The central idea to the story was that the creature -- disguised as the human scientist Hawkspur -- would have averted the events of [[TV]] ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'' so that the Fourth Doctor would have survived his fall instead of regenerating. Hawkspur also would have manipulated politics on Earth for the decades remaining, creating a world where he has ultimate power and a hoard of monsters. | The central idea to the story was that the creature -- disguised as the human scientist Hawkspur -- would have averted the events of [[TV]] ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'' so that the Fourth Doctor would have survived his fall instead of regenerating.

The story would have centered on an older version of the [[Fourth Doctor]], [[the Brigadier]] and [[Ace]] (all three from the timeline where the Fifth through Seventh Doctors never existed), with shorter appearances by the other surviving Doctors in minor roles, trying to defeat Hawkspur and set the universe right. Returning monsters would have included the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]], [[Dalek]]s, [[Ice Warrior]]s and the [[Robot Yeti|Yeti]]. | The story would have centered on an older version of the [[Fourth Doctor]], [[the Brigadier]] and [[Ace|"Dorothy"]] (all three from the timeline where the Fifth through Seventh Doctors never existed), with shorter appearances by the other surviving Doctors in minor roles, trying to defeat Hawkspur and set the universe right.

The Seventh Doctor and Ace would have found themselves at a church, with the Doctor reflecting that they would soon likely forget the alternate timeline. The two would eventually continue their travels in time and space, with the Doctor pondering how humanity has survived so much throughout history and beyond... | |||
The "Summerfield" featured in the story was written to perhaps be an alternate version of the [[Seventh Doctor]]'s [[companion]] [[Bernice Summerfield]] from the [[New Adventures]] book series. However, the story did not tough upon this and was extremely ambiguous on the topic. | |||
