29th January 2023 Writings

 29th

 

Excerpt from: Mystery Incorporated in Lawndale

“So, what sort of band is the Spiral anyway?” Shaggy asked.

 

“Grunge.”

 

“Interesting. I haven’t listened to much of that. My sound is more, classic rock.”

 

“That’s cool,” Trent said as he stepped off the stairs.

 

 

Jane emerged into the attic. She shone the flashlight around. “Coast is clear,” she said.

 

Fred followed her up. “Cool! But there is a lot of junk here.”

 

“Yes. If there are people here, they’re not in the attic. I can’t hear anyone.”

 

“We still have to move around, look for clues.”

 

“Of course.”

 

 

Daria looked into another bedroom. Empty. It was as bare as the other room. “We’re not getting anywhere here,” she said.

 

“It tells me something,” Velma said.

 

“Which is?”

 

“That there aren’t all that many people living here.”

 

“Only one or two?” Daria asked.

 

“Yes,” Velma said.

 

“I agree,” Daphne said as she came up to the other two.

Excerpt from: Sixteenth Doctor Adventures

She had an idea. It was risky, but what else was new? She accessed a program unused since the Time War.

 

The TARDIS gave a sound of uncertainty.

 

“I don’t have much choice,” the Doctor said and she twirled a pigtail.

 

The TARDIS seemed to calm and the screen said TARDIS External Electromagnetic Pulse online.

 

‘Now, I don’t want it to affect the town, just the building,’ the Doctor thought and she laid in the parameters for the pulse.

 

After a few moments, she and the TARDIS were ready.

 

“Now!” she said as she pressed a key.

 

 

Anyone directly outside the TARDIS (and looking at the Police Box exterior) would have been blinded by the flash from the lamp that ensued.

 

 

Xavier was still struggling against the drones when they suddenly sparked and stopped working. “Huh?” Not one to look the gift horse in the mouth, he then ran off.

 

 

Pulse complete, the screen said. ‘Of course, Xavier could be anywhere,’ the Doctor thought. She directed the scanner to scan outside and saw that the approaching UNIT forces were unaffected. ‘Good.’ She grabbed the sonic and left to search for Xavier.

 

 

Xavier saw that whatever was generating the illusions was also deactivated. He came to the elevator and that it was out of commission also. “Of course!” he said, He would have to use the stairs, but at least the TARDIS was on a lower level. ‘But which one?’

 

 

The Doctor started climbing the stairs. ‘Xavier was on the top floor, but he might be looking for the TARDIS on a lower floor…’ She knew there was a chance that they could miss each other.
