The '''''Space Orient Express''''' ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Time Traveller's Diary (novel)|Time Traveller's Diary]]'') was a reproduction of the '''''Orient Express''''' was built that travelled in [[space]] along [[hyperspace|hyperspace ribbons]]. It attempted to recreate the land-based ''[[Orient Express]]'' down to the fine details, with some omissions. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'') | |||
The [[ | == History == | ||
The first journey of the ''Space Orient Express'' took place in [[4355]] on [[5 June]], the same [[calendar date|date]] as that of the original ''Orient Express'' in [[1883]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Time Traveller's Diary (novel)|Time Traveller's Diary]]'') | |||
The [[Eleventh Doctor]] received a call requesting his presence as it was having trouble with an "[[Egypt]]ian [[god]]dess" who had escaped from the [[Seventh Obelisk]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'') | |||
Eventually the [[Twelfth Doctor]] heeded the request, confessing to [[Clara Oswald]] that he knew they were being lured into a trap. He confessed to Clara that the Express' [[computer]] [[Gus (Mummy on the Orient Express)|Gus]] had "tried to entice" the Doctor into coming there several times before through free tickets and mysterious summons, and that he "even phoned [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] number". | |||
After several deaths aboard the train, the Doctor explained the mummy to be a soldier, waiting to be dismissed from his duties. | The [[Foretold]], a mythical [[mummy]], was on board and murdering passengers. The Doctor soon [[deduce]]d that all the passengers on the [[train]] were experts and scientists who had been gathered to study the Foretold. The dining car revealed itself to be a white laboratory as Gus halted the train and revealed that the whole scenario was set up in order to find out more information about the Foretold. | ||

After several deaths aboard the train, the Doctor explained the mummy to be a [[soldier]], waiting to be dismissed from his duties. After surrendering to the Foretold, the mummy disintegrated; its war finally ending. The Doctor rescued all living parties from the train with an improvised [[teleport]]er, beaming them into his TARDIS. After the Doctor got inside the TARDIS and attempted to hack Gus to find out who set up the gathering, Gus set off a failsafe, blowing up the Orient Express. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'') | |||
Although Clara told [[Danny Pink|Danny]] about the train in space while she was on it, a concept which he found quite cool, ([[TV]]: ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'') she included the ''Orient Express ''in a series of notes written when planning to confess to him about her adventures with the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') | |||

A similar, if not identical, [[CGI|CG]] model had earlier been used in [[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'', as a [[train]] passing through [[Area 52]] in [[River Song's World]]. | |||
