Traitors' Gate (audio story)
Traitors' Gate was the second story in the audio anthology Masters of Time, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Sarah Grochala and featured Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart, Ingrid Oliver as Petronella Osgood, James Joyce as Josh Carter and Chris Lew Kum Hoi as Jimmy Tan.
Publisher's summary
Osgood is a prisoner in the Tower of London, which is now a Vulpreen base. To rescue her friend, Kate must devise a plan to raid her former headquarters.
Inside the Tower, the Vulpreen are determined to access the Black Archive and the hugely dangerous alien technology it contains. How long can Osgood keep them out?
Plot
Osgood repeatedly lets Commander Sorgan into the Black Archive to find a particle isolator to make the Super Arches usable only by the Vulpreen before wiping her memory and doing it again, which Varliss puts a stop to after ten days. Sorgan puts Jimmy in a time bubble and threatens to age him to death or return him to the point of his birth, forcing Osgood into letting her into the Black Archive without using the memory filters.
Kate, Josh and teacher Lorraine take a submarine down the River Thames and into Swordfish One's docking bay beneath the Tower of London. They split up to find a way out of the tunnels, which have been closed off with frozen time, and Lorraine is pulled through a Vulpreen Arch. Kate and Josh run into Ashley, the Tower's Ravenmaster.
