Battle Planet (short story): Difference between revisions

The [[Sixth Doctor]] believes he's landed [[the TARDIS]] on [[Exar 3]], but instead the Ship has been captured by the [[Deban]]s, one of two warring species on the [[planet]] [[Belstar]]. [[Ranon]], their leader, gives the Doctor no choice but to complete a task: go to the [[Nomed Zone]] deep within enemy [[Siros]] territory and retrieve a [[blue rock]] from the [[Crypt of Primo]]. Since the TARDIS is trapped by the Debans' [[Galactic Co-ordinator Intercept]], the Doctor and Peri have little choice but to obey. Dodging the Siros' [[CP10 death ray|CP10]] gunfire, they eventually make it to the blue rock, retrieve it, and return it without issue to Ranson. Honouring his word, the Deban leader releases the TARDIS, and the duo leave.

* Though production errors are rare in print, this story contains a pretty obvious one. In one paragraph, the tower in which the [[blue rock]] is found is called the "[[Tower of Selsor]]", which is then described as having the "[[Crypt of Primo]]", in which the rock is entombed. Only two paragraphs later, the tower is suddenly the "Tower of Pimo".
