The Eternity Clock (video game): Difference between revisions

Onboard the [[TARDIS]], the Doctor is struggling to navigate through a temporal maelstrom, and manages to land the ship on [[Earth]]. However, the TARDIS appears in a bad way, and the ship's instruments confirm that the time storm encompasses the entire planet. The Doctor exits to find himself in the Bank of England in the modern day, but the TARDIS almost immediately vanishes in a flash of light. Now trapped, he is forced to search for a way out. Eventually, on the advice of a [[psychic paper]] message from his future self, the Doctor uses a stack of gold bars to smash through a weak grate into the Victortian-era tunnels below the bank. He finds a perception filter, which he recognises as his own work. He disables it, revealing a sewer entrance, however, the passage below is blocked by a gate requiring a person on each side to open.

At the [[Stormcage Containment Facility]] in [[5145]], River Song recieves a phone call telling her the Doctor needs her help. She proceeds to escape from the Facility, and once clear of its tesla binding field, she uses her [[vortex manipulator]] to travel to modern day Earth, where she releases the stranded Doctor. The pair proceed through the old tunnels, looking to reach the surface, however, they soon encounter a large number of Cyberman storage units, which begin releasing their occupants. The Doctor and River flee through the tunnel system, eventually reaching a Bank of England lift that lets them enter the tunnels of the London Underground. The Cybermen pursue them, but the pair are eventually able to seal them off behind a set of large doors. Here, in an area devastated by a gas pipe explosion, the Doctor and River encounter an encampment of humans taking refuge from the Cybermen on the streets above, who are converting people en masse. Before the pair can head for the surface however, the Cybermen find a way into the area, through more train tunnels. River and the Doctor work together to electrify the rails, blocking their access.  

Ascending to the streets, the duo find the streets empty, and nearby is a dormant time corridor, caused by the raging time storm. With the construction site one way blocked by road collapse from the gas explosion, the pair proceed into an adjacent office building, where they find another time corridor, which the Doctor identifies as leading to [[1892]]. Finding the heavily guarded Cyberfactory ship on the other side of the office, the Doctor formulates a plan - he will travel through the time corridor, which has suddenly activated, and alter the plans for the gas pipes in the past so that the explosion takes place elsewhere. With the road traversable, they can then access the building site, use its crane to get on top of the office, and then drop down to the unguarded Cyberfactory.

The Doctor travels through the corridor using River's vortex manipulator, and emerges in a textile mill. He makes his way outside and then underground, spotting a mysterious figure dash along the rooftops on the way. Beneath the streets, he finds the under-construction pipes, and alters the plans accordingly, before returning through another time corridor to the present. Meanwhile, in the present, the Cybermen have entered the office block to investigate the energy from the corridor's use, but their forced entry activates the building's security measures, trapping River inside. However, she is able to trick the Cyberman patrols into breaking open the office's security booth, where she deactivates the barriers, allowing her to head outside. She and the Doctor meet up and ascend the construction site, using a girder held by the crane to cross onto the office's roof. With the Cybermen still inside, the Doctor and River are free to to return to street level in a window-cleaning cradle and break into the Cyberfactory, with the intention of disabling the [[Cyber-Planner]] inside.
