Damned If You Don't (audio story): Difference between revisions

|setting                = [[Askran]]

Fighting the [[Dalek]]s on [[Askran]], [[Narvin]] thinks about how the [[Time War]] has separated him from [[Romana II|Romana]], [[Leela]], [[Braxiatel]], [[K9 Mark II|K9]] and [[the Doctor]] and how, according to [[the Matrix]] and its [[coordinator]]s, he is the one responsible for triggering the conflict. He records a message for [[Eris (Collaborators)|Eris]] as he sets out to destroy a platform and prevent the Daleks from using [[cobalt]] warheads against the [[star system]], although he is at a loss at how to do so without taking himself and a sizeable portion of the [[planet]] with it. He is approached by somebody in the [[uniform]] of the [[Chancellery Guard]] who struggles to remove their [[blast visor]], but she eventually manages to get it off and Narvin gets a feeling of ''[[déjà vu]]''. He is unsure why she feels familiar, however.

The [[soldier]] explains that she was separated from her party and she insists on assisting Narvin in his mission, having heard his message for Eris, despite his attempt to get him to join his fellow resistance members elsewhere. Narvin, she says, is invaluable whilst she is expendable. His mind enters a shard of the [[Untempered Schism]]'s essence and he sees various things, including his old friends, the resistance, sending [[Ace]] to [[the Obscura]], [[Dalek]]s, [[War Doctor|a man with a bandolier]], the [[Fall of Gallifrey]], [[Valyes]] blaming him for the war and [[the Watchmaker]]. When he returns to Askran, he recognises the soldier as [[Kransa]] and remembers how the [[Shade of Portent]] had [[Oubliette of Eternity|oublietted]] her out of existence.
