 == Plot ==
-''to be added''
+[[One (The Taking of Planet 5)|A young child]] living in Mictlan learns about the "[[The Void|Invisible Ocean]]" and meets [[Hermit (The Taking of Planet 5)|a hermit]] (an outcast from [[Celestis]] society) who teaches him about the mysteries of existence, such as the [[Swimmer (species)|Swimmers]] and "universes in a bowl of gruel".
+=== Chapter One ===
+A platoon of investigators from the [[United Nations]] scout the ruins a million-year old alien base in the [[South Pole]]. As they descend into their base, one of their member (a man named [[Thomas Jessup]] with psychic/empathic powers that are quite negatively attuned to the environment of the ruins) gets dragged by another member named [[McCarthy (The Taking of Planet 5)|McCarthy]] towards an alien being that has been found within the ruins.
+Ostensibly as a brief "pit stop", [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]] visits the Second Wallachian Exhibition - though it soon becomes clear that he has one exhibit in mind - Professor Mildeo Twisknadine's Wandering Museum of the Verifiyably Phantas-magoric (a museum of things that don't exist) in the hopes that he can use it to find more evidence of the Observe and eventually return to it. After being invited in by [[Mildeo Twisknadine|Professor Mildeo]], the Doctor is sidetracked after he discovers that Mildeo has made a model of [[Planet 5]] (which definetly exists). He soon discovers a rather shocking revelation, that someone verified the existence of the "[[Elder Thing|Antarctic Elder Things]]".
+A soldier named [[Xenaria]] prepares for battle in a polar base through biological morphing alongside her platoon.
+=== Chapter Two ===
+In the Wandering Museum, the Doctor examines the evidence for the Elder Things' existence - this being video from "Project Icepack", the [[UNIT]] expedition into the ancient Antarctic base. After watching this, the Doctor decides to travel to the base while it was still inhabited.
+In [[Buenos Aires]], a UNIT scientific adviser named [[Homunculette|Nathaniel Hume]] appears at a UNIT base in a rather anomalous way and is sent to help out Project Icepack. Deep within the base, the creature ejects a seemingly human woman from its confines and then blasts radiation into the atmosphere - which hits Hume's helicopter and causes it to crash.
+=== Chapter Three ===
+Hume manages to survive the crash (being the only survivor of the crash) and is found by a medic. Hume tries to convince the medic to leave Antarctica, leading the medic to strangle Hume.
+Xenaria's platoon lands on the [[Prehistory|prehistoric]] tropical jungles of Antarctica and immediately begins wiping out the Elder Things inhabiting the nearby city. Inside of [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], the Doctor deduces that an odd artefact he saw in the Icepack footage was created by the Celestis. Immediately after the Doctor and company arrive, one of the platoon fires a [[parallel cannon]].
+In the Celestis' hellscape home of Mictlan, one of the Houses vanishes completely and leaves behind absolutely no trace.
+=== Chapter Four ===
+Using the parallel cannon, Xenaria's soldiers cut into the base and kill numerous Elder Things. Xenaria justifies the use of such a powerful weapon to [[Allopta]] (her more cautious subordinate) by stating that it was the only weapon that could cut through the walls of the base. After the Doctor and [[Fitz Kreiner|his compa]][[Compassion V|nions]] get up from where they jumped down due to the sudden burst of the cannon, they walk towards the base (after the Doctor states that everything in the local area is most likely based off of fiction). They are found by a young soldier named [[Ayworl]], whom the Doctor is able to bluff into believing that he is a General.
+Hume is saved from being strangled to death by a nurse who shoots his assailant in the head. He is mostly unaware of this, as he is preoccupied by the sheer feeling of emptiness and despair emanating from the dig. Once he recovers, Hume views the creature found within the base on a vidlink. Unusually, it seems that Hume is aware of exactly what the creature is.
+=== Chapter Five ===
+The Doctor introduces himself to Xenaria and explains his companions as temporal canaries indicating damage to the local timestream. He actively avoids learning about the identity of the Enemy, though he does hear that something related to them has the name "Rep". The Doctor and his companions are soon languishing in humanoid lodgings within the base, where the Doctor reveals that Xenaria and her fellow soldiers are far-future Time Lords fighting in a mysterious war he first learned about from his time spent at the auction for the Relic.
+The Celestis send out investigators (specifically Invesitgators "[[One (The Taking of Planet 5)|One]]" and "[[Two (The Taking of Planet 5)|Two]]") to discover what happened to the missing Lord and his House. They first reassemble and dissasemble his family of cybernetic beings, though this brings up nothing.
+Professor Hume is soon met on the ice by [[Mary Schneider|Schneider]]. He is able to convince her to bring him to the mysterious girl. While in Hume's company, the girl wakes up and talks with Hume - seemingly having met him before.
+=== Chapter Six ===
+Allopta and Xenaria discuss the "General", with the two coming to the conclusion that the appearance of a high-ranking figure means that something big has happened in the war front - that or an [[The Enemy|Enemy]] agent is able to take the form of a Time Lord, something that is shot down rather quickly. Xenaria then begins preparations for the real mission - an expedition to Planet 5. Meanwhile, the Doctor and his companions try to figure out what the Enemy could be.
+In a square in the ancient [[Greece|Greek]] city of [[Corinth]], Investigators One and Two hunt down one of the last survivors of [[Atlantis]] and rather viscerally probe his memories.
+Hume and Jessup discuss what the creature in the base could actually be, with Hume "deducing" that it is a [[time machine]] with its occupant being a "concerned time traveller".
+=== Chapter Seven ===
+A younger Time Lord named [[Holsred]] from the [[House of RedLooms|House of Redloom]] visits the Doctor seeking to gain the honour of a General. From Holsred, the Doctor learns the real mission of the Time Lords - a suicide mission to Planet 5.
+The Investigators travel to [[Tulloch Moor]] as [[The Borad|a creature]] from [[Karfel]] falls out of a time tunnel. One probes the creature's memories and almost succumbs to the raw hatred in the heart of the Borad before he blasts the creature's brains out. The Investigators then travel to Antarctica and discover the ancient base of the Elder Things. As One flits inside of its internal dimensions (becoming two-dimensional), Two briefly thinks to kill him (due to her Investigator instincts to kill any possible threat, as she has been briefed that One could be a threat) but is able to ignore it long enough to join One inside of the base and grab one of the Elder Things.
+=== Chapters Eight and Nine ===
+Realising that his cover might be blown soon, the Doctor decides to leave the base right before Xenaria walks into the room he is in. As the trio walks through the base, the Doctor points out the [[Cosmic Background Radiation]] in the sky. While the Doctor and companions make their way through the base, the Investigators probe the memories of the dead Elder Thing - who is revealed to be Allopta - and mesh his memories into their own minds.
+Hume tries to convince the UNIT forces to keep radio silent - citing the threat of cultural collapse from the existence of Elder Things being proved (though during this, he briefly hints that he isn't human through a Freudian slip). To get further proof of the Elder Things' existence, the members of the expedition enter into the girl's room and find that the girl is missing.
+After finding the Doctor missing, Xenaria activates the base's defenses using a flow of [[microwave]]s. As the Doctor and company walk through the base, Compassion and the Doctor find themselves falling victim to the psychic influence of the base. Using her earpiece, Compassion feels the defences of the base being activated and the three split up. Fitz is captured by Holsred while Compassion is cornered by two Time Lords but manages to activate the defenses of the base and use it against them. The Doctor is captured and Xenaria is about to have him executed but is stopped by "Allopta" (actually one of the Investigators taking the form of Allopta) who takes the Doctor to be interrogated.
+=== Chapter Ten and Interlude: The Eighth Gallifrey ===
+"Allopta" (actually Investigator One) straps the Doctor to a torture device called the "[[Black Stone]]" which is vaguely related to the [[Ogri]] and tries to interrogate the Doctor. The Doctor purposefully stalls by talking about linguistics despite the extreme agony caused by the Black Stone. Exasperated, Investigator One begins directly probing the Doctor's mind.
+As the Doctor is being interrogated with agony, Fitz is interrogated by Investigator Two - who sheds the disguise of Allopta for the form of a beautiful woman and tries to seduce Fitz. This is watched by Compassion, who sees the form of Allopta. Investigator Two's seduction is interrupted by a scream of pure agony.
+In the eighth of the [[Nine Gallifreys]], a Time Lord veteran named Homunculette is sent by the [[The War King|Lord President]] on a mission to the same planet as Xenaria during the "[[Humanian Era]]".
+=== Chapter Eleven ===
+The scream of agony actually comes from Investigator One - a visceral reaction to the knowledge of Swimmers held within the Doctor's mind. Due to the link between One and Two, both of them are incapacitated. As such, Fitz realises what his interrogator "actually" (though Two still keeps the form of Allopta) is right as Holsred enters. Shortly after the Doctor unhooks himself from the Black Stone, a Time Lord named [[Ostrev]] enters into the room and gets shredded by the psychotic One.
+While flying down the corridors, Holsred finds Compassion. Compassion keeps Holsred from killing her by convincing him that "Allopta" is actually a fake and Fitz meets back up with the Doctor. The two then begin looking for something they can use against the Celestis.
+While under the effects of the anti-psychotic, [[Ferdinand (The Taking of Planet 5)|Ferdinand]] finds the girl walking down the corridors towards the time machine.
+=== Chapters Twelve, Thirteen, and Fourteen ===
+The Doctor finds [[Ur-box|an artefact]] he saw in the Icepack video footage, something that was actually created by the Celestis and that proves that the entire Elder Thing base was created with ulterior motives. The Doctor intends to use it to "unmake" the fictional situation to make the Time Lords more susceptible to his demands but he discovers that its "core" (presumably a copy of [[H. P. Lovecraft|Lovecraft]]'s [[At the Mountains of Madness]]) has been consumed.
+Two finds the psychotic One and brings him back to sanity. The two begin discussing what One saw in the Doctor's mind (revealing that One is most likely the child from the Prologue). Meanwhile, Xenaria finds the corpse of Ostrev and Ferdinand catches up to the girl.
+Fitz and the Doctor look for Compassion while the Doctor talks about how he escaped being tortured to death and Holsred and Compassion make their way to the [[TARDIS cradle|TARDIS Cradles]]. While the two are at the Cradles, Compassion falls into them. Meanwhile, Investigators One and Two discuss the threat of the Doctor. After Two discusses "removing" the Doctor, One attacks Two and the two Investigators fight to the death. Their battle is briefly seen by Xenaria before they shift into the future - where One bashes in Two's head while watched over by Ferdinand. After bashing in Two's head, One promises to "save the universe and commit genocide".
+After Compassion falls into the TARDIS Cradles, she communes with the TARDISes within and psyches them into revolting against their masters.
+Ferdinand examines the "corpse" of Two, which awakens and then beheads him. One returns to the past and morphs himself back into the form of Allopta, adding battle scars to avoid Xenaria's anger.
+=== Chapter Fifteen and Interlude: The Shores of Hell ===
+The TARDISes begin to revolt - breaking out of their moorings, killing several Time Lords, and nearly unleashing [[Artron energy]] - right before the Doctor and Fitz enter into the Cradles. They watch as one of the Time Lords ([[Tachon]]) gets nearly killed by a [[TARDIS]] in the form of a [[sphinx]] which suctions Compassion into its bowels. The Doctor warns Compassion to make sure that the TARDISes avoid Planet 5 before Tachon fires a [[D-Mat gun]] right before he is slain by the reverting spatial dimensions and the TARDIS that swallowed Compassion dematerialises.
+"Allopta" reunites with Xenaria right as she learns about the revolt. Xenaria makes her way to the Cradles after the dematerialising TARDIS and finds the Doctor and Fitz. She tries to have the Doctor executed but is stopped by her troops' minds succumbing to the effects of the Ur-Box. "Allopta" tries to interrogate the Doctor but the Doctor demands that Xenaria executes him.
+Investigator Two lapses from the psychotic state she briefly entered and (in her brain damaged state) resolves to kill every humanoid she can find in the blind hope that she finds the Doctor. While walking down the corridors, McCarthy (an archaeologist in the Icepack expedition) trips over Ferdinand's corpse.
+Seeking his advice, [[Smoking Mirror|Lord Smoking Mirror]] visits the hermit. The hermit gives cryptic advice about the fall of Mictlan and then kills Lord Smoking Mirror using a [[metabomb]].
+=== Chapter Sixteen ===
+Hume learns from the girl - who is Compassion - that the time machine is a TARDIS (presumably the TARDIS that swallowed Compassion). The two decide to blow up the base to stop the Time Lords from discovering said TARDIS and deciding to sterilise the Earth. They are interrupted by McCarthy calling on a radio after finding Ferdinand's body. During this call, McCarthy is seemingly attacked but assures the people on the other end that she just tripped on a cord. Compassion and Hume leave their geodesic and find Schneider dragging Ferdinand's body away. Hume does a brief autopsy on the body and everyone present (including Jessup and McCarthy) begin talking. During these talks, Compassion mentions the TARDIS - causing "McCarthy" to run off and reveal herself to be Investigator Two in disguise.
+Meanwhile, "Allopta" gets ready to kill Xenaria right before the real Allopta's body falls through the roof after a pocket of space-time shatters. Investigator One tells the Doctor that he must enter into the shattered remains of the TARDIS left behind in the Cradles before he attacks Xenaria.
+=== Chapter Seventeen and Eighteen ===
+After the TARDIS dematerialises, Investigator Two sabotages the lights and the assembled members of Icepack enter into the chamber that once held the TARDIS. Two, seeking a way out of the base back to Mictlan, claims that she will hunt Hume down in the darkness but Hume fires a [[Flare|magnesium flare]] into the room.
+As Investigator One and Xenaria fight, The Doctor enters into the TARDIS remains - causing the TARDIS in the future to dematerialise. Holsred makes a plan to save the Doctor by taking control of the Doctor's TARDIS and using it to follow the trail of the Cradle-TARDISes. As the Doctor floats through [[Time Vortex|the Vortex]], he sees images of the [[Image of the Fendahl (TV story)|last time]] that the [[Fendahl]] was unleashed onto Earth. He decides to injure himself to make the Cradle-TARDISes recognise him as their pilot. This leads to the TARDISes revert to their original orders - to ram into the [[time loop]] around Planet 5 and "unlock" it, unleashing the Fendahl. To stop them, the Doctor first tries to activate their [[Hostile Action Displacement System|HADS systems]] and then psychically connects himself with the TARDIS he is inside. The wrathful TARDISes start to turn but one of their number collides with Planet 5 - dying as the time loop is broken.
+Investigator One stops fighting with Xenaria to show her his plan coming to fruition. From within the mirror-like ruins of the sphinx-TARDIS, they see a creature emerging from Planet 5. Instead of the Fendahl it is a [[Memeovore]] - a creature that consumes perception (and language) itself - that evolved to eat the Fendahl. One gloats about the Memovore as it causes mass chaos (such as creating the odd languages of the [[Delphon (species)|Delphons]] and [[Tersuran]]s and making a human colony world refuse to believe in circles). One then reveals why he has unleashed the Memeovore - to save the universe from being destroyed by the Swimmers (which he is extremely paranoid about) due to the presence of a time-active civilisation. Xenaria initially thinks that this is the Time Lords, it is revealed to be the Celestis - who get consumed by the Memeovore. While One is distracted, Xenaria shoots him with a parallel cannon but he survives this. Xenaria realises that the only way to destroy One is to use the breeding engines in the TARDIS Cradles as a weapon.
+=== Chapter Nineteen ===
+With Fitz on his back, Holsred flies through the jungles of Antarctica until he finds the TARDIS. They attach the piece of the Sphinx TARDIS into the Doctor's TARDIS. Meanwhile, Compassion and Hume run from the temporarily-blinded Two and find the Ur-box. Hume tries to use the Ur-box against Two, which causes her to briefly jump in and out of phase alongside Hume. Fitz and Holsred then arrive, with Holsred challenging Two to a brawl. Two brutally kills Holsred and then goes back to attacking Hume. Using instructions from Hume, Fitz reverses the Ur-box and causes Investigator Two to become a pulp magazine.
+After gaining the TARDIS's trust, the Doctor uses them as a scalpel to cut off Mictlan - and by extension, the Memeovore - from reality entirely. The TARDIS that the Doctor is in then begins to die due to the strain, its last dying action being to activate its [[fast return switch]].
+The breeding engine has no effect on Investigator One and he simply destroys it before taking Xenaria with him outside of the base. As One gloats about his accomplishment, Xenaria summons her soldiers and has them blast One with all of their [[staser]]s. Though this seemingly kills him, One survives and attacks Xenaria - blinding her in one eye - before departing.
+=== Chapter Twenty and Epilogue ===
+The Doctor is marooned in the [[Asteroid belt|Asteroid Belt]] (where Planet 5 once sat) and kept alive by a fountain within the dying TARDIS. He is found by Fitz and Compassion within the TARDIS and is rescued using ropes and spacesuits. After recovering from the effects of the vacuum, the Doctor examines the worlds fed on by the Memeovore and finds that they have largely healed. As the Doctor takes these trips, Compassion dreams of the freed TARDISes.
+Seeing that there is nothing more to be done, "Hume" (actually Homunculette) speaks with his [[Type 103|Type 103 TARDIS]] [[Marie (Alien Bodies)|Marie]] and has her pick him up after he collects the various Celestis artefacts left behind.
+Investigator One - taking a human form but unable to keep his form due to the damage from the staser blasts - meets with the hermit near a [[Nevada]] town. The hermit is proud with the actions of his pupil and has him trigger a regeneration through a shotgun blast so that he can mingle with the townspeople.
