Doctor Who!? Escape: Twenty-Six
Two 1.1[1]{26}

 

So it came down to the fact that somehow the DocTARDIS had not escaped from the Timelords' home world of Gallifrey but had gone into its very distant path. Or was that the true story?

 

The Doctor, his granddaughter, and others did a sweeping deep diagnostics on the DocTARDIS to rediscover fully what had happened during the desperate escape 'timespace flight' from Gallifrey. It became clear that somehow, at some timespace point, they had they flicked across to an alternate universe. Yet even that was not a final answer for sometimes alternate universes, that is 'viable' ones, were created as separate strands splitting away from one another but sometimes blended back together. Such matters were both extremely complicated and subtle.

 

The DocTARDIS had 'struck' a timespace vortexual anomaly, a shifting self contradicting pattern of an evolving paradox. That discovery was to lead to a further disturbing one that they were in a pocket alternate existence, that is not a full alternate universe but just a version of ancient Gallifrey and the solar system that it was based in.

 

Some very big, demanding, questions arose and the answers were not easily forth coming though there were growing numbers of clues, perhaps too many of them for at least some might be distractions from any real leads.

Doctor Who!? Escape: Twenty-Seven
Two 2.1[2]{27}

 

TiSuzane was the one to leave the DocTARDIS the second time. She, Kellite, and four other cyborgs went with six Timelord androids plus four carrier robots filled with extra equipment-supplies, mainly supplies. Each robot was also an armoured-armed fighting machine with raygun equipped turrets, one each. They all had special equipment, including the robots.

 

The expedition was a short one but tricky in nature. The team threaded through hallways, up rampway corridors, avoiding the possible entrapment of elevators and other such enclosed forms of transport. Anyway most such network-systems were either semiactive or inactive. They came upon areas of death and destruction, mostly destruction, but the majority areas were simply abandoned.

 

The chamber, that TiSuzane was seeking, was linked to a particular project of the complex. Sophisticated, classified, data flowed down to it from a big array-tower, disguised as a special communications tower, linked to a large geostationary satellite above. This was linked to other geostationary satellites encircling the world. Each of the big satellites was a big array of powerful telescopes, radio telescopes, scan-scopes, sensors, and other devices.

 

The Timelord hacked into the network-systems easily enough and soon downloaded both archived data, and more recent data. She analysed more recent stuff and was soon understanding why her grandfather though it urgent that she get the data. It confirmed what he feared, what Timelordic technologies had already picked up.

 

They were not just in a pocket alternate solar system but it was one with blended features that made it a seemingly impossible reality. Skaro of the daleks, Terra of the OldEarth, Mondos of the cybermen and other worlds were there that were supposed to be very far apart, in universal terms, in different solar systems and sometimes in different galaxies. The worlds also came from different universal ages. Then there were other puzzles that needed to be studied in the DocTARDIS.

 

The team was soon on its way back to the TARDIS.

Doctor Who!? Escape: Twenty-Eight
Two 3.1[3]{28}

 

Ogrons had been upgraded, turned into power armoured cyborgs with cybernetic implants to make them less stupid. They fired off blaster-rifles at the stream of deadly tiny destroyers shooting through the air. Daleks hovered above the metal floor firing off disintegrator pulses of energy. Some of the deadly tiny things were destroyed but quickly replaced. Robomen, also power armoured with cybernetics but much more than the ogrons, operated more sophisticated weapons than those of the ogrons but less so than those of the daleks. Robomen were cloned humans but the ogrons were also cloned as were the dalek creatures.

 

As much as daleks could feel anything, they were not happy. A cloned, cybernetic enhanced, version of Davros had assisted the daleks to create defensive energy shields that drove off the monstrous Timelord super weapon to some extent. Yet it kept striking. A dalek was hurled through the air and crashed off a wall, hit the floor and lay still while the creature was healed and the machine was repaired.

 

A dalek operated hovertank hummed into the great big chamber and fired off a weapon of spinning energy pulsegun barrels. It had some better effects on the enemy but not much more.

 

The daleks began to withdraw, taking ogrons and robomen with them along with some non fighting carrier robots. Many valuable resources had been destroyed and contact had been lost with the home world of Skaro. On (that version of) Skaro the daleks were battling against an alliance of mutated psionic empowered Thals and genetically engineered Kaled supersoldiers. Former enemies had realised that Davros' creations were more dangerous to them than they were to each other.

 

SuperDavros, the new improved version of Davros, was the key to finding power super weapons in that complex and the daleks using them against enemies that had turned to out be just as ruthless, cunning, and brilliant as they were.

Two 4.1[4]{29}

 

Timemasters were caught, finding that their various timespacecraft could not depart from the solar system. Having lost far too many valuable resources, the Timemasters gathered together what they could. Their forces of zaleks, dalek like entities, had been halved but their own numbers were cut to one third of what they had been. They still had a few cyborg-clones, robots, and androids but hardly a big army.

 

When they discovered a sealed up, semiactive, industrial complex they took it over and were soon manufacturing more basic types of robotic gear to improve their chances of taking on other factions, along with the terrible threats found in the big secret research development complex. Being autorobotic, the complex mass produced many items.

 

The Timemasters had begun to suspect the presence of Timeguardians but also of other Timelords, perhaps factionless rogues like the Rani, the TimeMeddler, the Master, the TimeTinkerer, and others. There were also small, rogue, Timelordic factions such as the Timegypsies, the Timecarnival, the Galligunners and others.

 

The Timemasters were oblivious of the greater threats that they faced but they were not the only faction who were so.

Doctor Who!? Escape: Twenty-Nine
Zero 2.1[2]{29}

 

Timespace Guardians entered the target solar system with unexpected difficulty to find it had transformed in a surprising, disturbing, manner. They had expected a star orbited by 18 planets but found themselves in a solar system with 734 planets along with a multitude of other celestial bodies; a few worlds were exotic enough not to be classed as planets or even as moons.

 

The fake TARDIS materialised close to the NewEarth only to find that it was surrounded by a multiple set of distortion fields of timespace and relative dimensions. They could breakthrough to materialise down on the planet but it would take at least some days, by local time standards; this was frustrating but unavoidable if they were to get to the target world safely.

 

A fleet of huge dalek spacetime saucers approached the world from the planet Skaro, or at least the version of it currently in that star system. Chasing it were massive battlestars of the Thal Kaled Alliance.

Two 5.1[5]{30}

 

They came to the DocTARDIS as a surprise to the Doctor and his granddaughter. They were led by a figure oddly like, and unlike, the Doctor being a female version of himself known generally as the 'Professor'. With her was her grandson, a Timelord named TiShane who looked like a male version of TiSuzane. With them came Timeguardians, Timelordites being Timelord Followers, Timelord robots and androids, odd dalek zalek like telaks.

 

There were other surprises such as three versions of the Timelord Romana, all female, who came from one future possibility for the Doctor and the Professor. There were local humans, mostly refugees, about half being 'twisted' to at least some extent but all being treated fairly. About a fifth of the local humans were fighters, some being cyborgs but most being non cyborgs in power armour.

 

They came in a convoy of hover, wheeled, and tracked vehicles with big hover, wheeled, and tracked robots moving with them.

 

It was to be only the first of surprise groups to be guided to the DocTARDIS by a mysterious intelligence, a mysterious entity, that appeared to be friendly to them all.

Doctor Who!? Escape: Thirty-One
Two 6.1[6]{31}

 

Microbot tentacles smashed at the mass of writhing organic tentacles, twisted before birth on that world, twisted again after it, each alien tentacle smashing back at the microbots. The great cyborg figures stood to one side of the vast transdimensional chamber, 'bigger inside than out and multiple reflected in dimensional terms'. They had once been ancient Timelords, as were their ancient traditional enemies. They were Timewarlords who once created many of the terrible super weapons used during the Timelordic Dark Times. They had been largely destroyed by Rassilon, and his faction, and the survivors had been forced to flee.

 

The Timewarlords had planned to return to their Gallifrey with a great super armada with new technologies able to get beyond even Rassilon's time distortion trickeries and doom weapons. But something had gone terribly wrong. Their WarTARDIS, and BattleTARDISes, had been drawn into a timespace trap of that distorting star system, to that strange NewEarth Gallifrey world. At first they had blamed Rassilon but had come to increasingly doubt that as the cause.

 

The great tentacles were creations of the original inhabitants of the world but those were not the three as one that humans had met; those pathetic three as one had been but servant soldiers workers of the real lords of that world. Those were the mysterious Everlords who secrets one day Rassilon, and other preTimelords, would steal to help create the power of the once human Timelords. But there, then, there were some of them in the far distance as terrible floating things of glistening octopus like flesh globes with many tentacles holding many strange, terrible, looking devices.

 

Timewarlords were in amazing energy and power armour, held multiple purpose instrumentalities or portable super-weapons. They were surrounded by hundreds of elite Timelordnor soldiers in superpower armour.

 

This was a war but not one like the conflict with Rassilon; they had lost that very suddenly when supposed allies had betrayed them out of fear of Rassilon. That is they had stopped fearing the Timewarlords so much and started fearing Rassilon and the Timesagelordss more. This time they were very slowly, steadily, losing the war against the mysterious enemy of whose appearance was solid illusion only.

 

Complications had arisen with other Timelordic factions, and rogues, appearing on the world. There were also others more known and others less known. The 'Doctor', who might not even know his own true identity and nature, had appeared along with other unwanted surprises such as the Rani and the Master. Who, what, would come next? Would Rassilon himself arrive, impossibly, from his mysterious vanishment?

 

The great tentacles included to battle one another, making it too dangerous for other forces to join the fray for the time being. They fought almost mindlessly, brutally, with not even the concept of mercy let alone with mercy, and only with the goal of destroying the other. They battled with the power to reduce mighty stardreadnauts to scraps, no bigger than dust, in mere seconds.

Keep it up Graham. I'm on the edge of your writing universe now, looking in.

 

After seeing the related Wiki's to the Doctor Who stories I am beginning to grasp more of what you are writing. I caught the series on DirecTV when Tom Baker was the Doctor. I was tuned in for every show after that. I liked how Historical bits of the past, I had read about, were neatly packaged into the show. I expressly like the times when the histories rang true with the news and then the shows facts, added in, caused me to think about other possibilities and gave my knowledge of history a new refreshing pose for me to muse about.
