Planet of the Business Executives (TV story)

***Planet of the Business Executives*** was the fourth episode of Series 33 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

The Doctor groans, looking at the TARDIS console, as it indicates it has materialised at the coordinates of the planet... Calufrax. This is decidedly not where the Doctor was aiming, as he had promised a relaxing holiday in the early years of civilisation on the planet Bunides. But upon exiting the TARDIS, the Doctor and Samantha discover a strange world of grey, soulless architecture populated by brusque, bitter locals.

Bunides was known for its unique biodiversity - and Calufrax known for being an uninteresting planet for very different reasons than wherever they have arrived. But as one of the locals points them in the direction of the Calufrax office block, and another to the Bunides office block, it seems as if there is a very dark history to uncover about this planet of business executives.

Despite the dreary outward appearance, the Doctor soon discovers this planet’s society functions as the perfect economical ecosystem, one that never threatens to collapse under its own internal contradictions. Everyone who lives here ultimately has everything they technically need to live their lives, as the economy perpetuates a never-ending cycle of inspired revolution followed by uninspired calm. The Doctor and Sam, along with two frustrated members of a current, temporary underclass of citizens known as Wert and Draap split up to investigate how this planet and society came to be.

All the meanwhile, the secretive Oligarchy are watching their every move, ready to defend the world that they view as as a natural ebb and flow of life the closer the Doctor and company get to discovering the truth of this twisted, manufactured world and the destroyed pieces of planets and societies that went into creating it.

But this is the problem the Doctor faces... if everyone ends up actually having enough and the Oligarchy explains this ebb and flow as something... natural, just a part of life - why should the Doctor view it as a bad thing? Everyone gets a turn at coming out on top - reaping the rewards; just as everyone gets a turn at being the underclass.

But could there be any better, fairer way to live? The Doctor seems to have other ideas about this whole setup...

## Synopsis

Portals have sprung open across all of space and time. An enigmatic force beyond even the Doctor's knowledge has begun scouring and razing cities to the ground, hell bent on finding something of great value to them and their people.

Amidst the chaos, familiar faces can be seen from across the cosmos; and chief among them is none other than historian Karina Wells, an invaluable asset to the expedition that had found the Shevek Cro'taq.

It takes no time at all for the Doctor and Sandra to draw connections between the two events; and the trio soon find themselves venturing across the galaxies and through the nexus on a new quest - to find whoever's responsible and put things right. The only problem? The Shevek Cro'taq was destroyed, leaving them nothing to bargain with... Right...?

Martin Luther King

Dr **Martin Luther King Jr** was a famous human peacemaker, activist, and preacher.

## Biography

When Kaled Fifteenth Doctor companion Emi was left confused and hurt after an encounter with someone in 18th century America, she questioned why the Doctor loved and valued the human race as much as she did, not understanding why they seemed to hate others so much based on small reasons and differences. The Doctor, in response, decided to give her a tour through the history of the Civil Rights Movement, guiding her along each important event that made up the crusade, starting from the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955.

This included the work of Martin Luther King Jr, with the pair witnessing famous speeches and addresses, such as "I Have a Dream" and "I've Been to the Mountaintop". King was fatally shot in an assassination in 1968, a fact that saddened Emi once she heard about it, but she was reassured by the Doctor that he was killed by the worse of humanity and that history would always remember and vilify him as such. (TV: *I Have A Dream*)
Praan

The **Praan** were a parasitic, microscopic species who thrived in heat and busy climates. They had the ability to communicate with their hosts through telekinetic means and originated from the planetoid Praanol Beta, being the result of an accidental creation by the native scientists when inventing a cure for a previously dormant plague known as the Beta Plague which had swept the world's leading civilisations.

## History

At first, the Praan seemed to be a harmless and easily extinguishable bacteria, until it had mutated with the Beta Plague and formed an extremely deadly disease. Within a few days, the majority of the natives on Praanol Beta had been wiped out, with the remnants fleeing elsewhere. Unbeknownst to some of the fleeing natives however, many were still infected.

After discovering that they still had traces of the Praan in their bloodstream, the people made a group decision to perform a suicide pact so as to prevent the spread of this deadly bacteria. Everybody infected threw themselves out the airlock, except one person: Dasyo Jip. Under the influence of the Praan, he travelled to the nearest inhabited world, which happened to be Earth, so they could feast once more on an array of new people.

Putting himself under the alias "Harrison Stewart", he opened a restaurant in Central Victorian London with the slogan 'Our delicacies are out of this world!'. This later attracted the attention of the Paternoster Gang, who were later found ill after consuming the delicacies which the restaurant had to serve.

The Sixteenth Doctor and Iriel later uncovered Dasyo's disguise with the help of Strax, Jenny Flint and Vastra. The restaurant was later closed due to an impending investigation. With no more hosts to thrive upon, the Praan slowly became extinct and was explained away as 'another one of those tropical diseases' that the inhabitants of Victorian London seemed to be plagued by annually. (TV: *An Infernal Investigation*)
Pilot (The City Beyond Time)

As a part of the illusion of the city Groeskiv being stolen from out of time, an android who believed himself to be a **pilot** was implanted into the scheme.

## Biography

As part of his scheme, Rassilon established false data of a supposed planet named Aecalatia in the Matrix and broadcast the news that its capital city of Groeskiv had gone missing in the Time Vortex in a signal coded specifically to be overheard by Fleur. The entire city was placed outside of time itself, populated by androids, which Yasheia pretended to kill as part of the illusion.

One such android had been given false memories of being a pilot who had visited Groeskiv when it was stolen from out of time and space. After meeting the Fourteenth Doctor and her companion Fleur, he later found himself being stalked by Yasheia and was chased to the edge of the city boundaries. It was there that Yasheia then killed him. (TV: *The City Beyond Time*)

His body was later subject to an autopsy from the Doctor, who discovered that he - and all the other citizens of the city - were nothing more than an android. He was presumingly lost forever as Aecalatia crumbled to ash after the project was terminated, following Fleur's death at the hands of Yasheia. (TV: *The Woman Beyond Death*)

Malvalosi

The **Malvalosi** were a race of orthopteran humanoids. They were typically never found alone, and always in groups of three. They were also immune to most forms of laser weaponry because of their sturdy carapace which was capable of deflecting them. Because of their sensitive mandibles, they were also able to coherently navigate their way through spots where sight was not an option.

## History

During the genesis of the Malvalosi on Malvalos Minor, they shared their planet with another dominant life form known as the Jooroni; relatively small and carnivorous flying insectoid creatures. They fed on the young of the Malvalosi, until eventually they developed tactics to fend against the Jooroni. Constructing tunnels into the soft ground, they were able to become out of reach of their predators and better protect their children. Over the coming years however, the Jooroni eventually died out due to a drastic change in the atmosphere of Malvalos Minor; a change the Malvalosi were able to adapt to relatively easily.

The Malvalosi eventually expanded their settlements into more open spaces, developing farmland in preparation for trading and dealing with other settlements. They would trade such items as Swampfruits and handcrafted objects which would be seen as signs of peace, tranquility and harmony between different families. Some of these said handcrafted objects would consist of many technologies capable of possessing hovering properties, developed to better traverse the otherwise difficult terrain of their planet. Most common amongst hover technology would be Hover Cars.

A few hundred years later, just over halfway through the 40th century, the Malvalosi began to consider the expansion of their trading potential to those amongst the stars; their planet of Malvalos Minor being directly in line with one of the busiest space lanes in the Alpha Portland Sector. As they began to prepare for potential new tradespeople, their eager attitude was abruptly cut short however as a fleet of Cyber Ships descended down onto a nearby settlement. Contrary to what they first thought, the Cybermen were not there to seek trading opportunities but to instead massacre and convert their entire population in a bid to help regain their numbers in the raging Cyber-War which had found its way into the Alpha Portland Sector. Overpowered and outnumbered, it was a battle that the Malvalosi were unable to win and so they scrambled in groups and attempted to flee the safety of their own world.

One trio of Malvalosi, thanks to the use of a singular hover car which had managed to evade the sensors of the Cybermen, were able to successfully flee to an asteroid with scraps of their own culture being all that remained of their species. This asteroid later became home to the Klamstaxi Asteroid Market once the war was over. (TV: *Remnants of the Cybermen*)
Let The Hunt Begin! (TV story)

*"Where’s that gun that you always conveniently carry around?"
"What, you mean this? What about it?"
"Does it have a vinegar setting on it?"
"... a what?"
"A vinegar setting! You said it’s got about 10 different settings."
"Um... no?"
"Oh well, worth a shot. Run!"*
―The Twenty-First Doctor and Vienna Salvatori

***Let The Hunt Begin!*** was the Halloween Special of Series 31 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

Far away, on a distant prison facility in the Celta-Gamma System, inmates seem to be mysteriously disappearing; reportedly being transferred to more 'high-end' compounds by the uptight security officers and inspectors which frequent the facility on an almost monthly basis. Nobody knows just where they're being transferred to though - and infamous bounty hunter Vienna Salvatori is equally as curious. So much so, that she's committed a few crimes; just to get in and see what's happening. Supposedly, it's on the outer sector of their galaxy protected by camouflaging technology. Except, that's not what's really happening.

Every month, the carefully selected prisoners of their captors' choosing are waking up in a new environment. They're free - at a cost. A cost which could very well mean that their own lives are at stake, as soon they discover that this new and idyllic world is frequented by monstrous creatures which stalk the environment around them. Terrifying beasts with equally horrifying unique abilities. Horrifying beasts which a newcomer known as the Doctor vaguely recognises, and knows can only originate from one world: Raxacoricofallapatorius. Only - the Doctor doesn't remember ever being a prisoner of the Celta-Gamma prison, so what's she doing here?

Soon though, as innocents are ruthlessly slaughtered in the battle for their own lives, trapped on this hellhole of a planet, there shall be an even larger threat. A threat which the Doctor has faced in her past, and yet is not prepared to fight again...

The Slitheen have enacted their largest and most tactical scheme yet, with the Doctor and Vienna being forced to team up to survive - directly in the heart of it.

Malda

**Malda** was the Commander of a Drahvin prison station, used to incarcerate those who defied their rigid dictatorship - or even simply just passed through Drahvin airspace, amongst other "crimes".

## Biography

Unbeknowst to Malda, the station of which she oversaw housed a number of inmates who were planning on an escape by stealing a vessel and self-destructing the station. Using this as a distraction, they would proceed to infiltrate a second prison station in order to free more of their people and so on.

This plan was aided by newcomers; the Sixteenth Doctor, Violet and Leo after learning of their reasoning behind being imprisoned. This plan would never come to fruition however, as during their rebellion, the Drahvin scouts outsmarted the group by using their decoy First Prisoner, an agent of theirs, activating the station's self-destruct themselves in time for there to be no possible way for their captives to escape and cause further chaos.

Malda therefore died in the resulting explosion. (COMIC: *Agents of Drahva*)

Pestilence (TV story)

***Pestilence*** was the seventh episode of Series 2 of *Doctor Who*. It was the first part of a two-part story, followed by *Ameliorate*.

It marked the re-appearance of the Cybermen and introduced a new version of the species, who had escaped the Cyber-Wars and now resembled English Plague Doctors.

## Synopsis

The Doctor and her friends arrive in the year 1665. Death and pestilence lingers in the air, and their adventure soon brings them to a village abandoned without explanation. Fleur can't shake the feeling of being watched, and Elias is seeing strange silver phantoms. After a night's rest, Fleur and Elias wake up to find their friend gone, with nothing but a note left behind.

As they set off to look for her, they notice that something is wrong with the plague doctors that are supposed to heal the sick. They appear out of nowhere in different towns with no identification, never ever speaking. And when Fleur realises that Elias is infected, the risk becomes even greater, and the initially friendly villagers begin to grow suspicious of them. With tensions rising, things are about to reach breaking point.

But where did the Doctor go? Who are the plague doctors? And can Fleur find Elias help before he suffers a grim fate?

## Crew

## Continuity

* The Doctor uses the TARDIS randomiser. It quickly breaks after use. (TV: *The Armageddon Factor*)
* The Doctor mentions "one of the Forest of the Night"; a clear reference towards the Series 8 (Peter Capaldi) episode of the same name, in which, a forest grows overnight to cover the entire planet in order to protect it from solar flares. (TV: *In the Forest of the Night*)
* Elias is jokingly asked by the Doctor if he viewed their encounters with the Trickster, Daleks and Silurians as "just a bit of fun." (TV: *History Misaligned*, *The Paradox Machine*, *Christmas and the Silurians*)
* The Doctor meets a Cyber-Warrior alongside the new Plague Doctor Cybermen. (TV: *Ascension of the Cybermen, Once, Upon Time, The Vanquishers*)

## Story Notes

* King has stated that the idea for a Cyberman in the shape of a Plague Doctor came from seeing images of them and reading up where they were described as foreboding figures of death, akin to the Grim Reaper and that the blank emotionless glass lens where their eyes should be made it feel like the idea had come gift wrapped.
* The scene at the end where the Cybermen began to rise from their graves was inspired by King's taste for the zombie genre, particularly that of the original George Romero *of the Dead* series, and that they like to think of the scene as a little tribute to the late director.
* King struggled on how best to name the episode, flip-flopping between *Pestilence* and *The Pestilence* many times before finally settling on *Pestilence*.

Natalia Goldsteed

**Natalia Goldsteed** was a leader within the Time Agency during the 52nd century, who sent Alistair Carson back in time to the beginning of the First World War under the disguise of a member of the War Office carrying classified and confidential documents.

## Biography

The documents in which Natalia gave Alistair was carrying had been purposefully sabotaged and were in fact the details of the Second World War. If he had played along and sent the documents over to the official British government figures, history would have been completely torn apart. (TV:*The Timeless Train*)

It was later revealed that Natalia Goldsteed was working for the Eighth Master and had been subsequently killed for her failure, as well as Alistair, shortly after the Doctor's, Alec's and Constance's departure from Truro. (TV: *Spiders and Fireworks*)
Pax I

## Incarnations of Pax

**Paxiartheosendruel** (or **Pax** for short) was a renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey and a companion of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors.

## Personality

Pax was young for a Time Lord, and thus naïve, wide-eyed, optimistic and what some might consider to be "wholesome" and "innocent". He admired the Doctor deeply, who took on a much more protective and nurturing role around him, wanting to be his teacher of the universe as he often found himself bedazzled and amazed by it.

However, despite his naïvety, he was still somewhat strong and capable to take care of himself when necessary. He often struggled with the concept of regeneration with the knowledge that it would someday be his future, finding the idea of becoming someone entirely new daunting.

Following his two decades' worth of travel alongside the Fourteenth Doctor; by the time of the Fifteenth Doctor, Pax had benefitted extremely well from his teacher-student relationship with the Doctor. He became more confident and sure of himself, having gained both independence and competence during his travels - and all while still maintaining that at-times blind optimism and faith that makes him who he is.

However, the Doctor's regeneration began to sow some seeds of doubt within his mind. Many Time Lords in their first incarnation found the idea of changing everything that made them who they were, a daunting prospect - and Pax, having lived a relatively sheltered life on Gallifrey, where an incarnation could last centuries or even millennia, never had to deal with the consequences of being in near-constant danger before. Eager to understand this new Doctor, and unravel both what had changed and what had remained since her last incarnation, he knew that in his future, he too would regenerate one day - but was he prepared for it? The answer is: he didn't truly know...

## Appearance

In his first incarnation, Pax resembled a tall man in his early twenties with lightly coloured skin, piercing blue eyes and a mop of black hair.
Optrax

The **Optrax** were creatures employed by the Megara.

## Characteristics

The Optrax naturally resembled what could kindly be described as bipedal pigs. They were tall, stocky and muscular, and had hairless, deep blue skin. They had tiny yellow eyes under a prominent brow and large, wet snouts.

Despite appearances, the Optrax were surprisingly intelligent and significantly cybernetically altered. Small mechanical upgrades to their muscles were very common, and their crania were almost always augmented with a permanent metal helmet. Parts of their bodies lost through combat were replaced with mechanical alternatives, to the extent that some had limbs replaced purely for the strength advantage.

They wore thick black synthetic armour, gilded with metal studs, spikes and armour plates. They openly carried deadly equipment, varying from spiked melee weapons to enormous laser firearms.

Each Optrax also had a very distinct identity, attempting to show their independence physically on their clothes. They differed greatly in demeanor and fighting style. (TV: *Legion of Ghosts*)

## History

The origin of the Optrax is ambiguous, mainly due to their reluctance to communicate; while able to talk, they almost always chose other methods to get their message across. The Megara had seen them be used as hired thugs by criminals they had processed, and saw the advantage of having a subservient class that could take part in more physical matters. They met with a select group of Optrax, who agreed to the Megara's terms, and so allowed a certain number of their people to work for the Megara at one time. (TV: *Legion of Ghosts*)

## Work with the Megara

The Optrax worked as essentially security guards for the Megara. They protected the biomachines, and acted as a more physical way of guarding their prisoners. Individual Optrax did essentially anything the Megara wanted, as long as it didn't go against the collective morality or strategy of the Optrax themselves. Similarly, the individual Optrax would do whatever they wanted, as long as it fell within the scope of the Megara guidelines and their vague orders at the time ("guard cells 334 to 546", for example).

They worked under the Megara in a cyclical pattern, after a shift of several weeks was complete an Optrax would return home and be replaced with a new one. This was done on a very individual basis, in contrast with what a more organised and militaristic group would do by organising members into groups and classes and moving them around together. (TV: *Legion of Ghosts*)
Lemos

**Come back later.**
This page is under construction. Either a source for Lemos is yet to be released or the writeup simply isn't finished yet. Just bear in mind that not all information will be present here.

## General Info

### Location:

Outskirts of the Beta Keplon Cluster

**Lemos** was the twin planet of Melos, located on the outer regions of the Beta Keplon Cluster. (TV: *The Rebel Invasion*, *The Dalek Incursion*)

## Characteristics

Lemos was a malefic world of dark canyons and seas of foul slime, lit by a baleful red sun. It was extremely hot and difficult to breathe on the surface, but the baking heat and choking gases vanished below, in a web-like cave network criss-crossing about a mile under the ground. The remains of a mysterious past civilisation were still visible on the world above; eroded buildings and eldritch shrines loomed out of the orange fog like ghosts.

The planet no longer supported much native life, although there was evidence of prior large vegetation and the plethora of corroded fossils showed there was a wide variety of animals at one point as well. However, later, the only animal life was an array of small but hardy cannibalistic lizards.

In the rare moments that the sky cleared, one of the fifteen small moons orbiting the planet may be visible.

And when the crew realise that they are in fact at the site of the Shevek Cro'taq, a legendary artefact that is said to bestow ultimate power upon whomever finds it, they soon realise they're in way over their heads. Yet Professor Karina Wells from Ajra Prime is insistent that if they put their minds to it, they can overcome the trials and tribulations set by the Shevek Cro'taq.

Can they uncover the meaning of these events? Or are their minds and their wills not strong enough to see the mission through to the end?

She can’t really be here.

All around the world, reports are coming in of huge pyramids cropping up in the capital cities of various countries - London, Washington D.C, Paris, Beijing and all over; with people talking about how the people they’ve lost have returned to them and have begun begging them to come and see inside the pyramids.

Just a little peek.

Operation: Extinction (novel)

*"When I said thrill-seeking, I didn't mean being chased down by monstrous green creatures who want our skin!"*
―Ruby Barrella

***Operation: Extinction*** was the eighth novel of the New Series Adventures.

## Synopsis

They say that more often than not, wherever you turn in this wide and expansive universe, capitalism will always prevail; an inescapable and ruthless scheme with only the most narrow-minded taking full advantage over it. However, what if something attempted to use it for good?

Surely that’s impossible, right? Well at least, that’s what Ruby believes - and when her younger brother Damien receives tickets to visit a new theme park out in Dartmoor with a more than suspicious history, they’re soon going to find themselves in with a thrill of their lives - and I don’t just mean the deathly rollercoasters...

As the enclosures, home to the vast number of extinct creatures resurrected by the cunning Slitheen family, are abruptly sabotaged by unknown forces, the Doctor, Osric, Ruby and Damien will soon find themselves in dire assistance of their bulky green adversaries - but what if they refused? What if they were willing to let Earth become quickly overrun by an array of highly dangerous creatures who should’ve been killed millions of years ago, all because they want to fix their ship and depart?

Surely they’re not that selfish, right?

Ninth Master

## Renewed regenerative cycle

*"Peoples of the universe, please attend carefully. Oh now, what was I going to say? Oh, right. This entire universe is now under my domain. No more Doctor, I’m afraid. All of you shall obey your true Master, now."*
―The Ninth Master, *Diminished Hope*

Trigger happy and insane, this incarnation of **the Master** continued to plague the Sixteenth Doctor even after regenerating and ultimately set in motion the events that led to the Doctor's death.

## Personality

The Ninth Master, much unlike her predecessor, was extremely insane. Her very itchy trigger finger typically landed her in a lot of danger and trouble in most cases, although she remained rather indifferent towards it. While being a lot less laid back than her eighth incarnation, her skill at disguises became a lot more prominent. Whenever she killed someone, she claimed to the Doctor that she felt a 'little buzz of satisfaction'. She was very persuasive and was easily able to get her way due to the trusting face she supposedly had. (TV: *Life or Death?*, *The Three Masters*, *Vestige of the Master*)

When imprisoned on Shada, as seen on the database in which Tari Ackerman looked through, the Master had reportedly broken out a maximum of 17 times, except all of the attempts had ultimately failed. She also supposedly murdered 23 guards and 7 inmates. (TV: *Diminished Hope*)

The Doctor labelled her to Tari as the most dangerous woman in the universe. (TV: *Blood On Their Hands*)

Pryp'yat' (TV story)

***Pryp'yat'*** was the third episode of Series 20 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

When working on getting the TARDIS fixed, the Doctor comes across a broken part which needs replacing, but there's only one more problem. A special material is needed to fix it, a material that is only available at one point in time and then never again.

That point in time? The Chernobyl Power Plant in Pryp’yat' on the 26th April 1986.

The Doctor decides that he has to take the risk if he ever hopes to have use of the TARDIS again and despite his protests, Ruby insists on coming with him. By employing the use of a Vortex Manipulator, the Doctor and Ruby arrive in Pryp’yat', but they seem to have made a mistake, because they have just one hour before the accident occurs; with a single objective - retrieve the materials before the reactor explodes.

## Synopsis

Between broadcasts of Professor Egelbert Hesse explaining his plan for peace and the superiority of his civilisation through the creation of a new biological weapon, the Doctor and Anna investigate the remains of an immense explosion. Professor Hesse has extracted and duplicated the enzymes of a Pting to create the most destructive bomb ever seen in this sector of the galaxy!

But with the science not being quite ready, the Pting not quite securely contained as Professor Hesse had quite hoped, what would become of his life’s work if all goes wrong? And, the Doctor wonders, why are there all these nibble marks on the debris? Time is quickly running out for the Doctor and Anna, just as time is running out for the production of this episode...

Krelin

**Krelin** was a planet in a binary star system, in the outskirts of Rutan space.

## History

The planet was briefly used as a sanctuary for the Rutans after the religious natives offered them recuperation. However, in a rushed attempt to flee from the system after learning of approaching Sontaran scout vessels, a handful of Rutans were captured and imprisoned by the natives in an attempt to save their own skin from the opposing clone warriors. Disregarding their attempts of reason, the Sontarans sought not to negotiate but instead carpet-bomb the entire surface of the planet using bacterial weapons. Nothing survived the fallout, and the entire planet was left to waste.

Several years later, once the surface of the planet was deemed reasonably safe, it was revisited by the Sontarans in order to retrace the steps of their adversaries. Using several captured Rutans, they forced them into uncovering any possible new information they could find on their deceased brethren. This would be at the disadvantage of the clone species however, as soon the Rutans overthrew the crew of their prison ship. They weren't completely stranded on Krelin though; disguising themselves in a humanoid form, they tricked three supposed newcomers - the Fifteenth Doctor, Jake Scott and Emi - into believing that they were the only remaining natives left after the bacteriological fallout. (TV: *Decimation*)

In reality, the Rutans wanted the power to resurrect their previous kind using the benevolent powers which this once religious world frequently practiced. They were unable to harness it. (TV: *The Flames of Sontar*)
Logan (History Misaligned)

**Logan** was a priest at St. Peter's Basilica, Rome, in the year 800.

## Biography

When Elias and Fleur ran from Tomas into the church, he was concerned at what was causing the commotion and impatiently demanded information from the three, before he was shot and killed by Tomas.

When the Trickster's plan was later foiled by the Fourteenth Doctor, making it so that nothing he or Tomas did in Rome ever actually happened, Logan was presumably restored back to life. (TV: *History Misaligned*)

## Trivia

The character being called Logan is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Fourteenth Doctor showrunner Logan Crimson.
Starwork Dramatic Theatre

The **Starwork Dramatic Theatre** was a performing theatre located in space. It travelled across the cosmos and used magnificent astral phenomenons; such as stars, supernovas and black holes as part of the performances.

## History

The Theatre grew popular by hosting competitions - where winners would get a grand prize of becoming an officially licensed performer for the Theatre. One such winner was Roman Murphy who grew rapidly in popularity as he rose through the ranks from Junior Entertainer with a fifteen minute segment allocated before the Theatre's headline dance acts to Arena Full Star Showrunner with a two hour comedy event with his own Junior Entertainers assigned before his show. The audience loved him, the critics adored him and the Theatre were beyond pleased about how much money he brought them with his shows that would often sell out all the seats.

This led to him becoming director of the Theatre after the previous one, Alexandra Hetrlo, died suddenly under mysterious circumstances; being voted in with almost 79% of the staff vote. After a few months, Roman changed the Theatre rapidly - tickets became a lot more expensive and exclusive, with performers being selected less often and competitions almost completely withdrawn. The official reasoning was to save money and quickly draw up cash - but the true objective was a lot darker. In reality, the audience were rich and bored aristocrats who had a taste for blood and the performers were naive and inexperienced people, eager to please.

The performances were set up in such a way that any fluff note or wrong dance move from a performer was met with death via vaporisation - and this was exactly what the new audience were here for. Murphy had a dark and twisted mind, which could've been gauged from his extremely dark sense of humour - and chose to cater to this new audience. The Theatre operated this way for many years, with staff being brainwashed, bullied and harassed into keeping quiet or replaced with people who merely did not care. Performers who survived had their memories altered to forget the deaths before they were forced back into performing, trapped in a cycle until they were finally killed and missing persons cases were "solved" with holograms - although their success rate was never 100% and typically aroused suspicion after some time. This didn't tend to be the case, however, as Murphy tended to pick those who were desperate and unlikely to be missed.

Nevertheless, Murphy's reign of terror would come to an end with the Sixteenth Doctor, alongside companion sibling duo; Alec and Constance O'Conor's arrival. (TV: *The Unearthly Dramatics of the Theatre*)
Osekri

The **Osekri** were an indigenous species of Osekron, a planet colonised by Ice Warriors.

## History

Although the Osekri could not talk and it was unclear as to whether or not they were capable of intelligent and sentient thought, it was whispered and speculated across the Ice Warrior colony that the Osekri resented any species that tried to colonise the planet. Indeed, Osekron was littered with the ruins of a previous civilisation - which the Ice Warriors believed were built by the last species that tried to colonise it and who must've all been wiped out by the Osekri.

Whatever the case, the Osekri were extremely hostile to anyone not part of their species and regularly attacked the Ice Warriors at night, killing a great number of them. The Seventeenth Doctor and Teddy arrived on the planet during one such attack in 6570 - where Szoskar was killed, having been ripped out of his armour by the Osekri and dragged underground into their lair.

When the sun came up, the Osekri retreated, but returned the next night, where an operation was being performed that allowed Aklur's mind to be transferred into a new body in order to survive. The procedure had been lengthy and captured the attention of everyone in the colony, meaning the Osekri were able to sneak in, eventually killing Alzhyr. However, the Osekri were fended off once again, but with the death of their leader, the Ice Warriors made arrangements to leave Osekron, finally letting the Osekri have the planet all to themselves. (TV: *Frozen Whimpers*)

On a later visit to Osekron, the Doctor, Teddy and Aklur - now known as Amy-Mae - discovered that the Osekri had, in fact, nothing to do with the disappearance of the original civilisation and rather, they had evolved years after a gamma-ray burst had struck the planet; which was the *actual* cause for the Lirvaleons vanishing. (TV: *Agoraphobia*)
Leo III

**Pope Leo III** was the bishop of Rome and ruler of the Papal States from 26 December 795 to his death. Protected by Charlemagne from the supporters of his predecessor, Adrian I, Leo subsequently strengthened Charlemagne's position by crowning him emperor.

## Biography

In the true timeline, Pope Leo crowned Charlemagne Emperor of the Carolingian Empire, which was considered by many to be the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire.

However, following a need to regenerate following a violent experience, the Trickster recruited Tomas, where they manipulated time to suit themselves. Tomas travelled across time which created a new timeline - manipulating Leo's life so he never became Pope and could ascend to Emperor, establishing dialogue with the Lombards so they would attack Rome and drawing Charlemagne away from the city, who now only ruled over the Franks. Leo became Emperor on Christmas Day, but was unaware of the dangers to come.

Indeed, during his post Coronation celebrations, Leo was informed by a Roman Soldier that Rome was now being invaded by the Lombards and set off to deal with the situation. He was later restored to his proper place in time and space once the timeline had been corrected by the Doctor's companions Elias and Fleur. (TV: *History Misaligned*)
