Subject experiencing traumatic, violent delusions during waking moments. Subject 2660 Celia Fortunaté, designated citizen of the needle. And the leader of the Club? None other than Dashwood, who seems determined to achieve congressional power by the most malevolent means at his disposal… Amnesiac, she is working as a hostess at the local chapter of the Hell Fire Club, populated by local dignitaries who have summoned forth the demon Marchosias. One of the patients there interests the Brigadier - someone who claims he travels through space and time in something called a TARDIS.Ĭharley, however, has more than a few problems of her own. One of Dashwood’s other roles in society is as patron of a new medical institute, concentrating on curing the ills of the human mind. There he encounters the charismatic Brigham Elisha Dashwood III, an evangelical statesman running for Governor who may not be quite as clean-cut and wholesome as he makes out. After his successful involvement with Scotland’s devolution, Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart has been invited over to Malebolgia to offer some of his experiences and expertise. The twenty-first century has just begun, and Malebolgia is enjoying its status as the newest state in America. This gang consists of Legs (the sexy comedian), Dog Boy (providing protection and firepower), Shortie (handling logistics), Da Trowel (in charge of excavation and history) and their leader, Doc (busy making sure the universe isn't destroyed in an explosion that makes the Big Bang look like a damp squib).Īnd when someone accidentally reawakens the Ancients of the Universe - which, Doc reckons, wasn't the wisest or best-judged of actions - things get a whole lot more complicated. Finally imagine everyone's dismay when they are followed by a bunch of con artists out to spring their greatest grift yet. Imagine their fear as Cyrrus "the mobster" Globb, Professor Horace Jaanson and an alien assassin called Kik arrive to claim the glowing pyramid. Imagine their shock as a massive pyramid now sits beside the Harbour Bridge, inconveniently blocking Port Jackson and glowing with energy. Imagine everyone's surprise when a time portal opens up in Sydney Cove.
Then, to her horror, she realises that the Cybermen have used cold logic to predict exactly what the humans will do in order to survive.Ĭhristmas 2015, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. That includes all the men, women and children who live there.Īs the Doctor once again battles his old enemies, Sarah rallies the trapped and terrified people. Patiently, implacably, the Cybermen are determined to conquer the base and its resources. Out here in the depths of the alien sea, it's the first indication of a looming disaster. The lights on the base keep flickering, which back home on Earth was the first sign that her bathroom was leaking.
Left to her own devices, Sarah Jane Smith conducts her own investigation. But others have recognised the value of the sea base, and their interest is not so benign. The Doctor is only too eager to help them find new ways to counter pollution and produce entirely clean energy - research that he says will benefit the whole galaxy. In the depths of the ocean on an alien world, there's a city run by scientists.
