Doctor Who!? Escape: Thirty-Six
Two 11.1[12]{37}

The helpful 'alien intelligence' had waited seemingly for ever but admitted to itself that subjectivity played a big part in its perception of passing of time.

It had spent much energy, and carried out a great clever scheme, had played the part of a helpful very alien intelligence. It had, very long ago, drawn the Everlords to that poor pitiful world just as it had others before them, including the Satroa, before them. Only the very original species, of the world that it had come to, had eluded it and had vanished to somewhere that it could not even discover the nature of. It told itself that this did not matter but it was still enraged by that 'trickery'.

It had the Timelord known as the 'Doctor' except that it very well knew there was much more to the Doctor than even the Timelord knew even though he was of the grand Timesages of the Timelord Academy of Gallifrey.

The very alien intelligence brooded as it continued to set the stage for a great conflict. The violence, aggression, fear and other intense emotions would feed its power and then it would capture the Doctor and learn once and for all a secret that would free it from its own doom. It cared nothing for anybody, anything, but itself. It had infested the Everlords so incredibly long ago and had misdirected the Timewarlords. It had helped the Timelords gain their knowledge of timespace dynamics. It had helped to create the insane war of Skaro.

It cared nothing for the immense suffering that it had caused, had helped to cause.

It cared only to escape from its vastly ancient curse that was somehow linked to the almost ageless true destiny of the Doctor.

Doctor Who!? Escape: Thirty-Seven
Two 12.1[13]{38}

Remotes, robots, androids, and other tech was sent to assist the new Free Alliance of the Doctor and his allies; this included remoterobots that were half way between being remotes and true robots. More importantly there were autorobotic service network-systems, sent by modular form on remote carrier vehicles, being then set up inside the DocTARDIS but also outside of it in more mobile ways. The SCSN had sent its first reinforcements even as it prepared a second lot for sending.

From the SCSN protected sanctuaries came power armoured humans, other humanoids, along with cyborged humans. Animans were hybrid animal humans.

Then they came as a great swarm of many multiple form entities, all being linked almost as one entity, coming with wings, legs, tentacles or other means. Thus came one great okihorda, one of the very original native peoples that the 'malicious alien intelligence' had failed to enslave or destroy. The okihordi, more than one okihorda, had hidden in the very twixt dimensions of the base fabric of the world's structure. Being unfamiliar to the very alien intelligence, it had not even known enough to seek out the okihordi there. In twixt dimensional terms, it had hidden in front of the great exotic enemy.

Wide spread conflict was approaching fast but first came a few more other events.

Doctor Who!? Escape: Thirty-Eight

They were a secret Timelord force unknown to most Timelords from the Doctor's version of Gallifrey. They were the Timefators, a name whose origin was lost to history but which was linked to very ancient, very dark, times. The Timefators had the one, and only, fully functional StealthTARDIS from their world; there were two others but they were not functional though both were being fixed up, as fast as was possible, in case they were needed in future.

They slipped past monstrous battlestars, and an even more massive warstar that was among them, that were blasting away at a fleet of dalek saucerships. They detected a TARDIS, of an unknown faction, not realising it was the fake TARDIS of the Multiversal Timespace Guardians. The Timespace Guardians easily detected the reality of the StealthTARDIS and the Timefators. They subtly assisted the StealthTARDIS to reach the surface of the target world.

The StealthTARDIS, in the outer form of a sleek black saucer, shot through the atmosphere above the gleaming roof of one of the massive megacities that Terran colonists (invaders) had constructed. It was strangely quiet for a place that had once bustled with air traffic of many thousands of flying machines. Monorail trains, like silvery metallic worms, no longer slid silently along raised monorailways. Yet there was some activity by remotes, robots and androids such as some that were busy fighting a fire that had broken out thanks to an area being both abandoned and neglected.

The StealthTARDIS vanished, with a sparkling shimmer, as it chanced a spacial jump deeper into the megacity below it.

Wastelands-R-Us Corporation announces a 100 year closing down sale of refined, sophisticated, goods and services to help you survive in the Wastelands.

As our glorious mentor, Harry the Maimed, stated from his hospital bed, there ain't no better experts in Wastelands survival than us lot. If our stuff don't help you survive, then it don't matter cause you won't be around to complain or to demand a refund.

We sell finest quality stuff as field tested by Harry himself, at least they will be when he gets out of hospital.

Why worry about high levels of radiation when we can provide you with a rads detector that never shows you enough radiation to worry you (because they are all broken)?

We have ethical based guns that never cause philosophical concerns because they never hurt anything (again because they are all broken).

We have mutated slime jelly foodbars that last forever (because nobody can eat them and even ghouls reject them).

We have a fine android companion named Fifi LaLovely who will make your life in the Wastelands a fascinating one (and any refuted link between her and the infamous android serial killer Fifi LaBloody is just a lie cooked up by our competitors).

Doctor Who!? Escape: Thirty-Nine

There were skirmishes fought between the two main alliances even as the Timewarlords joined the alliance of the Timemasters, Imperial Daleks and then began to dominate it. The Everlords did not join the fray at first, exhausted from the now ended conflict with the Timewarlords. They rested, rebuilt their numbers, and observed what was going on as much as they could.

​Skirmishes were scattered, fleeting, and most often unintentional as both sides sent out reconnaissance units. The SCSN's units ended up battling smaller, faster, units of its enemies. The SCSN did much gathering of data for its own alliance and it began to salvage as many resources as it could for the war effort and to safeguard the sanctuaries.

A mostly 'cold war phase' began and was to last a far few days as all forces prepared for what was to come.

It was not a situation that the Doctor wanted to see happen, wanted to be part of, and TiSuzane was of the same mind.

As it was there were others coming into the DocTARDIS to be safer there, to help create a secure home base. Even the SCSN was moving more of its network-systems into the DocTARDIS. While the idea made sense, on many levels, it also made that TARDIS more of a target and thus more vulnerable.

There was a kind of logic, in relation to what was happening in general, that led the Everlords to end up becoming followers of the 'ancient alien intelligence'.

They knelt before in in fear, and awe, in distorted humanoid forms that were each both unique and very big. The went down on one knee and lowered their heads. The great alien intelligence did not consider this enough of a show of obedience; in that great shadow chamber, vastly ancient as it was and very alien in a grotesque manner, the 100 plus Everlords were forced to lie on their armoured bellies; this was humiliation for them but also a strong warning that while they were very powerful, it was far more so.

The ancient intelligence revealed its identity and the Everlords knew even greater fear for this was no less than the changed Evergod of their own ancient history. Once they had served it and then abandoned it even as it was hurled into the eternal Nullvoid by forces even more powerful than itself. This was the Evergod but it was weaker than it had been so long ago.

It was at that moment that the Everlords discovered, with horror and amazement, that their being on that world was no accident for the Evergod had drawn them there; it had tricked them, manipulated them, and they had not even known it. The Everlords were dismayed to realize that they were in the same trap that they had been in so very long ago or perhaps they had never escaped from it.

Here ends Story Two with Story Three starting when Doctor Who: Escape!? is returned to in future.

The British Imperial Special Security Agency airship was joined by a smaller Watchguardia airship, that was still fairly large, and the two collectively did another sweep of the area where the tramp-steamer sank. Which was where the two vessels, being fairly close to each other, both spotted the great metallic stone structure that rose out of water where there had only been open waters before. The structure was near impossible to miss, being truly massive with huge globular substructure merging into the great cubic tower. It was like an unnatural mountain rising from deep waters.

This was an astounding event for all known ancient alien artefacts, of such nature, were usually hidden underground and there were relatively few of them.

Only one had been found, deep on the ocean floor of the Pacific, but its location had been lost due to unfortunate circumstances. The diving expedition ship, that had found the location, had vanished after sending a scrambled radio message to the nearest ships. The damaged communications attempt had contained no clear map coordinates. The reason for the radio interference, and the vanishing, were never discovered.

At the top of the great cubic tower was a flat square area surrounded by a wall. The square area was easily big enough to take both airships. Yet it was decided that no such landing would be risked until the BISSA ships arrived, which would be in about five hours. Radio communications, with the command vessel of that fleet, was instigated and valuable information was exchanged. The British Imperial Airnavy had dispatched two general purpose airships to assist the expedition, including two platoons of soldiers, being elite British Imperial Paratroopers.

Despite having many observers in action, neither airship spotted the strange periscope poking up out of the ocean that appeared to be made of a kind of glistening, translucent, hardened jelly like substance. It's scope end was panning side to side and tilting up and down as it did so. It moved easily with the ocean waves that were of moderate roughness.

Captain Nemo, stood in the bridge cabin of the great super-submarine the NSS Nautilus that moved with amazing speed, grace and quietness for a 'boat' of its kind. The cabin's utilities, fittings, furnishings and decorations were mostly of the same elegant brass, steel, wood, glass and even silver make; all was expensive and elegantly practical in design. Bare breasted mermaids, with dolphin like tails, were bronze statues in wall alcoves between displays of captured naval, pirate, whaler, and other flags. Nemo truly hated whalers as he truly loved whales. Most items on display were more easily identified but some were harder so and a very few were most mysterious to view.

Nemo was amused that many naval people insisted that any submarine be called a 'boat' despite that there were a few huge examples around the world, at least two being much bigger than his own. Handsome and charismatic, Nemo was one of those who preferred to call super sized submarines 'ships', as were certain Imperial Naval people of the big empires along with corporate people and submarine specialists.

Right now he was focused on the strange blips that his power submarine sensors, sonar and scanners were showing up.

He spoke to the crew, who were carefully harnessed into special armoured chairs as he was, in that big sophisticated bridge cabin. "We have run into three more of those comet-projectile creatures. We must be careful to not antagonise them. The other two blips appear to be those of whales, one bigger than the other. The five appear to be heading in a formation and if I am not mistaken the tentacle creatures seem to be protective of the whales; question is, along with many unanswered questions, what are they protecting the whales from?"

For Nemo, and his oceanic loving family and followers, the exotic entities' protection of the whales gave them much kudos.

No answers were forth coming at that moment. Nemo made a decision as the huge, sleek, super-submarine slowed and began to carefully follow the five creatures at a distance. He wanted to know where they were going and why they were heading deeper into a zone of many disappearances and other mysteries.
