Mercy Mission! was a short story printed in TV Century 21 that contained elements from the Doctor Who universe. Framed as the front page of an in-universe periodical, the titular article made reference to the Thunderbirds comic story City of Doom, which was a crossover with the DWU.

Summary

The scientists within Project City wait for the automatic time locks on the city's doors to open, which will expose them to the deadly radiation lying outside. Meanwhile, International Rescue fight against time in order to save the unknowing scientists before their two hours are up. Virgil and Brains stand by at the danger zone while Thunderbird 3 brings vital cargo from base, with the latest bulletin from Tracy Island indicating that the craft will arrive at the dropping zone with roughly one hour and ten minutes left before the doors open. Jeff Tracy holds a short interview with TV 21 at the same time this is happening, telling the publication that he and his team would be fully operational inside two weeks despite the loss of both the Mole and the Domo during the mission.

Elsewhere, in Paris, the "most ultra-modern" conference centre in the world is officially opened. TV 21 dubs the Centre a "marvel of modern building construction" and notes a full report on the subject is available on page four of the magazine.
