Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
Scenes Unseen[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Kinda [+]Loading...["Kinda (TV story)"]
Dr Todd looks around at the woodland of Deva Loka where the Doctor's TARDIS had just been standing, with the Kinda tribe and their trickster looking around in mild curiosity. Karuna joins her, and Todd asks what happened to the other three members of the colonising expedition - Carter, Roberts, and Stone - after they seemingly disappeared from the Total Survival Suit. Karuna says it is obvious: they were each given the Box of Jhana to see what life with the Kinda is like, though, unlike Hindle and Sanders, they were not mentally destabilised, but instead chose to join them in the forest. When Todd asks where they are now, Karuna points behind her, and the three explorers appear, now fully-fledged members of the Kinda. Todd admits that she did not recognise them wearing so few clothes.
Where Are They Now?[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Dalek Section Leader from Planet of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Planet of the Daleks (TV story)"]
The Dalek Section Leader explains that when Wester the Spiridon unleashed the Daleks' deadly bacteria on themselves, it was already immune and therefore able to seal the door and prevent its fellow Daleks from being wiped out. It stayed there through many natural disasters, certain it would never leave to ensure its species' survival, but after 1000 years, it was rescued by a new force. However, it was immediately locked up again in the Dalek Asylum for supposedly going insane. The Section Leader bitterly notes how Daleks have no concept of gratitude.
The Unexplained[[edit] | [edit source]]
- How did Maebh get out of the museum?
Maebh Arden is the only member of the Coal Hill Year 8 Gifted and Talented Group not seen to be trapped inside the London Zoological Museum, instead running through the forest in London. As for how she alone was able to escape, the voices in her head directed her to a tree that had grown up to the height of the roof for the express purpose of allowing her to leave.
