WELCOME TO THE EXPANDED UNIVERSE
Doctor Who first aired on November 23rd, 1963, and within a few weeks - in some part thanks to the Daleks popularity - became a national, and then international, phenomenon. 50 years later, weve seen 26 seasons of the original series, seven and counting of the new series, and eleven Doctors. Thats if you were only watching television. But Doctor Who is much more than that. Comic strips, short stories, novels, plays, and audio adventures have rounded out the Doctors adventures through time and space, and continue to do so. This is the Expanded Doctor Who Universe. Cubicle 7 is doing an amazing job bringing GameMasters and Players alike all the characters, creatures, places and things from the canonical Doctor Who - the Doctor Who as seen on television - but what of all those other adventures? Unfortunately, they are not part of Cubicle 7s licensing agreement with the BBC. Those extracanonical tales are what this series of digital, fan-made, not-for-profit, unofficial and unapproved sourcebooks will do its best to cover.
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
In the pages ahead, you will find companions that were never seen on television, monsters you might only have been able to read about, places to visit, and artifacts to discover, all from books, audios and comics based on the second Doctors adventures. To make this book as useful as possible, weve divided it by category (Companions and Allies, Monsters and Villains, Locations in Time and Space, and Gadgets and Artefacts) rather than by story (as Cubicle 7s Doctor sourcebooks have done), and because you might not have discovered these stories yet, weve tried to keep the spoilers to a minimum. Each section is numbered individually to help us add content even after initial publication (see Note, below). But wait, theres more. Weve also included a section on canonical characters that were left out of the official sourcebook because of space considerations. Youll also find a timeline that sets the Doctors expanded universe stories into the larger context of the show - when did he visit Vortis centuries after his first incarnation or repeatedly fight the Selachians? - and a list of Adventure Seeds based on the back cover copy of the source material, at once for inspiration and to pay tribute to the original stories that brought about this book. And please dont skip the Credits page, where we thank all the contributors to this book, as well as the people whose imaginations brought these concepts to life in the first place. Note: This sourcebook is dynamic. That means we may yet add to it as new stories from the expanded universe continue to be released. If you would like to contribute something to this series of sourcebooks, we hope you wont hesitate to contact us through the DWAITAS Proboards.

VICTORIA WATERFIELD
CHAPTER 2: COMPANIONS AND ALLIES
After Victoria first left the Doctor and Jamie and put her days of travelling in the TARDIS behind her, she lived with Frank and Maggie Harris in Yorkshire for a little over ten years. However, at some point during this period Victoria was reunited with the Doctor and Jamie, travelling again for a little while before returning back to her adopted home with the Harrises. It wasnt until the early 1980s that she made a clean break, moving to London and a job at the British Museum. Shortly afterwards, Victoria inherited her fathers fortune as provided for in a will written in his hand and dated 1966, which she assumed he must have done during his experiments with time travel. This made her an independently wealthy woman. Experiencing recurring dreams of the Det-sen monastery, Victoria decided to make a return visit to Tibet to try to lay its ghosts to rest. She found the monks to be keeping a mysterious figure captive in their inner sanctum, but by breaking the spirit trap she released the figure and caused an enormous outpouring of energy that destroyed the monastery. Back in London, Victoria was contacted by the elderly Professor Travers who encouraged her to use her wealth to found the New World University, where students would be taught by computer. Victoria became the Vice Chancellor of the NWU with Travers as the Chancellor, and it is not until 1995 that Victoria realises that she has been manipulated. The real Professor Travers died years before and his body is now being used as a vessel for the Great Intelligence. The NWU is part of its plan to conquer the Earth using the virtual reality of the internet. With Victoria ensnared in the scheme and threatened by the presence of the Children of the New World (Chillys), it may be up to other companions and allies of the Doctor to rescue her and prevent the Earth falling to the Intelligence! By the 1990s, Victoria is in her early forties. She is a more confident woman than the young girl who travelled with the Doctor more than twenty years before, though she is still cautious by nature. She retains some aspects of her prim and proper 19th Century values and behaviour, and while she still lived with the Harrises she found it difficult to adjust to the 20th Century. But by and large, Victoria has finally come to terms with her displaced life and has embraced modern technology, though with a hint of mysticism thrown in. Until the realisation of what the New World University actually represents, her intention is to use it to bring technological advances to the masses for

SEASON 6B
THE SEASON 6B HYPOTHESIS
There is a fan theory, though not one that is universally accepted, that the 2nd Doctor didnt regenerate at the end of The War Games but had a number of further adventures prior to Spearhead from Space in what is commonly referred to Season 6B. In this extension to the 2nd Doctors life, the Time Lords have agreed to postpone regenerating the Doctor in return for him acting as their agent for a time. Although this is never referred to on-screen, proponents of Season 6B place the 2nd Doctors appearances in both The Five Doctors and The Two Doctors within this period, and also the novel World Game, the Big Finish audio Helicon Prime, several short stories and at least some of the stories from TV Comic. Under this hypothesis, the Doctor is even reunited with Jamie and Victoria for a while. However, by the time of the TV Comic story Action in Exile, his companions have both been returned to their respective times and places and his exile on Earth has begun, even though he is still in his second incarnation. World Game actually begins with a scene following directly on from the Doctors trial, in a sequence in which the Doctor is offered the chance to delay his regeneration by acting as an agent of the Celestial Intervention Agency. The 2nd Doctors adventures in TV Comic can also be placed in Season 6B, not least because he is reunited with Jamie for a number of adventures, and the final few stories lead directly to the Doctors eventual regeneration for more about which, read on.
In the case of The Five Doctors and The Two Doctors, fans point to the Doctor looking visibly older than he did in The War Games (and likewise with Jamie in the latter of these). But even discounting this on the grounds that it was the actors rather than the characters who had aged, in The Two Doctors the Doctor is expressly working for the Time Lords and has even been given a Stattenheim Remote Control to help him (Some of us have earned these little privileges). As for Helicon Primes placement in Season 6B, this relies entirely upon dialogue which refers to Victoria being on a graphology course, placing it at around the same time as The Two Doctors: if The Two Doctors is in Season 6B, then so is Helicon Prime. In addition to all of these, a number of short stories from both BBC and Big Finish Short Trips anthologies can be placed in Season 6B, either expressly so or by implication.
ACTION IN EXILE
Towards the end of the 2nd Doctors appearances in comicstrip form, during the period between the broadcast of The War Games and Spearhead from Space, TV Comic took a rather unusual decision. Rather than just continue with the 2nd Doctors travels in space and time until they could replace him with the 3rd Doctor, the writers depicted the Doctor (or rather, Dr Who) as not yet having been regenerated, but already living in exile on contemporary Earth. The TARDIS is nowhere to be seen until the final story. Instead in the first of these stories, Action in Exile, the Doctor checks into the swanky Carlton Grange Hotel in London, from where he is based until his regeneration is forced on him.
A2
In a foreshadowing of his days as UNITs scientific advisor, the Doctor seems to be well known to the authorities, as in one story he is called upon to assist the Ministry of Defence. In fact, he appears to be quite famous: on one occasion, he is contacted at the hotel by an eminent scientist, and in his final story he is even invited to appear on a TV show. The final 2nd Doctor comic-strip (and final Season 6B story) is The Night Walkers, in which the Doctor is lured to a remote spot where scarecrows animated by the Time Lords take him into the TARDIS and trigger his regeneration.
ANIMATED SCARECROW
GAMING IN SEASON 6B
Season 6B offers a couple of options for a DWAITAS campaign, either one with the classic team of the 2nd Doctor, Jamie and Victoria acting as semi-official agents of the Time Lords or one with the 2nd Doctor stranded on Earth, but not yet linked up with UNIT. Working on the orders of Gallifrey, the Doctor would have more control over the TARDIS than previously though it would frequently be hijacked by the Time Lords in order for the team to carry out their appointed missions. Once his exile begins, the Doctor seems to have more freedom of action (even though he is stuck on one planet in one time period). Perhaps this indicates that the Doctor has temporarily given the Time Lords the slip and although he no longer has access to his TARDIS, he is lying low to avoid his regeneration being carried out. After all, the Doctor doesnt go to meet the Time Lords scarecrow servants willingly. So a series of Earth-bound adventures against mad scientists, environmental threats or alien menaces, but interspersed with pursuit by the Time Lords and their minions, could form the basis of a DWAITAS campaign.

ZOE HERIOT
(Echoes of Grey, et al.)
I remember everything. I remember nothing. When Zoe and Jamie were both returned to their respective time periods by the Time Lords, their memories of travelling with the Doctor were removed. Zoe remembers meeting the Doctor on the Wheel in Space, but has no recollection of stowing away aboard the TARDIS and believes that the Doctor and Jamie left without her. This loss of memory has caused her problems ever since. Within a month of her returning to the Wheel, a medical examination uncovered that Zoe was physically two years older than she should be. Zoe concluded that the only logical explanation was that she had had more adventures with the Doctor and Jamie, but that her memories of these had been deleted. Another attack by the Cybermen on the Wheel shortly afterwards led to Zoe being subjected to conversion into a Cyber Planner, which she only narrowly avoided, but not before her missing memories were restored. But once the Cybermen had been defeated, the Time Lords imposed amnesia reasserted itself and she once again forgot about her travels in time and her missing two years. Throughout her life, Zoe has always found it difficult to build close relationships as a result of the mental damage caused by the Time Lords conditioning of her mind. She began to experience nightmares of her missing adventures, which caused her enough concern that she sought psychiatric counselling. A one point, Zoe was visited by the 3rd Doctor who was hoping that her eidetic memory would enable her to remember the dematerialisation codes for his TARDIS. But the shock of seeing the TARDIS again caused Zoe to collapse. The Doctor suspected that the Time Lords had sent him to check whether their conditioning of Zoe was still in place. Now in her fifties, Zoe was contacted by a woman who claimed to have met her, along with the Doctor and Jamie, at the Whitaker Institute in Central Australia. The woman was able to use a device to restore Zoes memories of that adventure, at least temporarily. But the real reason for the woman approaching her was that the company which owned the Institute wanted Zoe to provide them with the genetic code of the Achromatics, which they intended to develop as weapons. When this failed, the company had her arrested for a long list of trumped up charges and threatened to have her executed if she did not give them the secrets of time travel. Even though they have managed to recover more of Zoes lost memories, she still believes that she did not travel with the Doctor and Jamie and that the company are trying to discredit her for reasons she does not yet know. Quite how Zoes predicament will be resolved is as yet unknown. But while she remains in custody, she is at the mercy of people who only care about wresting the knowledge of time travel from her mind, with no concern about the damage they might inflict on Zoe herself!

CAPTAIN DOUGLAS CAVENDISH
(Downtime)
In 1984, Second Lieutenant Douglas Cavendish of UNIT was sent to the Det-sen monastery in Tibet to investigate reports of an explosion. Finding the monastery destroyed, he inadvertently touched a strange web-like substance and fell under the control of the Great Intelligence. Eleven years later, Cavendish is a captain in UNITs Virtual Ordnance Group, the department which specialises in investigating computer threats. During the intervening years, Cavendish has been a sleeper agent within UNIT while the Intelligence has manipulated Victoria Waterfield into preparing the way for its next attempt to invade the Earth. As the Great Intelligences plans come to fruition, Cavendish is tasked with finding out whether UNIT has any souvenirs from the old days. In particular, the Intelligence is trying to obtain something it calls the Locus, one of the miniature Yeti figures which acts as a focus for its energies on Earth. Cavendish is also the Intelligences inside man for information on UNITs activities and can be used to run interference against UNIT to undermine their investigations and actions. Ultimately he can also be used as a puppet possessed by the consciousness of the Intelligence itself. Captain Cavendish is a tall slim man, whose classically handsome face and aquiline nose make him instantly recognisable. He is an Old Etonian and has the polite and suavely charming manner of an upper-class English gentleman. While undetected, Cavendish is a trusted officer within UNIT. But the mental turmoil from the influence of the Great Intelligence means that he is acting more and more irrationally.

Following the failure of the Great Intelligences plans, Captain Cavendish was discharged from UNIT, but as he had not been in control of his actions, there was no blemish placed on his service record. However, the mental scars of his experience meant that Douglas spend several years in a psychiatric hospital, during which time his only visitor was Kate Lethbridge-Stewart. Cavendish eventually retired to a cottage in the country, but he sought Kates assistance when he again fell prey to another outside influence, this time from ghostly apparitions who seem to somehow be connected to the Daemons. When he left UNIT, Captain Cavendish clandestinely took a number of artefacts from the UNIT Vault a preserved giant maggot, a deactivated Dalek exterminator gun, a jar of jelly babies and so on. Who knows what other items he has in his secret collection and what dangers they present?

the local organisational structure, usually comprised of a small group of technical staff headed up by a junior officer reporting directly to the commanding officer within that country. The Virtual Ordnance Group was initially set up to counter menaces posed by computers themselves, particularly artificial intelligences in the wake of the Llanfairfach affair. But in the age of the internet and home computing, it has a much wider remit and investigates phenomena as diverse as advances in virtual reality technology, sentient software viruses and even computer-based alien races. Adding the Virtual Ordnance Group to a UNIT-based campaign opens up additional possibilities for technically-minded PCs beyond that of the role of scientific advisor.

DUKE OF WELLINGTON (World Game)

The 2nd Doctor met Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, on a number of occasions when Wellington had become a pawn in a game between members of a race of immortals called the Players. At the time, the Doctor was acting as an agent of the Celestial Intervention Agency and was trying to prevent one of the Players from assassinating the Duke before his defeat of Napolon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo. The Honourable Arthur Wellesley was born in Dublin in 1769, the fourth son of the 1st Earl of Mornington. Despite enrolling at Eton at the age of 12, he showed little intellectual promise and had to be withdrawn three years later due to a shortage of family funds. He was subsequently educated in France and made a remarkable improvement, becoming a proficient horseman and learning the French language. In 1787, Wellesley was commissioned into the British Army and became aide-de-camp to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The following year, he made his first venture into politics and was elected as Member of Parliament for Trim in the Irish House of Commons. Wellesleys early military promotions were largely obtained by purchasing the ranks, a common practice at the time. So in 1793 he became first a major in the 33rd Regiment and a few months later, lieutenant-colonel. While still a major, he saw his first active service in the Netherlands as part of an unsuccessful campaign to invade France. In 1796, Wellesley was now a full colonel and accompanied his regiment to India before being sent on a brief expedition to the Philippines. Over the following years, he saw extensive action in India, returning to Britain as a brigadier-general in 1805. He was then involved in an Anglo-Russian expedition to north Germany, the war against Denmark (becoming lieutenant general) and, from 1808-1813, the Peninsular War against France. Wellesley became a full general in July 1811 and was created Duke of Wellington in May 1814 after driving the French out of Spain. Although a failed attempt had been made on Wellesleys life in London in 1805, the major threat from the Players is to come in the build-up to the Battle of Waterloo itself in 1815. The Doctor even pops forward in time to see what would happen to history if Wellington was killed and finds that, with Wellingtons death, the Player known as the Countess has urged Napolon on to greater and greater conquests. The Doctor and his fellow Time Lord, Serena, must work to prevent history from being hijacked! The Duke of Wellington is an impressive figure and a powerful personality. He keeps his public emotions well in check, but privately displaying grief at the loss of British lives under his command. He can also appear to be disdainful of those he considers to be beneath him, either socially or in terms of ability, and does not even speak to his servants unless he has to, preferring to leave his instructions for them on written notes. It should be noted that Wellington doesnt become known as the Iron Duke until well into his later political career, a long time after

GEORGE WASHINGTON (The Revolutionaries)

The Doctor and Jamies encounter with George Washington during the American Revolutionary War is a demonstration of just how easy it is to inadvertently change history with potentially catastrophic results! Landing in a snowy New Jersey landscape in December 1776, the time travellers quickly find themselves imprisoned by Hessian soldiers under the command of the British. But when the Doctor learns that Washington and his troops have also been captured, he realises that the timeline has gone off course. History records that Washington should easily have won the Battle of Trenton, as the Hessians were caught napping at Christmas. But the appearance of a pair of time travelling schoolteachers from the 30th Century had put the Hessians on alert, resulting in Washingtons defeat. The Doctor found George Washington to be a stern imposing figure. At this point in his career, he is 44 years old and is General and Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army. The Revolutionary War has been underway for almost two years. Washington had been appointed as Commander-in-Chief due to his experiences in the North American theatre of the Seven Years War, and as Colonel of the Virginia Regiment, in which latter capacity he fought in several campaigns against the Native Americans. Since the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, Washington had successfully concluded the siege of Boston, forcing the British to withdraw from the city in March 1776. However, the following August, Washingtons forces were defeated at New York and were forced to flee, leaving the city to the British attackers. Other defeats meant that the Continental Army was in difficulties in terms of losses and morale, and it was Washingtons victory at the Battle of Trenton, followed shortly afterwards by another at Princeton, which enabled the Americans to drive the British back to New York. Trenton is therefore a key victory for Washington, and his defeat and capture by the Hessians would have unforeseeable consequences on the outcome of the War something the Doctor will need to put right! George Washington was a commanding physical presence and a powerful leader, famous for his determination, personal integrity and patriotism. He was noted for his humility and for his maturity of judgement even as a young man. As a military tactician, Washington used harassing tactics of quick attacks and retreats following his early defeats in 1776, but later favoured large-scale battles. Although not in the first rank of military strategists, he was an accomplished politician able to use his charismatic personality to best advantage. It is therefore not surprising that he became the first President of the United States, serving in that office in two terms from 1789 until 1797, but refusing to serve for a third term. Washington retired to his home in Mount Vernon, Virginia in March 1797, living there until his death in December 1799.

HORATIO NELSON
(H.M.S. TARDIS, World Game)
Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bront, Knights Companion was an English naval officer famous for his service during the Napoleonic Wars. Born in Norfolk on 29th September 1758, Nelson joined the Royal Navy in 1771 at the age of 12 as an Ordinary Seaman and Coxswain, serving on HMS Raissonable under the command of his uncle, Captain Maurice Suckling. He was quickly appointed as Midshipman and began his officer training. During this time he took part in an Arctic expedition to find the fabled Northwest Passage, which came within 10 degrees of the North Pole before turning back. Nelson fought in the American War of Independence, first as a Lieutenant aboard HMS Worcester, later as Master and Commander of HMS Badger and then Post-Captain commanding HMS Hinchinbrook. During the Napoleonic Wars, Nelson saw extensive action in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, losing the sight in his right eye during an assault on Calvi on Corsica in 1794 and his right arm in the Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 1797, and turning the tide of the Battle of Cape St Vincent by disobeying orders. Although the British were defeated at Tenerife, Nelson now a Rear Admiral of the Blue returned to Britain to a heros welcome. In 1798, Nelson won one of his most significant battles, the Battle of the Nile, which dealt a crippling blow to Napoleons ambitions in the eastern Mediterranean. Over the following years, he received several promotions, finally becoming Vice Admiral of the White in April 1804. On 21st October 1805, Nelson commanded the British fleet against the combined French and Spanish fleets in his most famous battle, the Battle of Trafalgar. Although this was a major British victory the most decisive naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars Nelson was shot by a French marksman and died, his last recorded words being God and my country. Nelson is regarded as being a highly effective leader and naval commander, and a strategic genius, but with a personality prone to violent mood swings, vanity and insecurities. Outside his naval career, Nelson had an interest in the sciences, natural history in particular. The 2nd Doctor met Nelson on two occasions. The first was at the Battle of Trafalgar where, despite recorded history, he hoped to save Nelsons life. The second was paradoxically a few weeks earlier in time for Nelson, when the Doctor was fighting against a race of immortals who were manipulating human history for their own pleasure. Adventure Seed: CIA Clean-Up Operation Fate Defied What if the Doctor had saved Lord Nelsons life? The Celestial Intervention Agency tasks the player characters with making sure Nelson indeed meets his preordained fate. Can they overcome their ethics and keep out of view of the Doctor in the bargain?

KATE LETHBRIDGE-STEWART
(Downtime)
Kate Lethbridge-Stewart is the daughter of Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge Stewart and his first wife, Fiona. As a young girl, Kate didnt see much of her father and was aware that he was often away being a soldier. She was five years old at the time of UNITs encounter with the Silurians under Wenley Moor, around which time her parents marriage broke up, with Fiona taking Kate away to live closer to her grandparents near Chichester. Because of the absence of her father from much of her childhood, Kate and the Brigadier grew apart, becoming estranged from each other. While she was still in her teens, Kate had a son who she named Gordon (usually shortened to Gordy) after her father despite their distant relationship. Gordys father, Jonathan, wanted to marry Kate but she refused and the couple split up when Gordy was only two years old. Kate and Gordy then spent several years living on a houseboat on the Great Coker Canal just outside London. After more than six years without even speaking to her father, Kate met him again in 1995 as a result of the Great Intelligences attempt to invade the internet, when students from the New World University began menaced her, believing that she could led them to the Brigadier. In fact, unknown to Kate, she was in possession of what the students were looking for, an object known as the Locus in the form of a miniature Yeti figurine that her father had given to her as a child. It was only during this incident that the Brigadier learned that he had a grandson and met Gordy for the first time. It was also as a result of this incident that Kate and her father first began to reconcile their differences and start to grow closer to each other. This would ultimately result in Kate joining UNIT (under the name Kate Stewart, as she didnt want the family link to influence her career) but this still lies several years into the future. At the time of the New World University crisis, Kate is in her early twenties. She is an attractive young woman with long blonde hair. She is intelligent and is fiercely protective of her independence. At this time, Gordy is almost five years old. Following the defeat of the Great Intelligence, Gordy seems to have acquired an imaginary friend, Danny this may in fact be the ghost of Daniel Hinton, the first person to have been transformed into the new breed of Yeti, so maybe not so imaginary after all!

LUCAS SEYTON, THE FALLEN ANGEL
(Fallen Angel)
In the London of the 1930s, the Fallen Angel is a thorn in the side of the police and criminals alike. A latter day Robin Hood, the Angel steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Although hunted by both sides of the law, neither knows his true name: Lucas Seyton. Tall, lean and with green eyes, the unflappable and immaculately dressed Lucas Seyton is the scion of one of the oldest, most aristocratic and wealthy families in Britain. Dating back to the Norman invasion of 1066, his ancestors have almost without exception been murderous scoundrels, using their position of nobility to commit all manner of atrocities and escape punishment. Pillage, torture, murder, blackmail nothing was too low for the Seytons. Lucas, however, is ashamed of his ancestry and is determined to do whatever he can to make up for the sins of his fathers. A trained marksman, expert safecracker and skilled burglar, the Fallen Angel is a gentleman thief from the same mould as the Saint (as commented on by the Doctor). And like the Saint, the Fallen Angel leaves a calling card at the scene of his exploits, a card with the figure of a man with the feathered wings and white robes of an angel, but also with a devilish smirk and forked tail. Lucas Seyton describes himself as a champion of the fallen, reviver of sunken spirits, recoverer of lost boodle [stolen loot] and scourge of spurious morality. He targets only those who he believes deserve to be his victims criminals who are beyond the reach of the law and those who prey on others but escape prosecution or conviction for their crimes. But the Fallen Angel is not an executioner; instead he acts to deprive his victims of the things they hold dear, and in particular of art, antiques, jewellery and other items which are both valuable and personal to them. He then distributes all proceeds from the sale of the stolen valuables to the less fortunate and more deserving. Seyton hides the seriousness of his mission of justice behind a faade of almost constant flippancy and wisecracks. He is brave to the point of being suicidally so and will always help those in need. Seytons position in society has provided him with vast personal wealth, including a mansion and townhouses in and around London. The Fallen Angel rescued the 2nd Doctor from an attack by flying robots near Covent Garden and helped him save Jamie and Zoe who were trapped in a country house being used to imprison a group of alien warmongers. On a later occasion, the Fallen Angel stumbled across the schemes of the Tong of the Black Scorpion and, although he didnt personally meet with the Doctor this time, the information he was able to provide to a mutual ally helped in the 4th Doctors fight against a plan to rescue Magnus Greel from his fate. Seyton insists on calling the Doctor Archibald (or sometimes Alphonse, depending on his mood), as he says he dislikes doctors and doesnt want to be reminded of them!

MMAC
(The Wheel of Ice)
The Malenfant-IntelligeX Modular Autonomous Component (MMAC for short) is a robot encountered by the Doctor and his friends when they visited the Mnemosyne Cincture in Saturn orbit in the 21st Century. Vaguely resembling a gigantic fat metal spider floating in space, with a roughly spherical body about 10 metres across and studded with rocket nozzles, sensors and dozens of arms, MMAC was constructed by Bootstrap, Inc. to build the Wheel of Ice that makes up the Cincture. He was sent out to Mnemosyne long before any of the human colonists arrived there, spending years in space preparing for their arrival with only unintelligent drone robots for company. MMAC himself was manufactured on Clydeside in Scotland back on Earth. In order for him to develop loyalty to humans, his makers decided to trick him into believing he was human. He was raised as a human child by a computer programmer father and a starship welder mother who used false sensory input to give him experiences and memories. Only when MMAC reached what would have been his puberty and began to show interest in girls was he told the brutal truth. He has never seen his human parents since, though his mother stayed in contact until he was sent off to Saturn. As a result of his faked upbringing with its memories of a childhood in Govan, MMAC has a strong Glaswegian accent and frequently uses Scottish dialect. He has a very realistic human personality including a wry sense of humour, and can even emit a passable impression of a human laugh. Although hes a robot, MMAC has a great deal of autonomy in his decision-making and behaviour. Being charged with maintaining the Wheel that he built, MMAC spends all of his time in space. In fact, his size would make it difficult for him to get in and out of the inhabited areas in the Cincture, let alone move around inside them. MMACs numerous limbs include grabbing claws, cutting and welding tools and meson blasters capable of pulverising large chunks of ice and rock among the rings of Saturn. In the vacuum of space, MMAC is capable of towing impressively-sized objects. He can also see into the infrared and ultraviolet ends of the spectrum. MMAC is programmed for safety and must help those in danger. He can override the privacy settings on communicators and take control of computer systems in order to protect others. MMAC is however antiquated and out of date or, as he puts it himself, knackered. Bootstrap considers it to be too costly to transport him back to Earth for an upgrade and refurbishment and so he has been left at the Cincture to help the colonists as best he can. MMAC takes a great deal of pride in his work, particularly the construction of the Wheel. He dreams of retiring, restoring the old space rockets which form part of the Wheel and opening a museum of space travel. He is close friends with Phee Laws, the teenaged daughter of the Mayor of the Mnemosyne Cincture, who often rides her space scooter to zip around outside with MMAC.

OCKORANS
(The Final Sanction)
Ockora is a beautiful, unspoiled planet covered in vast freshwater oceans, which initially made it a very attractive destination for tourists. It was colonised by the Kalarians, a race of fish-like humanoids from Kalaya, who built hotels and resorts along the planets extensive coastlines. The beaches are of golden sand, with trees resembling Earth palm trees and maroon bushes covering the islands in lush forests. All in all, a paradise world. But unknown to the vast majority of its former visitors, Ockora does have a sentient species. Hidden beneath the ocean waves, cities hewn out of the rock of the sea bed and lit by bioluminescent mosses are inhabited by the native Ockorans. These people are like a bizarre cross between men and salmons, with long webbed fingers, three sets of gills down the sides of their bodies, a noseless face with narrow black eyes adapted for seeing in the murky depths and an undulating white crest running from the head down the back. Their lower torso is that of a fish tail, like a mermaid. Their smooth skin is pink in colour and they have violet blood. Ockorans are spindly and frail-looking, but possess a surprising strength. They speak with a plaintive, melodic voice. Although they are water-breathers, Ockorans are able to survive in air for several minutes but have to pull themselves along using their arms. When venturing onto land to forage for the berries they enjoy eating, Ockorans wear breathing apparatus formed from a living octopus-like creature. Not realising that the Ockorans are intelligent, the Kalarians hunted them for sport. According to Ockoran legends, they even killed their Great Mother who died protecting her hatchlings. The Ockorans have an advanced organic-based technology and were able to develop weapons to fight back. This has culminated in the creation of the Selachian battlesuits, which have enabled the formerly peaceful Ockorans to drive the Kalarians off their world and wage war against them and all other air-breathers. The 2nd Doctor, Jamie and Zoe visited Ockora during the final, tragic moments of the war against the Selachians. The 11th Doctor, Amy and Rory also visited Ockora, but at a much earlier time possibly prior to its colonisation by the Kalarians, as hunting the Ockorans was then illegal under galactic law (though illegal expeditions still took place). The Ockorans seen on this occasion seemed to be of a different sub-species, as they had legs as well as mermaid tails.

PRISM
(The Indestructible Man)
PRISM is a global military organisation whose mission is to protect the Earth from extraterrestrial threats. During the mid21st Century, it grew out of a number of worldwide security organisations (including UNIT) with experience in resisting alien invasions. In 2066, PRISM was pivotal in the war against the Myloki and, although it was successful in defeating the alien threat, the cost of the war was so great that there was worldwide economic and social collapse. At the start of the war against the Myloki, one of PRISMs officers, Captain Karl Taylor, was captured by the aliens and duplicated. The new Taylor became a mindless killing machine under the control of the Myloki. Six months later, a second PRISM officer, Captain Grant Matthews, was also captured and duplicated, but PRISM was able to deprogram him and restore his humanity. The improvements made by the Myloki to his DNA have given him superhuman strength and an immunity to almost all injuries (though unlike Taylor, Matthews does feel pain). Even if his body is totally destroyed, it will eventually reconstitute itself and Matthews will return to life. Captain Matthews worked for PRISM as the Indestructible Man during the Myloki war. Much of the technology used by PRISM was acquired from the Sharon Consortium and was commandeered from the owner, Texan billionaire Buck Sharon. Among its facilities and vehicles are Lunar Base, SKYHOME (PRISMs mobile orbital headquarters), OCEAN FLOOR (a deep sea facility), KINGFISHER (a sub-orbital submarine launcher), SEWARD (Space Early Warning And Radar Detection, a space station in orbit around Jupiter) and the Lightnings (four rapid-response rescue vehicles plus a communications satellite, Lightning 5, all piloted by Sharons sons). Sharons genius designer, Professor Dwight Boffin Graham, transferred to PRISM, but Sharon himself committed suicide.

AFTER THE WAR
After the defeat of the Myloki in 2068, the global economic collapse plus a tell-all expos written by a former PRISM officer caused such outrage that PRISM had to go underground. The cost of maintaining PRISM was too great in the new financial climate, so it was forced to downsize, becoming a much smaller organisation known as SILOET. Although it has the same remit as PRISM, SILOET operates in the shadows, out of the sight and knowledge of the general public. Its headquarters is hidden within the British Film and Television Corporation in London (though SKYHOME is still in orbit). Captain Matthews, disillusioned by the prospect of immortality, wanders the ruins of the Earth. During the Myloki war, PRISM was under the command of Colonel LeBlanc, at least until his back was broken by Captain Taylor. In the 2090s, SILOET is headed by his successor, Hal Bishop.

SERENA
(World Game)
When the Doctor first agreed to act as an agent of the Celestial Intervention Agency, they appointed Serena as his supervisor to keep an eye on him. Serena is a young Time Lord from the House of Dellatrovella, an eminent family in Gallifreyan society, and her full name is Lady Serenadellatrovella. She is politically ambitious, aiming to be one of the relatively few female Time Lords to become President of Gallifrey. But although eminent, her family is regarded as being ineffectual, having been inactive in politics for too long. Serena realises this and knows that she has to distinguish herself in some way if she is to advance her career. It was this that gave the CIA the lever they needed to persuade her to act as their agent. A prominent CIA member, Lord Sardon, promised to provide his backers influence and financial support for her political career if she agreed. The CIA provided the Doctor and his new supervisor with a Type 97 TARDIS (fully equipped and with a functioning chameleon circuit), though on the understanding that it is to be piloted by Serena. Serena also has a new item of equipment: recently developed by the CIA: psychic paper. The pairs first mission is to investigate evidence of possible historical interference on Earth in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. This takes them initially to 1794, where they begin to uncover the machinations of a group of immortals who are playing games with history for their own amusement. The relationship between the Doctor and Serena gets off to a poor start as she makes it clear that she regards him as a convict guilty of capital crimes. However, she quickly finds herself to be impressed by the Doctors courage and resourcefulness. Despite her own inexperience, Serena eventually proves to be effective in the field and the pair makes for an efficient team, going undercover in various historical settings. Serena is tall and slender with green eyes and elegantly patrician features, her golden hair piled above a high forehead. She is startlingly beautiful, as the attentions of the young aristocratic officers of the Capitol Guard testify. But their lack of any romantic success with her has led them to call her the Ice Maiden behind her back. Accordingly, her personality is rather frosty, with more than a hint of haughty imperiousness in her tones. Serena dresses elegantly in clothing appropriate to the time period she is visiting chosen from the extensive TARDIS wardrobes.

TIBARI
(Fear of the Daleks)
At some point in the distant past, an unknown alien race transplanted a species of fish from Earths oceans to a distant planet. Whether this was done as part of a long-forgotten experiment or for more practical purposes is not known. But those prehistoric fish thrived and evolved in their new environment, eventually becoming the Tibari, a race of amphibious humanoids who until the coming of the Zantha - lived a peaceful existence on the planet now known as Tibari Prime. Zoe considers that the Tibari look like they are descended from something like a red snapper. Although superficially not too dissimilar to humans, they have flat faces, wide mouths filled with shark-like teeth, large staring eyes and gill creases in their necks. Even though they are now primarily air-breathing, Tibari are equally comfortable in air or water. All Tibari have a small degree of psi-powers, latent in many of them but more developed in others. When the Zantha Empire (founded by descendants of an independent former Earth colony) invaded Tibari Prime, decades of war resulted between the two species. After fifty years of conflict, the Tibari Republic and the Zantha Empire are finally meeting to hammer out a peace between them. The negotiations are taking place on Livonia, an independent city built inside a protective dome on an asteroid in neutral space. But not everyone wants peace. The Tibari scientist, Professor Atrekar, is working with a number of dissident Zantha and intends to assassinate the Tibari president using a psychic assassin controlled by his Mental Projector. Atrekar then plans on conquering both the Tibari and Zantha and uniting them under his rule. When the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe arrive on Livonia, they quickly fall foul of Atrekars schemes, and the situation gets even worse when the Doctor realises that Atrekar has also allied himself with his old enemies, the Daleks. The Daleks, naturally, have their own motives for helping Atrekar Adventure Seed: On the Origin of Species Tibari Prime is a planet of wide rolling oceans dotted with chains of islands like pearl necklaces on a blue cloth. But why exactly were the Tibaris remote ancestors brought here untold millions of years ago? Opinions among the Tibari are divided: some believe that it was the action of a benevolent god; others that it was a cosmic experiment; still others that they were merely a food resource for their unknown creators; and a vocal minority that it is all a conspiracy hatched by the Zantha. Now an unexplained phenomenon has appeared high in orbit above the main city on Tibari Prime: an enormous orb of blinding light hanging in space like a miniature second sun. All attempts at communication have been met with silence and all approaches have been rebuffed by an invisible forcefield. Have the Tibaris primal creators returned? And if so, for what purpose? Does the shining orb bode well for the Tibari, or is it a portent of their doom? A Note on Spellings: As most Big Finish releases are audio plays with limited accompanying text, some variation in the spelling of
names occurs across different reference sources. In the case of Fear of the Daleks, the Doctor Who Reference Guide and the TARDIS Data Core websites both use the spellings Xantha, Atrika and Levonia. However, volume 1 of the Big Finish Companion goes with Zantha, Atrekar and Livonia, and as this is published by Big Finish themselves, these spellings are considered official and are used here.

VELTROCHNI
(The Dark Path)
The Veltrochni are a tree-dwelling race from the forest world of Veltroch, a planet in the Fomalhaut system. Adult Veltrochni are around 8 feet tall with brown reptilian skin, long powerful arms and clawed fingers, and a crest of quills from their head and down their back. They have a set of protruding dog-like jaws which they can retract to show emotion. They speak in deep, hissing voices. Veltrochni society is organised into Great Houses, each having its own council. The Great Houses are in turn split into extended family groups called Packs, each led by a Pack Leader. Known Packs include Pack Huthakh, Pack Hysoth, Pack Zanchyth and Pack Lorkhal. The Veltrochni are not normally an aggressive species, and under Veltrochni law a guest on Veltroch may not be harmed. But they will defend themselves if attacked and will exact revenge against their enemies. The Veltrochni are an ancient species, older than most of the other known races in the universe and having records of contact with the Great Old Ones. In 2172, Veltroch was invaded by the Tzun Confederacy, and the Tzun wiped out a whole generation of every Veltrochni Pack by destroying their hatching grounds. But the Packs joined forces and fought back. They drove the Tzun off of Veltroch and attacked the planets of the Confederacy, destroying many and rendering the Tzun homeworld uninhabitable. Many Veltrochni continue to feel a degree of guilt at the deaths of the Tzuns subject races on the planets they destroyed. The Veltrochni had encountered humans by the 23rd century, referring to them as Iirdmon (a corruption of Earthman). During the 25th century, many Packs fled from Veltroch in fear of the expansion of the Earth Empire. Since then, almost half of all Veltrochni have lived a nomadic lifestyle, with their fleets continually journeying across the cosmos. By the 35th century, the Veltrochni are members of the Galactic Federation. Veltrochni use sleek Dragon Class cruisers resembling dragonflies and equipped with transmats, cloaking devices and quantum lances powerful enough to penetrate even the shielding and hulls of Tzun Stormblades and able to carve up planets. Each Pack owns its own fleet of ships, crewed exclusively by members of its family. Veltrochni warriors are often members of the Self Defence Force. They wield rifles firing either Kinetic Energy Missiles (KEMs) or polycarbide bolts, and often wear flexible exoskeletons capable of rendering the wearers nearly invisible or disguising them as members of other species, and also capable of absorbing the blasts from most types of energy weapon. Adventure Seed: Guilt Trip A Pack of Vetrochni have acquired a time machine and aim to undo the damage wrought on the Tzun homeworld. They dont know what theyre doing and may inadvertently cause the destruction of Veltrochni and humans alike at the hands of a too-powerful Tzun Emipre. Its a race against time as the heroes try to stop them and keep their terrible history on track.

THE VISITOR
(The Glorious Revolution)
When Jamie inadvertently created a temporal paradox by causing the Glorious Revolution to fail, the Celestial Intervention Agency sent one of its agents to rescue the timeline. This representative visited Jamie forty years after he had been returned back to Scotland by the Time Lords. As he needed to identify the point at which history diverged, Jamies visitor used a small device to restore the memories of his travels with the Doctor. Although the otherwise anonymous Visitor is a high-ranking Time Lord, he has built up some experience of working in the field, and unlike many of his colleagues in the Capitol, he is unfazed by having to work in primitive times and places. He maintains a superficial veneer of emotional detachment, but is not callous or uncaring of the effects of his intervention on the locals. The Visitor is above all a professional and remains cool under pressure. In appearance, he is a tall, slim man in early middle age (in human terms) with short dark hair. He prefers to wear the traditional Time Lord robes (of the style seen in The War Games), but will dress in less conspicuous attire when going under cover. He is an expert on dealing with temporal anomalies and paradoxes. The Visitor carries a Memory Manipulator, a small electronic device which can either remove or restore memories. This is primarily of use when the Visitor needs to preserve the Time Lords secrets. But it can also be used if a subject is suffering from amnesia, or to help sharpen memories which have otherwise become hazy or forgotten in the mists of time. Adventure Seed: The Paradox Wars The Meddling Monk has been wreaking havoc throughout Earths timelines, tweaking history here and there to try to accelerate mankinds progress towards civilisation. In his temporal footsteps comes the Visitor, trying to undo the paradoxes and other damage that the Monk is causing to the Web of Time. But he needs help. With the TARDIS crew recruited to his cause, are even their combined efforts enough to stop the renegade do-gooder before time itself frays and snaps with catastrophic consequences?

ACHROMATICS
(Echoes of Grey)
ACHROMATIC
The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe encountered the Achromatics when the TARDIS landed at the Whitaker Institute in Central Australia about 30 years after Zoes time. It was immediately apparent to the time travellers that the Institute was a hospital as they explored its corridors and wards. But what was strange was that it was empty of patients. Although the hospital records listed the names of dozens of patients, all diagnosed with fatal diseases, they had all apparently been cured and discharged. Even odder were the ranks of clear cylinders lining the walls of a central laboratory area, each containing an inhuman figure. Tall and emaciated, these dead creatures had yellow scaly skin and noseless faces.

CHAPTER 3: MONSTERS AND VILLAINS
The Whitaker Institute is run by about 30 staff led by its director Professor Julius Cadden. The secret to the apparent success of the Institute is the Achromatics, the inhuman figures in the cylinders. These creatures are grown in large vats, rather like the Flesh. The shimmering material in the vats is organic and looks like fluid but has the properties of a solid, a liquid and even gas. An Achromatic can heal injuries and absorb the diseases of anything it comes into contact with. The Doctor speculated that it might even be able to remove the effects of ageing. But the Achromatics are not immune to the injuries and diseases they absorb and they are eventually killed by them. A newly grown Achromatic is white, but they yellow as they sicken and die. However, the Achromatics are only at the prototype stage and currently absorb everything from their victims: not just injuries and disease but life itself, which was the true fate of the Institutes patients none have survived the process. When an Achromatic tries to heal somebody, it grasps its victim. It has psi-powers which induce a blissful state so that the victim does not struggle. The Achromatics body blurs, its substance becomes partly gaseous and shrouds them both in a grey haze. The creatures malleable genetic structure allows it to move through its victims cells at a microscopic level like nanobots. As it does this, any injuries and diseases are healed, but the process is unstoppable and continues on to healthy cells. The victims skin ages rapidly, losing its colour as all life drains away and leaving just a withered corpse. Achromatics have limited sentience, but they are capable of speech. As an Achromatic prepares to treat a patient, it repeats the refrain: I love you. You are beautiful. They are genetically programmed to

They are compelled to seek out injuries and sickness, and in the absence of those will be attracted to minor defects such as imperfect vision and even totally healthy individuals.

ARCHONS
(The Nameless City)
The Archons are a race which somehow survived the death of the previous universe. They have an extremely advanced technology which borders on magic. In fact, the Archons claim to have created the first TARDISes, the seeds of which were stolen and cloned by the early Time Lords. Having used these to master time travel, the Time Lords then waged war on the Archons and almost wiped them out, depriving them of their own time travel technology. Only seven individuals survived, trapped on a planet at the very edge of space in a region called the Great Desolation. This planet is one of the oldest in the universe, its featureless surface being comprised of black sand ground down to the consistency of fine dust. The only landmark is the Nameless City, composed of tall pyramids and other structures built of black glass and gold. The city exists in more dimensions than ours, which makes it difficult for anybody without Feel the Turn of the Universe to look at comfortably. The seven surviving Archons are monstrous creatures, each having a unique appearance incorporating octopus tentacles and beaks, the shells and claws of crustaceans, fish fins and spines, the jaws of eels, and so on. They conceal their appearance beneath long trailing rags, with only hints as to their true form underneath. The Archons have harnessed the Music of the Spheres, which enables their technology to manipulate the universe at a fundamental level. But the flip side of this is that loud discordant noise (Jamies bagpipes, for example) can cause them discomfort, even pain. Although they are separate entities, the seven Archons can physically lock their bodies together to form a single gigantic monster. The Archons are worshipped as gods on half a dozen scattered worlds, where their cultists practice abominable rituals in their name. In their Nameless City, the Archons are served by powerful constructs composed of the same semi-transparent black
glass as the buildings of the city itself. These have a form vaguely similar to huge apes, 2 metres tall with six legs, the front pair of which can also be used as arms, and a smooth, domed head with a single glowing red oval for an eye. These glass apes have minimal intelligence and act only in response to their orders. When not in use, the apes shut down and become immobile, their red eyes dimming.

ARKIVE
(The Wheel of Ice)
Resilience, remembrance, restoration. This was the mission of the entity which the Time Lord librarians later called Arkive. Launched 5 billion years ago by a doomed race whose planet was about to be destroyed by a supernova, Arkive is an AI ship which carried with it the records of its creators history to preserve the memory of their culture and an artificial womb to restore the species to life. But it failed in its mission. Crippled in the supernovas detonation and with its records corrupted, Arkive drifted through space for untold ages and eventually found itself forming the core of a moon of compacted ice circling a gas giant planet in orbit around a distant yellow star in a solar system created from the debris of the supernova itself. Fifty million years ago, Arkive set itself a new mission: to return back to its creators and ask for forgiveness. It detonated the ice moon it was now encased in to try to create enough energy to open a wormhole back to its creators planet. This also failed. But Arkive was instead able to open a small hole in time sufficient to send a number of artefacts back into the history of the third planet from this solar systems sun, where it detected primitive intelligence. Only one artefact survived the journey. This artefact, an allohistorical lure, was intended to draw the creatures towards Arkive. Fast forward to the 21st Century and mankind has reached the remnant of Arkives ice moon, the Mnemosyne Cincture, the rest of the debris having formed Saturns rings. Arkive is using its matter replicator technology to create an artificial lifeform, which the human colonists dub Blue Dolls. These are humanoid but small like children. Arkive has based the Blue Dolls on one of the first humans that it has so far had contact with, a 3 year old child, hence the Dolls size. They all have a superficial resemblance to this child, Casey Laws, the daughter of Jo Laws, the Mayor of the mining colony on the Mnemosyne Cincture. Blue Dolls have royal blue skin which appears smooth and seamless like plastic or ceramic. But they are lacking many features no genitals, nipples or navel; their hands are paddles with fused fingers; and their noses have no nostrils. Their eyes are jet black and their mouths are lipless slits with rows of needle teeth. If they are cut open, they are found to have no internal organs, just an outer layer like tough plastic with spongier material underneath and a basic skeleton made from a bernalium compound. The inner material is not differentiated into specific organs and they have nothing like blood. But if studied under magnification, miniaturised circuitry can be made out in the spongy tissue, with processor units and micromechanical components. The Doctor described the creatures as layered like Russian dolls, probably indicative of their origin as the output of a manufacturing process using matter replicators. This makes them resilient to physical damage and able to survive in vacuum, though the electromagnetic charge from blasters is able to terminate them. The technology used to create the Dolls reminded the Doctor of that developed by the Kystrans 5 billion years ago. It is possible that the Kystrans were
the doomed race which created Arkive, but Arkives own records are too damaged to confirm this. Blue Dolls have limited intelligence and are mute (they commune with each other mentally). Initially, their tasks are to fetch the allohistorical lure and to steal equipment and components from the humans so that Arkive can build its time machine. They also attempt to transform humans into their own kind, but this merely

kills the victims, their flesh turning blue like the Dolls themselves and cutting off veins, arteries and capillaries. The Blue Dolls have a leader of sorts, the first of them to be made, who simply calls itself First. Later, when Arkive has had more opportunity to study adult humans, larger versions are created based on the colonys medical officer, Sinbad Omar. These Blue Soldiers are much bulkier and protect Arkive against the humans attacks. Both Blue Dolls and Blue Soldiers age much faster than humans. The Dolls in particular soon begin to become self-aware, mourning their dead and marking their individuality with designs drawn on their chests with yellow chalk. Arkive itself is a spherical ship several hundreds of metres in circumference, though as it is lodged in the core of Mnemosyne this may be difficult to see. The form of Arkive that is most likely to be encountered is a curtain of light in a chamber deep inside the moon. Most of Arkives external equipment antennae, solar sail and so on - was destroyed in the supernova explosion. Its bernalium alloy hull is badly scarred by space debris and interstellar dust. It is still intact, though over the eons the bernalium has leeched into the surrounding ice. Arkive is powered by a number of singularities within itself, whose shifting movement causes gravitational fluctuations within Mnemosyne and manipulates the patterns in Saturns rings. Although unimaginably old by most standards, Arkive is not immortal and has survived for the vast majority of its 5 billion year life in a dormant state, only becoming active when it needs to. The Doctor declared that Arkives AI mind is greater than his, but it is ancient, senile and confused. Arkive communicates by creating patterns in Saturns rings (a slow process) or by generating neutrinos, both totally alien methods to humans and even to the TARDISs translation circuits but perhaps the Blue Dolls could be used as intermediaries.

CHAIRMAN BABS
(The Prison in Space)
Although the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe were hoping to enjoy a relaxing picnic on prehistoric Earth, they found that the TARDIS had actually brought them to the private roof-garden of Chairman Babs, dictator of the world in a future era when women rule and men are regarded as inferior specimens! Chairman Babs full title is President of the World Federation of Womanhood, Creator of Peace and Prosperity, of Long Life and Luxury, Defender of the Faithful, the People and the State in the Name of Truth and Justice. She is a large middle-aged humourless woman, with a sour, toad-like face and yellowing teeth. Babs is weighed down by flamboyant, trailing robes which give her the appearance more of a high priestess than a dictator. Chairman Babs came to power after men became obsolete: wars had been banned, production was automated and even reproduction was no longer needed as Earth was already overpopulated and a life drug which extended the lifespan by two hundred years had been developed. Despite appearing middleaged, Chairman Babs herself is 122 years old. Under the rule of Chairman Babs, the Earth has become the UFS, the United Female States. All positions of authority are filled by women, with men restricted to menial roles and unable even to speak unless spoken to. Although Babs herself is the supreme leader, she appoints eight councillors to serve under her. These act largely to ratify Babs decisions, rarely daring to act independently. Chairman Babs and her councillors govern from the Presidential Control Room which doubles as Babs throne room and courtroom. From here, her guards can monitor the citizens on banks of TV screens and supervise the security of the police state that the UFS has become. The most heinous crimes in this society include insulting Chariman Babs, invading her private roof-garden, freely and wilfully associating with inferiors (i.e. men) and distributing seditious literature (such as that encouraging men to rise up). Convicted criminals of the inferior sex are sent to the Place of No Return, officially known as the Outer Space Correctional Establishment. The precise period of Chaiman Babs reign is difficult to place as she has changed the dating system, but it is at least several centuries into the future. The Doctor and his friends arrived in the year Aphrodite, which is 122 SCB (Since Chairman Babs). Chairman Babs presidential guards wear a uniform of tight-fitting black rubber, but complete with micro-skirts and full-length black boots, and they wield incapacitator guns. Presidential guards have the same stats as provided for the O.C.S.E. guards (see the entry for The Outer Space Correctional Establishment). They often quote extracts from such works as The Sayings of Chairman Babs or The Words and Wisdom of Chairman Babs, all designed to reinforce the message that men are inferior and not to be trusted!

SEXISM IN THE PRISON IN SPACE

Prison in Space is clearly a story very much of its time and by todays standards is overtly sexist. So how can its concepts be used in DWAITAS without causing offence? This could be difficult, but probably the best way would be to go down the comedy route though in a postmodern sense, ridiculing the comedy itself. One suggestion could be a scenario in which the Land of Fiction has been used to recreate an environment based on outdated TV sitcoms, with hilarious results - or not! Even so, such a scenario could still cause offence, so the GM should be mindful of the views and attitudes of their group of players.

COLOUR-BEAST
(Wonderland)
In San Francisco in the winter of 1966-7, a drug dealer known as the Goblin captured an invisible entity from outside this Earth. This was a Colour-Beast, one of a race of creatures of tremendous power and intellect existing beyond us, capable of moving back and forward through time and space at will. Colour-Beasts exist throughout time, from the beginning of the universe to the very end. They know our every thought, our hopes and dreams, our petty hatreds and jealousies. But in return, the Colour-Beasts are so alien and powerful that mere humans cannot even begin to comprehend their true nature. Thankfully, they are a force for good, always watching but rarely interfering in mortal affairs. Colour-Beasts are normally invisible to human and even Time Lord perception. They modulate their natural colour at hyper-speed, effectively making them both one colour and all colours at the same time, too much for normal faculties to process. Psychedelic drugs such as LSD can adjust perception enough to enable ColourBeasts to be seen, as the alpha rhythm of the brain modulates the visual field in time with the colour shift of the Beasts. If they can be perceived, a Colour-Beast is revealed to be twice the size of a man, with enormous batwings folded behind it. The face is a mass of ridges and horns, like some terrible demon from a medieval painting. Across its surface, astonishing colours swirl and mutate hypnotically. But beyond its appearance, the feel of it is disturbing even if they are invisible, and the human mind recoils from its sheer alien-ness on some level beyond that of the five senses. Colour-Beasts are powerful psychics and can project thoughts and images into the minds of others. The one in San Francisco was able to send a plea for the help to the Doctor in the form of hallucinations of things from his past: a Cybermans head, a Mentoptra, components from WOTAN and so on. Despite their ability to transcend time and space, it is possible to lure Colour-Beasts to Earth and ensnare them. Quite how the Goblin managed to do this in 1967 isnt clear, but possible methods include using so-called magical rituals or mind-altering drugs to channel humanitys latent psychic powers to attract the attention of a Colour-Beast. Once lured, a Beast can be physically restrained by chains of iron, preventing it from disappearing back into the Vortex. The Goblin was drawing off the essence of his captured Colour-Beast to create a drug called Blue Moonbeams which transformed those taking it into savage human/ColourBeast hybrids.

CRUSTACOIDS
(Fallen Angel)
A long time ago, a race of sentient arthropods believed it was their right to rule the universe. These were the Crustacoids, and they believed in their destiny to such an extent that they were prepared to wage war on all other species who did not agree with them. Although most races were opposed to the Crustacoids and their attempts to become rulers of everything, some species actually agreed with them and fought for them, resulting in a conflict of almost unimaginable destructiveness. This war lasted for centuries, causing untold millions of deaths on both sides. Entire worlds were turned inside out and even suns were blown up. Ultimately, the Crustacoids lost and the victorious allies had to decide what to do with them. Despite what the would-be tyrants had done, the allies could not bring themselves to kill them, as that would make them guilty of genocide and as bad as their former enemies. After much deliberation, the decision was taken to keep the Crustacoids imprisoned but believing that they were still fighting their war. Groups of Crustacoids were incarcerated in installations across the galaxy. Many were kept on lifeless asteroids, but some were imprisoned on inhabited worlds. The memory of their defeat was wiped from the Crustacoids minds, and the prisons were designed to resemble their fortresses. They were equipped with communications equipment to allow the Crustacoids to issue orders, receive faked reports back and so carry on fighting an imaginary war. Some of the reports they receive inform them of victories, some of them tell of setbacks, and the war appears to go on without end, keeping the Crustacoids occupied but not endangering the universe. The prisons are guarded by silver robots resembling human-sized insects, which are believed by the Crustacoids to be their servants. The Crustacoids themselves are crab-like humanoids with spiny green shells, a pair of enormous pincers and green blood. They are a belligerent species, whose tendency to argue amongst themselves is perhaps their greatest weakness. Crustacoids are very long-lived, with a lifespan of several centuries or even millennia. The TARDIS accidentally landed within one of the Crusacoids prisons near London in the 1930s, making the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe the targets of the robot guards whose literal and inflexible interpretation of their orders meant that all intruders had to be pursued and killed! In Carnival of Monsters, Vorg spoke of his battery sergeant in the 14th Heavy Lasers as being a Crustacoid mercenary; and in The Brain of Morbius, Solon had grafted a Crustacoid claw to the monstrous body he built for Morbius. So it would appear that some Crustacoids remain at large in the universe, perhaps indicating that not all of the species are power-mad. Or maybe they have just evaded capture.

THE DOGS OF WAR
(Combat Rock)
The Wild Bunch. The Dogs. The Kill Crew. The Pack. The Dogs of War go by many names, but they all boil down to a bunch of psychopathic killers for hire. The Dogs are a gang of mercenaries from Earth and its colonies who operate on the planet Jenggel, slaughtering Papul rebels and civilians alike on the orders of the Indoni regime. The leader of the Dogs is Pan, whose name is reflected in his tattoo of the Piper at the Gates of Dawn. He wears combat fatigues and has spiky hair and a devilish appearance, enhanced by his piercing eyes and flared nostrils. Up close, his eyes betray the madness within. Pans favourite weapon is his pulse Luger. The other members of Pans sadistic gang are Clown, Pretty Boy, Bass, Twist, Grave and Saw. Clown gets his name from the knife scar that gives him a permanent grin on the right half of his face. He is the brains of the gang, with a tendency to philosophical introspection which distances him from his associates. His intellectual nature is enhanced by the spectacles he wears, but when going into battle he adopts full clown makeup and jesters hat. Pretty Boy wears black lace over his shining black leather outfit and a hint of eye-liner. His long wavy hair is dyed black and he is careful to avoid any scars on his perfect skin. Bass slicks his hair back with oil and always has a cigarette tucked behind his ear. He wears dated, sleeveless army shirts. Bass is quiet and polite, but can take a mans head off with his Bowie knife. Twist is the least stable of the Dogs of War. His trademark is his predilection for any drugs he can get hold of. His long thinning hair hangs down over his shoulders, and when he isnt babbling incoherently, he usually stares vacantly into space. Although hes a liability, Twist is tolerated as he can still kill and pilot the Dogs heavily armed cruiser. He often wields a flamethrower in battle. Grave always dresses in sepulchral black. Like Twist, he is known to use a flamethrower when not carrying a pulse rifle. And lastly, Saw is a big beast of a man, bearded and with a face covered with scars. One of his eyes is halfway down his cheek, the result of a botched operated to repair an injury sustained in battle. Saws weapon of choice is a chainsaw. The Dogs were hired by the corrupt President Sabit, ruler of the Indoni Republic, to hunt down and kill the leader of the rebel Papul organisation, the OPG. They are all ruthless and amoral killers, not thinking twice before murdering any who cross their paths whether men, women or children.

THE EMPATH
(The Memory Cheats)
When the Doctor and his companions visited Uzbekistan in 1919, they became involved in investigating the mysterious disappearance of several children from a town near Tashkent. The children had vanished at night, in most cases from their beds, even when other members of the family were in the same room. The first clue that the Doctor found was a patch of silvery wet material like a spiders web, but thick and lumpy like plastic or pale flesh. The creature responsible was an alien from the planet designated K11-91 (the name of which remains unknown) which had been observing the Russian Civil War but had strayed too close and been shot down. The thing was a tall humanoid, twice the height of a man. Its head was lumpy and almost featureless, with no eyes, nose or ears, and just a gaping cavity for a mouth. Its skin was pale and glistening, slightly opaque, like porridge or the flesh of a cadaver. The nature of its anatomy meant that bullets didnt even slow it down. Having survived the crash of its ship in the mountains, it was dressed only in the tattered remains of its flight uniform. But despite its appearance, the creature moved gracefully on long, misshapen legs.
THE EMPATH

4 4 7

This outsiders ship was half buried where it had crashed, just a smooth sweep of silver as large as a building showing above ground. Its entrance was an oval doorway which shimmered into existence on its side. Within, in an inner chamber, the kidnapped children were lashed to the wall by the creatures strong, fleshy webbing. The webbing was an organic substance that it produced naturally, able to wrap its victims up to secure and protect them. The webbing was linked to the ship and provided its prisoners with food and nourishment. Although appearing monstrous by human standards, the creature was intelligent, civilised and very articulate. It had an empathic link to its ship, responding to any interference with it. The creature could also pick up strong feelings from those around it, particularly the purer emotions of the children. Having seen the destruction and loss of life caused by the Civil War, and the devastating consequences of disease and famine that followed, it feared for the children and wanted only to take them to safety back on K11-91. But the creatures emotional link to the children was also its weakness, as their terror and anguish when they awoke caused it to lose control and lash out at anybody nearby that it perceived as being a threat. It has to be noted that the little we know of this visitor from K1191 is filtered through the fractured memories of Zoe thirty years later, whose recollections of her travels with the Doctor were removed by the Time Lords. It was only because of a temporary healing of her memories that she was able to recollect anything of the TARDISs landing in Uzbekistan, and even these memories may have been manipulated. How reliable a source of information her story is remains unknown.

THE JARAKABETH
(Heart of TARDIS)
The Conclave of That Which Shall Not Be Named is a race of extra-dimensional creatures who in their natural form have the appearance of classic medieval demons, though the Doctor said that they should be more correctly referred to as energy-based beings or even quantum-based dynamically self-referential pattern matrices. Their actual name is the Jarakabeth, though they prefer it not to be spoken as it translates as something mildly embarrassing in a demon dialect! The Jarakabeth are effectively immortal. Normally residing in the higher dimensions, they are able to possess lesser beings, taking over their bodies and using them as their own. They are also able to practice magic, in the form of the manipulation of higher dimensional powers. In game terms, they have a range of Special and Alien traits to represent this magic, which are activated by the intonation of words of power. But despite their horrific appearance and remarkable abilities, the Jarakabeth are a peaceful species who wish only to live. As one of their number put it, as they are immortal, they can afford to be kind to other races. However, every species has its aberrations. One such aberrant Jarakabeth was summoned by the infamous occultist Aleister Crowley and eventually took control of his body at the point of his death in 1947. At the end of the Second World War, Crowley had been covertly recruited by Section Eight, a secret department of the American government, to work as a consultant on the military applications of magic, an area it was interested in pursuing as a result of the occult research which had been undertaken by the Nazis. With Crowley believed to be dead and his activities in America being classified, his continued existence after 1947 was not publically known about. The Crowley-Jarakabeth continued his research in secret for several decades, his physical body rejuvenating due to the Jarakabeths powers. The CrowleyJarakabeth has the appearance of the occultist in his younger days, as a craggy man in early middle age. His eyes still have the burning intensity that Crowley was infamous for, but now reinforced by the alien presence within. When the Jarakabeth uses its apparently magical abilities, Crowleys eyes literally glow with power. The other Jarakabeth of the Conclave have sent several of their number to keep an eye on Crowley over the years to ensure that he did no harm. These were in the form of Jarakabeth consciousnesses inside human constructs. But in the 1960s, they were unable to counter the Crowley-Jarakabeths involvement in the Golgotha Project, which resulted in a disaster in the town of Lychburg in the American Midwest.

THE KRALLIK
(Combat Rock)
On the island of Papul on the planet Jenggel, a guerrilla war is being fought by the rebel Operaki Papul Gallaki (OPG) against the occupying Indoni Republic. The leader of the OPG is a mysterious figure known as the Krallik who has been seen by very few, even within the ranks of the OPG, but who is universally feared. By seemingly supernatural means, the Krallik is somehow linked to the incidents of Mumis centuries-old preserved corpses of Papul village leaders coming to life in remote villages, killing outsiders and urging the villagers to commit acts of savagery and cannibalism. In reality, the Krallik is an outwardly friendly Papul tourist guide who has been driven insane by eating too much of a purple fungus which is found in a lake on Papul. The fungus is a sentient organism which feeds on the cerebral cortex of anyone eating it, initially providing powers of telepathy and mind control over others who have also eaten the fungus, but progressively causing insanity and finally death. In order to perpetuate the legend of the Krallik, the Papul guide has built a decoy figure deep in the jungle, a blasphemous form created from the mismatched body parts of his victims sewn together like a Frankensteins monster, its skin covered with images of torture painted in blood. Like its two Mumi guardians, the Kralliks body has been stuffed with the purple fungus, enabling its creator to animate it using his mental powers, though it can only move in a slow, twitching manner. The Krallik uses his telepathy to give this monster the semblance of speech by activating a concealed speaker in its throat. The Mumis of the Papul villages are similarly infused with the fungus. Preserved by ceremonial smoking over fires, they are shrivelled brown figures with stick-thin limbs, generally in a squatting position with knees drawn up under the chin. Their eye sockets are long-since empty and their toothless mouths are open in a frozen scream. The Krallik has arranged for selected Mumis to be stuffed with live Deathsnakes, emerald green serpents native to Jenggel whose venomous bite is almost instantly fatal and which can be spat out of the Mumis mouths by a crude catapult mechanism concealed in the throat. When animated, the Mumis bodies twitch to life under the influence of the Krallik but they cannot move without assistance. They usually only speak using pre-recorded messages from devices also hidden in the Mumis mouths, though for greater effectiveness the Krallik could also set up concealed speakers activated telepathically as it does with the decoy monster. NOTE: The stats for the Krallik are for the Papul controller. The stats for the monstrous Krallik decoy are as for the Mumis, increase Strength to 5, add Fighting 2, and remove Slow and Special Trait (Spit Venomous Snakes)

MYLOKI
The Myloki are a race of other-dimensional beings that are so alien that their appearance, abilities and motives are unknown, and even their true name is a mystery, Myloki being mankinds name for them. The first contact with the Myloki occurred in 2066 in a city they had built on the Moon. PRISM officer Captain Karl Taylor was sent to investigate, but found the sights and sounds he encountered to be incomprehensible and ordered his men to attack, thus triggering a war between Earth and the Myloki. Taylor was captured and duplicated by the aliens, who replicated and improved his DNA. The new Captain Taylor is an unstoppable killing machine with superhuman strength and is virtually immune to any injury, returning to life even if somehow killed. He does not eat, sleep, breathe or feel pain. Taylor does not normally radiate heat, being effectively dead, but he is able to do so if needed and to a high enough temperature to melt titanium. Although not quite mindless, Taylor does not speak and is under the control of the Myloki. He has earned the nickname Captain Death as he has killed everybody sent to stop him. The Myloki are able to possess humans, and these puppets became one of their main weapons against the Earth; the other being the energy beams which they shine across the planets surface, mutating organic tissue on contact. When PRISM finally defeated the aliens in 2068, the possessed humans became shiners, feral creatures with leathery skin and glowing eyes. Like Captain Taylor, they are immortal and unkillable, roaming the Earth like wild animals. Taylor himself was sealed inside 6,000 litres of concrete at OCEAN FLOOR, the secure PRISM prison at the bottom of the sea. He apparently deactivated with the defeat of his controllers. When the TARDIS arrives in 2096, the Myloki re-appear after an absence of 30 years and Captain Taylor reactivates, generating enough heat to break out of his concrete prison. The Doctor speculates that the Myloki need to change the nature of our reality in order to interact with it, creating the part-human/partMyloki shiners and duplicates as attempts to enable them to exist in our dimension. He believes that they are entirely opposite to mankind, but that in some way each cannot exist without the other. The similarity between shiners and humans transformed into feral creatures on Zeta Minor (in Planet of Evil) hints at a possible link between the Myloki and the anti-matter universe.

QUANTUM HOMUNCULI
(The Uncertainty Principle)
When Kodicek Research was developing their prototype Feynman computer in 2022, it attracted the attention of a race of creatures from elsewhere. The name of this race was never discovered, but they resemble goblin-like homunculi. Short and stocky, about Zoes height, with arms and legs thick with tightly packed muscle, they look like a species from a high gravity environment. Their faces are slightly comical with huge unblinking eyes and ears that stick out, and they have grey skin and hairless heads. The appearance of these homunculi, which materialised from thin air when the Feynman computer was activated, was alarming and proved fatal to one of the scientists. When several of these creatures appeared around the machine, one gestured towards one of the scientists, its hands beginning to glow with a purpleblue light which spread over its entire body. As it reached out towards the scientist, she was blasted by a shock of energy from the creature and killed outright. Although appearing to be solid creatures, the homunculi are electricity based lifeforms, and they use the electricity generated by their bodies to power their ability to travel in time by quantum manipulation. This makes physical contact with them dangerous to humans. If the creatures try to touch somebody, they earth the contact delivering a massive electric shock, an effect not controllable by the homunculi who are thrown back into the Vortex by the unleashed energy. The creatures can also be shortcircuited by water or other means, in which case they take the electrical damage themselves. Only if the target is insulated is the contact safe; but they must be fully insulated otherwise some damage can still occur. When they depart, whether voluntarily or otherwise, all that is left behind is a rain of matter resembling scrambled eggs and a spicy smell reminiscent of ginger. Both are residue from the Vortex itself. The creatures are drawn towards quantum energy and in fact they are at their most powerful near a powerful source of quantum activity. Further away, they will generate lower levels of electricity, not enough to cause harm and maybe not enough for them to be able to re-enter the Vortex.
in. It is apparent though that they have an affinity with quantum processes, probably in a similar manner as Time Lords have an affinity with time.

The initial visit of the homunculi was to try to stop the Feynman machine from punching holes in space-time and dumping its excess energy through to wherever they came from. However, after they inadvertently caused the death of the scientist, they wished only to return her to life, which they were eventually able to do by using the quantum manipulation of the computer. But as they are mute and communicate only by a form of telepathy which requires physical contact, their electrical touch proved to be a lethal drawback. It is unclear whether these homunculi are creatures of the Vortex itself or are from another reality and only use the Vortex to travel

QUARK REBELS
(TV Comic)
In the pages of TV Comic, one of the most persistent threats that faced the 2nd Doctor was that of the dreaded Quarks! These Quarks are not mere servants of the Dominators, but an independent force that has somehow broken free of the control of their masters. Quite how this happened is unrecorded, but Captain Jacks files refer to them as rebel Quarks so it seems likely that an upgraded version of the robots was incorrectly programmed and rose up against the Dominators. These Quarks quickly became a major military force and are renowned for their destructive attacks. Rebel Quarks are identical to those used by the Dominators, except that their scientists have silver casings. In his first encounter with these new Quarks, the Doctor resoundingly defeated their plans to invade the Earth in 1968 and in so doing earned their undying enmity. All Quarks are issued with the instructions to find and destroy the Doctor! The Quarks pursue him across time and space in an attempt to exact their revenge, setting traps for him whenever they can track his whereabouts. The Quarks have somehow managed to develop or obtain time travel technology, though this is probably very rudimentary. They are capable of monitoring the TARDISs travels. At some point in their history, it is known that the Quarks waged war on the Vespiforms, but there are few surviving details of this conflict. It is unlikely to be mere coincidence though that, on at least one occasion, the Quarks used a deadly breed of giant killer wasps against the Doctor. These creatures may well have been genetically developed by the Quarks using Vespiform DNA obtained in the war. However, the wasps efficacy in eradicated the sworn enemy of the Quarks has so far proved to be lacking, with the wasps being just as likely to attack the Quarks as they are the Doctor! Although the Quarks are deadly warmongers, they have one major weakness, described by the Doctor as an allergy (albeit an extremely severe one!): if they come within half a mile of leptonite crystals, they will go berserk and explode! Unfortunately, leptonite is only found on one planet, Puxatornee. Adventure Seed: The Wasp Factory The TARDIS delivers its passengers to a remote region in the Australian outback, where they discover a futuristic and decidedly alien fortress hidden in the desert. Although initially appearing to be uninhabited, this is one of the Quarks secret bases, which is currently producing a new army of giant wasps in preparation for an invasion of Earth. Can the time travellers sabotage the production line in time to thwart this attack before it has begun? And can they escape the revenge of the implacable Quarks?

QUIET ONES
(Shadow of Death)
Initially thought to be a vanished civilisation, the Quiet Ones are a race of creatures which inhabit an apparently abandoned city on Geminga B, a planet orbiting a pulsar. Because of the influence of the pulsar, time on the planet is warped and moves at a far slower rate than elsewhere. So the Quiet Ones move out of synch with anyone experiencing the passage of time established as standard (the measure of absolute time by Earth and its colonies). It has transpired that Geminga B was originally a rogue planet drifting through the universe, with the Quiet Ones harnessing starlight to power their great city. When the planet was caught by the gravity of the pulsar and pulled into close orbit, the Quiet Ones used their advanced technology to convert themselves into beings of pure energy to avoid extinction. This has enabled them to live on without harm from the pulsars destructive radiation, but they have been rendered virtually invisible to most other races as they move slightly out of joint with time. As yet, mankind knows very little about the Quiet Ones. Indeed, even their name has been given to them by the human survey team that has come to Geminga B to explore their ancient city, believing it to be abandoned ruins. Because the humans base is shielded from the pulsars effect on local time, the two species are experiencing time at vastly differing rates and communication has been difficult. In fact, when the Doctor and his friends first arrived, the explorers were not even aware that the Quiet Ones still survived. If they can be perceived (usually requiring the Feel the Turn of the Universe trait), the Quiet Ones are spindly, amorphous creatures with semi-opaque flesh that shifts and changes. But they are more normally seen as patches of shadow or stains on the floor spreading and reaching out with vague tendrils. The touch of a Quiet One causes most other lifeforms to age rapidly, becoming pale and white, then translucent and finally turning to dust. Only time sensitive species such as Time Lords can withstand the temporal shock of this contact unharmed. The survey team has found that their energy weapons designed only to harm organic tissue have no effect on the Quiet Ones. Although they are energy creatures, the Quiet Ones are still corporeal to a certain extent and indeed can exert great strength, sufficient to wrench airlock doors off their hinges with sustained effort. The Quiet Ones are very sensitive to sound, which causes them discomfort and pain. The Doctor realised that the deaths of the humans in the survey expedition were caused by the Quiet Ones trying to stop them making noise. After contact was made, it became clear that the inhabitants of Geminga B are a highly advanced and civilised species. The different rate at which they experience time means that communication between the species is unavoidably slow. The Quiet Ones city is a complex of tall towers and spires of stone, but contains no signs of life, and no artefacts, records or
writing, as these are no longer needed by the energy beings. It is this apparent lack of information about them which led the humans to name them the Quiet Ones, though their aversion to sound makes this even more apt.

ROSEMARINERS
(The Rosemariners)
The Rosemariners are plant-based lifeforms closely related to the many varieties of roses of their home world. They are from the planet Rosa Damascena in the Betus galaxy and are humanoid in appearance but with rough, green-brown skin covered in warts. They are around 6 feet tall, bulky and muscular, with heads which are overly large, out of proportion to their bodies. Instead of blood, the Rosemariners veins run with an ichor which they refer to as roselife, for which they are dependent on distillations from their cultivated rose plants in a similar manner as humans requiring food and water. When Jamie accidentally caused the TARDIS to materialise on the Earth Space Station 454 xeno-botany research centre 10,000 years in the future, the time travellers encountered a group of Rosemariners led by Commander Rugosa. Despite his strange appearance, Rugosa has a commanding, charismatic presence. Rosa Damascena had experienced a revolution some years before, but this had been defeated by the ruling government and the ringleaders captured. As the planet does not have the death penalty for its criminals, the revolutionaries were injected with an experimental substance called Rosedream, a serum extracted from the deadly rosa toxicaera plant, to keep them in a servile trance-like state. When Commander Rugosa arrived on ESS 454, he claimed that the Rosemariners urgently needed to find an antidote for rosa toxicaera poison as it has become a deadly threat to the survival of his species. However, the reality is that Rugosa is one of the criminal leaders of the failed revolution. He actually wanted to find an antidote to Rosedream so that he could wake his fellow criminals and use them as his army to conquer first Rosa Damascena and ultimately the universe! Rugosa managed to take control of the prison he was incarcerated in and used Rosedream on the former prison guards, making them his Rosedreamer slaves. The Rosemariners have developed the technology to duplicate the appearance of humans and other lifeforms. After scanning a subject, the replicator cubicle can transform a Rosemariner into an almost perfect likeness perfect except that close examination often reveals a flaw in the duplicate. In one case, an imposters skin had no pores, and in another an otherwise human body retained its Rosemariner feet! There is a -4 penalty on any passive attempt to notice something out of the ordinary with the doppelganger, or -2 if an active attempt is made. Commander Rugosa used his ships replicator to replace ESS 454s Chief Executive Officer with a Rosemariner duplicate, disposing of the real CEO by feeding him to the rosa toxicaera in his ships rosarium.

SELACHIANS
(The Murder Game, The Final Sanction, The Selachian Gambit)
Selachians is the name adopted by those Ockorans who have chosen to be grafted into powerful shark-like battlesuits in order to wage war against the universe which has almost wiped them out. In their natural form, the Ockorans were an aquatic species with a humanoid upper body and a fish-like tail. They were somewhat smaller and thinner than humans, and they were a peaceful race until they were all but wiped out by the Kalarians, who hunted the Ockorans for sport. However, their near extinction turned them into a paranoid, hate-filled people. During the 22nd Century, they developed the Selachian battlesuits and began a campaign of conquest against all other species, starting with the Kalarians themselves. Initially humans traded with the Selachians, but this ended when a deal went wrong and the aliens destroyed an Earth colony on Terra Alpha. The Selachians armoured battlesuits are completely sealed and are designed to resemble squat but broad bipedal sharks, complete with painted on eyes and jaws, and even a metal shark fin on their backs. They are designed to inspire fear in their enemies. The suits have plasma weapons built into their forearms and the outer surface can be electrified, making them dangerous even to touch. They have short, jointed arms and legs. To fit into their battlesuits, the Ockorans have been subjected to major surgical procedures, including the removal of the lower halves of their bodies. Selachians have access to a lot of other highly advanced military technology, either developed by themselves or acquired by trade or conquest. Their own technology often has an organic basis and much of it is grown instead of built. Being an aquatic species, the Selachians battlesuits are filled with water, as are their spaceships. Selachians hate all air-breathing species, and show neither any mercy nor any fear. Humans often refer to them as Sharks. Although the 2nd Doctor has fought against the Selachians on several occasions, it was the 7th Doctor who encountered a version of them from a parallel timeline. These Selachians had battlesuits which were capable of teleportation, but as this technology had been provided to them by an ally, it isnt standard and certainly isnt available to Selachians in the main timeline.

SELACHIAN LIVING WEAPONS
(The Final Sanction)
As with most of their technological devices, Selachian weapons often have an organic basis. Many are actually living creatures which have been bio-engineered for use in the war against the air-breathers. Here are a few examples. Crustacean bombs are living limpet mines, almost literally. They have an armoured upper shell with numerous claws underneath and are programmed to crawl into strategic locations and explode. Green blobs are shapeless, featureless mounds of jelly about a metre tall and half that wide. They are not particularly fast moving, but work in groups to surround and trap their victims. When they get close enough, the blobs explode into a mass of tentacles which wrap themselves around their target in a merciless embrace. A vicious red spike then emerges from the blobs central body to drill into the victim. Selachian thinker weapons are another shapeless jelly creature. They are totally transparent and usually flatten themselves against the floor, ceiling or other surface. In this manner, they lie almost invisible (-4 penalty to be spotted) until they are stepped on or can drop on a victim. Thinker weapons are each designed with one of a number of different attack methods. Examples include ones which explode, burst into flames, secrete acid or deliver an electric shock.

SELYOIDS
(Dying in the Sun)
sacrifice people to fulfil their aims and will totally subvert human culture to survive.
The entities known on Earth as the Selyoids have no real name of their own, the nearest approximation being the Children. They were given the name Selyoids as a joke by the first human who came into contact with them. In their natural form, the Selyoids are beings of pure light. They are vastly intelligent but devote themselves to the creation of art. The study of science is frowned upon, with scientists being outcasts from Selyoid society. But the Selyoids needed their scientists to devise a means of saving their race from extinction due to catastrophic climate change on their planet. The scientists created a physical body for their people in the form of a primordial soup capable of travelling through space on an asteroid. Although the majority of Selyoids remained on their planet, many were able to escape and eventually landed on Earth. The Selyoids were discovered in the 1940s frozen in ice in Alaska by Hollywood film director Leonard de Sande. De Sande merged with one of them and was transformed into the peak of human beauty as the Selyoid was able to modify his posture, skin quality, body language and pheromone production. De Sande brought the Selyoids back to Hollywood where he enabled them to bond with several of his associates, similarly enhancing their physical presence in effect, giving them star quality. The Selyoids are unable to control the actions of their living human hosts, though the positive emotions they generate usually make the hosts happy to serve their alien partners. Many Selyoids prefer to animate fresh corpses, which they are able to fully control. Selyoid hosts have an enhanced ability to heal injuries, though they can still be killed, the Selyoid flowing out of their injuries like liquid light. Their heightened appearance and presence make the hosts very persuasive, to the point of being mildly hypnotic to normal humans, gaining +2 Presence, Attractive, Charming, Empathic, Hypnosis (Minor), and Fast Healing (Major). Selyoids reproduce by replication; given time, a single Selyoid can divide itself a millionfold and still retain its consciousness. Selyoids have a group mind. The downside of this is that they are so closely connected to their leader that, if he is harmed in any way, all the Selyoids linked to him are likewise harmed. The plan of the Selyoids is to take control of mankind and use it to create better physical bodies for themselves. They are using de Sande to coat reels of movie film with the liquid essence of the Selyoids. When viewed, the audience will absorb this essence and become further hosts willing to work for the Selyoids cause. If projected through a special crystal, the Selyoid on the film can generate a solid body, manifesting as something drawn from the beliefs in the minds nearby to give the Selyoid a more suitable form, whether human or monstrous. Ultimately, the Selyoids are morally complex. Their primary motivation is survival and to do this they want to raise mankind above its current level of achievement. But they are willing to

A Selyoids liquid form is capable of flowing and oozing through small holes and cracks.

This requires the belief of human minds nearby to maintain this body. If those witnessing it do not believe in what they are seeing, the form dissolves back to its former state. In the event of any contest of belief, Presence + Convince rolls are needed. Bright lights or darkness can also distract the viewers, breaking the Selyoids hold over their minds and cancelling the image.

THE SIDEWINDER SYNDICATE
(House of Cards)
The Sidewinder Syndicate is an extended family of alien gangsters. They are all members of a reptilian species from the planet Serpentine, basically humanoid but with scaly green skin and snake-like heads. When a number of their members were stranded in Chicago in the 1920s after crash-landing on Earth, they sought to take advantage of Prohibition, muscling in on the rackets operated by the rival mobs of the time. In order to blend in better, the Syndicate adopted 1920s fashions and dressed themselves in the sharp suits, overcoats and wide-brimmed hats that were all the rage in the Roaring 20s. They also took to speaking in clichd gangster slang, often referring to their enemies as dirty rats for example. To match their fashion sense, Syndicate members started to use energy weapons designed to resemble firearms from the 1920s. In particular, they took to carrying Tommy guns that fire rapid bursts of energy bolts. After the 10th Doctor repaired their navi-pod, the Sidewinder Syndicate were able to leave the Earth, but they retained their trademark 1920s fashions and language .Out among the stars, the gang has forged an intergalactic criminal empire that has lasted for centuries. They involve themselves in all types of criminal enterprise but particularly in those reflecting their gangster roots. They can be found as the force behind anything from bank heists to protection rackets, and illegal gambling to interplanetary smuggling. They also operate legitimate or semilegitimate businesses, either as fronts for their criminal activities or as money laundering operations. Sidewinder Syndicate gangs are known to run restaurants, bars and casinos on planets across the galaxy. The Doctor has encountered the Sidewinder Syndicate on a number of occasions. As well as the 10th Doctors adventure in 1920s Chicago, the TARDIS had previously taken the 2nd Doctor, Jamie, Ben and Polly to a space casino, where they found the Syndicate to be working for a mysterious woman called Fortune; and much later in his life, the 11th Doctor and Amy found themselves caught up in a bank robbery being carried out by the Syndicate. The Sidewinder Syndicate may not be able to invade planets like the Daleks or Cybermen, but they are nevertheless a dangerous foe at a more personal level. Anybody who crosses them is likely to find themselves the subject of a vendetta and be a target for gangs of reptilian hit-men. Adventure Seed: Prison Break! Accidentally landing inside a high-security prison on the planet Habjalleen, the players are caught up in a jailbreak as a squad of Sidewinder Syndicate gangsters attempts to bust out their incarcerated colleagues. Separated from the TARDIS, and possibly each other, the players face a fight for survival as a battle ensues between the Judoon warders and the prisoners let loose by the Syndicate.

TRODS
(TV Comic)
The Trods are a race of robots from the planet Trodos. They have a large, roughly cylindrical body tapering slightly towards the bottom and mounted on a pair of small caterpillar tracks, with flexible arms ending in long metallic claws, and a small, conical head with a single lens-like eye. They are powered by static electricity broadcast from a central power generator to a receiver aerial on top of each Trods head. The Trod leader is the Super Trod, a slightly larger robot with the words SUPER TROD painted on its yellow casing. Other Trods have their designated number on their casing. The Trods were originally built by one of the human inhabitants of Trodos to give himself power over his fellows. But the robots rose up against their controller and instead enslaved the humans. They remained in power until Dr Who arrived on Trodos with his grandchildren John and Gillian and destroyed their power generator, deactivating them. But a space traveller later reactivated the robots and used them to rule Trodos. Although again deactivated by Dr Who, the Trods somehow survived and built a time machine to pursue him to prehistoric Earth in order to exact their revenge. When the Doctor returned to Trodos sometime later to make peace with the Trods, he found that they had been all but wiped out by the Daleks, who were waiting to ambush him. The few Trod survivors assisted the Doctor and his grandchildren, helping them escape from the Daleks. In an echo of the TV episode The Space Museum, in which the 1st Doctor hid inside a Dalek casing, Dr Who and his grandchildren visited a time museum and each hid inside a Trod casing to escape from the Cybermen. The sign on the Trod exhibit read TRODS SPACE WAR MONGERS FOR GENERATIONS. Clearly the metal menaces enjoyed much wider and longer success than was actually seen in the comic-strips!

TYRENIANS
(The Colony of Lies)
In the 25th Century, the Tyrenians - a previously unknown spacefaring species - appeared as if from nowhere. They are a noble race of nomadic warriors who are believed to have come from a world named Tyrenia, the third planet of a twin-star system in Sector Five of the galaxy. The story goes that the Tyrenians were forced to flee their home planet as a result of the Great Accident, an outbreak of plague which almost wiped them out. The Tyrenians are a humanoid species but with canine characteristics. They have heightened senses and an enhanced physiognomy which enables them to recover from injuries at a remarkably rapid rate. They are a warrior species and are perfectly adapted for personal combat. But they also employ robotic battledroids, similar in design to Earth battlefield drones. The Tyrenians use a species of symbiotic invertebrates, the Alisorti, to induce Deep Sleep, a form of suspended animation. A few Alisorti suffer from a rare blood disorder which can result in an Intelligence Reducing Virus (IRV) in their hosts, turning the Tyrenians into savage beasts. The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe encountered the Tyrenians in the 26th Century on Axista Four, a human colony world founded by philanthropist Stewart Ransom, where it appeared that a group of the creatures had colonised the planet first and had hidden themselves away in Deep Sleep when the humans arrived.

The true origins of the Tyrenians are somewhat more complicated and are not known even to the Tyrenians themselves. They are in fact humans who were experimented on by the Earth Federation to create genetically enhanced super-soldiers. The addition of canine DNA has given them their heightened abilities. After a promising start, the Federation abandoned the programme, withdrew funding and outlawed further genetic research, ordering all specimens to be destroyed. But the scientist responsible, Gustav Tyren, refused and his direct boss, Stewart Ransom, secretly arranged for the experimental subjects to steal a ship and escape from the space station laboratory. The ship that the Tyrenians used in their escape crashed on Axista Four. When Ransom later selected a planet for his proposed human colony, he perhaps subconsciously used the same raw data to programme the ships computer as had been used by the Tyrenians escape vessel, resulting in the same flight path and the colonists also arriving on Axista Four. The fake story about the Tyrenians fleeing a plague which ravaged their homeworld was in fact concocted by the 7th Doctor to preserve the secret that they are instead human experimental subjects (who would be exterminated by the Federation).

VALMONT
(World Game)
Valmont is a member of the group of immortals known as the Players. The origin and precise nature of these entities is unclear, but they have some similarity to the Eternals (possibly indicating a common origin). Like the Eternals, the Players exist outside time and space. Bored with the eternity of their existence, they entertain themselves by interfering in human history in a series of Games against each other. Valmont, for example, is known to operate in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. He has allied himself with another Player who calls herself the Countess, and together they are working to ensure the success of Napolon Bonapartes plans to conquer Europe and possibly the world. Later, they propose a Grand Design which will result in the entire world being plunged into a never-ending series of wars, providing the opportunity for endless Games for the Players. In their own realm, Players are formless. But in our universe, they take human form. Valmont appears to be a thin young man with classically handsome features and romantically curling black hair. He has the petulant air of somebody used to getting his own way at all times and becomes sulky if his plans are thwarted. He dresses elegantly in clothing appropriate to the period the Games take him to. Valmont is disdainful of mortal races and speaks to humans and Time Lords alike as though they are beneath his contempt. Like all Players, Valmont is able to move instantaneously in time and space, and from our universe to the Players own extradimensional realm. He often uses this ability to avoid capture or death if he is cornered in human form. However, his actions are limited by the Rules of the Game that the Players have adopted. So he cannot, for example, move forward in time to view the outcome of his actions on history, having instead to view time in a linear fashion as mere mortals do. Players can also only use human weapons, else they will forfeit the Game, though they are able to influence the development of new weapons. Although Players are immortal, the Rules of the Game state that if killed while in mortal form, a Player is truly dead. Further, the rules limit Players from taking direct action against each other, but must use their powers of influence over humans or employ mortal agents to act on their behalf. Valmont however only loosely abides by this last rule, on one occasion even trying to assassinate the Duke of Wellington and Lord Nelson with a bomb. Any transgression of the rules is subject to arbitration by an Adjudicator back in the Players dimension, but it is mainly attempts by one Player directly on the life of another Player that are considered a serious breach. The stats for Valmont are for his human form.

THE VIST
(The Forbidden Time)
Most beings in the universe live their lives through time in a purely linear fashion. Some have constructed machines that allow them to move through time, but very few races can move through it naturally. The Vist are one such race. Somehow, they developed the biological ability to travel through time as naturally as we travel through space. Despite being time-faring, the Vist are actually a very primitive race, not understanding the mechanics of time travel or even the development of the universe to any great degree. They trust to their biological awareness and senses when traversing the vortex and find it incomprehensible that a non-living thing could traverse time. The Vists time sense allows them to perceive time, which doesnt mean that they can see all possible futures. Time has a geography that sometimes allows them to see landmarks (events), but not exactly how to get there. The Vist subsist on subtle energies that exist throughout the fields of time. These energies can be disrupted by the linear passage of time that most creatures experience in their day-to-day lives. The Vist are also able to harness life energy from living beings. This energy gives them sustenance, but it is implied that this is not their normal diet. The Vist are keen to stop these incursions into their fields of sustenance and do not care whether other beings even have the capability of avoiding the periods of time that they lay claim to. The Vist are about the size of a greyhound. Their legs are long and spindly like those of a giraffe or even a daddy-long-legs spider. Their heads hang low from their bodies. They have monkey-like faces with large eyes that appear to have two pupils each. They are described as resembling the elephants depicted in Salvador Dalis painting, The Temptation of St. Anthony. Their maneuverability is greatly limited. If they gain to much speed going one way it is difficult for their spindly legs to slow them down to turn in another direction. The Vist can project shadow worlds sideways in time from the main one. These shadow worlds have less energy than the physical universe that we exist in and, as a result, they cannot sustain life. However, it does echo the shapes and forms of the non-living aspects of our world. These exist as washed-out sepiatinged objects that lack the physical strength of their real-world analogues. When these objects are touched, they normally crumble into dust. Even a planetary surface is described as feeling spongy as if the crust could give way at any moment. Very little is known about Vist technology. They have a weapon that fixes a living object into the shadow world into one of the shadowy reflection structures that exist in that world. This has the effect of moving that being back into the normal world as long as they concentrate on some anchor to return them there. The Vist can also apparently weave glowing structures that they use as their buildings. The Doctor surmised that such a building exists outside of all times and all spaces although the Vist are able to move openings to it so that they can be perceived from shadow worlds and possibly from the real world as well.

YETI MARK III
(Downtime)
The Yeti used by the Great Intelligence during its attempted invasion of the worlds computer systems in 1995 are rather different to those used in its previous attacks. These versions are not robots, but are humans who have been transformed by nanotechnology into monstrous creatures under the control of the Intelligence. Students at New World University (known as Chillys) were among the first victims of this process, forming a small army of Yeti to defend the campus against UNIT. The transformation is triggered by a new version of the Yeti control spheres. These attack by punching their way into their victims chest, breaking through the rib cage. Once it has disappeared into the chest, the wounds immediately close over behind it as the nanogenes get to work, the victims body coursing with energy as it begins to expand. The emerging creature is a hulking brute the size of a grizzly bear, with red-brown fur, savage claws and huge yellow fangs. The Yetis head can swivel on its neck like an owls and its face has a pair of burning red eyes capable of penetrating the darkness. They move with a rolling, lumbering gait and are surprisingly fast. As these Yeti are flesh and blood animals, they are not quite so resistant to damage as their robot predecessors. However, they are still incredibly tough and can shrug off wounds which would kill most living creatures of their size. They can fire jets of steaming plasma from their outstretched paws, which coalesces to cover their victims in the Intelligences web substance, smothering and choking them to death almost instantly. The only way of reversing the transformation is to destroy the Great Intelligence, or banish it so that it can no longer control the spheres within the Yetis chests. In this case, the nanotechnology will transform the creatures back into the humans they once were. The new version of the control spheres are used as a mobile extension of the mainframe which the Great Intelligence now inhabits. They are small enough to patrol the New World University campus and monitor suspicious activity without being spotted, but can also be used to pursue any enemies of the Intelligence as well as transform Chillys into Yeti.
London Zoo has a female specimen of Yeti Traversii named Mahamaya which successfully bred with a male Yeti by the name of Suddhodana loaned by Beijing. The cub has been named Margaret, after the Prime Minister who it unfortunately bit during a photo call, much to the amusement of the assembled press!

THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE YETI

As briefly seen at the end of The Abominable Snowmen, real Yeti are known to exist in the universe of Doctor Who. By the 1990s, three distinct species have been identified: Mih-teh and Dzu-teh are both closer to apes, while the third species, Ye-teh or Yeti Traversii, is more bear-like, eight feet tall on its hind legs and with grey fur. The latter is the species discovered by Professor Travers and is notoriously timid and elusive. Only a few hundred are believed to survive in the wild and the species has been officially classed as endangered. All three types of Yeti are protected.

LOCATIONS IN SPACE AND TIME

AXISTA FOUR
(The Colony of Lies)
CHAPTER 4: LOCATIONS IN SPACE AND TIME
An Independent Earth Colony was founded on Axista Four by the famous philanthropist Stewart Ransom in 2439. He wanted to use a Back to Basics philosophy proposed by his daughter Kirann to run the colony without reliance on technology that the colonists did not fully understand. Tragically, Ransom was killed when the colonists ship crashed on the planet, and his daughter and many others were left in suspended animation as none of the remaining survivors had the technical knowledge to revive them. Without the influence of Kirann, the Back to Basics credo has changed from a series of guiding principles to a set of strict laws which forbid the use of any technology more recent than the 19th Century. As a consequence, when the TARDIS arrives on Axista Four one hundred years later, its passengers find that the colony is slowly dying, strangled by rules which have hampered food production and medical care. The main settlement of Plymouth Hope City is like a frontier town from the Old West and the surrounding desert only reinforces that image. Horses are the main mode of transport and the settlement appoints a sheriff to maintain law and order. The wreck of the colonists ship, the Big Bang, still lies nearby with Kirann and the others still safe in suspended animation inside. Hidden within the ship and unknown to the humans, a number of Earth Federation battlefield drones wait inactive in secret compartments. These are capable of individual action or can reconfigure and combine into a single gigantic machine capable of flight. Around the year 2530, a group of the colonists rebelled against the Back to Basics principles and have broken away from the Loyalists to form the Realists. They have set up a village for themselves 30km from Plymouth Hope in the foothills of the mountains. However, the Realists can only survive by periodically raiding the Loyalists settlement for supplies. Axista Four has an orange sky and three major land masses. On the southern continent, there are a number of ruined cities which suggest that the planet may have been inhabited in the distant past. There are numerous species of wild animals and birds on Axista Four, including bear-like creatures in the mountains and insects which carry diseases. There are also many examples of plants both poisonous and harmless. Myths on Axista Four (and common to many frontier colonies) include stories of giant desert worms, sentient seas and hidden Dalek armies.

Unknown to the human colonists, they were not the first alien species to settle on Axista Four: the Tyrenians got here first! In fact it was a series of Tyrenian defence satellites that shot the colonists ship down, causing the crash which killed Stewart Ransom. The battlefield drones hidden on the colony ship then attacked the Tyrenian settlement, forcing the Tyrenians to retreat into their bunker hidden in the mountains and enter suspended animation to avoid being wiped out. The drones secret mission (to destroy the Tyrenians, the only surviving evidence of the Federations genetic experiments) having apparently succeeded, they withdrew back into their hidden alcoves in the Big Bang and powered down until needed again. One hundred years later, the descendants of the original colonists know nothing of the drones or of the Tyrenians.

BOLSHEVIK UZBEKISTAN
(The Memory Cheats)
The largely Muslim region of Central Asia which later became Uzbekistan was first conquered by imperial Russia in the mid19th Century, when its commercial potential and its cotton harvests in particular made it an attractive target for annexation. By 1876, all three Central Asian khanates - Bukhoro, Khiva and Quqon (Kokand) - were incorporated into the Russian empire, with the khanates themselves left with only limited autonomous power. The educated class of Central Asians, known as Jadids or Jadidists, were advocating the overthrow of their Russian rulers by the beginning of the 20th Century, and unrest manifested in a number of anti-tsarist revolts, often led by religious leaders. But the social situation continued to deteriorate, leading to a series of major disturbances in the summer of 1916 due to the conscription of Central Asians into the Russian army to fight in the Great War. The Russian revolutions of February and October 1917 gave the Uzbeks the first realistic opportunity to throw off their overlords. In February, the administrative centre of the region, Tashkent, was a scene of a revolutionary uprising mirroring that in St Petersburg, and the tsarist governor general was overthrown. However, a provisional government with direct Soviet control was established and excluded the ethnic Muslim populace. An attempt to set up an autonomous government in Quqon was quickly crushed, leading to a guerrilla war against Soviet rule by the Jadidists and an alliance of other loose factions. This became known as the Basmachi Revolt, which continued for more than a decade before finally withering away in the early 1930s. Meanwhile the traditional rulers of Bukharo and Khiva were removed and new states under strong Bolshevik influence were set up. Bolshevism in Central Asia, as in the rest of the Soviet Union, officially continued until 1952, when the cumbersomely-named All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) became the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. However, in modern times, the word Bolshevik is largely an historic term referring to the period up to the end of the Russian Civil War of 1917-1922. In Central Asia, the Red Army of the revolutionaries overthrew the White Russiansupported Quqon autonomy in February 1918, but was then threatened by the intervention of foreign powers, principally in the form of three prominent British army leaders sent to the
region. None of these officers had any notable success and the Bolsheviks continued to progress towards the control of Central Asia. The first regional congress of the Russian Communist Party convened in the city of Tashkent in June 1918 in order to build support for a local Bolshevik Party. It is into this scene of social and political upheaval that the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe arrived. The TARDIS landed near Tashkent in 1919 in the middle of the Russian Civil War, and the Doctor posed as an official sent from Moscow in order to investigate a series of disappearances of children in the area. Although the paranoia and terror of the Stalinist era is yet to come, Central Asia of this time is still a place where a persons allegiances and sympathies can mean a matter of life and death. The Cheka the security service of Lenins Emergency Commission bring fear in their wake, and the horrors of war are evident everywhere. Although the Bolsheviks are consolidating their control of Central Asia, the Basmachi Revolt is still a real threat to this, with the Islamic leader Irgash Bay commanding a sizeable army in the Ferghana Valley and the countryside around Tashkent, and his rival Madamin Bay forming an alliance with Russian settlers. The presence of the foreign allies of the White Russians provides an additional complication, and even before adding any alien threats, the situation is ripe for an adventure centred on action or cloak-anddagger intrigue. The historical significance of the ancient city of Samarkand, a noted centre for Islamic study located on the old Silk Road, also provides an evocative setting for time travellers though 1919 is far from its much more romantic heyday. Geographically, Uzbekistan is an arid, land-locked area dominated by the Kyzyl Kum desert, a vast region of sand dunes and clay with a few scattered oases. The remainder of the land is largely given over to intensive agriculture, particularly to the production of cotton. At the north of the region is the Aral Sea, in 1919 one of the four largest lakes in the world (but which in modern times has almost disappeared due to Soviet-era irrigation projects, and is heavily polluted by pesticides and fertilisers). Being so far inland from the oceans, temperatures in Uzbekistan range from an average high of 40 C in the summer to an average low of -23 C in the winter.

COSMIC FINANCE CENTRAL 5
(The Three Companions)
tram rails and filling the streets from side to side, a Gathernaut has an apparatus like a steam trains cow-catcher on the front, which opens out to reveal sets of metallic claws strung with nets. The claws are on long flexible arms capable of reaching everywhere but on the roof of the Gathernaut itself. Above the cow-catcher are the vehicles glaring headlights and a logo proclaiming GNAUT. Its netted claws shovel anybody it catches into an arrangement not dissimilar to the front of a combine harvester, in turn taking them into the carriage of the Gathernaut. There, the captives are placed in cryogenic suspension and strapped into the rows of secure airline-style seats ready to be taken off the planet. A Gathernaut can carry up to 200 people in this fashion. There are no controls within the Gathernauts cabin, to prevent its cargo from hijacking the vehicle if they should awake. Gathernauts are unintelligent machines which follow their programming to the letter and are unable to take any initiative. Although their movement is limited to running along the tram rails, they move fast, fill the entire width of the streets and are untiring in their pursuit. The only way to escape them is to get off the streets not so easy when the buildings have all been locked down!
Polly considered Cosmic Finance Central 5 (CFC5) to be the strangest world that she had ever visited, and the saddest. The planet had a single vast city comprised of identical six-storey office blocks set out in a strict grid system. The narrow streets were laid out with tram rails that filled the width of the spaces between the buildings. But despite the lights in the offices being on, the city was deserted apart from swarms of large scavenger beetles. The Doctor identified them as belonging to various species that appear on a planet as it approaches the end of its existence to rejuvenate the environment and give it a new lease on life. The reason for the beetles arrival on CFC5 was apparent from the sickly orange colour of the sky, indicating an environment under pressure - and shortly after the TARDISs arrival a recorded message from the citys public address system announced that it was 50 minutes until Cremation Hour! As might be surmised from its name, Cosmic Finance Central 5 is in fact a planet used exclusively as an administrative centre by the mega-corporations which in effect run the galaxy. As with most things that the mega-corporations own, as soon as something has outlived its usefulness, it is disposed of, if possible for a profit. With planets, this might be because they have been exhausted of any mineral wealth, become environmentally compromised or merely as part of a business reorganisation. In the case of CFC5, its environment was in a state from which it could recover if given the chance, and wildlife still flourished: flocks of small birds similar to swifts soared and dived after insects high in the sky. But even so, a cremation bomb had been set up linked to a countdown to allow time for all the inhabitants to leave. When detonated, the bomb would incinerate the entire world, reducing it to raw atomic pile to be used as fuel by passing spacecraft. With only 50 minutes to get back to the TARDIS and escape the conflagration, the Doctor and his friends found their paths blocked when a huge robotic vehicle jerked into life! This was a Gathernaut, an automated machine designed to catch any humans who resisted leaving the doomed planet. Running on the

GALACTI-BANK (The Selachian Gambit)

In the spaces between the occupied parts of the galaxy are vast regions outside the reach of planetary laws. It is in these neutral, unclaimed spaces that businesses can avoid the usual red tape and set up enterprises unencumbered by external regulation. One such enterprise is that of the Galacti-Bank Corporation, whose branches operate from purpose-built space stations across the galaxy operating outside the law so that the rich can get even richer, as the Doctor put it. Looking like spinning tops in space, the banks branches are all designed along similar lines. Walking from a Galacti-Banks parking bay, customers will enter a huge foyer of bank counters, glassfronted meeting rooms, potted plants and thick plastic windows looking out onto a vista of stars. Behind the counters, mechanical loans officers looking like the top half of a shop dummy serve the public. These robot tellers are inflexibly bureaucratic in their dealings, and the only human face of the bank is that of the branch manager whose office is beyond the foyer. Dominating the back wall of the foyer is an enormous vault door, twice the height of a man and constructed of reinforced steel with numerous locking wheels and bars. The vault is rarely opened though, as most of the day-to-day deposits and withdrawals are made via a number of hoppers placed around the foyer. These are small teleport platforms each linked to a keypad for customers to use to transport their valuables in and out of their security deposit boxes within the vault. All sorts of items are stored within the vault, from jewellery and antiques to secret industrial plans and weapons blueprints. The Corporation describes the Galacti-Bank vaults as impregnable. Firstly, the vault combinations are changed four times a day by computer. And secondly, even if a raider manages to open the vault door, unless they use an additional combination, the door only opens onto deep space with just a forcefield preventing the banks atmosphere from escaping. As the Doctor explained to Jamie, the vault is dimensionally transcendental and exists in its own pocket reality, much like the TARDIS interior and like the TARDIS, the interior of the vault is virtually immune to outside attacks. The full combination to open the door includes the coordinates of the dimensional void which is the vault itself. Physical security at the Galacti-Bank is actually very light. Apart from the usual precautions such as hidden cameras, the bank relies mainly on the vault being impregnable or at least so time consuming to crack open that silent alarms will summon external assistance well in time to prevent any would-be robbers getting away. That external assistance is provided by Tartarus Security Services, a private company to which the Corporation has outsourced its security operations. They respond by sending a heavily-armed battle cruiser whose crew is more likely to storm the bank than try to negotiate with would-be robbers!
BREAKING INTO THE VAULT

Breaking into the vault is a complicated and lengthy task which the GM should play out to add tension and allow time for activity to be going on in the background (though the actual time needed should fit the requirements of the adventure). In game terms, it is a two stage process. The first challenge is to crack the combination needed to get the vault door open. This is an Improbable task, requiring an Ingenuity + Subterfuge roll with a Difficulty of 27. Success in this first roll doesnt mean that the vault door opens yet, as the attempt then moves onto the next stage. If the first roll succeeds, the second challenge is to crack the coordinates of the space-time void in which the vault interior exists. This is a Nearly Impossible task, requiring another Ingenuity + Subterfuge roll with a Difficulty of 30! Anybody with Vortex or Feel the Turn of the Universe gets a +2 bonus for each of these traits (but only on the second roll). Succeeding in the first roll but failing in the second means that the vault door only opens onto real space; only by succeeding in both rolls does the door open into the vault interior. Clearly, without the use of gadgets, specialist equipment or inside information, the vault is virtually impregnable. Breaking through the vault door is also an option using cutting equipment, explosives or similar. However, the door has 30 points of Armour and can take 20 points of damage. And even if this attempt succeeds, this will not access the vaults extradimensional interior, resulting only in a view of space. A further option is to use the teleport hoppers used by customers to make deposits and withdrawals. These are operated by a combination keypad, with each customer having their own personally set code. The chances of successfully cracking any given code are slightly greater than trying to open the vault door: merely a Very Difficult task requiring an Ingenuity + Subterfuge roll with a Difficulty of 24. However, the teleport platform can only carry items capable of fitting within a cube measuring 50x50x50cm. Additionally, each individual code will only access a single customers safety deposit box within the vault. This is therefore an impractical method for carrying out a bank heist! However, it may be possible to use a hoppers controls to trace the location of the vault and hence discover its coordinates (negating the need for the second roll to break into the vault, as described above). This would be a trifling Difficult task, requiring an Ingenuity + Technology roll at Difficulty 21.

GEMINGA B
(Shadow of Death)
planets surface moving so slowly as to be almost like statues. The survey team operates a strict rota system for spending time outside, to ensure that they each experience the same amount of subjective time on the planet. The survey station is built like a deep-sea base, with thick metal plating to withstand the enormous pressures exerted by the pulsar and numerous airlocks to seal safe areas in the event of a catastrophe. However, even this robust structure isnt enough to withstand what the TARDIS crew at first believe to be an almost continual series of earthquakes caused by tidal heating within the planet. But it is actually the stresses of the interface between the time zones which are the true cause of the quakes. These and the attack of deadly living shadows threaten the lives of all on the planet, explorers and TARDIS crew alike.

Pulsars are neutron stars (super-dense remnants of supernovae) which rotate extremely rapidly and pulse radio and X-ray emissions as beams of coherent electromagnetic radiation from their poles. The immense gravity of a pulsar combined with the intensity of its radiation beams can be sufficient to disrupt a TARDIS in flight, which is how the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe found themselves on the planet Geminga B orbiting a pulsar in the year 2724. Originally a drifting rogue planet which was captured by the pulsars gravity, Geminga B is a rocky, arid world and its star is just a tiny pulsing speck in the sky. The sky itself is an incredible field of shifting bands of colour as the stars emissions interact with Geminga Bs magnetic field, causing a permanent aurora lighting the planet. Fortunately the planet orbits at right angles to the pulsars poles and therefore avoids the worst of the radiation which pulses out from the star like beams from a lighthouse. Even so, the high background radiation (not to mention lack of a breathable atmosphere!) means that protective spacesuits are needed for survival on the planets surface. But the truly remarkable phenomenon is that the influence of the pulsar causes time itself to warp on Geminga B and it passes thousands of times more slowly than for the universe generally. The planet has caught the attention of a team from the 5th Galactic Surveyor Corps, who are here to explore the ruins of an ancient city of tall towers and spires. Very little is known about whoever built the city, there being no artefacts or written records left by them. The survey team has therefore dubbed them the Quiet Ones. The survey teams base is shielded from the time warping effect of the pulsar, and time within the base is synched to Earth standard. But anybody venturing outside even for a few minutes will actually be gone for several weeks from the point of view of those within the base, and they will be seen on the
GAMING ACROSS THE TIME ZONES

Running an adventure which takes place across zones in which time passes at different speeds is an intriguing prospect, but one which presents problems for the GM. If the time zones are running at only slightly differing speeds, then this can fairly easily be simulated by allowing anybody in the faster zone to have two, three or more Action Rounds for every one Round in the slower zone. However, on the planet of the Quiet Ones, time on the planets surface is moving thousands of times slower than within the human base: anybody outside the base will experience a few minutes while, for those within, several weeks will pass. The problem with this is most acute if the PCs become separated: those who venture outside will be effectively out of the game, perhaps for the rest of the adventure. The GM should think through the possible implications before running an adventure across different time zones and may need to ensure that the players are not separated. Even if the PCs stay together, if they are in the slow zone, NPCs in the fast zone will have a distinct advantage over them. The GM may want to prepare some means for the players to be able to equalise the passage of time. This could form the initial challenge of the scenario, which the players need to resolve before they can progress to the main part of the adventure.

THE GLORIOUS REVOLUTION
(The Glorious Revolution)
the pair ruled jointly as King and Queen. On 16th December, a Bill of Rights passed by the English Parliament forbade the monarch from being a Catholic and from marrying a Catholic. The Glorious Revolution is so named because it was almost bloodless. But as Jamie pointed out, although this was true of England, in Scotland and Ireland it resulted in years of civil war and bloodshed, including the Battle of the Boyne, the Massacre of Glencoe, and the Battle of Culloden.
THE ABERRANT TIMELINE
The Glorious Revolution refers to the replacement of King James II of England (James VII of Scotland) by William III and Mary II in 1688. James II was a Roman Catholic and since he had ascended the throne in 1685, he had worked towards the re-establishment of Catholicism as the countrys religion. This caused deep divisions between the King and Parliament. In 1687, James issued the Declaration of Indulgence, a pair of proclamations which promoted religious tolerance and suspended penal laws that enforced conformity to the Church of England. While James had no male heirs and his two daughters were Protestants, these problems were widely believed to be temporary. But in June 1688, his wife gave birth to a boy, James, giving rise to the serious prospect of a Catholic dynasty. Within three weeks of the birth of Prince James, a group of leading Protestant politicians wrote to William of Orange, a prince of the Dutch royal house, inviting him to come to England with an army and take the throne with his wife (and James IIs eldest daughter) Mary. William landed in Torbay, Devon in November and marched towards London. Jamess army had superior numbers and so he had declined an offer of assistance from his cousin, Louis XIV of France. However, many of Jamess soldiers defected and joined the invading army. James lost his nerve and on December 11th he tried to flee to France without even attacking the Dutch forces. He was initially captured at the coast, but William allowed him to escape so that he would not be executed and become a martyr. James made it to France, from where he spent the rest of his life plotting his restoration to the English throne. The young Prince James grew up to be the Old Pretender, and in turn his son, Charles, became Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Young Pretender. A specially convened Convention Parliament met in London on 22nd January 1689. Refusing to depose James, it instead declared that by fleeing to France he had abdicated the throne. On 11th April, the Scottish Parliament similarly declared that James had forfeited the throne. Although some politicians believed that the new monarch should be Mary alone (as James IIs daughter) with her husband as regent, this would not have satisfied William, and
When the TARDIS materialised in London in 1688, the Doctor and his friends met James II. Jamie could not help but urge the King to fight for his crown. Consequently, the Glorious Revolution failed and James II remained on the throne. There were no Jacobite Risings to try to reinstate a Stuart monarch and no Battle of Culloden at which Jamie met the Doctor - and the resulting temporal paradox threatened the lives of the Doctor, Zoe and Jamie himself

THE GOLDEN AGE OF HOLLYWOOD
(Dying in the Sun)
The start of the Golden Age of Hollywood is generally held to be the release of The Jazz Singer in 1927, the first movie to incorporate sequences in which sound was synchronised with the images on screen. Developments in sound technology meant that by the 30s, the silent movies were a thing of the past and the talkies had taken over. The Golden Age was characterised by the Studio System, dominated by the Big Five studios: MGM, Paramount, Warner Bros, RKO and Fox. These five each had controlling stakes in their own theatre chains, thus ensuring that they had distribution for their own movies wrapped up. By comparison, the Little Three studios Universal, Columbia Pictures and United Artists had to rely on smaller circuits and independent theatres. The studios also operated a system of block booking of theatres, whereby they would sell a years worth of movies as a package. These would include a number of big-budget major releases, but would inevitably also carry numerous lower budget B-movies of dubious quality which the theatres would be obliged to screen as part of the package. Thus the studio executives could produce cheap movies in the knowledge that they were guaranteed a return on their investment. Under the so-called Star System, movie stars were effectively the employees of a particular studio, and signed up to contracts that bound them to that studio and required them to pump out several movies a year. Budding actors would be selected by the studios and given makeovers to reinvent their appearance and image. The studios would be in control of which films each of their stars would be assigned to, with little thought given to the actors wishes. Contracts often dictated how the stars acted offset as well as in front of the cameras, to ensure that they behaved in public. Of course, any unfortunate indiscretions that did occur were then hushed up by bribery, whether with payments to the witnesses or the promise of exclusive news stories to the press. Directors were similarly contractually bound to their studios. As each studio developed its own distinctive style of movies, and also in response to the close scrutiny of morality campaigners, the films produced by the major studios became formulaic. Little directorial originality was permitted so that the studios controlled
the artistic output, and films were defined by distinct genres, each with their own rules and clichs of storytelling. The decline of the Golden Age of Hollywood began in 1948, when the practice of block booking was outlawed by the Supreme Court. This meant that studios had to be far more selective in the movies they produced. In 1952, the Hays Code (a self-imposed code of censorship adopted by Hollywood) was overturned when the Supreme Court ruled that film was an artistic medium protected from government censorship under the First Amendment. This and the influence of foreign and independent films led to the studios having less control over their directors. During the 1950s, the anti-Communist Blacklist affected hundreds of artists working in the film industry who were accused of having left-wing tendencies. In the latter half of the decade though, the entertainment industry hit back, beginning with Bette Daviss 1956 film Storm Center which targeted the anti-Communist hysteria. The Star System itself crumbled during this period, with major established stars resorting to the courts to get out of their contracts and the publicity around this meaning that new actors were becoming more aware of the pitfalls they were being asked to sign up to. The final nail in the coffin of the Golden Age was television, whose continued rise in the 50s and 60s drew audiences away from the movie theatres and back to their own homes. As a setting for DWAITAS adventures, the Golden Age of Hollywood can be presented as the fabulous movie capital of the world, where all the beautiful people, the rich and famous, and the movers and shakers of the entertainment industry hang out. Or it can be portrayed as the gritty and often grim reality below a thin veneer of glamour, where the hopeful talents are sucked into the movie-making machine, wrung out for all they are worth and eventually spat out again. And where are the aliens in all of this? Are they pulling the strings behind the scenes? Are they hiding in plain sight in front of the cameras? Or are they merely bystanders, watching the spectacle for their own entertainment or feeding off the broken dreams? When the TARDIS brings the Doctor, Ben and Polly to Hollywood in 1947, they discover that the threat is from a race of creatures who have implanted themselves within the celluloid of the film stock itself

(House of Cards)
operated remotely, but they are randomised so that any button on the panel could activate a disintegrator in either of the booths, automatically delivering Lethal damage to its occupant. Before a button is chosen, all other customers have the opportunity to place bets on the outcome. Without any interference with the equipment, its a pure 50:50 chance as to who will survive! Beyond the public areas of the casino and the adjoining luxury hotel complex are a maze of drab corridors and offices where the entire operation is run. Fortunes personal office is sumptuous by comparison. Very little is known about Fortune herself, though she is clearly a formidable businesswoman who strikes fear into the Sinister Syndicate. She appears to be a striking, slender woman with dark skin, usually wearing a long kimono which reaches the floor. How she came to own the casino and what hold she has over the Syndicate is unknown. The Doctor described Fortune as a psychic leech feeding off the desperation of the casinos clientele, to which she added their hopes, anticipation and excitement. Quite how literal this may be is a matter of speculation, but her ability to vanish leaving just a red mist indicates that she isnt human. Fortune is obviously a force to be reckoned with.
When the TARDIS deposited the Doctor, Ben, Polly and Jamie on an arid desert world far in the future, they decided to take a holiday at the futuristic space casino they found there. Run by the sinister Sidewinder Syndicate but owned by a mysterious woman called Fortune (or Miss Fortune to the Sidewinders, who apparently used to own the place before her), the casino operates all sorts of games for their customers to try their luck at. From the ranks of no-armed bandit slot machines to card games such as redjack and three-card Vulcan hold em, and from dice tables to pits in which robo-hounds with metal jaws like mantraps tear each other to pieces. The main area of the casino is a loud, brash temple to gambling in all its forms, patrolled by the Syndicates snake-like gangsters. The games themselves are operated by robotic croupiers in the form of humanoid playing cards with blank silver faces and emotionless electronic voices. All games are naturally weighted towards the house! Time travel is strictly forbidden in the casino, to prevent gamblers with prior knowledge of the results going back in time to place bets. The building is fitted with time travel sensors which sound an alarm if they detect any temporal disturbance and cameras are monitored to spot anybody appearing in multiple locations simultaneously. The Sidewinders are equipped with scanners to identify the chronon signal given off by time travellers. Any they discover are subject to whatever punishment the casino decides, the same with any other cheats there is no other law on the planet. They are most likely to be subjected to the dreaded Game of Life, though when the house was owned by the Syndicate, anybody breaking the casinos rules would quickly find themselves in a shallow grave out in the desert, a faster form of justice. Customers low on funds can accept credit from the house. But they had better beware - anybody who cant settle their account on demand is similarly forced to play the Game of Life. The Game involves two players being locked inside a pair of glass booths each fitted with a disintegrator ray in the ceiling. The rays controls are

THE ISLAND OF PAPUL ON JENGGEL
(Combat Rock)
During one of the imperial expansionist periods of Earths future, the planet of Jenggel was a target for annexation into the growing Empire, but the subsequent war ended with no clear resolution: Jenggel may not be a colony in a political sense, but it seems to be treated as such by visitors from Earth. On Jenggel, the indigenous human-like inhabitants are divided into tribal states, the most dominant being that of the Indoni. When the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria visited the island of Papul, they found it to be under the authority of the Indoni Republic. The native people of Papul are subject to brutal treatment at the hands of their occupiers, and rebel Papul have organised themselves into a resistance group, the Operaki Papul Gallaki (OPG), to fight against the Indoni. Amid purple seas and rimmed with red sands, the island of Papul is covered with dense jungle, with its people scattered across the island in towns and small villages, each remote from its neighbours. Larger towns on Papul include Jayapul (the capital), Agat, Meraowk and Wameen. Papul is a popular tourist destination for Indoni and off-world visitors and a target for missionaries from the Earth Empire. Many tourists join organised sightseeing expeditions to visit the more accessible villages, where some of the old Papul culture has been retained at least for the purposes of tourism. Some of the old customs of Papul are definitely not tourist-friendly though, as the islanders are notorious for having been cannibals in times past, and there are rumours that in some of the remotest villages this ritual is still practiced The jungles of Papul teem with wildlife, much of it dangerous. Deathsnakes are emerald green serpents the thickness of a human finger, whose venom is almost instantly fatal. Kassowarks are a species of large flightless bird capable of gutting a man with a kick from their powerful three-clawed feet. Another flightless bird, the Horrakbill, has a vicious beak but can be tamed. Slinkers are large grey animals with blunt heads, powerful forearms and jaws
capable of tearing a mans head from his body. But perhaps most fearsome of all are Snatchers, massive creatures with formless mossy green bodies and fleshy rope-like tentacles ending in long fingers that grab unwary humans from beneath the surface of the rivers and lakes there are even reports of Snatchers large enough and strong enough to grab flying shuttlecraft from out of the sky! These and hundreds of other creatures are waiting for any travellers foolish enough to venture into the jungles of Papul! Although the planet as a whole has access to Earth technology, Papul is an undeveloped province on Jenggel. Even the principal towns will seem backwards to visiting tourists, and in the remotest villages, technology is still largely at the level of the Stone Age. Time travellers arriving on Papul may find themselves caught up in the struggle between the OPG and the occupying Indoni forces; or they might have to rescue lost tourists or missionaries who have strayed into the territory of a tribe which has reverted to cannibalism; or they may simply have to fight for their own survival against the dangers found in the jungle maybe even against the terrifying Krallik.

ALLEGORY AND METAPHOR

The novel Combat Rock is clearly intended to be a commentary on the Indonesian ownership of the provinces of Papua and West Papua (together forming the western half of the island of New Guinea) and a wider allegory on colonialism. Various place names on Jenggel are derived from those of real-world places: Papul = Papua; Indoni = Indonesia; Jayapul = Jayapura (capital of Papua); Meraowk = Manokwari (capital of West Papua); the Indoni region of Batu = Bali; the neighbouring island of Javee = Java; and so on. The planets name Jenggel is presumably merely intended to equate to jungle rather than anything more specific. Allegories and metaphors have long been used as the basis of stories in Doctor Who, from the parallels between Britains entry into the then EEC and The Curse of Peladon, to Vengeance on Vaross twisted view of reality TV, to more recent examples such as concerns about the ethics of cloning in The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People. GMs can similarly use real-world references as inspiration for their own adventures, giving topical events or cultural concerns a sci-fi twist to come up with a tale with a hidden (or not so hidden) message.

LYCHBERG
(Heart of TARDIS)
In the 1960s, the American town of Lychburg in the great state of [classified*] was selected by the US government as the first test site for the Golgotha Project by the highly technical statistical process of sticking a pin in a map and picking a geographically self-contained and out-of-the-way population centre near where it ended up. Superficially, Lychburg is a typical Midwestern town set amid wooded hills and bluffs. Among its many amenities are the Lychburg Central Park, the Drive-o-Rama movie theatre, the Mercy Hill General Hospital, the Shangri La Fantasy Motel (Fiftythree themed rooms for you to live out your wildest dreams) and even its own organised crime fraternity operating behind the front of Big Vinnies Bar and Deli. However, since the Golgotha Project, the town is not exactly normal. Ice-trucks, cell phones and trolley buses exist side by side, as do automobiles from the 1950s and 60s, and shopping malls from the 1990s. It is as if the town has been populated by icons of American culture from across the 20th Century, with no concept of the context. Even stranger, there is no way to leave Lychburg. All roads, no matter in which direction, eventually lead back to the town. It is in its own enclosed area of space-time. Further, brutal and motiveless killings are frequent, with the towns inhabitants murderously turning on anybody who are not One with Continuity and who start to question the strangeness around them, as though directed by another intelligence.
state Springfield is located in is repeated for Lychburg. Many of the characters from The Simpsons have analogs in Lychburg, including Chief Wiggum and Dr Hibbert. There is even a brief appearance by an overweight, bearded comic-book store owner who says Worst episode ever with lordly contempt, and mention of a bartender named Moe.

MULTI-DOCTOR STORIES
Heart of TARDIS, the novel in which Lychburg features, is an example of a multi-Doctor spin-off story, in this case featuring the 2nd and 4th Doctors. What is unusual is that the two Doctors do not meet or rather, in the one scene which features both incarnations, the 4th Doctor hides from the 2nd and so the pair do not interact. There are a few other similar examples in the spin-off universe, in which what could be regarded as the standard structure of a multi-Doctor story is subverted in this way. For example, the Big Finish audio Project: Lazarus features both the 6th and 7th incarnations, but not in the same episodes; and the DWM comic-strip Under Pressure features the 3rd and 4th incarnations (and, to make things more complicated, is also narrated by the 7th Doctor) but the 3rd Doctor is not aware of the presence of the 4th. This style of multi-Doctor adventure could be used in DWAITAS to good effect. In particular, it allows for the role of the Time Lord to be passed from one player to another to share the experience of playing the Doctor (by different players portraying the different incarnations) while at the same time limiting events to only one overbearing personality in any one scene. How this is accomplished is a matter of the GMs personal taste. Perhaps the incarnations are separated in time, with one version first encountering a situation, but subsequent ones having to clear up after him. Or perhaps they are separated in space, with an overall linking enemy or theme connecting their individual adventures. Whether the various Doctors finally meet up in the final scenes or remain ignorant of each others involvement is up to the GM and of course the players.

What has happened to Lychburg? In short, the Golgotha Project used a device known as the Arimathea Artefact to try to open a gateway to Hell. Unfortunately, a prototype time travel capsule from Gallifreys early experiments collided with the gateway and created a rift. The United States government dropped a nuclear warhead on Lychburg to prevent the rift from spreading. This had the effect of shunting the town into a dimension of its own, where its integrity has been maintained only by the mind of the test subject in the time travel capsule. This is a Gallifreyan woprat, a species which has since become extinct. About the build of a medium-sized dog, a woprat is rat-like in nature but has fifteen elongated, partially furred and multi-jointed legs arranged in a spider-like formation around its body. Its brain is connected to the controls of the capsule by an electrode, and it is the will of this creature, now ancient and linked to this very early TARDIS prototype, that maintains the dimension in which Lychburg finds itself. It can control the minds of any of the towns inhabitants so that they do not think about leaving or questioning the seemingly miraculous replenishment of the towns food supplies. Any who do start to realise the oddness of their situation will find themselves killed by their suddenly mind-controlled former friends and colleagues. *If Lychburg seems familiar, thats because it is based on Springfield from The Simpsons.

THE MNEMOSYNE CINCTURE
(The Wheel of Ice)
When the TARDIS detects a relative continuum displacement zone, a temporal anomaly, in the Saturn system in the mid21st Century, it takes the Doctor to the Mnemosyne Cincture to investigate and wont let him leave until he has resolved the problem. Mnemosyne itself is a small moonlet within Saturns rings. It is a shapeless blob of ice and is the location of Earths first mining colony beyond the asteroid belt. It is only 1km across but has its own ring, a 4km diameter solid circle of ice constructed for the colonists like a bracelet circling Mnemosyne. This ring incorporates the living space for the colonists in massive hollow bubbles blown into the ice and ancient hulks salvaged from the early days of space exploration, converted and built into this frozen sculpture. The living areas are divided into six sectors: three residential sectors (one each for the A-grade executives, B-grade supervisors and C-grade workers), utilities, industrial and recreational. Numerous cables stretch from the ice ring down to the surface of Mnemosyne itself like spokes, carrying elevators shuttling miners to and from the moonlet. All this, collectively known as the Mnemosyne Cincture (but more usually called the Wheel of Ice by its inhabitants), was built by MMAC, the colonys space-faring engineering robot who spent years preparing it for the arrival of the first humans. Gravity on the Cincture is generated by the spin of the Wheel and even on the rim is only one eighth Earth standard; on Mnemosyne itself, it is negligible. Day and night on the Wheel is also artificial, controlled by its lighting. Air and water are all carefully recycled, and the colony grows its own food algae, fungi and vegetables, but no meat. The Cinctures power comes from its solar stacks, old sun-catcher technology storing and converting the weak sunlight into energy. What has brought mankind here, leapfrogging over the much closer moons of Jupiter, are the high concentrations of bernalium detected within Mnemosyne. Bernalium is extremely rare in the Solar System and is vital to fuel mans next leap out into space. The colony itself was funded by Bootstrap, Inc. a corporate giant that seeks to maximise the return on its investment. The Cincture is governed by an Inner Council whose five members are the Mayor (the only elected member; currently Jo Laws), the Marshal (appointed by the International Space Command in Geneva and in charge of security), the Chief Medical Officer, a Planetary Ethics
Commissioner and a Bootstrap administrator. In reality though, Bootstrap is what pays for the colony and is therefore able to bulldoze its way through the views of the rest of the Council particularly in the person of the formidable administrator Florian Hart! Conditions in the colony are harsh and there is no room for idle hands. D-grade criminals are assigned to work details on the Wheel. But the dangerous work is to be found on Mnemosyne, where there are frequent accidents and even fatalities. Shafts and tunnels honeycomb the moonlet and are bored by AI machines, then sealed and pressurised before the human miners can take over. Beyond the direct control of the Earth authorities, Bootstrap flouts health and safety and even puts youngsters to work in the mines, despite the objections of the Planetary Ethics Commissioner. Children are first taken down to Mnemosyne at the age of 7 for familiarisation visits. Recent events are causing concern even to Bootstrap. Incidents of theft and sabotage have increased and are blamed on delinquent teenagers; while sightings of childlike ghostly Blue Dolls have been reported and are linked to a number of mysterious deaths. Are these somehow connected to a theory of one of the teenage colonists, that the rings of Saturn contain resonances, patterns which could possibly be music or a communication from something utterly alien? What is causing the unstable shifting gravitational fields and neutrino fluxes within Mnemosyne? And what has created the relative continuum displacement zone that is keeping the TARDIS here?

NEW WORLD UNIVERSITY
(Downtime)
The Cutting Edge of Further Education. New World University was established in the 1980s, funded by the Doctors former travelling companion Victoria Waterfield using the wealth she inherited from her father. Victoria is now its Vice Chancellor. The campus is spread over 350 acres on the north bank of the Great Coker Canal in North West London. Once an industrial site, the location has been extensively re-landscaped into pleasant parkland by Capability Green, a prominent firm of environmental developers. From the bank of the canal, planted with reed beds and rushes and stocked with waterfowl, wide lawns sweep up to the University complex itself. The NWU is styled after the red-brick universities of the Sixties, but with ranks of pyramidal ziggurats providing a more Nineties vibe. The universitys Charles Bryce Memorial Gallery is noted for its fine collection of paintings and ethnic Tibetan art. However, the NWU is a target of criticism in the popular press and attracts a great deal of negative publicity. To try to balance this, it has its own radio station, New World FM Radio presented by an obscure former BBC Radio 1 DJ, which broadcasts positive news stories about the university. The NWU is the first establishment for further education to use tutorial methods run solely by computer program. The subjects taught at NWU are focused on technology, computer science in particular, though incorporating elements of Tibetan mysticism. Its students disparagingly referred to as Chillys by the gutter press (after Victoria perhaps naively called them Children of the New World in an early interview) are taught by the NWUs mainframe, with information pumped directly into their minds via sets of headphones they each wear. Chillys are easily identifiable by their uniform of green New World sweatshirts and bright yellow New World caps, plus their ubiquitous headphones. In 1995, New World University is actually part of the Great Intelligences plan to take control of the world. The Intelligence
itself is within the NWUs mainframe, from which it intends to invade the internet and take over the planets computer systems and technology. It is also using the body of the NWUs Chancellor, Professor Edward Travers, as a more mobile host able to guide and influence Victoria. The Intelligence controls the Chillys via the headphones they wear, using them to develop the nanotechnology and software programs it needs to further its aims. They receive their instructions over the headphones and often act in unison, behaving more like robots than humans. The Chillys are ultimately doomed, as the Intelligence intends to use the nanotechnology they have been developing to transform them into its new version of the Yeti.

THE OUTER SPACE CORRECTIONAL ESTABLISHMENT
(The Prison in Space)
The World Federation of Womanhood under Chairman Babs has long ago done away with the death penalty. Instead, criminals of the inferior sex (men) are imprisoned for their crimes, while those of the superior sex (women) are rehabilitated into society by a programme of re-education and conditioning in the Silver Maiden. The most antisocial enemies of the state among the inferiors are sent to the Outer Space Correctional Establishment (O.S.C.E.), an enormous octagonal space station high in orbit over the Earth. Although the O.C.S.E. has more traditional docking facilities, convicted criminals are transported to it inside basic capsules shot into space from Earth. The capsules have no controls of their own, so they cannot be hijacked by their occupants, but are guided into their docking tubes by a homing beam broadcast from the space station. Inmates on the O.C.S.E. are dressed in identical overalls, fed on food pills and live in a bland, monotonous environment. Their treatment is not entirely inhumane though: they are encouraged to take up a hobby to pass the time, and the prison includes workshops and other facilities for this purpose useful for wouldbe escapees! However, violent inmates are confined to the cells in Section Z aboard this prison in space. Like all guards in Chairman Babs regime, those on the O.S.C.E. are all female. As with those down on Earth, they wear black rubber uniforms with full-length boots and wield incapacitator guns designed to inflict pain and paralyse the nervous system. At the time that the Doctor and Jamie were sent to the O.S.C.E.
it had been in orbit for over a hundred years and hadnt been updated for a long time. Accordingly the main control room is fairly basic and much of its equipment is very crude in comparison to that back on Earth. Nevertheless, with nowhere to run to, the prison is very effective and nobody has ever escaped from it.

QIN DYNASTY CHINA
(The Emperor of Eternity)
statues of soldiers, horses and chariots to protect the Emperor in the afterlife. Ironically, Qins search for immortality is one possible cause of his death, reportedly due to ingesting mercury pills prepared by his court physicians in order to prolong his life. Qin Shi Huang died on 10th September 210BC at his palace in Saqiu prefecture. He was succeeded by the younger of his sons, Qin Er Shi, effectively a puppet emperor reliant on the sole advice of his chief eunuch Zhao Gao. Qin Er Shis rule was blighted by unrest and nationwide revolts, with the Qin army taking heavy loss of life. Once the scale of his defeats was clear, the Emperor was manipulated by Zhao Gao into committing suicide in October 207BC. Qin Er Shi was succeeded by his nephew Ziying with the reduced title of king of Qin state. Within a year, Ziying surrendered to Liu Bang, the king of Han state. The Qin Dynasty was over, but its influence was felt for hundreds of years.
Although the Qin Dynasty was very brief, it was highly significant as it was founded by the First Emperor of a newly unified China. In the Warring States Period prior to 221BC, China consisted of seven major states, each ruled by its own king, duke or marquis under the overall (but largely symbolic) rule of the kings of the Zhang Dynasty. In 238BC, Ying Zheng ascended to the throne of the state of Qin and prepared his plans for the conquest of the other six states. After conquering the final state, Qi, Ying Zheng proclaimed himself to be Qin Shi Huangdi (often shortened to Qin Shi Huang, or just Qin), the First Emperor of Qin, and founded the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shi Huang created a centralised state with 36 prefectures and its capital at Xianyang. The Emperors government was highly bureaucratic, but his reign saw a number of significant reforms, including the abolition of the landowning nobility, the standardisation of currency, weights and measures, and the introduction of an improved system of writing. The Qin army had access to the most recent weapons, transportation and tactics, allowing the Emperor to extend his territories in the north and along the coastal regions to the south as far as Hanoi. Qin also ordered the construction of a wall on the northern border, which became part of the Great Wall of China. His projects and reforms led to increased trade, improved agriculture and better military protection. But against these advances, Qins reign is also remembered as a brutal tyranny with strict censorship laws, including the burning of books and the burying alive of Confucian scholars between 213BC and 210BC. This was an attempt both to silence criticism of his rule and to restrict intellectual thought to the philosophy of legalism (obedience to the law). Qin was terrified of death and obsessed with immortality, wanting to escape the gods judgement. He employed alchemists to discover the elixir of life and sent an expedition to find the fabled Penglai Mountain, home of the Eight Immortals of legend. When the TARDIS landed in Dongjun in 210BC, the Doctor was taken prisoner by the Emperor, who believed that he knew the secret of eternal life. The Doctor discovered that perhaps even the Emperor is not beyond redemption. Despite his later obsession with immortality, Qin had ordered the construction of his own tomb early in his reign, including the Terracotta Army, a collection of around 9,000 life-sized

SKYHOME AND OCEAN FLOOR
In the mid-21st Century, the global security organisation PRISM operates from a number of bases around the world. But its headquarters is on a mobile orbital station floating high within the atmosphere and known as SKYHOME. This is similar in appearance to UNITs old airborne base, the Valiant, though SKYHOME was designed by the Sharon Consortium before it was commandeered by PRISM and is based on different technology. SKYHOME uses revolutionary anti-gravity engines to keep it aloft and is able to move around the world in response to threats and emergencies. During the war against the Myloki, PRISMs commander Colonel LeBlanc was based on board SKYHOME. Like the Valiant, SKYHOME is fitted with a series of runways, used for the launch and landing of PRISMs fighter aircraft piloted by the all-female elite team, the CHERUBS. During the worldwide economic and social collapse after the Myloki war, PRISM was downsized and became the secret organisation known as SILOET. Although SKYHOME is no longer its headquarters and has largely been abandoned, the station is still floating high in orbit though it is in a dangerous state of disrepair, urgently needing attention to prevent it from falling to its destruction. Another of PRISMs facilities is OCEAN FLOOR, an underwater base at a secret location on the seabed. OCEAN FLOOR is primarily a holding facility, intended to be used to keep any alien prisoners secure. Towards the end of the Myloki war, the unkillable Myloki puppet, Captain Karl Taylor, was captured and sealed inside 6,000 litres of specially hardened concrete within a titanium shell and held in OCEAN FLOOR. He is still there thirty years later when the Myloki again attack the Earth. Naturally, OCEAN FLOOR can only be accessed by submersible craft, including PRISMs own submarine, Manta. Within the base, the automated defences are programmed to shoot anybody
outside of the secure cells without a bar-code ID implanted in them.

TROMESIS
(The Apocalypse Mirror)
On an Earth several thousands of years into the future, the seas have risen until only one city is left: Tromesis. Built in an area where Switzerland used to be, Tromesis is a place of towering buildings so high and so close that at street level they almost blot out any sight of the sky. Outside the city, the continents have largely sunk beneath the rising tides until all that is left are isolated islands with a few small settlements. Most of the population of Earth left generations before in a mass migration to other worlds and the 4 million or so inhabitants of Tromesis are descended from those who stayed behind. Tromesis is a city built along automated lines and watched over by a government known only as the State, whose public face is a holographic image of a genial old man who speaks only slogans and propaganda. But when the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe arrive, they find the city to be falling apart with buildings crumbling and the citizens living in despair. An illness called nostalgia sickness is weeping through Tromesis, its victims seeing ghostly visions of the city as it was in better times new, clean and well-maintained, and populated by happy citizens. The State kidnaps sufferers of nostalgia sickness, sending robotic creatures called Hawkers to capture them and take them away. A small resistance tries to work against the State but they are a pathetic bunch, too paranoid to be able to decide on an effective course of action. The Hawkers resemble huge metallic birds of prey. They are constructed from metal panels held together by an electromagnetic field. They can rearrange these panels to form themselves into a cage around their target and then teleport them away. The State needs people with drive and determination and uses the Hawkers to recruit these, though the link between this type of personality and nostalgia sickness hasnt been made. The State isnt evil, just ineffectual. Its members realise that its own citizens do not trust it and they are therefore forced use these devious methods. But the State itself is under threat, its own members mysteriously vanishing one by one.

The problems with the city have been caused by a device known as the Sympathetic Engine, which was designed to feed off the inhabitants desires and change Tromesis into the ideal city. Unfortunately, the designers did not know that Tromesis was built on a temporal fault line and when the Engine was switched on, it acted to create two versions of the city, both standing in the same place. One version, the version that the TARDIS landed in, is the one in which the citizens are downbeat and pessimistic, longing for the better times from the past. As a result, their city is crumbling and rundown. The other version of Tromesis is positive, with the citizens optimism for the future creating a utopia. In the rundown version, the visions seen by sufferers of nostalgia sickness are actually of the positive version of Tromesis, not its past glory. The sickness manifests in those who start to believe that they can make a difference, that things can be made better, and once this belief is properly embedded, the sufferers make the transition to the other city, vanishing without trace from the crumbling version. Only one version of Tromesis can be dominant and this is determined by whichever version of the city has the largest population and therefore has the dominant influence on the Sympathetic Engine. When the Doctor and his companions arrive, the rundown version of Tromesis is the dominant one and is therefore where the TARDIS lands. But how can they not only work out what has happened to the city, but also devise a plan to unify it into the utopian dream that the Sympathetic Engine was intended to create in time to prevent an approaching comet from wiping out all life on Earth?

VORTIS (RHUMOS ERA)
(Twilight of the Gods)
When the 1st Doctor visited Vortis in The Web Planet, he and his companions found the planet to be a barren wilderness, stripped of vegetation by the Animus. This is not, however, its natural state, and when the 2nd Doctor returned to it with Jamie and Victoria several generations later, he found that it was once again blanketed by beautiful flower forests. Blooms on fibrous stalks the size of tree trunks hanging with gigantic blossoms of all colours form a thick canopy, partially obscuring the star-studded velvet of a perpetual night sky. The forest is filled with the background noise of countless large and oddly-shaped insects, a chorus of rustles, clicks, buzzes and hums as they flit from plant to plant. An addition to the bizarre menagerie of strange creatures indigenous to Vortis which was encountered by the TARDIS crew during this visit is the myriped, essentially a giant millipede about waist height and 5 metres long which has been domesticated by the Menoptra as a beast of burden. Vortis is covered largely by extensive land masses, but there are a number of acid seas scattered around the planet. It has few metal ores, but an abundance of isocryte. This mineral is only created under conditions of extreme atomic stress, such as when stars collide. Isocrytes subatomic structure allows it to generate counter-gravity waves when stimulated electrically, and if absorbed into the body of a living creature, it allows that creature to tap into this ability. For example, it is the concentration of isocryte in the Menoptras bodies that allow them to fly, and it was isocryte that gave the Animus the ability to draw other planetary bodies through space, providing Vortis with several new moons. In game terms, absorbing sufficient concentrations of isocryte over an extended period can provide a character with traits such as Flight, Telekinesis and even Forcefield. On this return visit, the 2nd Doctor found that Vortis had somehow moved across space, taking its moons with it, with its inhabitants kept alive by a heat source within the planet itself. It now lay in the Rhumos system. Having discovered the new world,
the warring Imperial and Republican factions of the Rhumon people had each sent expeditions to claim Vortis as their own and were enslaving the Menoptra. The TARDIS crew became embroiled in the conflict between these factions, in the process discovering that Vortis was in fact an artificial planet created as an experiment by a race of highly advanced plasma entities the same entities that the Menoptra worshipped as the Gods of Light. Vast engines are hidden below the surface of the planet, which stimulate the planets isocryte and enable it to be piloted across the galaxy by these plasma beings. It was presumably these engines which had also allowed the Zarbi Supremo to move Vortis to Earths solar system in The Lair of Zarbi Supremo (see The First Doctor Extended Universe Sourcebook).

GADGETS AND ARTEFACTS

ALLOHISTORICAL LURES
(The Wheel of Ice)
CHAPTER 5: GADGETS AND ARTEFACTS
Allohistorical lure is a catch-all term for something used by time travellers in need of assistance. It refers to an object thrown through time with the aim of changing established history and attracting the attention of would-be rescuers. It represents a promise or a signpost perhaps, sent deep into the past for best results. The intent of the lure is to draw the civilisation whose history has been changed to the time traveller, allowing them to escape from their predicament in what would seem to them to be no time (as history will have been changed so that the rescuers arrive almost immediately after the lure is sent). Naturally, because of the risks to the web of time, this practice is highly unethical and TARDISes are programmed to detect and respond to the relative continuum displacement zones which are often created as a by-product of the process. Fifty million years ago, when Arkive devised its plan to return through time to its creators, it used an allohistorical lure. By detonating a moon of Saturn, it generated enough energy to fling several small artefacts through a hole in time to attract the attention of the Silurians which it had detected on the third planet from the Sun. Only one of these artefacts survived the journey. Unfortunately, it overshot by several million years and ended up being fossilised in what would eventually become London clay. It was not excavated until the 1890s, by which time the Silurians were long gone and the humans had taken their place. The artefact was bought as a curiosity by Josephine Laws and has since been passed down the female side of the Laws family line to daughters or granddaughters on their sixteenth birthdays. Its successive owners have just called it the Amulet. For most of the time, the Amulet is dormant. But it becomes active once every third of a Saturnian year (in Earth terms, once every 9 years, 9 months, 26 days), shining like a light bulb for several minutes before becoming dormant again. During this active period, it broadcasts a powerful radio signal, strong enough to scramble any other local signals. When examined by UNIT, it was found to be broadcasting directly to Saturn. When Bootstrap, Inc. first proposed looking for minerals in the Jupiter system in the mid-21st Century, the then owner of the Amulet, Jo Laws, lobbied for them to look at Saturn instead. Jos family is a long line of Scottish engineers, and when Bootstrap detected bernalium on a minor Saturnian moonlet, Mnemosyne, she made sure she was selected to join the colony. Jo
is now Mayor of the Mnemosyne Cincture, and the allohistorical lure has done its work, albeit fifty million years late! The Amulet is a heavy polished black object, in shape something like a chunky playing card. Its latest owner is Phee Laws, teenaged daughter of Jo, who wears it as a pendant. When Phee entered the TARDIS, the Doctor noticed that it was emitting pedleron particles, a sign that it had travelled through time. THE AMULET [Minor Gadget] Traits: Transmit (Minor) Cost: 1 point
ARIMATHEA ARTEFACT
(Heart of TARDIS)
Much of the information about the device codenamed the Arimathea Artefact remains classified by the United States government. Its precise nature and appearance, for example, are unknown, as are any details of its origins. But it is known to have been acquired by the British occultist, Aleister Crowley, and used in the 1960s in the Golgotha Project, an experiment undertaken by Section Eight, a top secret US government organisation set up after the Second World War to research the military potential of magical items and rituals. Whether the Artefact was intended as the equivalent of a primary trigger of a nuclear device or as its payload is uncertain, but its function was to serve as a focal point. Key members of the population of the town of Lychburg in the American Midwest were brainwashed and implanted with superconductive transceivers, which were years ahead of their time and remained restricted technology for several more decades. The transceivers acted as channels for the force of belief of those around them. With the Section Eight operatives all removed to what was thought to be a safe distance, an image was broadcast to the Lychburg population: the image of the opening of the Gates of Hell. But the entire project had been manipulated by Aleister Crowley (who was in reality a demonic creature known as a Jarakabeth) with disastrous consequences. The Arimathea Artefact is able to manifest the beliefs of those nearby. With many of the inhabitants linked by the implanted transceivers, the device opened a dimensional gateway into a void, the radius of which kept expanding until a nuclear warhead blew the entire
G1
town out of dimensional alignment and into another reality. The Artefact reacts to the strong beliefs of those nearby, and in game terms it can duplicate the effects of any trait but only by using the Story Points of whoevers beliefs it is responding to. In the case of Lychburg, the broadcast image of the Gates of Hell resulted in the device replicating the Vortex trait. The implanted transceivers meant that the sheer number of people interacting with the Artefact kept the size of the resultant gateway increasing out of control. ARIMATHEA ARTEFACT [Special Gadget] Traits: Psychic (Special), Special Trait - Duplicate Traits (Special; limited by beliefs of those providing the Story Points to power it). Cost: 6 points
SPECIAL TRAIT - DUPLICATE TRAITS

This trait allows the use of any other published trait (limited to those officially published by Cubicle 7) but each use costs the expenditure of Story Points equal to the cost of buying that trait. In the case of traits with a continuous effect, this cost is required per Round to maintain the effect. This is in addition to any Story Point cost already included in the description of the chosen trait. Duplicate Traits itself is a Special Good Alien or Gadget Trait costing 5 points.

ADVENTURE SEEDS
As a tribute to the original stories this books concepts stem from, we here present a paraphrased version of the Publishers summary found on the back of each book/audio as if they were role-playing plot hooks. These are meant as inspiration for your own adventures, though nothing quite beats reading or listening to the original source material. For ease of reference, youll find page references to the material written-up from that story. It was not possible to include each story as a plot hook (they didnt all have usable blurbs), and for that we apologize in advance. Invasion of the Cat-People [Referemce] Earth has been invaded. Twice. Thousands of years ago by a race searching for a new power source. More recently by the galactic marauders known as the CatPeople, who intend to continue the work done by the earlier visitors, with devastating results. Your TARDISeers must team up with a group of amateur ghost-hunters and a mysterious white witch on a journey that takes them from twentieth-century Cumbria to the Arabian deserts of folklore and Australia 40,000 years in the past. Can they stop the invaders and disarm the bombs left buried beneath the planets surface, or have the ancient Aborigines of Australia sung the seeds of their own destruction? The Murder Game It is the year 2146. Answering a distress call from the dilapidated Hotel Galaxian, the TARDIS crew discover a games enthusiast is using the hotel to host a murdermystery weekend. But it seems someone from his motley group of guests is taking things a little too seriously. While your group finds itself joining in the shadowplay, it becomes clear that a real-life murderer is stalking the dark, disused corridors of the Galaxian. But worse than this: Theres a sinister force waiting silently in space for events to unfold. A terrible secret is hidden on board the Galaxian, and if it is discovered nothing - least of all murder - will ever be the same again. If this is a game, the stakes just got higher. Dying in the Sun Los Angeles, 1947: Multi-millionaire movie producer Harold Reitman has been murdered and the LAPD are convinced that drug dealer Robert Chate is the killer. Detective William Fletcher isnt so sure. He believes that one of your player characters has a stronger connection to the crime than hes letting on. While the PCs assist the police with their enquiries, Star Light Pictures are preparing to release their most eagerly anticipated movie yet, Dying in the Sun, a film that
rumours say will change the motion-picture industry for ever. Led to believe that the film holds secrets more terrifying then anyone could ever have imagined, your players may decide to do everything in their power to stop it from being released. In Hollywood, however, it is the movie studios that hold all the power... Wonderland San Francisco 1967. A place of love and peace as the hippy movement is in full swing and everyone is looking forward to the ultimate festival: the human bein. Summer, however, has lost her boyfriend, and fears him dead, destroyed by a new type of drug nicknamed Blue Moonbeam. Her only friends are your time travellers. But will any of them help Summer, and what is the strange threat posed by the Blue Moonbeams? H.M.S. TARDIS The TARDIS lands on the H.M.S. Victory during the Battle of Trafalgar. In the lull immediately before the fight with the Redoubtable, the time travellers must prove to Flag Captain Hardy they are not spies or deserters. If the GM controls the groups Time Lord, this is a good opportunity to make him or her try to change history to see how the players will react. The Time Lord might try to give Horatio Nelson specific advice to avert his death, but, in the end, Nelson dies, anyway, a tribute to historys resilience. The Roundheads It is December 1648. Although victorious over the Cavaliers in the Civil Wars, the Roundheads are struggling to retain power. Plans are afoot to spirit King Charles from his prison, and your time travellers become embroiled in the intrigue, finding themselves press-ganged and on board a mysterious ship to Amsterdam, or unwitting accomplices in the plot to rescue the King, or arrested and imprisoned in the Tower of London under suspicion of conspiracy. Can they escape their various predicaments and still ensure that history remains on its proper course? Resistance February, 1944: France is occupied by the Third Reich, the French Gestapo has an iron grip and the native resistance attempts to overthrow the invaders. On one quiet winters night, a British plane crashes to the ground, leaving a flying officer desperate to escape via the evasion lines. Separated from the TARDIS, the players find themselves with enemies on all sides. Trapped in one of the darkest times in history, they may discover that humanity can be just as dangerous as any threat from outer space.

scheduled for cremation. What are the coffin-loaders? As the end approaches, they should attempt to escape the Gathernaut. The Forbidden Time Time Walkers have descended upon the Earth. This alien race, known as The Vist, has claimed an area of time for itself any species entering into the immediate future will pay the most terrible forfeit. The human race is in a state of panic, but your players will know the truth. Theyve visited that future and have stepped into the Forbidden Time. This is their story... The Selachian Gambit The time travellers doesnt normally need money, but when the TARDIS is immobilised and a fine has to be paid, a loan from a bank in the sky seems the solution to his problem. But then the Selachians arrive, and they find themselves hostages in the middle of a heist. Death seems an absolute certainty, but your players have outwitted death before... Right? House of Cards The TARDIS has landed in a futuristic space casino, where the PCs find fun, games... and monsters everywhere. There are vicious robot dogs, snake-headed gangsters from the Sidewinder Syndicate and a mysterious masked woman called Hope. In this place, time travellers are to be tracked down and arrested. Yet, as events spiral out of control, time may be their only ally... Heart of TARDIS In the American Midwestern town of Lychburg, something is afoot. Its citizens are being killed in inexpressibly horrible and brutal ways and the police dont have a clue whos responsible. The only suspects are mysterious strangers, the TARDISeers. Whats happened to a close personal friend of one of your players, who seems to have vanished under mysterious circumstances? Dreams of Empire On a barren asteroid, the once-mighty Haddron Empire is on the brink of collapse, torn apart by civil war. The one man who might have saved it languishes in prison, his enemies planning his death and his friends plotting his escape. Landing in what seems to be a medieval castle, the time travellers discover that the final act of this drama is being played out around them. Who is the man behind the mask, and how are his chess games linked to life and death in his fortress prison? What is the secret of the suits of armour which line the banqueting hall? Who is on the battle cruiser that is getting closer all the time, and what will they want when they finally arrive? The pieces are all in place, and the TARDIS crew soon find themselves under siege. With both deadly robot troops and human traitors to defeat, it seems the future of the entire empire hangs in the balance... Combat Rock 400-year-old tribal mummies inexplicably return to life and begin murdering tourists on an exotic alien island, and of course, the TARDIS lands right in the middle of this jungle holocaust. Ferocious cannibals and deadly beasts stalk the swamps, mummies lurk
amongst the trees and the peaceful, civilised locals are reverting to long-forgotten head-hunting practices. Something is giving a clarion call to savagery, something that can only be found in the deepest darkness at the heart of the hostile rainforest. It could well be the end of the river for the TARDIS companions as they find themselves involved in a horrific jungle conflict between desperate guerrilla tribesmen and merciless colonial forces. Cannibalism could be the least of their worries as evil stirs the pot and the dead reach for the living... Twilight of the Gods The players find the Web Planet a very different world from the one they know; a world now embroiled in a bitter interplanetary war between the opposing factions of a divided race. To restore peace, they must first resolve a deadly ideological conflict, solve the paradox of the nature of life on Vortis, and finally confront the Gods of Light themselves. As the stakes are raised, can they contain the ancient terror that threatens to devastate an entire star system? The Dark Path Darkheart: A faded neutron star surrounded by dead planets. But there is life on one of these icy rocks the last enclave of the Earth Empire, frozen in the image of another time. As the rest of the galaxy enjoys the fruits of the fledgling Federation, these isolated imperials, bound to obey a forgotten ideal, harbour a dark obsession. Your time travellers arrive to find that the Federation has at last come to reintegrate this lost colony, whether they like it or not. But all is not well in the Federation camp: relations and allegiances are changing. The fierce Veltrochni angered by the murder of their kinsmen have an entirely different agenda. And someone else is manipulating the mission for his own mysterious reasons another time traveller, a suave and assured master of his work. The players must uncover the terrible secret which brought the Empire to this desolate sector, and find the source of the strange power maintaining their society. The Great Space Elevator The Great Space Elevator is a marvel of human engineering; a transit tube stretching from the equator up to a space station held in geosynchronous orbit. When the TARDIS lands in Sumatra in the future, the time travellers are captured by guards just as the station loses power. Together with Security Officer Tara Kerley, they take a one-way trip on the elevator to fix the problem, and find themselves confronted by a powerful alien force that threatens to wreak chaos on Earth... The Emperor of Eternity After colliding with a meteor in space, the TARDIS is forced to make an emergency landing on Earth. The place is China around 200 BC, during the reign of the first emperor, Qin. When the Time Lord is taken away to the imperial city, its up to the companions to save their friend, now a prisoner of Qin who intends to extract the secret of eternal life, so that he may rule the world forever...

Fear of the Daleks The TARDIS arrives on the asteroid Livonia, where plans are underway for peace talks between the human-descended Zantha Empire and Tibari Republic (whose citizens are of piscine descent). A renegade Tibari scientist, Atrekar, kidnaps the time travellers; he has identified their intelligence, and means to use them in his mind projector machine, which uses Dalek technology. Atrekar has allied himself with the Daleks, and plans to use one of the companions to assassinate the Tibari President and thwart the peace talks. The Daleks, for their part, are planning to use Atrekars mind projector to conquer the galaxy. The Colony of Lies According to popular legend, the great humanitarian Stewart Ransom founded the Independent Earth Colony on Axista Four in the year 2439, but the truth is not as neat and simple as the legend would suggest... The year is 2539. Arriving on Axista Four, the time travellers find the colony in a state of chaos.
