'''''Space Station | '''Space Station Camera''', or '''Space Station J7''', was a [[20th century]] scientific research [[space station]] in the [[Third Zone]] of the [[Mutter's Spiral]] [[galaxy]]. | ||
== Description == | |||
The [[architneer]]s who built the [[space station]] made the most of the fact that they were building in zero [[gravity]], building it in such a way that it might look like a [[thumbprint]] from one angle and a [[knuckleduster]] from another. It was made from [[opaline]], laminated [[epoxy graphite]] and fused [[titanium carbide]] and had numerous ports and docking bays. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (novelisation)}}) [[Jamie McCrimmon]] said that it looked like "twenty [[castle]]s in the sky". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (TV story)}}) | |||
== History == | |||
Space Station Camera ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (TV story)}}) alternatively known as Space Station J7 or simply Station J7, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (novelisation)}}) existed so that [[scientist]]s of the [[Third Zone]] could assemble and embark on pure [[research]]. [[The Doctor]] attended the inauguraton prior to him falling out of favour with the [[Time Lord]]s and he befriended [[Joinson Dastari]], the [[Head of Projects]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (TV story)}}) whom he would later suspect was disappointed not to have received research funding from [[Gallifrey]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (novelisation)}}) The station was staffed by [[Androgum]]s. | |||
[[Kartz|Professor Kartz]] and [[Reimer|Professor Reimer]] conducted [[time travel]] experiments on the station, although it was [[Chessene o' the Franzine Grig]], the augmented Androgum [[chatelaine]], who was the [[brain]]s behind the project and who realised that they needed the [[Rassilon Imprimatur]] to make the [[Kartz-Reimer module]] work. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (TV story)}}) She decided to form an alliance with [[Stike|Group Marshal Stike]], promising him [[the TARDIS]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (novelisation)}}) in exchange for [[execution|executing]] everybody aboard the station once [[Shockeye o' the Quawncing Grig]], the [[chef]], had [[sedation|sedated]] them with a [[calgesic]]. During the massacre, the [[Second Doctor]], sent by the Time Lords with [[Jamie McCrimmon]] to stop the experiments, was captured. | |||
The [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Peri Brown]] arrived on the station ten or twelve days later in search of Dastari and found that everybody was dead aside from Jamie, who had become deranged with fear. Learning from him of the [[Sontaran]] massacre and that the Second Doctor had been present, the Sixth Doctor used [[telepathy]] to find his past self and the trio left the station. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (TV story)}}) According to one account, a power cable caused a [[fire]] whilst the Doctor was on the [[astral plane]] and which he woke up too late to stop. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (novelisation)}}) | |||
When researching the Second Doctor's brief tenure as a [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] agent, a Time Lord [[Boy (Heaven Sent)|author]] suspected that the space station's security systems catching him on tape had exposed the Time Lords, forcing them to carry out the official sentence and have the Doctor regenerate.
