Operation Mannequin: Difference between revisions

Though they had been involved in the [[Last Great Time War]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Decoy (short story)|Decoy]]'') the [[Nestene Consciousness]] chose to abandon its old ways and developed a [[rapport]] with the [[Embodiment of Gris]] on [[Nestenia]], only for the planet to be ruined when it was caught in the edge of the Time War. Amongst the planets which had been duplicated and used as weapons against it, the Nestene recognised [[Earth]] from an "old campaign". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Revenge of the Nestene (short story)|Revenge of the Nestene]]'') Indeed, it had invaded at least twice in the [[20th century]].

To achieve its purpose, the Nestene infiltrated Earth using [[warp shunt]] technology and based itself in [[London]], concelaed beneath the [[London Eye]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'')
