'''''Time Flies''''' was the second story in the audio anthology ''[[Seabird One (audio anthology)|Seabird One]]'', produced by [[Big Finish Productions]]. It was written by [[Alison Winter]] and featured [[Angela Bruce]] as [[Winifred Bambera|Brigadier Bambera]] and [[Alex Jordan]] as [[Jean-Paul Savarin|Sergeant Savarin]] and introduced [[Yemisi Oyinloye]] as [[Louise Rix]]. | '''''Time Flies''''' was the second story in the audio anthology ''[[Seabird One (audio anthology)|Seabird One]]'', produced by [[Big Finish Productions]].

Rix looks at Dr Andrews' files and tries to find the [[nectar]] re-sequence code whilst Savarin has electrified containment panels placed around the facility and begins destroying the caterpillars with [[flamethrower]]s. Bambera and Savarin head to [[Compsham]] upon learning that five-hundred chrysalises have been moved by [[Tyfield Tech]] and Rix looks for Dr Grange. She finds him and learns that he was married to [[Marjorie Gower]], who died from [[cancer]], and that he has created butterflies which will carry the re-sequencing code. The chrysalises at Tyfield are in a loop of growth and reversal. | Rix looks at Dr Andrews' files and tries to find the [[nectar]] re-sequence code whilst Savarin has electrified containment panels placed around the facility and begins destroying the caterpillars with [[flamethrower]]s.

A butterfly escapes and erases a [[plant]] before Savarin shoots it and calls [[Eyrie Nine]] to have the shipment incinerated. Bambera finds an [[Amrak]] disk and Dr Grange's initials on the invoice, so she and Savarin quickly return to the CSRF. Rix has survived an attack from a butterfly, which is too big to fly, and knocked Dr Grange out before tying him up. She reverses the re-sequence and synthesises a new nectar which she, Bambera and Savarin add to the flowers for the bees, which spread the nectar and restore the caterpillars to butterflies. | ||
Dr Grange has awoken and is to be locked up for his unethical experiments, but he asks Bambera to use the re-sequence code, which he calls "Marjorie", when she needs to. She promises him that it will be destroyed, however, and he commits suicide by allowing himself to be bitten by a remaining caterpillar. Afterwards, Bambera gets a call and tells Savarin and Rix that they have to go to the [[British Library]]. | |||
