'''Chessene o' the Franzine Grig''' was an [[Androgum]] [[chatelaine]] whom [[Joinson Dastari]] augmented to become a [[genius]]. She orchestrated a plan to liberate her people and conquer [[the universe]] using [[time travel]], but she was killed when she attempted to use the [[Kartz-Reimer module]].
 
== Biography ==
== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Chessene belonged to the [[Franzine Grig]], which had [[blood]]-ties to the [[Quawncing Grig]], and considered herself to be of sacred blood and a noble history. She worked as a [[chatelaine]] aboard [[Space Station Camera]] and was used by [[Joinson Dastari]] in his experiments, being subject to nine technological augmentation which made her an [[Androgum-T.A.]] of mega-[[genius]] level and made her unrecognisable as an [[Androgum]]. She stopped using her [[karm name]], spent days in the station's [[databank]]s and gained [[telepathy|the power to read both living and dead minds]]. However, she assured [[Shockeye o' the Quawncing Grig|Shockeye]] that she remembered her history whilst looking towards the future.
Chessene was the station chatelaine. She was also a subject of [[Dastari]]'s experimental augmentations, which made her humanoid. After becoming augmented, Chessene displayed vast intelligence and gained [[telepathy|the power to read both living and dead minds]]. Her rough Androgum features softened to human-like in appearance, but she retained her savage Androgum instincts and urges, with both the [[Second Doctor|Second]] and [[Sixth Doctor]]s recognizing the danger she posed even as Dastari dismissed their concerns, considering her his greatest work.


=== Later life ===
Chessene was the [[brain]] behind [[Kartz]] and [[Reimer]]'s experiments into [[time travel]] and deduced that the [[Kartz-Reimer module]] required a [[Time Lord]]'s [[symbiotic nuclei]]. Devising a plan to use it to liberate her people and dominate [[the universe]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (TV story)}}) she thoroughly researched [[Sontaran]] psychology ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (novelisation)}}) and suggested that she, Dastari and Shockeye form an [[alliance]] with [[Stike|Group Marshal Stike]] to capture [[the Doctor]], kill everyone aboard the space station to frame the [[Time Lord]]s and isolate the Doctor's symbiotic nuclei. They succeeded in capturing the [[Second Doctor]], although she allowed [[Jamie McCrimmon]] to remain on the station, and took him to [[Andalusia]] where they were followed by the [[Sixth Doctor]], Jamie and [[Peri Brown]].
Chessene made a plan to gain a time machine through experimentation on [[Time Lord]]s. She made an agreement with a group of Sontarans who promptly arrived on Camera and killed everyone apart from her, Dastari and fellow Androgum [[Shockeye of the Quawncing Grig]]. They also failed to kill the Doctor's companion [[Jamie McCrimmon]], who was able to hide on the station until he was rescued by the [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Peri Brown]] when they arrived at the station later. Chessene travelled to [[Spain]] where they used the captive [[Second Doctor]] to search for the ability of time travel which she and Dastari believed was located in a Time Lord's Symbiotic nuclei. Chessene killed the Sontarans with [[coronic acid]] when they were no further use.  


She changed the plan so the Doctor would be turned into an Androgum and tell her where his symbiotic nuclei was located, as well as allowing her to use him as her consort. When the Doctor escaped with Shockeye, Chessene followed him into the town area and eventually found them, but by that point the artificial augmentation had worn off and the Doctor had been rescued by another Time Lord (unknown to Chessene, his sixth incarnation). Although she attempted to force them to finish the [[Kartz-Reimer module]], the future Doctor was able to trick them by creating a link that would only allow the machine to work once.  
Upon learning of the Sixth Doctor's presence, Chessene attacked Stike and [[Varl|Major Varl]] with [[coronic acid]] and had Dastari use Shockeye's genetic material to turn the Second Doctor into an Androgum to become her consort to save time. The plan failed due to Shockeye releasing the Second Doctor and she ordered Dastari to kill the Sixth Doctor after he claimed to have put his print into the [[briode nebuliser]], but he saw her succumb to her urge to drink the Time Lord's spilt blood and realised he had made a mistake. When he turned against her, Chessene killed him and attempted to use the Kartz-Reimer module to enact her plans, but it exploded as the nebuliser was a ruse. She reverted to her original form in death. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (TV story)}})

When Chessene fell to the ground to lick up a fallen sample of Time Lord blood after Shockeye wounded him in a fight, Dastari was forced to recognise the truth of the Doctors' earlier warnings that Chessene's fundamental nature remained unchanged, prompting him to release the captive Second Doctor and Peri. Outraged at his betrayal, Chessene killed Dastari, but was subsequently disarmed by Jamie. She attempted to escape in the module, but it exploded when she tried to dematerialise, killing her. In death she returned to her normal Androgum form. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors]]'')

This topic might have a better name.

Chessene, as Shockeye makes a point of the fact she no longer uses her karm name, or Chessene o' the Franzine Grig, as her karm name is spelt in the novelisation

Talk about it here.

Chessene o' the Franzine Grig was an Androgum chatelaine whom Joinson Dastari augmented to become a genius. She orchestrated a plan to liberate her people and conquer the universe using time travel, but she was killed when she attempted to use the Kartz-Reimer module.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

Chessene belonged to the Franzine Grig, which had blood-ties to the Quawncing Grig, and considered herself to be of sacred blood and a noble history. She worked as a chatelaine aboard Space Station Camera and was used by Joinson Dastari in his experiments, being subject to nine technological augmentation which made her an Androgum-T.A. of mega-genius level and made her unrecognisable as an Androgum. She stopped using her karm name, spent days in the station's databanks and gained the power to read both living and dead minds. However, she assured Shockeye that she remembered her history whilst looking towards the future.

Chessene was the brain behind Kartz and Reimer's experiments into time travel and deduced that the Kartz-Reimer module required a Time Lord's symbiotic nuclei. Devising a plan to use it to liberate her people and dominate the universe, (TV: The Two Doctors [+]Loading...["The Two Doctors (TV story)"]) she thoroughly researched Sontaran psychology (PROSE: The Two Doctors [+]Loading...["The Two Doctors (novelisation)"]) and suggested that she, Dastari and Shockeye form an alliance with Group Marshal Stike to capture the Doctor, kill everyone aboard the space station to frame the Time Lords and isolate the Doctor's symbiotic nuclei. They succeeded in capturing the Second Doctor, although she allowed Jamie McCrimmon to remain on the station, and took him to Andalusia where they were followed by the Sixth Doctor, Jamie and Peri Brown.

Upon learning of the Sixth Doctor's presence, Chessene attacked Stike and Major Varl with coronic acid and had Dastari use Shockeye's genetic material to turn the Second Doctor into an Androgum to become her consort to save time. The plan failed due to Shockeye releasing the Second Doctor and she ordered Dastari to kill the Sixth Doctor after he claimed to have put his print into the briode nebuliser, but he saw her succumb to her urge to drink the Time Lord's spilt blood and realised he had made a mistake. When he turned against her, Chessene killed him and attempted to use the Kartz-Reimer module to enact her plans, but it exploded as the nebuliser was a ruse. She reverted to her original form in death. (TV: The Two Doctors [+]Loading...["The Two Doctors (TV story)"])

Personality[[edit] | [edit source]]

Chessene retained her savage Androgum instincts and urges, with both the Second and Sixth Doctors recognising the danger she posed even as Dastari dismissed their concerns, considering her his greatest work. (TV: The Two Doctors [+]Loading...["The Two Doctors (TV story)"])

Appearance[[edit] | [edit source]]

As part of her augmentation, Chessene's forehead and jawline were modified to make her more attractive whilst also looking strong. She had short, jet-black hair, square white teeth and long lashes and her dark but shining eyes were especially striking. She was tall and wore a gown with a silver cord around her waist on which she kept her electronic passkeys. (PROSE: The Two Doctors [+]Loading...["The Two Doctors (novelisation)"])
