'''''Setting Stone''''' was the eighth story in the ''[[Bernice Summerfield (series)|Bernice Summerfield]]'' anthology ''[[A Life of Surprises (anthology)|A Life of Surprises]]''. It was written by [[Mark Stevens]]. | |||
== Plot == | |||
[[Bernice Summerfield|Benny]] goes with [[Joseph (Steal from the World)|Joseph]] and [[Adrian Wall|Adrian]] to [[planet (Setting Stone)|a seemingly uninhabited planet]] to investigate a series of ruins. They meet [[Nina (Setting Stone)|Nina]], a young girl who takes Benny to a [[courtyard]] of hundreds of [[statue]]s whilst Adrian takes their [[spacecraft]] into orbit due to the planet's conditions. | |||
Benny learns that the statues were once the family and supporters of a cruel [[Emperor (Setting Stone)|Emperor]] who usurped power in the name of the common people. He was defeated and his supporters turned to stone by a weapon supplied to the [[rebel]]s by a race of [[alien]]s brought to the planet by [[Seventh Doctor|a man]] and a woman who travelled in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|a blue box]]. Centuries have passed since then and the statues have used their collective mental energy to restore the Emperor's daughter long enough to share their story with Benny. Benny apologises and Nina turns to stone once more. | |||
