Biography

Travels with the Doctor

After meeting the Doctor in a library, Samson and Gemma followed him into his TARDIS. The Doctor and the two siblings travelled to a number of planets, including Porteus and Murgatroyd. They also visited the Ice Caves of Shabadabadon, the court of Queen Elizabeth I, prehistoric Earth and Studio 54.

They also paid a visit to a friend of the Doctor, Edward Grainger, in 1956. (ST: Dear John)

Encounter with Davros

After a trip to Valuensis the trio came across a Nekkistani time cruiser. The two siblings, Samson and Gemma, went on board to explore, but there they encountered Davros. He took control of their minds, and forced Samson to knock out the Doctor, then Davros used his control of Samson to control the TARDIS, piloting it back to Earth. Davros then altered the Docto'rs memory so as he forgot all about the two siblings.

The Doctor went on his way, and met Charley Pollard and C'rizz. Samson remained subconsciously aware of the Doctor's travels, and Davros used this to monitor the Doctor. Davros had infected Gemma with a disease which mutated humans into Daleks, and he used this to pave the way for the Dalek invasion of Earth.

The Doctor, Charley and C'rizz arrived on Earth and Davros sprung his trap. C'rizz joined a small unit of Daleks, headed by Gemma, and they attempted to make his the new Dalek emperor. This attempt was unsuccessful and in the end the Doctor blackmailed the Daleks into leaving earth, taking Davros with them and releasing C'rizz, who they had captured, and Samson, from their control.
