Faster Than Light (comic story)
Faster Than Light was a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2012.
Summary
The Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams arrive onboard the star ship Solaros 10 as the crew of Professor Parsek and pilot Sorben prepare to travel for the first time, faster than the speed of light. But the Doctor’s warning comes to late, and as the solar stack redlines the Professor is caught in a blast of a condensed solar energy flare with the unfortunate side effect of transforming him into some kind of neoform reptilioplas. A second blast leaves Sorben out cold and as the ship’s energy drives go into meltdown the Doctor (working with his sonic screwdriver), manages to reverse the polarity of the energy dischargers. The mutation field is drained and Professor Parsek is returned to normal. As the TARDIS leaves the ship Parsek and Sorben are revealed to be Silurians grateful for their lives to the unknown strangers.
