Absolute Power was the two hundred and nineteenth story in Big Finish's monthly range.
Publisher's summary
Two thousand years ago, all civilisation on the planet Teymah was wiped out in an AELE – an Anomalous Extinction Level Event. Now, the galactic entrepreneur Lyam Yce hopes, at last, to learn the reason why the ancient Teymahrians went extinct – by funding a huge archaeological dig.
While the Doctor probes a strange sphere found by Yce's diggers, his companion, former Bletchley Park cryptographer Constance Clarke, agrees to help translate symbols written in the lost ancient language of the Teymahrians. And soon, they'll learn that ancient Teymah's secrets were best left buried deep beneath its shifting sands...

References
- Sontaran scout vessels are considerably smaller than nine metres in diameter.
- The TARDIS says the year is approximately 3319, which the Doctor explains is the Earth equivalent of "2190-ish," with the A.E.L.E taking place around 1300.
- The Ninexie reproduce by electromitosis. Their homeworld is in Galaxy Three.
- Wrechon Four, also in Galaxy Three, fought the nine-hundred year war against the Ninexie. The clean-up crew, if not the entire race, is known as the genocide squad.
- The Doctor and Constance cancel the destruct sequence of the category nine destruction rig.
Notes
- This audio drama was recorded on 31 March and 1 June 2016 at The Moat Studios.
- If the AELE took place around 1300, then 2000 years later would put the story around 3319, making the Doctor's "2190-ish" explanation seem odd.
Continuity
- The Doctor asks the Ninexie if they're related to the Nix. (AUDIO: The Waters of Amsterdam)
- The Ninexie populate planets by acting like gods and manipulating civilisations, similar to the Nimon. (TV: The Horns of Nimon)
- Constance mentions Strellin. (AUDIO: Order of the Daleks)
- The Cloister Bell sounds. (TV: Logopolis)
- The TARDIS mentions the HADS as a clue to the Doctor. (TV: The Krotons)
- The Doctor returns to the power room, remembering that it used to be closer to the console room; (TV: The Mind Robber) it looks like an industrial cathedral, reminiscent of the dynormorphic generators. (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel)
