SEASON TWO: THE STORY SO FAR

As a result of his forced regeneration in Oxley Woods on Earth in the early 1970s, the Doctor found himself in a universe where the causal reality was in a state of temporal flux. Knowing that he was missing something, the Doctor left Earth and UNIT to deal with it’s own problems, and returned to his travels in an attempt to seek out the one responsible for his premature regeneration.

On his first stop, the Doctor arrived back on Earth in the year 2001, in an American city called Portland. It was there that the Doctor got his first glimpse of the altering universe - he could only watch as parts of Portland vanished to be replaced by the new reality. Only one good thing came of that journey. The Doctor was able to rescue the life of one Bradley Nathaniel DeMars.

The Doctor and Brad travelled together for half a year, seeing more and more of the universe being rewritten, before they came across the Millennium People and some answers. The Doctor learned of how his Third incarnation should have lived on, helping UNIT and Earth out. The Doctor also discovered that the man responsible for the new universe was a future incarnation of his old friend, Koschei. Known now as the Master. The Master tracked the Doctor down to the Forum world, but was eaten by the paradox vultures, the Dommervoy - a mysterious life form that had been following the Doctor since the moment he had left Earth in the 1970s. Brad also learned a few things on Forum world. He was supposed to have died in Portland 2001, and as a result he lived on as a paradox himself. More importantly, the Faceless One (one of the Millennium People) informed Brad that a dark future awaits him. Following that adventure the Millennium People gave the Doctor a paradox tracker; a device that would lead him on the trail of the paradoxes caused by the formation of the new universe. The Doctor’s new mission was to somehow restore the universe to the way it ought to be. A mission Brad was very against.

After several more adventures the Doctor and Brad arrived on Nova Mondas in the year 2101. There they came across the final formation of the new universe. A universe where Earth had become the base planet of the Cybermen in 2003. On Nova Mondas the Doctor teamed up with the Bloke (one of the Millennium People) to find another of the Millennium People (the Scholar) and Brad, who had gone missing. Unknown to either the Doctor or the Bloke, the Scholar was converted into the vessel for the new validium based Cyber Controller. Shortly thereafter they found the dead body of Brad, who had been killed in an explosion in one of the Cyber factories. The Doctor had no choice but to leave Brad’s body behind, and escaped from Nova Mondas with the Bloke as his new companion. For reasons not quite known, both the Bloke and the Scholar (before he became the Cyber Controller) found themselves becoming human.

Finally the TARDIS brought the time travellers to the planet Ossobos in the year 2501. In a tragic turn of events the Doctor was only able to save a handful of passengers on a mono-train (including the orphaned Taurean child, Falex), but it cost him his TARDIS. Using the paradox tracker, the Doctor, the Bloke and Falex went to Alpha Centauri (the heart of the Federation) where they witnessed the Doctor's true future being killed off. The Faceless One returned and killed the Seventh and Eighth Doctors, and the White Guardian. Only Ace was left alive, although all her memories were wiped as a result. The Bloke was sent back to Forum world to witness the true meaning of chaos, while the Faceless One revealed himself to be Brad. The explanations followed when Brad took the Doctor on a tour of the last half a year.

Bradley Nathaniel DeMars had indeed died in 2001, and since then the Dommervoy had been using his body to join the Doctor on his travels to track down the paradoxes caused by the formation of the new universe. The Dommervoy were revealed to be the personification of order in the new universe, while the Millennium People are chaos. The Dommervoy had transferred only one agent of chaos into order (the Faceless One), while at the same time saving at least two others (the Bloke and the Scholar), turning one into a human and the other into a Cyberman. The Dommervoy told the Doctor that he would be stranded in 2501, where he and the Bloke have an important role to play in the Federation. The peace of the future depends on it. To save the Doctor from the guilt that he feels over the death of Brad, the Dommervoy give the Doctor new memories of Brad's deathless departure, since if they ever meet again the Doctor will not remember the Dommervoy as Brad.

The Doctor and the Bloke are reunited on Alpha Centauri, and set off to meet their future, but first they needed to pick up Falex...
