| '''''Earth Aid''''' was a release in [[The Lost Stories]] range, featuring the [[Seventh Doctor]].
| | == == |
| == Publisher's summary == | |
| Welcome aboard the Space Vessel ''Vancouver''. Its mission: to guard a vast shipment of [[grain]] from [[Earth]] to the planet [[Safenesthome]].
| |
| | |
| Its Captain is called [[Ace]]. She seems a little unsure of herself. In fact, some might almost think she was new to the job...
| |
| | |
| Its medical officer is called simply "The Doctor", and he’s perhaps not all he seems.
| |
| | |
| When mysterious ships target the ''Vancouver'', Ace and the Doctor are pushed to the limit. Meanwhile, there's something nasty in the grain containers. And it's not very happy....

| == Notes ==
| |
| * Raine Creevy is based on Raine Cunningham, the companion who was intended to come after Ace in the unproduced season 27. A feature in [[DWM 255]] gave the character the name Kate Tollinger, but according to an interview with script editor [[Andrew Cartmel]] in [[DWM 433]], the character was always intended to be named Raine. Cartmel had since discovered someone of the name Raine Cunningham existed in real life and changed the character's family name.
