Exile on Earth: Difference between revisions

Following the defeat of [[the War Lord]]'s allies, a triad of [[Time Lord]]s tried the [[Second Doctor]] for violations of their [[non-interference policy]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Games]]'') The Doctor was initially sentenced to death, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[World Game (novel)|World Game]]'') but the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] stepped in and appealed for a stay of execution. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin]]'') In exchange for the Doctor's aid in various matters that the Time Lords needed resolved without officially violating their policy, the Time Lord tribunal said that they would sentence the Doctor with two punishments: [[exile]] on Earth during [[20th century|the late 20th century]] and an involuntary [[regeneration]] into a new, less-recognisable incarnation, much to the Doctor's frustration. ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Games]]'')

 

For a time between trial and exile, the Second Doctor seemed to be based on Gallifrey. He was used by the CIA on limited missions to and from his home planet, acting as an "independent operative" so that he could attend to missions that the Time Lords wanted resolved without them getting directly involved and thus violating their official non-intervention policy. During this time, he was accompanied by his pre-trial companion, [[Jamie McCrimmon]], whose memory was partially restored and edited to account for the absence of [[Victoria Waterfield]]. At least his first mission saw him being accompanied by the Time Lady [[Serena]], who was killed in action saving the Duke of Wellington during a mission against the [[Player]]s.
