'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' | '''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was the first story of ''[[The Many Lives of Doctor Who]]'', published in [[2018 (releases)|2018]]. | ||
== | == Plot == | ||
''to | After a bout of exploring the bowels of [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], [[Ian Chesterton]] arrives back in the [[TARDIS control room]], gushing over the ship's interior dimensions before the ship materialises on a new planet. | ||
Arriving, [[Susan Foreman|Susan]] runs off as always, heading down a path. Digging into the ground, Ian pulls free a [[Pathicol]] skull, a race that, like many in the galaxy, the [[First Doctor]] knew nothing about, even if he often acted otherwise. | |||
Though [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]] theorizes that the path is a sacrificial site, the Doctor is quick to deduce that the path honours the dead, with its position facing the sunrise marking rebirth and renewal. | |||
And as a [[Time Lord]], of all beings, should know, life depends on change and renewal. | |||
