Game Over (TV story)

***Game Over*** was the third episode of Series 3 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

It's the early 21st century; 2022, to be precise. Things on Earth seem normal for once, allowing the Doctor time to relax and get a much-needed break.

When Fleur goes missing however, the Doctor finds out that she's hooked herself up to the latest VR tech - the Nervegear. It turns out Fleur is stuck in a VRMMO alongside thousands of other players. And if she dies in the game? She dies for real.

Can the Doctor get her friend out alive? Can Fleur survive the MMO landscape? And most importantly, who is responsible for this?

## Cast

* The Doctor - Georgina Campbell
* Fleur - Florence Pugh
* Gamemaster Heathcliff - TBC

## Crew

* Writer - Lewis Bentley
* Director - Nick Hurran

## Continuity

* The Doctor hands Fleur a commdot before leaving the TARDIS, jokingly stating that it was to prevent Fleur finding herself locked in anywhere else again. (TV: *The City Beyond Time*)
* While investigating into the Nervegear, the Doctor realises that the game is the first successful attempt at creating holographic technology, with fully automated AI holograms integrated into the VR environment. She concludes that with the evolution of artificial intelligence and holographic technology, the holograms created by Gamemaster Heathcliff would become the independent holograms she had previously encountered in the 24th century, who were capable of interacting with the real world. (TV: *The Holo-Matrix*)
* When the Doctor finds out that Fleur has been trapped inside the game, she hears her dying words echoing in her head as she runs to find her. (TV: *The Woman Beyond Death*)

## Story Notes

* This episode was originally called *Death Game*, until it was changed to *Game Over* at showrunner Logan Crimson's suggestion, due to his belief that Series 3 already had too many episode titles that mentioned death - such as *The Woman Beyond Death* and *Dance Until You're Dead*.

The Doctor agrees to bring Ruby's brother Damien on a single trip with them in the TARDIS, just a simple test run to see what she's capable of. Everything seems fine, until a part blows and sends the TARDIS crashing into an alien planet that even the Doctor doesn't recognise. Exploring the planet, they soon come across a small homestead.

There, they meet Milly for the first time, or they think that they do, because she already knows them all too well and she's been awaiting their return for a long time now, especially Damien.

Escapology (TV story)

**Escapology** was a Doctor Who Series 34 mini-episode consisting of a short scene, produced for the Children in Need campaign.

It was set immediately after the events of *Final Destination* and served as an explanation for the Fifth Raja's regeneration and how the Sixth Rani arrived on Earth.

## Synopsis

The Raja stares upon the supernova burning through the Emerald Sky at a rapid pace. He’d achieved his goal, something even the Doctor couldn’t take away from him, as he was now dead. In a brief lapse of judgement, the Raja stood too close as the sun expanded - engulfing him in flames and triggering his regeneration. He stumbles into his TARDIS and hits the dematerialisation lever, just in time to save his ship from being swallowed by a fiery embrace.

Then he promptly blacked out.

Minutes, hours? Possibly even days later... she regained consciousness. Awoken suddenly by the sparking and alarm signals of the console; her body slumped over in a position that couldn’t have been comfortable - the Rani jumped into action. Her TARDIS had been greatly damaged by the short time it was exposed to the supernova, the console now malfunctioning, The Rani had to act quick; punching in some random coordinates and yanking the dematerialisation lever once again, catapulting her ship through space and time.

She had hoped to land in an alien high society, a place with lots of money and power that she could manipulate into doing her bidding and advanced technology she could use to fix her TARDIS. Unfortunately, that’s not what she got when she burst through the doors to find herself on Earth, 1672 in a little English town called Derby.

* Fifth Raja - Ariyon Bakare

Halloween Special

The **Halloween Special** was a yearly tradition for BBC *Doctor Who*, beginning with Series 12's *Disappearing Act*, all the way through to Series 43's *The Under-World*.

Halloween Specials were not as commonplace as Christmas Specials; only utilised for six separate Doctors. In the case of the Seventeenth and Twenty-Fourth Doctors, Halloween episodes replaced Christmas ones altogether; where as for the rest - Sixteenth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth and Twenty-First Doctors - Halloween episodes existed alongside other specials, either Christmas or New Year, or sometimes both.

Unlike Christmas or New Years Specials, whose connection to their relevant holidays could be strenuous as best, Halloween Specials were typically always to do with the more spooky and frightening tones.

Emerald Sky

The **Emerald Sky** was the name given to a nebula, titled as such due to its strikingly deep green colour. However, it was not just the rich colouring that made the Emerald Sky famous, but rather its collection of three supernovae that were positioned in such a way within the nebula that they created a triangle-like shape, with the supernova at the tip being the biggest and most brilliant.

## History

As word began to spread across the galaxy about this spectacular display, tourist destinations were set up, with numerous viewing platforms being established, equipped with special shielding technology to get as close as possible to the supernovae without being affected by their radiation and gravitational forces.

Nevertheless, despite the growing popularity of the nebula, the truth behind the supernovae was never truly uncovered. They had been, in fact, created by the Fifth Raja, who had planted three extremely young stars within the nebula, the triangle pattern having been chosen for maximum efficiency. He then travelled far into the future to when the stars had grown rapidly in size and detonated them creating the supernovae. (TV: *Final Destination*) Keeping his laboratory nearby, he used the energy generated from the supernovae to fuel his experiments, such as his tests on people under extreme conditions to examine the limits of naturally-occurring evolution. (TV: *Unnatural Selection*)

But the Raja wanted more power, to continue to push the boundaries. His next experiment was his most extreme - to fuel the supernova so much that it would spiral out of control and begin a path of destruction, just to see how much damage it could cause. Yet no matter what the Raja fed into the supernova, it failed to grow to the power levels that he wanted - until one day, the Seventeenth Doctor and Jayanna IX arrived at one of the viewing platforms. (TV: *Final Destination*)

Upon examining the Doctor's and Jayanna's TARDISes, the Raja discovered they contained an unusual energy trace within them, which the Doctor and Jayanna realised must've been created when the TARDISes were merged all those years ago to form Planet TARDIS. (TV: *Planet TARDIS*)

This energy was enough to push the supernova over the edge, which exploded in activity and threatened to destroy the galaxy. The Doctor managed to transfer the energy remnants from Jayanna’s TARDIS within his own in an attempt to disrupt the flow but this failed to work, just as the laboratory started to fall apart around them as the supernova began to affect it. The Raja escaped as the Doctor realised that to cancel out the supernova, he must fly his TARDIS into its heart - which he did, dropping off Jayanna on a planet just outside the nebula. This was enough to kill the Doctor, who expected to die completely, but instead regenerated into his next incarnation. (TV: *Final Destination*)
Dpondore

**Dpondore** was a humanoid who was caught up in the Juvenile's scheme to obtain more regeneration energy, alongside her son, Almandoe.

## Biography

Whilst living her normal day-to-day life, Dpondore was teleported off her home planet and onto a random planet, where she and Almandoe met the Fourteenth Doctor, Bril, Connor McMillan and Frye Fly Fillif. Whilst exploring the temple, Dpondore and the others came to understand that a Time Lord who called himself the Juvenile had kidnapped them, searching for more Time Lords to steal regeneration energy from. His methods reacted differently on non-Time Lords, instead causing hallucinations of deceased people they knew before dying themselves.

Dpondore eventually fell victim to the Juvenile’s scheme and was killed after hallucinating her late partner and Almandoe’s father.
(TV: *Temple of Fear*)
Kalti'noq's partner

**Kalti'noq's partner** was the Racnoss Consort and partner of Empress Kalti'noq Mal-Galdha and father of her children.

## Biography

Fleeing from the Gallifreyan militia, Kalti'noq, her partner and children hid underground on the planet Pakla X for decades and had eventually become starved. This resulted in the unwilling demise of Kalti'noq's partner, where his skeletal remains were later uncovered by the Sixteenth Doctor and Iriel when navigating through the winding cave systems beneath the world's surface. (TV: *In Flux*)
Kamiko Namba

**Kamiko Namba** was one of the onna-bugeisha (female warriors that fought alongside samurai men) and a one-time companion of the Sixteenth Doctor.

The daughter of a local warlord, she was abandoned at a young age and left to fend for herself. She, together with the Doctor and fellow companion Tari Ackerman, was able to stop a sinister plot by the bakufu to maintain power over the land through sinister Samurai Robots. With the conspiracy discovered and prevented from taking shape, she would go on to defend her now liberated nation during the second Mongol invasion of Japan.
Hatched (TV story)

*"Do you know what all this reminds me of? Huge alien queen awakened inside of a hidden structure, in some sacrificial looking place? Alien vs Predator.”
“Fantastic, you’ve made a sequel.”
“Technically the fifth one of the franchise. It’s a crossover with another franchise."
"You probably should've stopped at the first one. You lot, you're always capitalising on what's most popular."*
―Luna Feng and the Seventeenth Doctor

***Hatched*** was the eleventh episode of Series 18 of *Doctor Who*. It was the second part of a two-part story, preceded by *Incubated*.

## Synopsis

Onboard the Vehemula, everything is collapsing. After being forced to land on the nearest habitable world in the Scorpion Nebula, the survivors of the freight vessel are going to find themselves in a lot more muddier waters than they’d originally thought, and that’s even without Idris and her band of ruthless, bloodthirsty cohorts.

Something has followed them out of the ship to meet with its brethren. Something cold and starved. Something with a taste for revenge and as the Doctor, Taylor and Luna venture down into the world’s decadent architectures, they’ll soon uncover the true reason why they’ve been brought here - only the Doctor isn’t so sure he’s going to like the answers. Just what was Idris’ real intention? Is she really as innocent as she would have the Doctor and his friends believe?

As the pointless bickering ensues, the Wirrn Queen shall soon awaken from her eternal slumber - only she’s not quite so pleased with the new visitors...

Jaleidor

## Planet

**Jaleidor** was a planet famed for its beauty, before it was conquered by the Sontarans and polluted during their adaptation of the planet for their own needs.

## Characteristics

Originally one of the Thousand Wonders of the Universe, Jaleidor had vibrantly coloured jungles and candy red skies which became well known for their natural beauty and were considered amongst nature’s most impressive achievements. However, after the Sontarans arrived, they heavily industrised the planet and destroyed all the biomes to create prison facilities that housed whoever they captured. A thick, green smog choked the atmosphere. (TV: *Reality of Lies*)

## History

In the original timeline; after the Eighteenth Doctor helped defend Karison from an armada of Sontarans and Ravagers with the help of his companions Orla Adair, Damien Barrella and Milly Turzon, both Damien and Milly decided to stay on Karison, which meant that they weren't captured by the Sontarans like the Doctor and Orla were once they left. As such, when Orla and the Doctor eventually escaped the prison, their assault on the Eye of Sontar, which consisted of only the two of them as well as the UNIT family, failed - resulting in everyone dying, the Doctor regenerating and the Sontarans winning. (TV: *Through the Looking Glass* , *Reality of Lies*)

However, in a new timeline influenced by the "Other" Doctor, both Damien and Milly decided to remain with the Doctor after battling the Sontarans and Ravagers, meaning that all four of them were captured after leaving Karison. The group were separated across different continents with their memories wiped clean and imprisoned as the Sontarans decided what their fates would be. However, they all individually began plotting their own means of escape - in Damien's case, even with his mind being wiped, he was still able to remember Milly, and became determined to find a way to get back to her, soon realising that he loved her and was being driven by the desire to tell her that.

Eventually the four managed to evade the guards, meet back up, reclaim their memories and escape (TV: *Reality of Lies*) - but they were soon meant with a sudden realisation that they were hopelessly outnumbered by the Sontarans... (TV: *Victory of the Sontarans*)
Immortys Liberation Front

The **Immortys Liberation Front** (commonly known as the **ILF** for short) was a rebellion guerilla paramiltary organisation and movement set up to fight the Senmorta Immortals who ruled over their planet Immortys violently and oppressively.

## History

The ILF was created by four leaders, one of them General Kox, in order to fight the Immortals who had taken control over the planet. Early on, a slight divide grew between members of the ILF - those who believed they needed to strike sooner rather than later, and those who thought they needed to bide their time and plan effectively. However, both sides were working to achieve a full scale uprising across the undercity Sinn - where they were established - and the city Vida, before moving on to the palace Senmorta.

Their plans were moved forward by the assassination of an Immortal by a member of the ILF during the annual celebration of life. The Immortals had enlisted the help of the Twenty-First Doctor and Kane Solace to investigate the murder and its possible connection to the ILF, but Kox had the two brought to Sinn where he explained the truth behind the Immortals' oppression and their belief that there was a darker conspiracy at play behind the Immortals' story about how they obtained the Life elixir.

With the Doctor and Kane's help, the ILF voted to move the uprising forward and acted to liberate Sinn and Vida, whilst the two infiltrated Senmorta and learnt the truth behind the Life elixir - it was created from the blood of the one true immortal of Immortys being constantly extracted from him whilst he was trapped within a vault in Senmorta.

After the death of the immortals following their withdrawal from the elixir, the ILF had achieved their goal and was given the choice of continuing the production of elixir so it could be given to all - or to cease and begin anew. (TV: *Too Much Life is a Dangerous Thing*)
Fault Lines (TV story)

***Fault Lines*** was the second episode of Series 10 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

Invisible to the naked eye, the ley lines run all across the United Kingdom. However, when the TARDIS is pulled from the Vortex and brought crashing down to earth, the Doctor and Emi find themselves isolated out of normal space time.

Trapped in brief moments of tangibility, time is running out and as the Doctor and Emi discover a sinister plot to use the ley lines to tear the world in half, they must find a way to defeat an ancient evil or watch Earth die in a ball of flames...

## Cast

* The Doctor - Eva Green
* Emi - Naomi Ackie

## Continuity

* The Doctor mentions how Stonehenge was built on a ley line - and tells Emi about how she was once imprisoned underneath it. (TV: *The Pandorica Opens*)

## Story Notes

* King has also admitted that the idea behind *Fault Lines* was inspired by CBBC show *The Sparticle Mystery*.

Gerry Benosvich

**Gerry Benosvich** was the co-presenter for Season Seventeen of 481st century television show Paranormal Planets - the other being Cassidy Jistro.

## Biography

For the Season Seventeen finale "Whatever Happened to the Crew of the SS Dahlia?", Gerry and crew travelled to Verosa Prime in order to investigate a ghostly signal emitting from the SS Dahlia which had long since crash landed on the planet thousands of years ago. They were aware of an artefact that was the supposedly cause of this signal - and so, set off to uncover and extract it.

Gerry and co were then joined by the Seventeenth Doctor, Jayanna IX and Mosdra in their expedition through the crashed ship, and eventually, Gerry was killed by one of the apparitions created by the artefact in order to keep people away after they kept pressing on.

Interplanetary Mining Corporation

The **Interplanetary Mining Corporation** (sometimes **Interstellar**), or **IMC**, was an Earth-based mining corporation. Their logo was the letters "IMC" in duralinium curved around a spiral galaxy.

## History

In the early 22nd century, Dom Issigri, having become rich prospecting for argonite, founded the Issigri Mining Company. Years later, the space pirate Maurice Caven kidnapped Dom and blackmailed his daughter, Madeleine Issigri, into allowing him to set up a base on Ta. Shortly afterwards, the Issigri Mining Company was renamed the Interplanetary Mining Corporation, or IMC for short. (TV: *The Space Pirates*)

By the late 22nd century, The Interplanetary Mining Corporation had claimed the rights to several planets in the Goldlight Galaxy in search for the extremely rare fuel source known as Trivax. Setting up several bases in specific points of interest, Planning Director Earl Tornsey became aware that Gamma 4.X7, the planet in which he'd claimed, was the site of this abundance of Trivax and demanded that he was shared more than half of the profit made from sales. Overseer Ajay Vozelinek declined when visiting the colony on a routine inspection, before revealing that he was running against Tornsey's otherwise corrupt management.

Things were later thrown into disarray after a third candidate, Samantha Wyatt, entered the debate, thus throwing away the remaining chance that Tornsey had left of keeping his position. Electing to take things to an extreme measure, Tornsey had Vozelinek assassinated by one of his Ogrons and very nearly had Samantha suffer the same fate until being saved by the Twenty-Second Doctor. Together, they opted to eradicate the sources of processed Trivax which would befuddle several of Tornsey's offers to his clients.

Tornsey's clients, two warmongering species who were waging a devastating territorial conflict, discovered that there was no longer any Trivax. Believing that it was some sort of scam by the Interplanetary Mining Corporation, they used Tornsey as a bargaining chip until they received what it was that they desired. Ogrons, in all of their glory, decided that this was a declaration of conflict and thus began an attack which saw several of the client ships destroyed which in turn roped the Interplanetary Mining Corporation into what was originally a mere Civil War.

The Doctor called the beginnings of this event the Trivax War. (TV: *The Art and Chaos of Fear, Hysteria and Anarchy*)
Hatred as an Art Form (novel)

*"London is under attack, the Doctor and Damien hate each other, the whole world's probably about to end and I'm still in my pyjamas."*
―Ruby Barrella

***Hatred as an Art Form*** was the second novel of the New Series Adventures.

## Synopsis

Damien hates the Doctor.

He thinks he's a stuck-up, self-centred, know-it-all git. He can't imagine why anyone would want to be near him. The Doctor hates Damien. He thinks he's pesky, annoying, asks too many questions without actually learning. He can't imagine why anyone would want to be near him.

Ruby doesn't know what the hell has happened. Yesterday, they were absolutely fine with each other but now, they hate each other's guts. And all of this has seemingly coincided with a series of random attacks around London. But Ruby doesn't think it's a coincidence. Far from it.

With the Doctor and Damien now both refusing to do anything with each other, can Ruby figure out the cause of their new-found hatred on her own? Or will they forevermore be left in a permanent state of anger, leaving both the planet, and UNIT, at risk...?

## Characters

* Eighteenth Doctor
* Ruby Barrella
* Damien Barrella
* Lance Corporal Simon Lance
* Private Johnathon Danielsen
* Private Alicia Sallow

John Benton

Sergeant **John Benton** was a former member of the Unified Intelligence Task Force which he served for during the 1970s-1990s, moving up through many ranks within the organisation before retiring from its service to pursue a more civillian life, although he would still get involved when the need arrived.

## Biography

By 2028, Benton's health took a turn for the worse and he was bound to his bed due to his lack of energy, which was later revealed to be a result of the drain on his life, due to his connection to the stone circle that guarded the prison of the Malicron. He informed the Eighteenth Doctor what had happened all those years ago when the two had previously faced them, with the information that he gave helped the Doctor to defeat them.

The final battle took the last of Benton's strength from him and the Doctor returned him to his home, where he eventually died in his sleep, surrounded by former colleagues and friends, including Kate Stewart and Petronella Osgood. (TV: *Changing of the Guard*)

The Doctor in particular, took his death harshly, causing the Time Lord to return to his TARDIS and leave Earth to mourn him. (TV: *Monster Night*)
Eleanor (The Beach)

**Eleanor** was Damien Barrella's therapist following the death of his sister, Ruby.

## Biography

After Ruby was killed by the Infinity, Damien left the Eighteenth Doctor and returned home so that he could deal with his grief. (TV: *Swan Song*) However, he found it hard to do so and was confronted with recurring nightmares where he felt like he was drowning whilst constantly seeing her broken face. Seeking therapy, he often met with Eleanor and on one such meeting whilst walking alongside a beach, he described these nightmares to which she explained were common - being the result of the brain trying to tell him something - and encouraging him to open up to her, even just as a friend. (TV: *The Beach*)
Gideon Gladstone

**Gideon Gladstone** was a human from Derby and the husband of Edith Gladstone.

## Biography

In 1843, Gideon was a reclusive single father with two children, a daughter aged 9 and a son aged 5 from his marriage with Edith, who had passed away some time beforehand. In his grief, he turned to alcohol to drink away his sorrows and isolated himself away from everyone he knew. When the Fourteenth Doctor arrived at his town, in order to resolve the issue with the fog that was causing her TARDIS to malfunction, she originally sympathised with his loss and made it her mission to uncover the mystery of Gladstone Cottage - and why his children were always so afraid.

By the end, however, once the Doctor had uncovered the truth behind the Soulcatcher, a mysterious spirit that haunted the Gladstone Cottage, she realised that he had had an alcohol problem for far longer than he'd admitted. He had, in fact, been abusive towards his family, beating his children when they misbehaved and yelling at his wife whenever she stood up to him, later murdering her in a fit of rage, suffocating her until her last breath. The Soulcatcher, feeding off of the devastation Gideon had wrought, trapped her spirit within the walls of the house, stuffing itself greedily on the cycle of pain within the family.

The Doctor was utterly disgusted and had him arrested and his children taken from him. In Christmases to come, the Doctor would visit the Gladstone children as they grew up in a new home, and with the truth revealed, the Soulcatcher was now free and was able to finally let Edith's soul go. (TV: *Cottage of Lost Souls*)
Edward Wenlock

**Edward Wenlock** was an ex-soldier of the Earth Alliance and leading scientist of cloning technology.

## Biography

In the year 34,973, Edward invaded the Everglow Interplanetary Mall with a full clone army of himself, making their way to the control room in order to gain control of the intercom system and ensure the visitors to be calm as he searched for Vanda, a friend of the Doctor's, who was hidden within the mall, in order to return to the Alliance using their computer hacking skills and take revenge on the officer who fired him. He landed in the docks, killed a technician who had come to check in on his ship due to the lack of authorisation and positioned guards at every gateway, before causing a mall lockdown once at the control room and having killed the engineers there.

His plan was eventually foiled by the Fifteenth Doctor and Pax I - when the Doctor broke into the control room and confronted him. As the Doctor pointed out, despite Edward's claims of only using clones because he felt he could only trust himself, the clones clearly showed signs of their own independence and therefore, his own logic was inherently flawed.

This breakdown in his thought process led to Edward's surrender, exacerbated by Vanda's insistence that he would never help him, considering his and the clones' violence. (TV: *The Grand Army of One*)

Incubated (TV story)

*"Cockney space pirates? What, so is there a London East End in space?"
"Yeah, but not how you'd expect. Not where these lot came from either... sort of."
"Yeah? Try me."
"Alright then. Space whale."*
―Taylor Bennett and the Seventeenth Doctor

***Incubated*** was the tenth episode of Series 18 of *Doctor Who*. It was the first part of a two-part story, followed by *Hatched*.

## Synopsis

In the heart of the Scorpion Nebula, the inquisitive crew of the Vehemula slowly approach their final destination. Safe within the confines of their sturdy and formidable freight ship and with a fresh supply of resources for a starving colony, their path for the foreseeable future is clear - or so they thought.

Materialising inside the cargo hold after receiving a disturbing distress signal, the Doctor, Taylor and Luna soon realise that the TARDIS has brought them a few hours before the call was made in order to help solve their questions - and in the hold with them, they discover a band of familiar perfidious Rocket Men led by their chief-in-command, Idris Gelahyme.

But everything seems normal with the crew of the Vehemula. Nobody’s injured. Nobody’s withholding any dark and deadly secret from their colleagues. At least, until the vessel hits something in the vacuum of space and it’s brought onboard...

An egg.

Fifth Doctor

## Canon

Youthful in mind, manner and appearance, the **Fifth Doctor** expressed an interest in all things Victorian and Edwardian: cricket, tea, fair play, good manners, and a keen interest in science and exploration.

## Personality

The Fifth Doctor was the most open and vulnerable of all the Doctors, coming across as naïve and inexperienced, acting like a child excited to see new worlds and foreign places. He was neither pretentious nor selfish and reacted to situations rather than starting them, with his humanity making him panicky and indecisive under pressure, but he would use dissembling and deceit in order to avert a crisis or defeat an adversary. His young appearance was reflected in the youthfulness of his companions, whom he treated like friends rather than subordinates, with their pain and sorrow affecting him deeply, and their safety his top priority. He also felt suited for settling down and starting a family.

However, the Doctor's boyish appearance, nervous energy, and charm all hid the fact that he was a Time Lord of great age, compassion, and experience. He was willing to take chances with companions like Vislor Turlough and Kamelion, who were originally threats, even as he pretended to be unaware of it in order to grant Turlough the opportunity to do the right thing. He was also willing to make enormous personal sacrifices simply to keep his word and liberate others from suffering, and would stop and help others while dealing with greater threats.
Isidor Straus

**Isidor Straus** was a Bavarian-born American Jewish businessman, politician and co-owner of Macy's department store with his brother Nathan; also serving for just over a year as a member of the United States House of Representatives. He died with his wife, Ida, in the sinking of the passenger ship RMS Titanic.

## Biography

Isidor Straus was one of 2,224 people onboard the *Titanic*, alongside with his wife Ida as they travelled back from a winter in Europe. Whilst he was onboard, the first known and documented appearance of the Infinity manifested on the ship and soon became regarded by many to be the most expensive item on the ship - worth more than the *Titanic* itself - and as such was used as a status symbol, albeit with nobody knowing its real use.

Isidor got his hands on the Infinity first after having it stolen from Jacob Astor, but such was its status, a form of quasi-conflict was triggered between him, Astor and Benjamin Guggenheim - as they fought between each other to obtain possession over the object. This resulted in the three constantly having their servants steal and hide it from the others; which made the job of Ruby and Damien Barrella who needed to remove it from the ship altogether much more difficult. (TV: Unsinkable*)*

The *Titanic* inevitably hit the iceberg, but this was not immediately made aware to Isidor and co - nevertheless, he eventually abandoned the conflict and tried to evacuate, but found that he was not allowed on the same lifeboat as Ida. Ida refused to leave him and so they died together as the ship sank; last seen leaving the deck arm in arm.
(TV: *A Monument and a Warning*)
I Have A Dream (TV story)

***I Have A Dream*** was the second episode of Series 9 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

When a trip to America in the eighteenth century finds Emi left hurt and confused after a chance encounter, she finds herself questioning whether the human race that the Doctor values so much are truly as great as she seems to believe they are.

With Emi unable to comprehend the obsessional hatred that they possess for so little reason against one another, the Doctor and Jake - in the hopes to help her understand better - take her to the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement, guiding her along each major event that follows, including the assassination of one of the greatest civil rights activists to have ever lived: Martin Luther King Jr.

But in this most turbulent of times, the trio may discover that the all too real past can be just as lethal as any alien plot, especially when Jake himself gets a little too involved and the Doctor is forced to do something which ends with her imprisoned.

With a sentence hanging over the head of their newfound friend and a target on both their backs by a group of humans holding despicable beliefs, Emi and Jake find themselves with only each other to truly rely on and the new untempered relationship between the team will be tested to its limits.

Just a Crystal a Day (TV story)

***Just a Crystal a Day*** was the eleventh episode of Series 33 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

Ever since the attacks began, the citizens of Phaaris, as fragile in their nature as in their crystal bodies, have lived under the constant threat of invasion. Their attackers, dictators from another galaxy, will not rest until all worlds in the cosmos have sworn fealty to their flag.

Fortunately for these innocent souls, salvation is at hand! The benevolent Universal Defence Force has agreed to protect their planet - but at a cost. In return for their efforts, all Phaarin must donate a part of their own crystalline being in order to sustain the planetary shield that kept their world safe.

Unaware of these turbulent times, the Doctor has taken Time Agent Samantha Wyatt on a trip to one of Phaaris's famous galleries, as he is eager to pass on the artistry and wisdom of another culture to his faithful companion. What they didn't expect, however, was to find themselves public enemies number one and two.

Following an assault by the military, and separated from the TARDIS, the two fugitives must run for their lives. But with nowhere to hide and no one to trust, Sam realises all too quickly that no matter where they go, they cannot escape seeing themselves depicted as genocidal war lords on every poster and every screen.

Even worse, when at night they try to sleep, the TARDIS races across the sky and sets it ablaze. And in case that wasn't already terrible enough, the natives' ability to heal and recrystallise cannot keep up with the demand from their guardians, resulting in mass hysteria.

How did this happen? What dark secrets lie in the time travellers' future? And most importantly, what exactly are the Universal Defence Force's true motives? Their motto may state that just a crystal a day keeps the Doctor away; but they are about to be proven very wrong indeed...

Gwen Cooper

**Gwen Cooper** was an operative of the Torchwood Institute - specificially Torchwood Three - during the 21st century and former police officer.

## Personality

Due to her years as a police officer, Gwen was used to delivering bad news to people and as a result, she had become good at it. It also meant that she was able to be friendly with and relate to people in a way that the other members of Torchwood Three found themselves unable to, after being cut off from day to day life for so long. Her presence lead to huge reform in the way that Torchwood operated, showing more compassion for the victims of alien incursions caused as a result of the Rift located over Cardiff.

Even though, they argued a lot as a result of Gwen's dedication her job at Torchwood, she loved her husband, Rhys, immensely and would do anything to keep him safe and eventually their daughter, Anwen after she was born following the incident with the 456.

Gwen had a short temper and was easily agitated, especially when vital information was kept from her by Jack Harkness and other members of the Torchwood team, but this usually came from a position that the information could assist in keeping people safe or when they acted with a callous attitude towards other humans.
Kenossium

**Kenossium**, commonly referred to as simply as **the General**, was a General in the Time Lord military. She later became Lady President of Gallifrey following Rassilon's deposal.

## Biography

Kenossium later regenerated into her thirteenth and final incarnation, (TV: *Race to Galaxy's End*) although it wasn't known if this happened before or after Gallifrey's restoration at the hands of Rassilon. She continued to operate as the General for the Gallifreyan military, although faced no conflicts major or minor whilst in this body. (TV: *To Serve in Heaven*)

Whilst within the Mirxoth's dimension, the Fourteenth Doctor caught a glimpse of Kenossium alongside Rassilon, but failed to recognise her. (TV: *Mendacium*) Later, after the Doctor and Fleur touched the hypercube located at the end of the Rally of the Twelve Galaxies, they were teleported to the Citadel of the Time Lords, where they were promptly surrounded by the Chancellery Guard led by Kenossium, who welcomed the Doctor back, before giving the order to fire. (TV: *Race to Galaxy's End*) However, Kenossium was still sympathetic to the Doctor and had her merely stunned instead of killed.

This allowed the Doctor and Fleur to flee, but Rassilon soon had the Time Lord fleet deployed to find and bring the two back to the Citadel. They were eventually captured by Yasheia who returned them to the Citadel. Once Fleur had used a vortex manipulator to travel back to Groeskiv, the Time Lord soldiers attacked the Doctor and Yasheia - who had been betrayed by Rassilon - with rifles and grenades, although Kenossium refused to partake in the chaos.

After Yasheia had left and Rassilon had been killed, Kenossium took the role of President and spoke to the Doctor; explaining that she would be making to the way Gallifrey was managed from then on. She wished the Doctor luck in her travels as she departed. (TV: *To Reign in Hell*)

Kenossium was later replaced as President by Radrell, but whether this happened via coup, electoral defeat, her death or resignation was unknown; yet Radrell claimed that there was no bloodshed which wasn't disputed by Leela. (TV: *The Infinity Complex*)
Fury (TV story)

***Fury*** was the eighth episode of Series 26 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

England, 1066. The Doctor takes Drelick back in time to witness the Battle of Hastings, as part of the young cadet's historical exam. The invasion of the Normans, however, seems to have been delayed. With the battlefield filled with burnt corpses, and no record of fire being used as a weapon during the battle, what can explain the ashy remains? It wasn’t until a searing growl came from above, passing over the duo, that the answer became clear... A dragon! With what seems to be King Harold riding it? History is so strange. How did it get here? And why does the Doctor recognise it?

A High Magus from Fantasia, that’s how. He had somehow found a way to control the Dravanians since the Doctor’s visit, and plans to take over this universe and this point of time for his realm. His reality is dying; the life force of Fantasia is fading away. In order to save it, the mage plans to wipe out life in this universe to sustain his own, using the King of England in his ploy to "protect" England from invasion. But is there another way, and can the Doctor find it to save both realities? And is the dragon here truly evil or merely another pawn in the Magus's plot?
