Dying of the Light (TV story)

***Dying of the Light*** was the seventh episode of Series 23 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

Senja, on the surface at least, is a planet like all others. When you visit, you're unlikely to notice anything wrong or abnormal; that is... until nightfall. As darkness spreads across the land, everything may appear ordinary until you realise that there is nothing bright and capable enough to break up the black void, for the only light permitted on Senja is the light of the sun itself.

Anything that emits any kind of light which enters its atmosphere finds itself affected; no torches, no lamps, no fire, no screens. A world of permanent darkness beside the bringer of life. The arrival of the TARDIS brings salvation to the people, simply because the light inside there seemingly refuses to die. Snatched and taken to a temple before the Doctor even realises what's happening; the blue box becomes revered and worshipped. A symbol of hope that things might change, but how long will that last if its light starts to fade as well...?

On a quest to retrieve their home back, the Doctor and her companions, instead, find something most unusual on display in the temple. A paper copy of the famous poem by Dylan Thomas, known simply as: "Do not Go Gentle into that Good Night" - which fell from the sky the day before the light was stolen; its mysterious, alien text not understood, yet feared.

Why is it on Senja? Who or what brought it here? And how is it connected to recent events?

Now, as the world prepares to enter night-time once more and with the TARDIS trapped behind armed guards, it will take everything the four have got in order to uncover the truth and discover the real cause behind the dying of the light.

Is This Paradise? (TV story)

***Is This Paradise?*** was the fourth episode of Series 14 of *Doctor Who*. It was the first part of a two-part story, followed by *Acolytes of the Pit*.

## Synopsis

A planetwide city, built over vast sand dunes and overlooking a mighty ocean, with spires of azbantium and railroads of photavine steel, should have been teeming with life. It should be listed among the greatest wonders in the universe. Yet when the Doctor discovers the planet Viost, as far as she can tell, she is the only off-worlder to have set foot on Viostian soil. The only life to be found are a native tribe of children and adolescents; and it takes no time for the Doctor to realise that something is wrong.

The planet's technology, with a limitless energy supply that could have powered a fleet in the Time War, and advanced medicine that has eradicated any and all diseases, was far beyond the Viostians' capabilities. Food and drink were plentiful, refilling the moment they were farmed. And to make things worse, the Doctor's mature age has aroused suspicion among the youthful population. Why has no one ever heard of this place? How could an ecumenopolis have sprung from nothing? And where do the children go when they come of age?

The answers, it would seem, lay within the Pit...

Hario

**Hario** was a swamp planet located around halfway between Earth and Jaromso, according to the Fourteenth Doctor.

## Characteristics

Being a swamp planet, Hario experienced heavy rainfall around 200 of the 267 days that made up one of its years. The ground was around 85% submerged and the land that was above ground often suffered from flooding.

Trees were extremely common on Hario, often of a dark green colour and could grow up to 300 feet, resulting in the ground becoming very dark as the leaves tended to block all sunlight. The atmosphere was also thick and heavy, leading to more laboured breathing if visitors were not careful. (TV: *Ambitions of the Puppet*)

## History

Billions of years before 4015, the Puppeteer hid from his species' war against the Great Vampires on Hario when it was new, developing and as of then, unnamed until he was tracked down by a Vampire. He managed to kill the Vampire but as a result, became trapped inside a mountain, frozen.

Over time, the planet would become known as Hario and developed a swamp-like climate before becoming a Nostrovite colony. (TV: *Ambitions of the Puppet*)
Jack Napes

**Jack Napes** was the owner of a theatre that the Eighteenth Doctor and Orla Adair were forced to perform at.

## Biography

As the Doctor and Orla fled down a theatre corridor with a red diamond that they had stolen in order to give it back to its rightful owners; they ran into Jack who demanded to know who they were. The Doctor introduced themselves as 'Victoria and Jamie: The Amazing Double Act' from a sign he saw; nudging Orla to play along.

The lie worked, but a bit too well - as Jack then forced them onto stage to conduct magic performances in front of a live audience he believed were their speciality. (TV: *The Double Act*)
Guardian (TV story)

***Guardian*** was the thirteenth and final episode of Series 7 of *Doctor Who*. It was the second part of a two-part finale, preceded by *Saviour*.

This episode introduced Pax II as portrayed by Daisy Ridley as the Fifteenth Doctor's new companion.

## Synopsis

It has been two months since Pax died - and then regenerated. In that time, she has been struggling to maintain order.

With the threat of any outside forces eliminated following the reinstated time lock, Dairut has taken full advantage of the situation and seized control with a military junta. He has expertly strung the Doctor and Pax along, pretending to care about maintaining the timeline and saving Thaxolen - but he has ultimately proven himself to be cold, calculating and utterly uncaring of the consequences. Wanting to remove the Time Lords from the equation, he then had them declared enemies of the people, to be dealt via imminent execution.

Stepping up as her destined role as Thaxolen's protector, Pax leads a desperate struggle against Dairut with her own group of rebels - the Doctor always by her side, but internal bickering within her own faction trouble any progress. A growing number of her forces wish to destroy the time lock and call for help, a desire that Pax has been trying to resist. Once the time lock is broken, there will be no going back; which would leave Thaxolen totally at the mercy from those that wish to claim it as their own.

Yet she cannot also deny that the idea has some merit to it - after all, allies could be made to help defend the planet against whatever might attack. Is it time then? To shatter the time lock? Was the Doctor's request to rewrite history, in the end, the choice they should've gone with?

As Pax mulls over these questions, the battle rages on as time continues to leech away...

## Cast

* The Doctor - Eva Green
* Pax - Daisy Ridley
* Dairut Qarmus - Andrew Lincoln

## Crew

* Writer - Natalie Robyn
* Director - Deborah Chow

## Continuity

* Once he is finally imprisoned, the Doctor visits Dairut in his cell and asks why he went through so much trouble to find Pax during a Vashta Nerada incursion as the history books of Thaxolen's future described, in order to preserve the timeline - if he was so willing to alter Thaxolen's own future with his coup. He explains that the planet's time lock would have been able to contain and control the paradox, but only if it had been created within it. (TV: *Resort of Terror*)

## Story Notes

* The episode title *Guardian* was suggested to Robyn by producer Logan Crimson.

 Christmas Special | *TBA*
Glittering Spheres (TV story)

*"What a perfect little universe. I almost wish I could just stay forever."*
―The Seventeenth Doctor

***Glittering Spheres*** was the ninth episode of Series 19 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

*"Close your eyes.*

*Empty your head of clutter.*

*Sink into deep thought and let your mind free."*

There have been some technical difficulties with the Doctor’s now un-combined TARDIS, so he and Jayanna take a rest from travelling, basking in the soft light of Mutter’s Spiral.

In no time, the Doctor’s mind wanders, he starts tinkering and—due to a sudden surge of power in the Eye of Harmony—accidentally creates a tiny pocket universe whose energy drains the TARDIS almost completely!

With just enough power, and a little too much inspiration to explore, the Doctor and Jayanna plunge into a newborn universe whose bizarre rules of space-time age them in different directions. Will they be able to harness enough energy from this new universe to fix the TARDIS and re-join one another?

Jayanna strokes her new beard in puzzlement; this is an unexpected adventure for both of them!

## Cast

* Jayanna - Jodie Comer

## Crew

* Writer - Ramona Cohen

Kane Solace

**Kane Solace** was a member of the Space Security Service and human companion of the Twenty-First Doctor.

## Biography

### The war

After years of training which he’d underwent on Cesini Major, a planetoid under the jurisdiction of the Space Security Service used for training recruits, Kane was finally enlisted into the SSS by the year 3996. After being willingly assigned to partake in the Cyber War which had broke out a few years after his birth, Kane fought his hardest in the conflict and proved to be the most worthy and prominent of his platoon of soldiers - until he’d been fatally struck down on a battlefield located in the Orion system.

Taken in by a nearby medship which had circled the perimeter of the battle in the event of fatalities on this scale, they’d learnt that most of Kane’s limbs had been fatally injured or blown off in the attack. This prompted them to install cybernetic replacements, henceforth improving his overall efficiency. (TV: *Feel No Evil*)

The bad news was that he was no longer allowed to participate in face-to-face conflict and was instead resigned to simply eradicating the leftovers of the attacks. After a few months of doing this, he heard about the Mercury Valley Refuelling Station; a station which faced the brunt of the Cybermen's savagery and left no survivors. Travelling to the station to investigate rumours of cyber-weaponry being left abandoned which he believed could greatly benefit the SSS, it was there that he’d met the newly-regenerated Twenty-First Doctor. (TV: *Isolated*)

## Personality

Kane was a very toughened individual. Through his training, he’d developed a more intimate and fulfilling sense of self-discipline and orderliness. His compliance with following rules was something which the Doctor greatly admired and deemed one of his most strongest aspects of his personality.

It’d meant that, more than typically, she didn’t have to go trailing around after him in the hopes he hadn’t been leaving behind a trail of danger and/or destruction. However, once he was given free rein, he often did not know when to stop, which could lead to some heavy consequences.

Once he became fully acquainted with the Doctor, Kane was far more comfortable travelling onboard the TARDIS, feeling like he was actually able to understand what’s going on. While still being kept at arms-length by the Doctor, he felt as though he knows a lot more about her now.

With the addition of Ruben to the team however, his dynamic had changed considerably, as both he and Ruben got along like brothers, while often simultaneously trying to keep the Doctor under control. Kane was still often capable of making rash decisions himself, yet now had Ruben to keep him in line, who made sure he didn’t land himself in any grave situations.
Final Expedition (TV story)

*You may be looking for the Series 19 episode, Final Destination.*

***Final Expedition*** was the fourth episode of Series 10 of *Doctor Who*. It was the first part of a two-part story, followed by *The Cobalt Empire*.

## Synopsis

The Earth’s surface has been violently demolished by a series of deadly solar flares; the remnants of the human race now scattered amongst the stars. On the distant planetoid Cobalt, the last in line of an interplanetary empire that expanded for miles across the stars, there lies a colony vessel holding the remaining crew of a professional geology team, stranded on the barren wastelands as they await for a solar storm to pass.

However, they’ll soon find themselves in more trouble when two faces arrive upon their doorstep bringing only trouble in their wake; and reveal that the colony’s leader knows more about this plan than he’s letting on...

## Cast

* Emi - Naomi Ackie
* Ferris Terra - TBC

Gelo

**Gelo** was a human commander from the 91st century. He commandeered a platoon of soldiers in to a fight against the Daleks, and emerged as the only remaining survivor of his group no thanks to the Sixteenth Doctor, Violet Blackwell and Leo Darius-Alesandro.

## Biography

Raised onboard a spaceship since he was a child, Gelo learned tales of what lurked out there among the stars; more notably of the Daleks and their terrifying powers. When he was 14, he was taken away to a military training camp on one of many moons along the outer planets of the Tigerclaw Nebula. He never saw his family again, presuming that they had failed to escape the many squadrons of Daleks which plagued his sector of space. After learning of such a possibility, he swore to rid the Nebula of any and all Daleks so the inhabitants of any nearby worlds could live in harmonious tranquility once more.

This later led to him leading a platoon of soldiers to Melos, one of the planets situated in the Tigerclaw Nebula. There, they sought refuge in order to heal their wounds. The Daleks were soon to catch up with them, unfortunately resulting in the massacre of Gelo's soldiers. (TV: *The Rebel Invasion*, *The Dalek Incursion*)
Don't Tell the Aliens (TV story)

***Don’t Tell the Aliens*** was the eighth episode of Series 16 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

It’s a big day for the planet Oicarro and the native Oicarrites; after many months of messaging, late-night conversations and planning, their new-found friends - the Gogmids - are finally visiting the planet in what is sure to be an extravagant, spectacular event that everyone will remember for decades to come!

However, things don’t quite go how the Oicarrities expect, as after the Gogmids disembark from their, what can only be described as “overcompensating for something”, spaceship - they quickly launch themselves into a self-congratulating spiel where the Oicarrities have to double check that they’re hearing them correctly. The Gogmids believe that the Oicarrities have never met an alien species before nor even knew that any existed in the first place? They should now be in a sense of immense awe towards their visitors? Life is out there, they claim?

That’s not right, the Oicarrities are well known across the nearby cosmos for their hospitality and friendliness towards loads of other species. Before they can correct the Gogmids though, the mysterious adventurer in all of time and space known only as *Doctor Who* rushes in to explain: the Gogmids are an extremely proud and vain race, so to tell them the truth would imply to them that they got their information wrong and would also massively offend them, which might just end in the ultimate annihilation of Oicarro.

Easier said than done for the Oicarrities, who just happen to be a species that find it really hard to lie in the first place. And thus, hectic shenanigans ensue as the Doctor, Teddy, Amy-Mae and co must work together to make sure that these visitors don't find out the truth; whether that be via accident or anyone with more malicious intentions…

* Teddy - Omari Douglas

Heidi Jackson

**Heidi Jackson** was a scientist who was part of a geological survey team at Cobalt in order to study its unique properties.

## Biography

When Jackson and co arrived on Cobalt, she didn't realise that it was the last remaining world on which the Cobalt Empire ruled and thrived on - and thus during the survey, where it was planned to learn more about the history of the planet and analyse its unique properties; she, among others, failed to realise that they were on a planet where their very presence was unwelcome.

The team was 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. Jackson's leader Ferris Terra instructed her and half of the crew to head down into the tunnels, shortly before an accident which had resulted in them being separated from the people 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*)

After Vic Gemma had been killed by the Cobalt, Jackson also touched one of the crystalline forms, but was instead used as a host by the Cobalt entities in order to verbally communicate with the survey team, telling the humans to leave Cobalt or face being wiped out; a threat which the Doctor took seriously, demanding that Terra packed up and left as soon as everybody was rescued. Terra, however, did not listen to the Doctor and stubbornly chose to stay put.

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, including Jackson, a momentary place aboard her TARDIS to deliver them back to safety, leaving Terra to the mercy of the Cobalt. (TV: *The Cobalt Empire*)

Galen Lachlan

**Professor Galen Lachlan** was an archaeologist from Li-Toma. He assisted Teddy, Amy-Mae and Xavier as they pursued the kidnapped Doctor through space to the planet Kamdo.

## Biography

Galen Lachlan was born on Li-Toma and became interested in galactic history at a very young age. He studied the history of various planets at a university in Mazzharia, where he became fascinated by the story of the Amitu System and its former inhabitants. He read every study, report and account of the Aremh and yet was upset at the lack of information on the topic. It became his lifelong dream to visit the other planets of the system and solve the mystery himself, but a combination of a lack of funding, the great distance he would have to travel and the refusal of essentially all pilots to take him there resulted in the ambition remaining a pipe dream for his whole life.

After living in relative poverty for a decade post-retiring as a full time archaeologist, Lachlan overheard a conversation Teddy and Xavier, hearing them point out that they were going to Kamdo. He approached them, pointing out his desperation to visit the planet, and begging them to take him with them. Xavier managed to convince the group to allow him to travel with them, stating that "he seems such a nice old man".

Lachlan's time on the ship was spent telling stories, generally, much to the dismay of Teddy and Amy-Mae. However he was clearly extremely excited to be heading to the one place he has always wanted to be. Landing on Sicia to make repairs, the professor spent a good deal of time exploring the ruins of the lost civilisation.

He discovered an enormous, completely intact building within the Aremh city the group landed near. Christening it the Aremh Church, he and the Doctor's companions ventured inside and discovered essentially the entire history of the Aremh race inscribed on the walls as paintings. However, not much time could be spent inside as, while the building was still standing, it was far from stable and, after only a short amount of time was spent inside, the building collapsed.

The four travellers escaped safely, and Lachlan had made notes of several important points, including the first journeys into space, the discovery of The Shravana and the hastily scribbled final section containing the discovery of the enormous Golden Egg plant that wiped out the indigenous species. While returning to the spaceship to avoid a collapsing suburb, the professor was caught in a patch of bursting Golden Egg Plants and suffocated, his body eventually buried under rubble. (TV: *The Sky Demon Can Wait*)
Johnathon Danielsen

**Johnathon Danielsen** was a human member of UNIT and the Eighteenth Doctor's personal squad.

## Personality

The loudmouth of the group, Johnathon had a habit of saying the wrong things at the wrong moment constantly, which usually resulted in him being reprimanded by his superiors. He was a loyal soldier when push came to shove and was more than willing to lay his life on the line for his fellow squadmates, hence why he was assigned to the Doctor's personal squad.

Johnathon also had feelings for fellow private Alicia Sallow, which he was quite bad at hiding from everyone. After these feelings started to grow, Johnathon was still hesitant to pursue his feelings out of fear of both rejection, but also jeopardising his closest relationship - continuing to be bad at hiding it and was teased by Ruby for it. Since the death of Simon Lance, Johnathon matured significantly, able to show that he was more than capable of leading missions on his own and completing them with efficiency.

## Appearance

Johnathon resembled a man of average height in his early thirties, with lightly coloured skin, grey eyes and messy blonde-brown hair. (TV: *Monsters and Legends*)

## Trivia

It was revealed during an interview for Doctor Who Magazine by showrunner Cal A. King, and later verified by former showrunner Logan Crimson in *The Complete History*, that Johnathon was a direct ancestor of Fourteenth Doctor companion, Elias Danielsen.
Fragile Peace (TV story)

***Fragile Peace*** was the first episode of Series 5 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

Like everything, universes are born and universes die. The Klucuin knew this more than most, and it was through their understanding of the multiverse that they survived. They built the Shevek Cro'taq, a repository of all that they had learned, at the centre of their own universe, which held a fragment of each and every Klucuin's elemental essence.

When destruction inevitably followed, the repository survived, contained within a pocket of reality known as Nexus Point that would survive into the next universe. It would then be awoken and restore the Klucuin to their former might and power. And so it did, many times across many universes, as the Klucuin believed it their birthright to be the rulers of existence.

It was also believed that the repository was one day destroyed at the hands of a careless expedition. But we know better now. The Shevek Cro'taq survived, and the Klucuin have returned.

The Time Lords, fearing a new threat to their reign, have deployed forces to move against the Klucuin's assault. A deal is due to be bargained on the planet Trenzalore, the planet where it is said no untrue thing may be said. The Doctor and her pet, free from exile, must ally with President Kenossium, the former General, to maintain what fragile peace remains. Their presence means little, however, as no threats they possess could ever sway the Klucuin, weakened though they may be. Unsurprising, really. Threats wouldn't have swayed me either.

The Shevek Cro'taq is mine. I am the Master - and they all will obey me.

## Cast

* The Doctor - Georgina Campbell
* Sandra Parry - Helena Bonham Carter
* The Master - Ruth Wilson
* Kenossium - Ming-Na Wen

## Crew

* Writer - Logan Crimson
* Director - Charlotte Brändström

## Continuity

* The Doctor and Sandra have just escaped from Dawn. (TV: *Nightfall*)

## Story Notes

* This story was originally envisioned as a two parter, but the second part was dropped after Crimson felt like there wasn't any extra story to cover - rather, it would be just simply be wasting time.
* The intended title for the second part, *Shattered Hope*, was later used for part one of the finale.

Galactic Census

The **Galactic Census** was an Earth Bureau dedicated to monitoring planets and species in order to grade them based on their technological advancements and societial achievements.

## History

Hearing about Tev and Veg's work with embryos and human cloning, the Galactic Census sent young probationary officer Tari Ackerman and her superior Karis Denison in order to investigate the ethics behind what they were doing and whether or not if they needed to be stopped. They were confused when Karis returned alone, having shut down the operation. Tari had gone off with some mysterious woman just known as "the Doctor". (TV: *Happy Families*)

Once Tari had returned to work at the Galactic Census, she was called into the Headquarters on a routine training mission that involved the supervision of several newly recruited officers. However, thanks to an infestation of Vashta Nerada making their way onboard, the training was subsequently called off as the station was forced into a lockdown with Tari barely managing to escape the ordeal alive. She, along with several other colleagues, decided to let the Headquarters rot in the deep of space in order to let their attackers starve themselves to death. (COMIC: *Shadows*)

A new Headquarters was eventually constructed elsewhere, orbiting Neptune. (COMIC: *Ahead of the Curve*)

An indeterminable number of years later, the Galactic Census had gained jurisdiction over Tiaamamet, following terrorist attacks from the Brothers of the Sundown, a group of pirates wanting to cause panic and mayhem across the system. Despite the Galactic Census's presence on Tiaamamet for many decades, the attacks continued - until they were finally stopped by the Doctor and Tari. (TV: *Brothers of the Sundown*)
Esubeen (species)

The **Esubeen** were a race of humanoids from the planet Esubeen, sharing the same namesake as their home planet.

## History

The evolutionary history of the Esubeen was cloudy, with some speculating that the species was a branch off humanity, who had established a colony many, many years ago. Others believed that they were the result of natural evolution on the planet, but this was often disputed due to the fact that drinking water was extraordinarily scarse and thus life on the planet would be impossible.

Whatever the case, the Esubeen population grew rapidly over the centuries alongside the planet itself as it became the megacity that it was by 700,003. The Esubeen became well known and popular within their region of space, gaining a reputation for being carefree, fun loving and chilled out. Their very nature was tested following a Dalek and Cyberman invasion of their planet, being caught completely off-guard - luckily, they were helped by the Seventeenth Doctor, Teddy and Amy-Mae; who had had one of their own, Xavier join their ranks. (TV: *Chaos Theory*)
Fride Lehnsherr

**Fride Lehnsherr** was an associate of the Eighteenth Doctor who - along with her boyfriend James Stark - assisted him in an incident at the American Museum of Natural History.

## Biography

Whilst on her way to meet her sister and family, Fride was caught up in traffic along with James as a result of the incident unfolding at the American Museum of Natural History. Instead of waiting for the traffic to clear up, the two of them decided to walk the rest of the journey.

Stopping to watch the latest news bulletin and learning of the events unfolding, she met the Doctor, Ruby and Damien and proceeded to make the rest of the way to the museum with them. Working with their new friends, she proved to be invaluable in assisting the Doctor and his friends in their attempts to enter the Time Lock engaged around the building. Along with James, Fride managed to find a way for the Doctor and his friends to enter the Time Lock and remain unaffected by the bubble, but remained outside in order to monitor and maintain the method.

Once the bubble was destroyed, Fride and James reunited with her sister and family and thanked the Doctor for all he had done. (TV: *The Museum That Was Locked in Time*)

When the Malevolent Empire took hold of New York, Fride and James formed an underground resistance in order to impede the Empire's invasion tactics, launching stealth missions where they would raid Empire outposts and wipe them out; this kept the Empire from getting a true foothold over the city and would eventually lead to the Doctor, Orla and Osric being able to defeat the Empire by using the information gained from these attacks to their advantage.

The Doctor thanked Fride and James in turn for everything they did; to which Fride simply replied that they were just "returning the favour." (TV: *The Empire of Doom*)
How to Live Forever (TV story)

***How to Live Forever*** was the sixth episode of Series 16 of *Doctor Who*. It was the second part of a two-part story, preceded by *The Wizards Three*.

## Synopsis

The past few weeks have been hell for the time travellers and their companions. The journey across mountains and jungles and caves and snowy plains has driven the majority of the group around the bend. But the thought of their prize keeps them going, and over land and sea, the obsessed ten pursue their goal.

They arrive alive and fairly well, at the temple holding the most powerful beings in the known universe, according to the local residents. Living for over three thousand years, the three “wizards” have the power to grant any wish they deem worthy, at no cost. This simplifies matters - all the Doctor has to do to retrieve the missing manipulator is to ask for it to be returned! Success!

Or is it? The trio move on, anxious to get away from the slightly disturbing experience they just went through. But something is wrong with their destination. Extremely wrong. But for the life of them they cannot figure out what - an issue that could kill them if they don’t act fast and unravel the truth behind the temple on Unnuna.

Four Short Films (TV story)

***Four Short Films*** was the seventh episode of Series 41 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

*The Mind Parasite*

A boy bounces his ball on the the broken concrete and metal surfaces; these ruins are all that remains of a war-torn planet. Under the scorching suns, he furrows his brows and notices a pink glow in the shadows. It was a shell, like one would find on a beach, glowing with friendliness, whispering exciting adventures and dares to its new playmate that could lead one not careful enough to an untimely death.

*The Servant*

Thousands of years later, this same object causes the TARDIS to do an emergency landing on a seemingly peaceful, economically flourishing planet. Somehow, there are now many identical objects owned by individuals, households, companies; performing menial and difficult tasks whilst everyone else lives leisurely lives. Curiously enough, the object speaks quite frankly and openly of murdering the entire population, yet nobody seems to be paying any attention.

*Where It All Went Wrong*

The Doctor and Anna land in a research lab where scientists and engineers are trying to understand the object’s power and manufacture new ones. The object chuckles to itself as it hatches a plan not even the Doctor could see coming.

*The Explorer*

In the distant future, the object is the only thing that stirs on a seemingly lifeless planet. A team of interplanetary explorers are surveying the landscape and come across it on the sandy shore. An alluring, friendly, faint glow, almost begging to be taken back home with them. How could they refuse?

Elias Danielsen

**Elias Danielsen** was a private detective from 41st century London who, after battling the Sinnermen and exposing the corruption of the aristocracy, became a companion of the Fourteenth Doctor.

Following some time travelling alone with the Doctor, Elias was joined by Fleur in the TARDIS after a visit to Jaromso; with whom he grew extremely close. Nevertheless, the constant destruction that the trio came across throughout time and space disillusioned him and he eventually opted to return back home.

However, Elias was inadvertently sucked back into the Doctor's world when she was forced to involve him in the Time Lords' war against the Klucuin as the latter began their universal temporal invasion. In the Klucuin's Elemental Universe, he led a resistance against the oppressors and once the crisis was resolved, went back home once again - this time alongside Sandra Parry, who was looking to escape her own time.

## Personality

Elias was a warm and pleasant person to be around, being able to provide support and to remain level-headed even in high-stress situations. With a passion for solving mysteries, he was very analytical and intelligent, able to keep up with the Doctor's mind in a way not many others could.

While he lacked the understanding of time and space the Doctor possessed, Elias was able to bounce off her in their investigations together; troubleshooting hypotheses together in quick succession based upon the evidence presented thus far. Despite being laidback, he was passionate in standing up for those in need and seeing justice be done. He was also very perceptive and could read people well - an aspect that came from his job as a detective.

Before travelling with the Doctor, he had always wanted to travel, so he could be able provide aid wherever he could. However, during his TARDIS travels, he eventually came to realise that many of the problems faced in the 41st century had always and would always persist, as long as there are those with their own selfish agendas - an revelation that he was unsure how best to handle.

Following his time away from the TARDIS, Elias found himself often missing seeing the wonders of the universe, but had learned to embrace happiness wherever he could find it.

## Appearance

Elias resembled a man of average height in his late twenties, with lightly coloured skin, crystal blue eyes and messy blonde hair (TV: *Revolution's Vice*) which he started to grow out more over the course of his TARDIS travels. (TV: *Feline Trouble at the Tower*, *The Republic Falls*)

His dress sense and style straddled the line between casual and fashionable, balancing both comfort and professionalism.
Help, My Husband is a Dalek!

**Help, My Husband is a Dalek!** was a movie produced at the Mahova Galaxy Film and Studio.

A poster for it was on the wall of Rebecca's dressing room at the studio and was spotted by Aklur, who saw the lead actress' - Amy-Mae Bexby - credit and decided to take on the name, wanting to establish more of an identity for herself beyond her Ice Warrior heritage. (TV: *Cut!*)
Groeskiv

**Groeskiv** was the supposed capital city of the fake planet Aecalatia. In actuality, it was a space station built to resemble a city, created by Rassilon to help Yasheia lure the Fourteenth Doctor into a deadly trap. A wormhole leading to it planted at the centre of the known universe, the coordinates of which supposedly held Aecalatia.

## History

Secretly hiring the Datysian assassin, Yasheia to kill the Doctor, Rassilon spread the lie of Aecalatia through Gallifreyan databases used by all TARDISes, and sent out false news of its capital city of Groeskiv having gone missing in the time vortex. (TV: *To Serve in Heaven*) The city was populated by androids, which Yasheia pretended to kill as part of the illusion.

However, when the Doctor and her companion Fleur eventually arrived at Groeskiv, travelling through a wormhole at Aecalatia's supposed coordinates, Yasheia failed to kill the Doctor as she was saved by Fleur who died in the Doctor's arms as Yasheia fled. Groeskiv was then terminated as the androids powered down and the landscape crumbled in fire and ash. (TV: *The City Beyond Time*, *The Woman Beyond Death*)
Feel No Evil (TV story)

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

## Synopsis

War!

The year is 4001 and the war between the Cybermen and the Milky Way Alliance that has been raging across the galaxy for thirty two years finally reaches critical point when the Cybermen finally seize the important Alpha Portland sector, one of the Alliance's major resource centres. Their recent victory over the Alliance may just finally win them this war, or so they think...

Crashing into the middle of the conflict with new and self appointed companion Kane by her side, the Doctor aims to put an end to the Cybermen's barbarities whilst also seeking out the answers to her burning questions; like where did this war come from? And if it had always existed, why has she never heard of it?

The Doctor's queries will have to wait, however, because she quickly finds herself stuck right in the middle of a dying world with Cybermen surrounding the last remnants of a defeated force from all sides. As Kane leads a taskforce against the invaders, the Doctor will have to push herself to the extreme and make difficult decisions, but how can she save the day when she barely knows who she even is?

Karis Denison

**Karis Denison** was the superior to young probationary officer Tari Ackerman at the Galactic Census.

## Biography

Hearing about Tev and Veg's work with embryos and human cloning, the Galactic Census sent Tari and Karis in order to investigate the ethics behind what they were doing and whether or not they needed to be stopped. Karis later returned alone to the Galactic Census, the operation having been shut down. Tari had gone off with some mysterious woman just known as "the Doctor". (TV: *Happy Families*)

Once Tari had returned to work at the Galactic Census, she and Karis met again onboard a Galactic Census scout ship on route to the organisation’s headquarters. However, a swarm of Vashta Nerada from the planet Eanna were also on the ship - with Karis barely managing to survive, he and several other colleagues decided to let the Headquarters rot in the deep of space, in order to let their attackers starve themselves to death. (COMIC: *Shadows*)

Fool's Gold (TV story)

***Fool's Gold*** was the ninth episode of Series 20 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

Meteor shower!

With the night sky ablaze with wondrous spectacle, one would be forgiven for missing the mass of silver light breaking through the atmosphere and crashing in the secluded English countryside. That is unless you happen to be the Doctor.

With Ruby out of town, it is down to Damien and his UNIT comrades to accompany the Doctor and investigate the unidentified object firsthand. Damien can't shake the feeling that they are being watched however, having spotted a lone masked figure on the horizon en route. Even stranger, the object in question was in fact a container, transmitting a coded alien message and carrying clothes, jewellery, a small holographic device and a bio-locked jar; hardly the most valuable artefacts UNIT has uncovered in its time.

With the items scheduled to be sealed in the Black Archive the following morning, Damien struggles to sleep, his mind always turning back to the mysterious figure he'd seen near the crash site. What if they were the rightful owner? Confiding his concerns to the Doctor, it is down to the two of them to uncover the mystery and return the container. And with his sister away, Damien may yet prove how capable he can be - not only to Ruby, but to himself...

## Story Notes

* "Fool's Gold" is a term used for something seemingly valuable, but actually not very useful at all - relating to what UNIT assumed when the alien box crashed.
