### Debut

HSI

Preston Ferdinand Honkus was hatched in 2012 to parents Ignotus Yellowbeak and Helena Honkus, in a rural English village. He was the sixth (or seventh) of his siblings, and hatched 3 hours before his brother Nathaniel, but the egg that Nathaniel hatched from was laid a day earlier than the egg Preston hatched from. This has led to a long-lasting debate between the two brothers over who is older.

**Honkus Science Innovators**

Preston took over his mother's science company in 2014 and began hiring more employees, and branching out into new research. Nathan protested against Preston's actions when Preston relocated the company to St Andrews and hired a chicken as his secretary. (CC: Diary of an Araucana Hen, Part 1) Preston continued to move despite his borther's protests, having a huge lab built in an old mineshaft. Eventually, in a fit of rage after Preston named his secretary as his successor, Nathan trapped Preston's brain inside an enormous, but immobile, computer. Afterwards, Nathan shut down the company and the Honkus Science Innovators lab fell into a state of disrepair. (CC: HSI)

**Encounter with Tristan (2020)**

In 2020, Tristan discovered the HSI lab. He eventually found Preston, who believed Tristan to be a hallucination. However, when Tristan destroyed the incinerator controls, Preston realised that this was real and transferred himself to Tristan's computer. Moments later, GLaDES and the incinerator room were destroyed.

**CPU59C (2021)**

When CPU59C was created, Preston transferred himself from Tristan's computer to the terminal where CPU59C was being created. He transferred himself into the body, knocking out CPU59A and utilising his prototype Cluckus Teleporter to escape. In a crazed state, he then attempted to destroy the universe and save only the goose homeworld, however this failing. Immediately realising what he had done, he apologised to Tristan and Cluckus Industries. Since at that point it was not possible to remove him from CPU59C, he was allowed to leave, taking the TASM with him.

He and Nathan encountered Tristan a couple of times during their adventures in the TASM, in an Aztec temple and Caesar's palace.

**Obtaining the TARDIS**

In late 2021, Nathan and Preston decided to get a bigger and better space-time machine. They came across Tristan in the TARDIS, and teleported onboard the TARDIS as he boarded the TASM manually. Preston, realising what had happened, undocked the the machines, and took off, Nathan informing Tristan the 'Fair exchange is no robbery'.

**Quinton (2022)**

In 2022, Nathan and Preston crashed on La Planeta Fantasma, a planet in the middle of space where the quantum barriers between realities were degraded. It was later revealed that this was due to Iconian experiments. Here, they reunited with their brother Quinton Honkus, who had crashed two months prior. With parts from Quinton's shuttle, they repaired the TARDIS and left.

**Honkus Science Innovators (2023)**

In 2023, Preston received a letter from Valery Cluckus-Grey. He invited Nathan and Preston to return to Earth and reopen Honkus Science Innovators, as a division of the Cluckus Institute. They accepted.

Later, the two geese met up with their five siblings to play a part in Ignotus Yellowbeak's arrest by removing his Honkus Door. A couple months afterwards, the two geese returned the stolen TARDIS to Gallifrey, then returned to Earth after passing by the *Yamato II* and pointing out the flaws in the Cluckus Industries Comet Plasma Engines.
