Triad Technology[[edit] | [edit source]]
Susan came to prominence three years prior to 2024 when she founded Triad Technology. Two months before she was set to release her software for free to the world, as an unprecedented gesture of "giving back", she was subconsciously compelled to change the name of the company to S Triad Technology. Unbeknownst to her, this attracted the attention of UNIT due to the new name being an anagram of "TARDIS". She was placed under close surveillance with Melanie Bush becoming one of her employees.
After the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday noticed the lookalikes of Susan Triad they kept meeting throughout time and space, Mel introduced the Doctor to her; he questioned her about the dreams she was having. She was shocked that he knew of them, such as "being" a Villengard Automated Ambulance Unit or Penny Pepper-Bean. She was taken away from the Doctor to start the speech, but became a bit disorientated during the speech thinking about her dreams. As Sutekh revealed himself back at UNIT HQ, his voice began to speak to Susan Triad, who became anguished with the question of "what [she was]", before finally losing all individuality and being transformed into a skeletal form as Sutekh fully possessed her and spoke through her.

Sutekh used her as his operative on Earth whilst Harriet Arbinger piloted the TARDIS. She got the information from the UNIT database for Sutekh to gain control of Mel. During the final confrontation she wanted the Doctor to be killed so that Sutekh would no longer have need of her and she would no longer have a half-life. After Sutekh was defeated, she was returned to her old life. Kate Stewart offered her a job and she was glad to help, even joking she'd "make the tea".
