Summary

The Threshold have kidnapped four of the Doctor's former (and one current) companions, using them for their employer's benefit; the Lobri - a creation of the human unconsciousness, feeding on fear. They intend to destroy the unconscious link between humans. They are stopped, but at what cost?

Plot

to be added

Characters

References

Individuals

  • The Threshold neuro-lock Susan.
  • Peri is tortured to get the most fear out of her.
  • Susan Foreman recognises the Doctor as her grandfather.
  • Susan can't be sent to the Lobri's realm because she isn't human.
  • Ace attacks the Lobri single-handedly with the Doctor's umbrella and a can of Nitro-9. She is blown up and apparently killed, destroying one of the Lobri.
  • The Doctor places mental blocks on Peri and Sarah's minds of the events.

Timeline

Organisations

  • The Threshold's motto is 'Just around the corner'.
  • The Threshold are surprised initially that the Doctor isn't human (they kidnapped Susan in 1963, knowing she was connected to the Doctor, but not that she was an alien).

Psychic energy

  • Ace, Sarah, and Peri are sent to a 'collective unconsciousness'; a place of pure psionic energy, only humans can survive there.

Species

  • The Threshold's clients are called the Lobri, they feed off of primal emotions; fear and hatred.

TARDIS

  • The Doctor links the Threshold's ring to the TARDIS's trans-reality navi-systems.
  • As the TARDIS breaks through the collective unconsciousness, it starts to break apart, the cloister bell begins to ring, the Doctor tells Susan to refocus the force-field prisms.
  • After the TARDIS's journey into the collective unconsciousness, the Doctor tells Susan to re-establish the tertiary navi-links.
  • The Doctor lands the TARDIS inside the Lobri, the safety interlocks would have prevented this, had they been functioning.

Time Lords

  • Susan says (in a monologue) that her people can see beyond the 'facades' (various regenerations).

Weapons

  • Ace uses her Nitro-9 to dispatch several of the Lobri.

Notes

  • The first part of this comic starts with three inset panel from the last part of this comic.
  • It seems that Ace dies in this comic.
  • This comic can be viewed as the first alteration to the timeline which is resolved in DWM: The Glorious Dead.

Continuity

  • Sarah was taken by the Threshold in DWM: Black Destiny.
  • Peri was taken by the Threshold in DWM: the Curse of the Scarab.
  • Ace continued to live in PROSE: Set Piece.
  • The Seventh Doctor is wearing the same outfit he is wearing in TV: Doctor Who (1996), the console room and the rest of the TARDIS is heavily damaged during this story, seemingly setting up for the changes seen in the TV movie.
