Lured into the [[Celestial Toyroom]], the Doctor, Ace and Hex managed to aid a group of humans in defeating the [[Celestial Toymaker]], trapping him inside a ventriloquist's doll. In order to prevent him from ever resurfacing, the Doctor arranged for Ace and Hex to attend to the running of a mock-up sanatorium where he and the various other guests were kept unaware of their true situation. Despite their best efforts, the Doctor uncovered his own plan and the Toymaker resurfaced and managed to trick the humans into playing against him for their greatest desires in a bid to reassert himself as controller of the Toyroom. However, [[Swapnil Khan]], the final player, managed to trap him in a stalemate, enabling his daughter, [[Queenie Glasscock]], and the three travellers to escape the Toyroom and return to the real world, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Magic Mousetrap (audio story)|The Magic Mousetrap]]'') though the Doctor was now aware of Fenric's impending return, having found a chess set in the sanatorium.

However, the Doctor soon found Hex to be alive and acting as a local crime lord named "Hector Thomas", having had his memories removed by an [[Elemental (Afterlife)|Elemental]] named [[Koloon]] after Hex made a deal to be removed from the Elder Gods' realm and returned to Liverpool. From this revelation, the Doctor managed to locate Koloon, but was unable to prevent Hex's memories from being destroyed. Enraged, the Doctor banished Koloon back to realm of the Elder Gods with a warning to fear him, and was forced by Ace, who was unwilling to accept the death of Hex or the loss of his memories, to take Hector with them in the TARDIS.

Taking Hector on a trip round the universe's beauty spots, the Doctor became worried when Hector started to pilot the TARDIS. The Doctor realised that Hector was infected by [[The Swarm (The Invisible Enemy)| | Taking Hector on a trip round the universe's beauty spots, the Doctor became worried when Hector started to pilot the TARDIS. The Doctor realised that Hector was infected by [[The Swarm (The Invisible Enemy)|the Swarm]], and had piloted them to [[Titan Base]] in [[4920]]. He found out that the Swarm was created from the [[Saturnian plague]]. After making sure that his own personal history remained intact and the virus was released, the Doctor and Ace were knocked out by Hector. Hector then piloted the TARDIS two centuries into the future, where the Doctor learnt that [[the Nucleus]] of the Swarm had invaded the [[Hypernet]] in the interim. He entered the Hypernet with Ace to destroy the nucleus, but warned her that if they died in the Hypernet she would become braindead in the real world. With his initial plan failed, the Doctor used a now immune Hector to disrupt the Nucleus focus long enough for Ace to destroy the body.

The Doctor took Hector to [[Athens]] in [[BC#5th_century_B.C.|5th century BC]] to recuperate. He decided to help [[Aristophanes]] to put on a play. When he heard that there was a strange plague, he started to investigate the cause. He discovered that [[Tyrgius]] was an alien beatle and that [[Cleon]] had damaged his disguise. He was later arrested for treason and placed in prison. He warned Hector of using the mask when he claimed to be Dionysus. Using his knowledge of Athenian law he put his case against the Athenian jury to plead for their release and was successful. Later, he had to make a version of Tyrgius' mask to stop Cleon's controlled army. He used Aristophenes' play to stop the war. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Mask of Tragedy (audio story)|Mask of Tragedy]]'') | |||
