And now for a story... (short story)
And now for a story... was a three-part short story released on 22 December 2020 by Immersive Everywhere to coincide with the Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious immersive experience Time Fracture. It was illustrated by Jamie Lenman. The short story was an homage to Twas the Night Before Christmas and is also a direct sequel to 14684 UNIT Field Log, showing the same message from Kate Stewart.
Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
On 24 December, a message by Kate Stewart from UNIT HQ is broadcast to a group of four humans via a television, to recruit them. Meeting at UNIT HQ, the group faces off against Daleks, Cybermen, and Weeping Angels, while forming closer bonds with each other.
