The Eternity Clock (video game): Difference between revisions

Onboard [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], the Doctor struggling to navigate through a temporal maelstrom. He lands the ship on [[Earth]]. However, the TARDIS appears in a bad way. The instruments confirm the time storm covers the planet. The Doctor exits to find himself in the Bank of England in the modern day. When the TARDIS vanishes in a flash of light, he is trapped. Eventually, on the advice of a [[psychic paper]] message from his future self, he uses gold bars to smash through a weak grate into the Victorian era tunnels under the bank. He finds a perception filter he recognises as his own work. He disables it, revealing a sewer entrance. However, the passage below is blocked by a gate requiring someone on each side to open.

At the [[Stormcage Containment Facility]] in [[5145]], River Song gets a phone call telling her the Doctor needs her help. She escapes from the Facility. Once clear of its Tesla binding field, she uses her [[vortex manipulator]] to travel to modern day Earth, where she releases the stranded Doctor. They go through the old tunnels, trying to reach the surface.  

They soon encounter Cyberman storage units which begin releasing their occupants. The Doctor and River flee through the tunnels, eventually reaching a Bank of England lift that lets them enter the tunnels of the London Underground. The Cybermen pursue them, but the pair seal them off behind a set of large doors.  

In an area devastated by a gas pipe explosion, the Doctor and River encounter an encampment of humans taking refuge from the Cybermen, who are converting people en masse. Before the pair can reach the surface, the Cybermen find a way into the area through more train tunnels. River and the Doctor electrify the rails, blocking their access.  

Ascending to the streets, River and the Doctor find the streets empty. A dormant time corridor, caused by the raging time storm s near. With the construction site blocked by road collapse from the gas explosion, they go into an adjacent office building. They find another time corridor, which the Doctor identifies as leading to [[1892]]. They find a heavily guarded Cyberfactory ship on the other side of the office and the Doctor formulates a plan - he will travel through the time corridor, which has activated, and alter the plans for the gas pipes in the past so that the explosion takes place elsewhere. With the road traversible, they can access the building site, use its crane to get on top of the office and drop into the unguarded Cyberfactory.

The Doctor travels through the corridor with River's vortex manipulator and emerges in a textile mill. He makes his way outside and then underground. He sees a mysterious figure dash over the rooftops on the way. Beneath the streets, he finds the under-construction pipes, alters the plans and returns 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. Their forcible entry activates the building's security measures, trapping River inside. She tricks the Cyberman patrols into breaking open the office's security booth,. She deactivates the barriers, allowing her to go out. The Doctor and she rendezvous 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 return to street in a window-cleaning cradle and break into the Cyberfactory, intending to disable the [[Cyber-Planner]] inside.
