Secrets of Time Lord Victorious was an ongoing story which was distributed in the Doctor Who newsletter during the Time Lord Victorious event. The story took the form of a series of messages from a Data Worm to its owner, with the messages giving additional information related to concepts seen in other stories in Time Lord Victorious.
Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
A Data Worm breaks into the Archive of Islos to dig up the secrets of the Dark Times. The Archivians detect the Data Worm and trap it in the Archive's systems, but it still finds a way to keep on sending messages out. It sends messages to its owner concerning what it's learned about the barrier stopping time travellers from visiting the Dark Times, the Kotturuh, the Great Vampires, the Lesser Order of Oberon, Mordeela, the Hond, and the Record of Rassilon.
After things start "kicking off" on Islos, the Worm interfaces with a Dalek Battle Computer and discovers that the Dalek Emperor has a secret plan that the Doctor doesn't know about. The Data Worm learns more about the Dalek Emperors, and is taken to Mechanus during the battle there, where it learns about the Mechanoids.
