The Eye of Torment was a comic story published in the 477th issue of Doctor Who Magazine.
Summary
Part One - The Eye of Torment
On the Pollyanna, Sandy Tanaka and Florence Dell chat over coffee. Sandy has been recieving mysterious messages, although Florence is skeptical. The two find a stowaway: Clara Oswald. Clara is taken to "the boss", the quadrillionaire Rudy Zoom, the man behind "the greatest adventure in the history of mankind" to sail through the hydrogen oceans of the sun.
Harriet Wilcox and Georgia Butler are working when Alice Dubrovnik appears to shout at Harriet for tapping into her energy feed. As they argue, Georgia sees a black hand pressing against the window from outside. Her head is suddenly filled with humiliating moments and regrets from her past. Crying and believing that she deserves to die, Georgia opens the airlock. Harriet instictively pushes Alice out of the way and is vaporised by the super-heated plasma.
The door shuts behind Alice as she falls, and she breaks a tendon in her leg. As she limps away, the door opens to reveal a smiling black figure. Tentacles extend towards her, and she is pulled to the ground. She cries out for help, and sees a pair of feet before her. The Doctor levels his sonic screwdriver and delivers a cold warning to the creature.
Part Two - The Coldest Place
Twenty minutes earlier, the Doctor and Clara arrive on the Pollyana. The Doctor moves on ahead, ignorant to Clara's absense, and becomes greatly excited upon realising where they have landed. As he stares out of the window at the sun, a black figure moves towards him. It begins to remind him of his failures, and he reaches out towards it. He manages to shut it out and sees that it has entered the ship elsewhere.
After finding Alice, the Doctor shuts the doors on the creature and runs, carrying her over his shoulder. He again shuts the creature behind them. Alice expresses regret over Harriet dying to save her, but the Doctor is more concerned about how many creatures there are.
Zoom takes Clara to the flight deck. Alice makes contact, informing them of Harriet and Georgia's deaths and the creature on board the ship. Panicked, she demands that they abort the expedition. Zoom dismisses the idea, but the Doctor takes over and advises that they shut their plasma intakes and look for bio-forms.
The creature forces the doors open and the Doctor again picks up Alice and runs. Florence confronts him at gunpoint, thinking that he has Alice as a hostage. The creature moves around the corner and grabs Florence by the ankle, pulling her towards it until she is consumed. Falling through a black void, she is reminded of the deaths of her comrades and feels that she should have died with them. The creature suddenly splits in two. The copy looks exactly like Florence. Alice whispers her name in horror, and the creature gives a chilling reply:
"WAS THAT"
"HER NAME"
