than previous designs, possessed the tear drop shaped eyes of the Cybermen themselves and shielded by a metal visor was a row of sharp and organic teeth, capable of injecting victims with nanobots designed to engage conversion. (TV: *Season of the Cybermen*)

This design would later be used by the Cybermen encountered by the Twenty-First Doctor on the Mercury Valley Refuelling Station. (TV: *Isolated*)

### Weaknesses

The Cybermats used by the Cybermen in 2028 had been patched so that they could no longer be disrupted by sonic devices, as shown when the Eighteenth Doctor tried to use one on it. Instead, the Doctor had to use a signal throughout a shared pathweb of the Cybermats to disrupt their function and shut them down. (TV: *Season of the Cybermen*)

These Cybermats were also susceptible to electromagnetic pulses as used by the Twenty-First Doctor to disable them on Mercury Valley. (TV: *Isolated*)

## History

During the Christmas Season of 2028, Cybermats were dispatched to every toy store in the UK by Cyber Corp in preparation for the Christmas rush and advertised as the best new toy on the block. Acting as mascots for Cyber Corp, the Cybermen proceeded to push the sale of Cybermats even further, as a frenzy grew over getting them. However, the Cybermen's real plan was uncovered when the Eighteenth Doctor discovered that they planned on using Cybermats to infect the population of the UK with nanobots and convert them into new Cyberman units.

Infiltrating Cyber Corp alongside UNIT, the Doctor was able to send a recall signal to the Cybermats across the country and then once they were a safe enough distance from anyone, caused them to self-destruct, preventing millions of conversions in their tracks. (TV: Season of the Cybermen)

Later on, during the Cyber War of the 41st century, the Cybermats would proceed to drain the Twenty-First Doctor's TARDIS of all its energy by swarming it in vast numbers after she had landed at Mercury Valley. They then proceeded to use this drained power to power up a crashed Cyberman scout ship and detonate Kane Solace's ship in order to strand the Doctor and Kane on the station; they were later destroyed by the two who used an electromagnetic pulse to wipe the Cybermats out - rendering them useless. (TV: *Isolated*)
Athanasius Kircher

**Athanasius Kircher** was a German Jesuit scholar and polymath who published around 40 major works of comparative religion, geology, and medicine.

He was contacted by Georg Baresch in 1639 who had just discovered the Voynich manuscript in his library, with no idea how it got there. Kircher wanted the book for himself, but Baresch refused to sell it to him. He later got his hands on the manuscript in 1666 some time after Baresch's death and stored it in his library, where it was subsequently left forgotten about for centuries. (TV: *Ultimatum*)
Datysian Empire

The **Datysian Empire** - later known as the **Final Empire** during Datysia's war against the Shadow Proclamation - was the Datysian run empire, which spread right across their star system - including planets such as Datysia and Xanrass 1.

## History

The Datysians were originally an ancient and proud race, who kept to themselves, secluded on their beautiful home planet. Whilst no one suspected anything of the Datysians, they were, in fact, working towards an ultimate goal - to achieve immortality for their entire race. (TV: *Harvest Season*) In 2374, the Datysians raided nearby planet Xanrass to assimilate it into the Empire, with it being assumed that they devoted the resources from the planet and its eight moons towards their goal. (TV: *The Holo-Matrix*, *The Heirs of Eternity*)

However, this wasn't enough. The Datysians grew no closer to cracking the secret towards how to live forever, and so by 4170, they had grown desperate enough to begin to luring in diplomatic starships into their star system, kidnapping the ambassadors to experiment on them. With the Datysians' reputation of being proud and secluded, the Shadow Proclamation were forced to turn to the Fourteenth Doctor to investigate, who was able to bypass Datysia's defences via the TARDIS, thus uncovering the truth of what the Datysians were doing. Escaping the planet, she was forced to seal the planet in a time lock to prevent any more experiments from continuing. (TV: *Harvest Season*)

After this, the Empire seemed as if it was crumbling - with even Xanrass believing it was now free from the Datysians' grasp. Nevertheless, by 5170, the Datysians had destroyed the time lock, having been driven to insanity; forming a religious code of violence and self-preservation in order to control and cull their own population. The Datysian Empire, as a result, was elevated to the Final Empire - with the Datysians believing that this would be their final attempt at achieving their target. A year later, due to harvesting victims from across both time and space, the Datysians had triggered a full-scale galactic war against the Shadow Proclamation, once again dragging the Doctor into the conflict. (TV: *The Crimes of Datysia*) H

In the end, all this effort was not enough to save the Datysians, and they were eventually all destroyed in an event called the Datysian Cataclysm; leaving only one known survivor: Yasheia. The Empire subsequently fell apart, definitively freeing every other planet trapped within it, such as Xanrass, which was able to prosper as a result. (TV: *The Heirs of Eternity*)
Dimension (Living Dead)

A **dimension** existed as a bubble attached to the universe appeared to a realm of the dead, possibly the source of the legend of "Heaven" to the religious - either metaphorically or literally.

## Characteristics

Located outside the realms of N-Space, this dimension seemed to be some kind of afterlife, although whoever or whatever created it was unknown. Whilst exploring the dimension looking for a way to escape, the Twentieth Doctor and Penelope came across what they assumed to be the souls of deceased people from many different species, but found that they were unable to interact with them - they reasoned that because they were not truly dead yet, they could not make the complete transition into the dimension and thus could not interrelate with others also there. (TV: *Living Dead*)

## History

After the TARDIS flew within the midst of a space battle; it got caught in the crossfire and thus became heavily damaged, unable to materialise away to safety. To save the Doctor and Penelope, the TARDIS sent their souls out of N-Space and into this dimension in a last ditch effort to preserve their lives.

They woke up within the dimension, initially confused as to where they were, but quickly ascertained that it was some form of domain that housed the deceased, due to the presence of all the souls around them. Realising they couldn't stay as their very status of still being alive was paradoxical to the nature of the dimension, the Doctor and Penelope traversed across - encountering numerous strange sights that were the result of the fundamental difference in the laws of physics. Eventually, they came across an opening within the dimension's reality; believing it to be able to take them back to N-Space, they stepped through... (TV: *Living Dead*) only to come out the other side into what could only be described as Dalek Hell. (TV: *Hell of the Daleks*)
Android America (TV story)

***Android America*** was the first episode of Series 42 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

Anna heads out to meet up with the Doctor again following a break, taking the time to relax following recent recursions with Cybermen and the Dream Lord and is now ready for more adventures in the TARDIS. And so, the Doctor takes her to 1770s America during the middle of the American Revolutionary War to show her a little piece of history.

Only something's wrong. Very wrong.

Blank-faced androids dressed up as the British soldiers seem to be taking down America as they know it, exploiting the tensions caused by the revolution as they ravage the towns and villages that they visit. Can the Doctor and Anna figure out how these androids got here, what their intentions are and more importantly, stop them from destroying history as they know it?

Alex Wilson

**Alex Wilson** was a fellow employee of Osric Tennyson at the American Museum of Natural History.

## Biography

Early one morning at work, Alex entered his office and studied a statue on the shelf that resembled a police box, before being interrupted by Osric who asked him if he had given files to Sara yet. However, Alex did not immediately reply as he had been momentarily frozen in time (TV: *The Statue*) - caused by Dr Marissa Felmont (TV: *The Museum That Was Locked in Time*) - but he was soon freed from it and elucidated that Sara was not yet in, so he could not deliver the files.

Osric then explained that the statue came from Santorini, (TV: *Isle of the Vrykolakas*) but was undated and no one knew how or why it was a police box. It was then that Alex was frozen in time after expressing his confusion over how such a thing was possible. This time noticing that the background noise had stopped, Osric left the office, only to find that the entire museum was frozen too. (TV: *The Statue*)
Capsized (comic story)

***Capsized*** was the two-part fifth story of *Doctor Who: The Sixteenth Doctor* comic story series, published by Titan Comics.

It featured the return of the Sea Devils since the Series 13 story *Echoes from the Deep*.

## Summary

The Sea Devils are out for blood! In this brand new tale, the Doctor, Violet and Leo find themselves stowed away aboard a submarine heading deep down into the sea just off the coast of North-East England for a series of confidential scientific research operations. Confidential operations which may just prove deadly to the lives of all those onboard as First Officer Linthorpe takes the helm of the submarine with plans of his own...

Plans which involve the mass extinction of the Sea Devils, and the end to an age-old war bigger than the team could ever imagine, somewhere out among the stars...

## Characters

* Sixteenth Doctor
* Violet Blackwell
* Leo Darius-Alesandro
* Colony Overseer Melaris
* First Officer Samson Linthorpe
* Chief Engineer Gordon Sands

## Continuity

* Linthorpe's species originates from Zygor. This leads Violet to recall the Zygons and how similar Linthorpe's true form resembles them. (TV: *A Devil in Disguise*)
* The Galactic Agency have had previous complications with the Zygons, among other species the Doctor recognised. (COMIC: *Fragments in Time*)

## Story Notes

* This story was later released in the graphic novel *Capsized*.
* Originally, Linthorpe was going to be a Zygon until Amato decided against it in light of there already being multiple sequel stories and wished this not to be so closely affiliated with such a concept.
* This story was a recycled concept from an earlier draft of Series 14.
