Thinktwice (comic story): Difference between revisions

An alien woman called [[Zed (Thinktwice)|Zed]] tries to wake up a sleeping [[Majenta Pryce]]. She asks her to tell her a story. Majenta starts to tell the story of how she was a thief, stops. She says she does not know who she is nor why she is in Thinktwice prison. The Prisoners are woken by [[Jonah Gripton]]'s voice over a tannoy.

While Majenta and Zed are having breakfast, a squid-like alien named [[Ceecee]] walks up and eats Zed's launch. Majenta challenges her and insults her  size. Ceecee attacks Majenta. She is restrained and taken away by the guards.  

Majenta is taken to the sick bay and is examined by Doctor Smith -- The Doctor. She steals a scapel for a weapon. Ceecee is taken to a scientist. Her head is put under a machine and she lets out an agonising scream.  

Later in the prison library, a blue-skinned woman walks up to a guard and grabs his baton. She kills herself with it. Majenta tells Zed not to look.

At the labs a scientist says to Flatch, another scientist, that Ceecee is brain dead. Jonah starts hearing things.  the voice says Ceecee's mind tasted sweet.  

The Doctor climbs into the ventilation shafts. His sonic screwdriver is shot by little robots.

Majenta is in the machine, with the machine shouting "Mental collapse imminent.  The Doctor jumps out. Mr. Flatch attacks him, but the time lord releases laser-spitting robot birds. He rescues Majenta, and they escape.

The fugitives go through the kitchens and the Doctor throws an electrically charged ladle at the guards, who arrest them. They go to the TARDIS, which is on the other side of the prison.

Back in the Knowsall room, Flatch tells Gripton where the prisoners have gone. Gripton isn't listening. He is being contacted by some telepathic aliens, who shout, "WE FEED" Suddenly, all the guards in the room have their minds absorbed.

Zed, wakes to find the room empty. She wonders where Majenta is.

The Doctor explains to Majenta why he came to Thinktwice. They run into a group of aliens. Flatch and Gripton, the only two survivors, see the monster descending. They tell Gripton that they want the Doctor's mind.

Majenta recognises the aliens, who the Doctor says are brain dead. They were taken to [[Knowsall]] for a final session. Majenta becomes very angry and tells the Doctor she won't end up like those people. He delves into her mind, making her recall her earlier encounter with him. When she remembers that the Doctor sent her to Thinktwice, she punches him. Suddenly they are confronted by the creatures, who introduce themselves as the [[Memeovax]].

Zed is about to be killed by a Memeovax when she gets her mind back and remembers her name is Zephyr. She kills the Memeovax threatening her.
