The Lost Resort (audio story): Difference between revisions

=== Part one ===

=== Part two ===

=== Part three ===

 

In the swamp, Nyssa calls out to Fabrico to fetch Marc. The Fabricos in the kitchen all stop and, knowing that they would not be able to save Nyssa, they tell Marc to go and save their friend, Nyssa. Marc goes with Fabrico and launches himself into the vapours, attaching a rope to the ferry's mast to keep him from being pulled by the temporal tide.

 

The Doctor and Tegan go in search of Adric, Marc and Nyssa but cannot find anybody anywhere in the Welkin. The Doctor says that he does not have to show or express his feelings about seeing Adric again and that it is and has been his job to protect his companions, but Tegan argues that they are responsible adults and that he does not have to be so paternalistic. Thad, who has been looking around since Sylvie went to see Aether, shows up and joins them, holding Tegan's hand.

 

 

 

The Doctor and Tegan hear a [[cat]] which Thad cannot and he tells them that Sylvie said that a stray cat used to play there, scaring Tegan. They go into Nora's room and find that her body is gone. The Doctor examines a machine which Thad tells him not to touch; he does not want to tell him what it does, but does say that it had something to do with the lights going out earlier.

 

Aether, the Viscount, Franco and Sylvie are in the [[ballroom]], deciding what to do about the Doctor. They want to keep something secret from him and need Aether's machine, but they are also aware that the Doctor might take the virus with him if he were to leave. The Viscount suggests that they trap the Doctor and his companions in the Welkin with them, which they all agree to but Aether.

 

 

 

 

=== Part four ===

* Marc mentions his [[cyber-conversion]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Warzone (audio story)|Warzone]]'', ''[[Conversion (BFM audio story)|Conversion]]'')

* The Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan mention Adric's death. Adric mentions that the last thing he remembers was that he was on a freighter. ([[TV]]: ''[[Earthshock (TV story)|Earthshock]]'')

* Adric recalls the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s regeneration and seeing the effects of entropy. ([[TV]]: ''[[Logopolis]]'')

* The Doctor initially refuses to say goodbye to Adric as a final farewell, only relenting at the end. He would again refuse to say goodbye to [[River Song]] in his [[Eleventh Doctor|eleventh incarnation]], saying it was too difficult, before finally saying goodbye. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'')

* The Doctor states that a [[Time Lord]] will always lie when asked their age, potentially explaining the inconsistency with his age over his incarnations. The Eleventh Doctor made a similar observation in ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]''.

* Adric notes that he has never heard the Doctor not to go to someone's aid. The [[Thirteenth Doctor]] would similarly state "When people need help, I never refuse." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)|The Woman Who Fell to Earth]]'')

* The [[Twelfth Doctor]] would also see 'ghosts' of his deceased former companions [[Clara]], [[Bill Potts|Bill]] and [[Nardole]], who turn out to be avatars of the ''Testimony''. ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'')

* The Doctor tells Tegan that he is responsible for his companions, especially after Adric's death. He would also swear that he would not allow any of his other companions to die during his fifth incarnation, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Goth Opera (novel)|Goth Opera]]'') and would later assert to [[Clara Oswald]] in his [[Twelfth Doctor|twelfth incarnation]] that he had a duty of care which he took very seriously. ([[TV]]: ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'', ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'', ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'')

* The Doctor hated it when people ask him what he is a doctor of, which notably occurred in his [[Third Doctor|third]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'') and [[Twelfth Doctor|twelfth incarnation]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'', ''[[Flatline (TV story)|Flatline]]'')

* This was not the first nor last time that illusions of Adric would appear to the Doctor or his companions:

** An illusion of Adric appeared to Nyssa and Tegan to dissuade them from entering [[The Master|Kalid]]'s inner sanctum. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time-Flight (TV story)|Time-Flight]]'')  

** The [[Seventh Doctor]] found what appeared to be Adric, along with other former companions, alive again and desperate to leave in the TARDIS. He learned that these were actually [[Gwanzulum|Gwanzulums]], a race of [[Shapeshifter|shapeshifters]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Planet of the Dead (comic story)|Planet of the Dead]]'')

** While in a [[Hell]]-like world composed of the Seventh Doctor's mind, [[Ace]] met an eerie, ghost-like recreation of Adric along with other companions of his who had died because of him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Revelation (novel)|Timewyrm: Revelation]]'')

** In the [[Divergent Universe]], the [[Eighth Doctor]] was shown an illusory version of Adric by the [[Kro'ka]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Last (audio story)|The Last]]'')

** The [[Tenth Doctor]] watched Adric die again as a manifestation of the TARDIS Matrix. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'')
