Collateral Victim was the third audio story in the audio anthology Allegiance, the thirteenth series of Gallifrey. It was written by Alfie Shaw and featured Louise Jameson as Leela, Carolyn Pickles as Ollistra, Chris Jarman as Rasmus and Beth Chalmers as Veklin.
Publisher's summary
Rasmus, Leela and Veklin are despatched into dangerous territory: a place where time itself is in tatters. One TARDIS and its crew has already been lost - will the Norvis system claim another?
Plot
Ollistra summons Leela and Rasmus to the War Room and informs them of Bandar's disappearance during a successful mission to remove the Norvis galaxy from time to prevent the Daleks manufacturing temporal weapons there. Additionally, the planet Mellacron has somehow returned from the removed galaxy and Leela, Rasmus and Veklin are tasked with investigating it, but they are separated from their TARDIS as it pilots itself down to the planet from orbit and they are teleported to a library five centuries later than expected. From Ephra, a native soldier, they learn that Bandar has helped the development of Clarca, a country now at war with Daxland.
Ephra leaves the disturbed war correspondent Sorn behind to take Leela, Rasmus and Veklin to the battlefield where a TARDIS is constantly changing its shape in confusion and, when they return, the library is brand new and Sorn is well again. It soon becomes apparent that Sorn can move himself and the group through time and he admits that he is Bandar's TARDIS, having placed the Norvis galaxy inside himself to protect it from Bandar's Oubliette before taking over his next incarnation's body. He suggests that all TARDISes combine their strength as an Arch TARDIS to hide the universe away from the Daleks.
