March - December

On 24 July, CEREBRA came to Washington DC through a time corridor from the 22nd century and disseminated itself within a copy of Robinson Crusoe owned by a government official. Ace followed CEREBRA to 1814 and spent the next month tracking CEREBRA and all the writing it had infected.

On 24 August, the British attacked Washington. Ace was reunited with the Seventh Doctor, who had met up with British forces at an earlier point. Ace directed the British army to all the buildings containing writing infected by CEREBRA so that they could be burned down; the White House and the Library of Congress were among the buildings reduced to ashes.
