+It’s L/Wren Mrs [[Constance Clarke]]’s [[birthday]] - and [[Flip Jackson|Flip]] is determined to make it an anniversary to remember.
 The futuristic colony of [[Formicia]], where the pampered populace pass their days in endless leisure, seems the perfect place for a ‘Wren Party’. But all is not as it seems. Looking down from the Middle, the skyscraping tower that ascends as far as the colony ceiling, Formicia’s overseers can see that [[Sixth Doctor|the Doctor]] doesn’t fit in - and it’s not just his coat that makes him conspicuous...
-“The End is the Beginning,” say the propaganda-like posters all over Formicia. Because to be part of this perfect society comes at a price. And the Doctor's already in arrears.
