While caught up in a [[Time war]] between the past and the future on the planet [[Aoris]], K9 was forced to spend a thousand years hidden on the planet, setting himself up as 'the great Machina' so that he could found a cult that would aid the Doctor and Romana in bringing the war to an end, hiding behind a fake computer with a version of the TARDIS until he could return to the Doctor and Romana once the war ended ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Paradox Planet (audio story)|The Paradox Planet]]'', ''[[Legacy of Death (audio story)|Legacy of Death]]''). | |||
