On the [[planet]] [[Tora]], somewhere in the [[Crab Nebula]], the [[companion]]-less Seventh Doctor was once walking near a mountain named [[Kabuki]]. Suddenly, he was beset by vandals. Ly-Chee, a [[hermit]] who lived on the mountain, came down swiftly on the attackers. Though the Doctor thanked Ly-Chee for his able assistance, the Doctor's knowledge of [[Venusian aikido]] proved sufficient for his own defence. | On the [[planet]] [[Tora]], somewhere in the [[Crab Nebula]], the [[companion]]-less Seventh Doctor was once walking near a mountain named [[Kabuki]].

Ly-Chee was so crestfallen at having yet again encountering a riddle with an incredibly simple answer that he decided to return to town and look for a "real" job. Feeling guilty at having ruined his friend's life, the Doctor offered him a lift to town in [[the TARDIS]]. | Ly-Chee was so crestfallen at having yet again encountering a riddle with an incredibly simple answer that he decided to return to town and look for a "real" job.

* Ly-Chee is a character whose | * Ly-Chee is a character whose companion status is indisputable, but whose journeys with the Doctor are quite probably the most compressed of any in all of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fiction. His travels with the Doctor are compressed into just one wordless, though oversized, panel. Nevertheless, that panel does convey a sense of the enormity of his experience with the Doctor. | ||
* The narration boxes give the character the longer names of "Ly-Chee the Wise", "Ly-Chee the Considerate" and "Ly-Chee the Human Being", but it's not clear these are names that other people within the narrative would have actually used for him. These seem to be tongue-in-cheek appellations that give the narrator an ironic tone. | * The narration boxes give the character the longer names of "Ly-Chee the Wise", "Ly-Chee the Considerate" and "Ly-Chee the Human Being", but it's not clear these are names that other people within the narrative would have actually used for him.
