    Doctor Who: Armageddon Factor

    DOCTOR WHO AND THE ARMAGEDDON FACTOR By TERRANCE DICKS Based on the BBC television serial by Bob Baker and Dave Martin by arrangement with the British Broadcasting Corporation 1 The Vanishing Planet 'Atrios!' said the Doctor. 'Do you know, I've never been to Atrios.' Romana looked up from the TARDIS's control console. 'What about Zeos?' 'Where?' 'Zeos, its twin. "Atrios and Zeos are twin planets at the edge of the helical galaxy." Didn't they teach you anything at the Academy?' 'But we're not going to Zeos!' protested the Doctor. 'No, we're going to Atrios.' 'Well, what are we hanging about for? Why don't you get on with it?' Romana's hands moved skillfully over the controls. 'Atrios, here we come! I wonder what it's like?' The wandering Time Lord known as the Doctor and Romana his Time Lady companion, were nearing the end of a long and dangerous quest. Some time ago, the White Guardian, one of the most powerful beings in the cosmos had set them a vital task - to find and reassemble the six fragments of the Key to Time. Long ago the Key had been divided, and the segments scattered to the far corners of the cosmos. Now the Key was needed again, to enable the White Guardian to correct a state of temporal imbalance which was threatening the universe, and frustrate the schemes of the evil Black Guardian. The Doctor's task was complicated by the fact that the segments of the Key had a number of mysterious powers, including that of transmutation.

  • Doctor Who: Ribos Operation

    Doctor Who: Ribos Operation

    DOCTOR WHO AND THE RIBOS OPERATION By IAN MARTER Based on the BBC television serial The Ribos Operation by Robert Holmes by arrangement with the British Broadcasting Corporation Chapter 1 Unwelcome Strangers The tall loose-limbed figure, clad in voluminous shirt-sleeves and baggy tweed trousers tucked into creaking leather boots, strode around the faintly humming chamber. His nose was buried in an enormous tattered chart which he held up in front of his face with long, outstretched arms. From time to time he stopped in mid-stride and muttered unintelligibly to himself before setting off again, deep in thought, in the opposite direction. Suddenly the chart flew out of his hands. He uttered a short bellow of pain and hopped about clutching an injured knee, his movements grotesquely reflected in the polished metal walls surrounding him. Then he stood still and glared at the hexagonal control console which pulsed and flashed in the centre of the chamber. Cant you look where youre going? he cried, with a resentful frown. He picked up the chart and spread it out over the mass of switches, buttons, dials and lights which covered the buzzing console. Smoothing the crackling, curling edges with large, careful hands he pored over the maze of faded patterns printed on the thick, brittle paper. As he bent forward with a frown of intense concentration, his rugged features were dramatically illuminated in the fluorescent glow spilling over them. Suddenly his eyes opened wide and he fixed a spot on the chart with a piercing stare. Thats the place... he cried, straightening up and ruffling his shock of curly brown hair with both hands.

For instance, some immortals Recommend Supervisor » seem to have died at least once but often reappear momentarily in a new revitalized incarnation; especially common amongst mythological characters (gods, goddesses, angels, demons, etc.). Deities, in fact, tend to be consistently immortal and are completely resistant to death and deterioration (e.g., Marvel Comics' Thor, Greek Gods, etc.). These beings are both functionally immortal and invulnerable and merely give the appearance of being slain for a temporary time before rematerializing.

Fog and filthy air swirled around the building and from the dark recesses between the shrine’s limestone columns emerged three figures. They wore robes of corvine black and voluminous hoods of the same shade, which obscured their faces. As they entered the circular inner sanctum, a swarm of hazy, two- dimensional images appeared and began thronging around them. The pictures were varied, each depicting a different scene.
