ImageDOCTOR WHO: THE GALLIFREYAN RECOMMENCEMENT BY SCOTT MARSHALL

The Doctor's having a bad day. Not only has his power capacitor overloaded, but he's been sitting on a temporal fault-line for several weeks, and no-one has bothered to tell him. But that's not his biggest problem.

Paul's having a bad day. Not only has he been sent on his first Field Correction on his own, but he's managed to run into the most famous of all renegade Time Lords -- the Doctor. But that's not his biggest problem.

Chloe's having a bad day. Not only is the Doctor refusing to get into the holiday mood, but there are hippies wearing only red and green paint dancing around the streets of Blackpool. But that's not her biggest problem.

From the depths of time, an old enemy of the Doctor's returns. And this time, he wants to kill the Doctor -- completely, totally, and utterly, and he's prepared to go to any measures to achieve his goal.

It's no-one's day today.

"Doctor? Doctor, are you there? Doctor, please! I don't know where I am. I need help."

It is true to say that the life I lead is a hectic one, fraught with incident and excitement. So, every once in a while, it's nice to be able to look forward to a little peace and tranquility at the end of the day. Not so for me today.

First, there was the power drain in the Tardis. (Tardis? Seems like home, at any rate.) Not that it was a major problem, mind you. After all, she is an old ship, and some routine maintenance wouldn't necessarily go astray.

No, it's what happened during the power drain that caused me some... shall we say "personal relationship issues". I can't seem to recall all the details. The best I can draw from the recesses of my restless mind is the faint memory of a children's word game. But I keep feeling, as I remember that moment, an evil force casting its shadow over the proceedings. Worrying indeed.

One other memory remains, though it is far more indistinct than the last. I was arguing with my travelling companion, Thomas Caldwell. He doesn't seem to be around anymore, which is why I am putting out this general plea for information. You see, it seems I'm stuck here in this powerless Tardis, without memory of recent events and without anybody to fill in the gaps.

But the biggest question remains unasked: just who am I? I hope somebody can tell me, because I really have no idea what the answer is.
