== Plot == | == Plot == | ||
''to be | The maiden voyage of ''[[Starseeker]]'' has been brought forward to investigate a forty-mile-long [[asteroid]]. On the third day, as the ship passes [[Mars]], [[Petronella Osgood|Osgood]] records an update for [[UNIT]] in [[Geneva]] and for [[Kate Stewart|Kate]], who appears to her and [[Jimmy Tan|Jimmy]], now a full member of the organisation, using a [[hologram projector]]. The asteroid slows down and seems to throw a smaller asteroid in the direction of the ship, although Kate is not certain that it was an attack and sends Osgood and Jimmy to investigate. | ||
Kate flies by [[helicopter]] to the UNIT safe house in [[Tromsø]] to check on [[Jacqui McGee|Jacqui]] and tells her about the asteroid, which she suspects is under the control of the [[Vulpreen]]. When she answers her phone, Jacqui disappears and, whilst looking for her, Kate finds a room full of [[photo]]s of Jacqui, her friends and family and clippings of [[newspaper]] articles that she wrote. | |||
The asteroid uses an energy field to launch about twenty asteroids at ''Starseeker'' whilst Osgood, Jimmy and a dozen [[soldier]]s take a [[shuttle]] towards it. ''Starseeker'' is destroyed, killing the hundred people aboard and leaving those aboard the shuttle with only three hours of [[oxygen]]. When Kate is notified, she asks that [[Josh Carter|Josh]] is informed and that [[Naomi Cross]] comes to collect her. She finds Jacqui chanting in [[Old Vulpreen]], calling for the Vulpreen with a [[Dreamstone]], before returning to the photos and clippings to remind her of herself, telling Kate that the Vulpreen gave her false [[memory|memories]] of a life as one of them. | |||
The shuttle loses power and Jimmy uses an [[axe]] to rupture a propellant tank and turn it towards the asteroid. | |||
