Heliotrope Bouquet was a short story published in DWM 181 and 182. It did not feature the Doctor at all.

Summary

In the 26th century, the three crew members of the space yacht Heliotrope Bouquet II depart Soarpath Junction, only to become caught in the middle of a space battle between Daleks and Cybermen. They escape, but the ship is badly damaged. While making their way to a safe harbour, a Cyber-Leader forces them to return to the battle so he can destroy the Dalek ship. They succeed in tricking the Cyberman, destroy him, and resume course away from the battle.

The poster included with the story.

Planets, colonies and other astronomical locations mentioned include Looking-glass, Soarpath Junction, the Partition Sector, Nyvann, the Davian Systems, the Plaides, Sark and Sadizar.
Spacecraft mentioned include the Downline Express, the Heliotrope Bouquet II, the Cybership K'voon and the Dalek flagship Urun-hutsaiki Rak.
The Daleks pilot what appear to be hoverbouts in the poster, but they are called "space maneouvre cradles" in the text.
Goff had served with Space Tactical and Central Intelligence.

Notes

A poster depicting the Daleks and Cybermen battling was included with the story.
"Plaides" is presumably a misspelling of "Pleiades".

Continuity

At this point in time, the last contact with the Daleks and Cybermen was so long ago that some people no longer believe in them. In TV: The Space Museum, Vicki (who is from 2493) didn't know what a Dalek looked like until she saw one, and in TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen (set in the previous century) the Cybermen are believed to have died out centuries ago.
Misha had worked three years as an interpreter in the Draconian Disputes. (TV: Frontier in Space)

Dalek prose stories

For the purposes of this list, a "Dalek prose story" is one in which one living, authentic Dalek plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story.

Cyberman stories

For the purposes of this list, a "Cyberman story" is one in which one living, authentic Cyberman plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as Dalek are absent due to only featuring deceased Cybermen on display. Stories like Carnival of Monsters, A Good Man Goes to War and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Cybermen's appearance being of little consequence to the plot of the story.
