Conspiracy: Difference between revisions

A '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a plan, usually some politically scandalous act, made in secret between a select group of individuals, who were entrusted to tell no-one else. In Ancient [[Rome]], the Doctor appeared to sense some sort of conspiracy, but could not identify it until [[Vicki Pallister|Vicki]] causally let slip that she had been involved in a plot with [[Maximus Pettulian|Maximus]], [[Tavius]], and [[Locusta]] to poison [[Nero]]. The later two of these were pretending to work for Nero while plotting against him. Nobody else outside of this group was supposed to know of these plans, officially, and Vicki seemed to panic one she realised what she’d done. Despite agreeing with the plotters on Nero’s evil, the Doctor was forced to scupper their plans and save Nero’s life in order to preserve the [[space-time continuum]], since Nero’s death [[fixed point|could not be rewritten]]. Nero tricked a slave into drinking the wine to see if the Doctor was telling the truth, and received confirmation when the slaves, choking, collapsed down dead. Unaware of these motivations, the other plotters believed the Doctor to be a friend of Nero following this incident, and deemed Vicki untrustworthy for telling him.
