Saz Polister

**Saz Polister** was a woman from 24th century Earth who visited Terra Alpha and found herself pulled into a dark path when she came across the Kandyman.

## Biography

Arriving with a clean-up expedition to the distant colony of Terra Alpha shortly after the downfall of Helen A's dictatorship, Saz found and deconstructed the remnants of the Kandyman. Recovering the components which kept him alive, she disposed of the other parts and over the course of a decade slowly began to allow the entity a new humanoid, corporeal form; resembling a likeness to her deceased husband, Brennax Polister, and even going so far as to implement a segment of Brennax's preserved mind into the recreation too. Brennax had passed away a few months before the revival process had begun. While not bearing an exact resemblance and looking considerably botched in appearance, Saz reprogrammed everything about him to replicate Brennax impeccably - going so far as to even implement some of her own DNA into the recreated Kandyman. (TV: *Doctor Who and the Kandy Factory*)

Saz later took offence to a remark given by Iriel that the appearance of what she considered to be her husband, was an "inhuman monstrosity". She then forcefully fed one of the Kandyman's deadly confectioneries to Iriel, claiming to the Doctor that her death was now since inevitable after unveiling a secret ingredient which would see every consumer of their products facing a grisly and painful death; this ingredient being a classified and since outlawed drug concocted by the Kandyman which could slowly break down the internal structure of whichever bloodstream it happened to infiltrate.

As the final stage kicked in across the entire cosmos however, it was revealed that the Kandyman himself, or rather the half of him which belonged to Brennax, had countered the drug with a stronger additive which overpowered it. Infuriated, Saz threatened to take away the Kandyman's life just the way she'd resurrected it. This plan would never come to fruition however, after Iriel knocked her unconscious long enough for the relevant galactic authorities to arrive and take both the Kandyman and Saz into custody. (TV: *Sugar to the Slaughter*)
Tanya Adeola

**Tanya Adeola** was an extremely gifted student at Coal Hill Academy who had managed to jump three entire school years ahead of her classmates.

## Personality

Tanya was incredibly intelligent, jumping three years of education as well as being selected for a training program by the Unified Intelligence Taskforce for super geniuses after they noticed her attempts to hack into their mainframe. (TV: *A Long Night*)

Shown to be caring and compassionate even in the face of danger, Tanya comforted Matteusz after his discovery that the Dinner Ladies at Coal Hill had been killing Homeless people off the streets (TV: *Lunch Time*) and April after a boy told her that she was a freak whose dad should have killed her and her mum like he planned to. (TV: *Liar, Liar*)

Although previously quick to anger when people resorted to violence, Tanya grew to accept that sometimes it was a necessary action in order to help people and continued to take lessons from Quill while growing closer to her. (TV: *Field Trip to the Unknown*)
Star Station Five

**Star Station Five** was a space station designed as a holiday resort for the rich and wealthy. It used Nestene technology to create their own Autons to act as waiters and staff for the guests.

## History

However, after some time, the Nestene Consciousness was able to sense this and tracked these new Autons down to the station. Despite being weak, a Nestene situated itself inside a large glass tank in the engine room, where it began to mind-control human workers at the station to help it slowly gather all Autons under its control and build a machine that could convert humans into Autons.

Soon enough, the Seventeenth Doctor, Teddy, Amy-Mae and Xavier arrived on the station, having come from Anathema, in search of a relaxing break. Originally unsuspecting of anything odd or out of the ordinary, Amy-Mae and Xavier eventually caught wind of suspicious activities of mind-controlled staff luring guests into the engine room, and following them, witnessed their conversion into Autons.

As Amy-Mae and Xavier alerted the Doctor, the Nestene realised that it had been rumbled - and begun to use its Autons to drag the remaining humans to the engine room in a panic, wanting to conduct mass conversions as to gain enough strength so it could leave before anything bad could happen to it. The people fought back - and what occurred was a violent massacre. The machine was eventually shut down by the Doctor who managed to hack into it and he was saved. The four then confronted the Nestene - which attempted to flee, but ultimately ended up falling through the Time Vortex.

Star Station Five was shattered and closed for investigation, with a large number of starliners arriving to take people home. The chances of reopening seemed slim and the owners looked to be in deep trouble for their use of Nestene technology. (TV: *The Polymos Invaders*)
The Conquerors of the Nine Systems (TV story)

***The Conquerors of the Nine Systems*** was the second episode of Series 31 of *Doctor Who*. It was the second part of a two-part story, preceded by *The Trail of the Warrior*.

## Synopsis

After hours of following a trail of death and chaos across several galaxies, the Doctor and Ruben have finally caught up with their suspect; but the icy world of Tesrii waits for or spares nobody. Hidden deep within the unforgiving temperatures and toppling mountain ranges lies the ancient city of the Stenza, guarded by the genetically manufactured lupine Tesrians. A noble race of ruthless, intergalactic warriors who capture innocent souls as a trophy of their unsurmountable victory.

However, getting in will be the least of their problems. In the heart of the city, the newly-appointed leader of the Stenza is about to drag his army to victory. A victory he can’t lose, or else he will risk the legacy of his battalion. A victory that, if executed correctly, will make them the most feared species this half of the universe.

Can both the Doctor and Ruben both safely execute a plan in a city teeming with bloodthirsty Stenza and manage to effectively free Ruben’s mother from stasis?

Roki

## Incarnations of **Roki**

**Rokiaheijeneuran** (or **Roki** for short) was a Time Lord who attempted to assassinate the Doctor in order to take over his life.

## Biography

### Early Life

Roki was originally an apprentice time engineer on Gallifrey, but he was eventually dropped from this position. This was partially due to his lack of skills but also because he had, on several occasions, caused concern by implying he wanted to abuse the information he was being taught for his own gain. He continued to cause disruption and unrest on Gallifrey until his title of Time Lord was taken from him and he was exiled to a small civilisation on a barren planet somewhere in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy.

#### In Exile

In self-loathing about his own life and the direction it had gone, Roki seeked power independent from Time Lord society, initially by failed rebellions on his exile planet but later by experiments in time and space travel. Utilising his prior experience and technology he had smuggled off his home planet, he attempted to build his own method of travelling the universe himself. This makeshift TARDIS became a pet project of his, and he continually tried to set up some kind of craft of his own throughout his life.

His life spiralled ever more out of control; dying over and over again to freak accidents or stupid mistakes as he hitchhiked around his small area of the galaxy. A fatal error while testing his creation caused a rip in time and space to almost kill him permanently, but he just about survived by regenerating into his twelfth incarnation. (PROSE: *Moon Bait*)

The Doctor and Anna visit long-time Torchwood members Toshiko Sato, Tania Bell and Owen Harper to investigate these disappearances and reappearances together. In their research, Owen Harper and Gwen Cooper are revealed to have been part of the victims.

However, things are quickly about to take a turn for the worst as a scout ship docks onto the station with the skeletal remains of the crew, the entire vessel now seemingly devoid of life - or so they'd thought!

## Characters

* Officer Tari
* Head Leader Karis
* Officer Stonvoli
* Officer Carys
The Convocation of Twelve

**The Convocation of Twelve** was a group of Time Lords who had banded together in an attempt to restore Gallifrey back into its primal state.

## History

The Convocation's main goal had come about due to the the cataclysms that had befallen Gallifrey; the War in Heaven, the Great Vampire campaign, its destruction at the hand of the Spy Master, the Time War and such on. They believed that so many lost souls had died for no reason at the hands of the Founding Fathers of Gallifrey or their actions - and such, wanted to turn Gallifrey into being just another planet in the night sky. However, they came to the conclusion that to reach such a goal, they had to wipe entire civilisations who had ties to the destructions of Gallifrey from the timeline. (TV: *The Puppet Masters*)

Discovering the last remnants of the Algak in the universe, they helped to restore their numbers back to normal levels and manipulated them into waging war against the Earth Alliance, claiming the forces of N-Space would otherwise completely destroy them. In reality, the Alliance had just been the Convocation's first target, and they were merely using the Algak to carry out their own means. (TV: *The Fracturing Algak*) Meanwhile, the Convocation had stranded the Twentieth Doctor by stealing his TARDIS, (TV: *The Trial*) hoping to keep him trapped so that they might convince him to help them - and then grant him a merciful death, as he too needed to be wiped from history to protect Gallifrey.

When their plan of having the Algak use Sontarans was foiled by the Doctor, the Convocation motivated the Algak onwards as many within their ranks wanted to retreat; giving them a Battle TARDIS in order to better achieve their goals. (TV: *The Fracturing Algak*, *The Puppet Masters*) But with the Doctor refusing to help the Convocation by any means, they launched an attack on Earth itself... (TV: *An End Once And For All: Part One*)

## Summary

The Twentieth Doctor makes his final stand against an army made up of both old and new enemies, as he is reunited with past companion Drelick once more! Together, the Doctor, Penelope and Drelick will fight back against the Algak as they struggle to uncover why exactly how they survived their annihilation on Azura all those years ago, why they’re using Sontarans in battle and what they ultimately hope to achieve by attacking the Earth Alliance so directly...

Resort of Terror (TV story)

***Resort of Terror*** was the eleventh episode of Series 7 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

It's a busy life saving history and overthrowing the corrupt, especially when one has the whole universe within their purview. So when the Doctor offers Pax a trip to holiday resort Sanctum Voluptas on acclaimed leisure moon Xanrass 9 for a relaxing break, for the first time, he finds himself with no qualms about kicking back and letting the universe handle itself for the time being.

Not to mention that, for this dynamic duo, it is a safe trip down memory lane, having first met in the jungles of the far more hostile Xanrass 4. What better way to celebrate their triumphs over all of the trials and tribulations that had come their way?

However, things are not as they seem. And when all power to the moon suddenly cuts in the dead of night, it isn't just the resort that finds itself plunged in utter darkness. Even the planets and stars in the sky are shrouded by a looming dark mass, which now seeps into every crevice of the resort, and seeks to spread until all Xanrass 9 is smothered. And with no way out of the resort, it falls upon the Doctor and Pax to save the day yet again, from a foe that the Doctor has a sneaking suspicion is all too familiar to her.

What is it about the resort that drew such a gathering tonight? What can the Doctor do when she is unable to reach her fellow tourists and warn them of what's coming? Just who is the man that arrives at the resort without booking in advance, and now seeks Pax? And how has he been pursuing the time travellers, having encountered them now numerous times in their timeline? Whatever the answers, one thing is clear: they must all beware what lurks in the shadows...

Skithra

The **Skithra** were a scorpion-based species, closely related to the Racnoss according to the Seventeenth Doctor. They were scavengers and believed themselves superior to all species and thus felt entitled to take any form of technology that they came across, regardless of any form of permission.

## History

Soon after his previous companion had left him, the Seventeenth Doctor found himself under attack by space pirates which the Skithra took advantage of and stole his TARDIS from behind his back whilst he was being rescued by Jayanna IX. Realising the Doctor's reputation based off their previous meeting with the Doctor's thirteenth incarnation, the Skithra quickly vacated the area with the Doctor's TARDIS tow in hand.

However, they did not take into count Jayanna possessing her own TARDIS who was able to follow the artron energy signature and track down the Skithra ship across space. Confronting the Queen in her throne room, the Queen reacted by forcing a landing on Loyomba, a nearby planet and attempted to throw the two Time Lords out and strand them there without either of their TARDISes. The Doctor and Jayanna managed to ground their ship, but the Skithra retaliated by beginning to attack a nearby village. By that point, the Skithra Queen had grown tired of the Time Lords and desired to execute them both. The Doctor and Jayanna gave themselves up in exchange for the withdrawal of the attack of the village which the Queen accepted.

Once the ship was ungrounded and had begun to enter hyperspace, the Doctor and Jayanna broke free of the Skithra's grasp and retrieved their TARDISes. From there, they scrambled the Skithra's computer banks, leaving them without any form of navigation and set up holograms impersonating their TARDISes, allowing the Skithra to believe that they were still in possession of the time machines until after it was too late and the Time Lords had escaped. (TV: *The Skithra Entitlement*)
Teddy's grandfather

**Teddy's grandfather** was the unnamed grandfather of Teddy, a companion of the Seventeenth Doctor.

When Teddy was only three years old, his grandfather attempted to flee Tosan, only to be tracked down and killed by the Red Cult. An government officer later broke the news to Teddy's mother, to which Teddy overheard. (TV: *On Foreign Shores*)
Raven’s Acolytes

**Raven’s Acolytes** were the followers of Raven, the Princess of the Sirius Royal Family.

## History

After Raven was banished from Sirius, she and her acolytes sent off on a search for a race or people who could help them in their quest to return Sirius and claim back control. Eventually, they settled on the Macra, travelling to a small colony and kidnapping some of their young in an attempt to raise them loyal to Raven.

On the way back to Sirius, the adult Macra - with the help of the Seventeenth Doctor and Jayanna IX - intercepted their ship. Calling for help from her acolytes, Raven was informed by the Doctor that they had all left; having been convinced to set up a Draconian Art Museum. (TV: *Meeting at Zaggit Zagoo*)
Reactivated (TV story)

**Reactivated** was the first episode of *Torchwood: Phoenix Rising*.

## Synopsis

Life has been great for Gwen Cooper; the birth of her second child, a relocation to London and her daughter becoming one of the top football hopefuls in the country. Her past, nothing but a distant memory. The Torchwood Institute is dead.

Until one night Captain Jack arrives at her door unexpectedly along with Liv Rowe, a woman with a troubled past and who owes Jack a debt that she isn't sure that she can ever repay. Something has been happening on the streets of Cardiff, people have been going missing or worse, turning up dead.

Further rumours talk of a young man who seems to have been doing the work that they used too. Their journey to Cardiff however, immediately throws them into the deep end when they meet Carlos Eamon and encounter an organisation known only as Phoenix head on, but who controls it? Why has it been able to operate so efficiently in Cardiff? And just how exactly did they obtain military grade weaponry?

And as the questions begin to pile up, one thing is for sure. Cardiff is no longer safe and if it is going to make it through the coming storm, then its only hope is Torchwood.

Sixteenth Doctor's regeneration

## Result

The Sixteenth Doctor becomes the Seventeenth Doctor

*"Are you happy with yourself? I damn well hope you are, for what you’re about to do will alter the lives of billions of people."*
―The Sixteenth Doctor's last words

## The Doctor's regenerations

The Sixteenth Doctor was assassinated by Kesavix by staser bolt, who then ordered her body to be thrown into the Time Vortex. However, she was quickly saved by Jayanna VIII, which allowed her to unknowingly land on a beach on Tosan and **regenerate** into the Seventeenth Doctor.

## History

### Anticipation

After the Sixteenth Doctor had defeated the Spy Master once more, he cryptically warned her about something "big and dark" which she would soon encounter; although she brushed this off as fear tactics. (TV: *The Privy Conquest*)

### Causes

Following her imprisonment by the Time Lords, the Ninth Master eventually manipulated the Doctor into freeing her from her cell; (TV: *Vestige of the Master*) an event that led to the Doctor being imprisoned in Shada as her punishment for the jailbreak. (TV: *Diminished Hope*)

She was soon freed after the Master had achieved total universal dominance with the help of the Daleks, being put to work by Kesavix to combat this mass incursion. After the crisis had been resolved, Kesavix ordered the Doctor's companion Tari Ackerman to be taken back to her native time zone, before having the Doctor seized by guards. He explained that whilst he was grateful for the help in regards to the Master and Daleks, he could not forget that none of it would've happened without the Doctor freeing the Master in the first place.

She tried to argue her case that she had been manipulated into doing so, but this fell on deaf ears and he ultimately shot her with a staser bolt. He then had the guards throw her body through a gap in space/time, not unlike the Untempered Schism, where he hoped her body would dissolve and be impossible to receive. (TV: *Blood On Their Hands*)

The Doctor's body landed on a beach during night time in one of Tosan's cities, where she regenerated whilst still unconscious. (TV: *On Foreign Shores*)

### Aftermath

The Seventeenth Doctor awoke to find himself in an unfamiliar location, but soon witnessed a Bailu walking around the city streets. (TV: *On Foreign Shores*) He later found out that he had survived only due to the help of Jayanna VIII, who had enlisted the help of his sibling Mosdra to flee Gallifrey and track the time signature of the Doctor's body, managing to send an external defence around her body that prevented her from dissolving in the vortex. (TV: *Lies of Heaven*)

Tari spent years of her life believing that the Doctor was dead, but eventually met the Seventeenth Doctor alongside Jayanna IX onboard the SS Dahlia. (TV: *Oh Hell, It's Tari*)

Rebecca (Cut!)

**Rebecca** was an actress onboard the Mahova Galaxy Film and Studio during 2555. She became one of the first victims to fall foul of the Toymaker's games.

## History

Studying at the College of Advanced Galactic Education, Rebecca excelled in her desired course and soon set on to partake in even more ambitious projects, enrolling herself into the Mahova Galaxy Film and Studio. However, upon arrival it was far more overwhelming than she'd originally thought; under the impression that jobs would be considerably easier to find in the industry that far out in the galaxy. Upon arrival, she soon discovered that she was wrong and eventually just began to stick to the sidelines in the hopes that she'd be thrown along for a surprise somewhere along the line.

It wasn't until she was later greeted by one of the studio's staff members, Mr Yomtekar, that she was finally enlisted into an acting job - or rather, so she'd thought. Unaware that she'd now fallen foul to this strange man's mysterious game, she often found herself having strange episodes from which she'd fall into a trance-like state and wake up hours later in a dazed state, unaware of her surroundings or having no recollection of the recent events which befell her. She would also hear the sinister voice of what sounded like a man cackling, and in a haze also hear him briefly instructing her before falling into another of her hazy episodes. A voice which, to her, sounded eerily like Mr Yomtekar.

After a few weeks of these strange occurrences, she finally enlisted the help of a Doctor - or so she'd originally thought, after a man who'd claimed to be the studio's paramedic assisted her alongside his two "colleagues", Amy-Mae and Teddy. Originally deciding that she was under the influence of a Sumaran entity, the Doctor quickly dismissed these given the symptoms, deciding on a firm diagnosis that this was the work of something far more sinister.

It was then that, as if on cue, Rebecca underwent one of her episodes and this ominous Mr Yomtekar began speaking through her, unsheathing a gun prop which was loaded with bullets and aiming it directly at the Doctor, firing it and then stealing Amy-Mae to whisk her away to his Toyroom. (TV: *Cut*)

Upon entering the Toyroom, Mr Yomtekar made his presence known to Amy-Mae and revealed that Rebecca was infact merely a puppet of his that he'd essentially already killed, through a slow process of psychological manipulation. He then used Rebecca to ensure that Amy-Mae and the rest of the people stuck within the Toyroom remained there, but after the toy revolt, Rebecca's body was lost forever within the Toyroom. (TV: *The Box of Many Tricks*)
Ressurinos Virus

The **Ressurinos Virus** was a disease, brought to Earth by a spaceship that crashed and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean many years before 2027.

## History

The virus was first encountered by a group of Sea Devils, who had been travelling across the depths of the Atlantic Ocean and came across the wreckage of the ship. They broke in to explore, only to fall victim to the virus in the air, with the Sea Devil High Council then reporting this to UNIT who despatched the Eighteenth Doctor and his squad to deal with the problem.

During their exploration of the ship, the Doctor's companion Ruby was accidentally cut off from the rest of the UNIT squad and managed to cut her hand on a broken piece of metal, becoming infected by the virus. Travelling to the ship's secondary lab in order to fully symphasise a cure, the Doctor was able to save Ruby and contain the virus within vials present on the ship, but at the cost of the lives of the Sea Devils who had gone with him, who had succumbed to the effects of the virus before a cure could be manufactured.

Later that day, troops under the command of 001 got past the UNIT guard and travelled down to the ship, stealing the vials of the virus before detonating the ship. (TV: *Sunken Treasure*)

With the vials of the virus, 001 planned to use the Desecration Matrix, which when activated, would unleash the virus across the entire planet, causing a planet wide genocide. (TV: *001*) However, after a lengthy battle against the Doctor and his UNIT squad, this was prevented with Simon Lance sacrificing himself to destroy the Matrix, taking the virus along with him. (TV: *Extinction Event*)

The Beach (TV story)

**The Beach** was the third in a trilogy of minisodes released in the build-up for Series 22.

It was set immediately before the events of *Requiem of a Dream*  and served as a reintroduction to Damien Barrella before his encounter with the "Other" Doctor and RJ.

## Synopsis

Still haunted by the loss of his sister, Damien bares his soul to his therapist, but finds that nightmares are still all too common every night...

## Plot

One year after leaving the Eighteenth Doctor, Damien Barrella wakes up early in the morning at the crack of dawn. He rolls over to his bedside table and turns off the alarm, which reads 4am. He gets up, takes a pen and a book from the other side of the room and begins to write in it. A short montage runs, showing Damien cooking breakfast and sitting on a balcony, staring out at nothing - all the while, a voice over plays of him talking to an unseen person, where he describes his grief towards his sister’s death, which is manifesting in the form of nightmares.

It’s revealed that he is talking to Eleanor, his therapist, as they walk down a beach together. Eleanor explains the nightmares aren’t unusual and that oftentimes, it’s simply the brain trying to tell you something. She expresses gratitude for his openness, but states that there are limits in what both she and therapy can do. She wants him to open up to her as a friend, if not a therapist, but he remains reluctant to do so.

He explains that ever since Ruby’s death, he feels as if he’s been drowning and struggling to stay afloat, trying to keep himself busy otherwise he might sink. Eleanor notices that he is crying, so offers him some tissues in response, which he accepts. They hug each other.

Later, back in his living room, Damien looks over pictures of his friends - Simon Lance, Alicia Sallow, Johnathon Danielsen and Milly Turzon. He drinks coffee in an attempt to stay awake, but can’t help falling asleep in his chair; all the while, something is calling his name.

In his dream, he’s back on the beach, where the voices echo all around him. The sea washes to shore and knocks him over, causing him to start drowning. Now underwater, he sinks further and further, as shadowy hands reach up to pull him down…

He wakes up. Somehow, he is completely soaking wet as if he genuinely has been underwater. Seeing figures in the darkness, he turns the lights on to find that nothing is there, but it’s enough for him to grab his phone and begin calling the Doctor for help.

Revenant

The **Revenant**s were a shadowy remnants who Kris commanded an army of, being able to summon them from a space-time tear.

## History

The sole survivor of an extinction event caused by humanity who came to his planet and wiped out all other members of his species, Kris became hateful towards the human race and begun to track down the Infinity after hearing about its powers, wanting to use the wish it offered to kill all humans throughout time in an act of vengeance. Eventually, he located the Infinity to 2nd century BC Britannia Superior - where he found it had bonded with a woman named Orla Adair.

Orla had already been discovered by the Eighteenth Doctor, alongside his companions; Ruby and Damien Barrella and Osric Tennyson - who reacted to Kris' arrival by attempting to flee to the Doctor's TARDIS at the Doctor's suggestion. Not wanting the Infinity to fall from his grasp yet again, Kris ambushed the team; stealing the TARDIS and summoning his Revenants who seemingly killed Damien, as Kris took Orla captive. (TV: *The Infinity*)

Leaving the team to the Revenants, Kris took Orla to the Temple of Morol, which he connected her to in order to use the powers of the Infinity. Meanwhile, the Revenants roamed throughout the land, destroying and killing everything that they came across - known as the Great Devastation, which swept over the planet. The Doctor, Ruby and Osric were forced to fight their way across and eventually arrived at the temple, having crossed the Great Devastation caused by the Revenants.

Kris allowed Ruby to ascend the Temple's stairs as she tried to talk him down but this failed to work and as he prepared to use the Infinity, Damien realised how he could defeat Kris - and rushed up the Temple to have Orla use the Infinity to destroy Kris and his army of Revenants. It worked and the Revenants were reduced to ashes which also culled the Great Devastation before it was too late, but at the cost of Ruby's life too - as the Infinity always had a price for its use, something neither Damien nor Orla knew. (TV: *Swan Song*)
Rogue Transmission (novel)

*"On this island, death has little meaning, the dead are reborn and you shall be too. Join us, Doctor. Join us."*
―Lydia Amundsen to the Eighteenth Doctor

***Rogue Transmission*** was the third novel of the New Series Adventures.

## Synopsis

Whilst experimenting with an ancient long range radio transmitter, the Doctor picks up a distress signal from a small island in the middle of the North Sea, only accessible via boat due to thick fog that surrounds it; fog that people go into but never come back out of.

Deciding to follow the signal whilst accompanied by Ruby, Damien and his personal UNIT squad, the Doctor comes to realise that he may have bit off more than he can chew - because as the fog rolls in, the dead come with it and they quickly learn, the island has been attracting its victims for a long, long time...

With things taking a turn for the worst and the army of the dead gaining on them, it's up to the Doctor to figure out the connection between an abandoned whaling village, a beached cargo ship and a series of wall paintings in a cave but where is the Rogue Transmission coming from? And is he up to the task or will the Doctor and his friends join the ranks of the dead...?

## Biography

Hearing about a rare artefact buried within the crashed SS Dahlia, on the planet Verosa Prime, Stryrax sent Chancellery Guard Mosdra to infiltrate TV show Paranormal Planets as a crewmember so she could make her way through the wreckage and receive the artefact for Gallifrey.

Later, when Mosdra video called Stryrax to inform him that she had obtained the artifact, he congratulated her before accidentally letting slip that the Time Lords had no real use for the artefact and merely wanted to display it for aesthetic purposes. Appalled that she had risked her life for something so minor, Mosdra resigned from the Chancellery Guard right there and then and hung up, just as Stryrax started to protest.
