Dark Space 8: Difference between revisions

Eventually, Dark Space 8 was chosen to host the 309th [[Intergalactic Song Contest]] (actually a front for the [[Golos (entity)|Golos]]/[[Angvian]] peace conference). [[Loozly]], a Golos-aligned terrorist, learned of the conference and attempted to disrupt it. Around the same time, Commander [[Paul Keele]] died of [[Orion flu]]. His replacement was sent, but was killed by Loozly with an Angvian [[scatter bomb]]. By coincidence, [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Melanie Bush|Mel]] were on board his ship and were mistaken for the commander and his pilot. While the preparations for the Song Contest were occurring, Loozly killed again, killing the competitor [[Cyrene]] with Angvian methods to place the blame on them. Unfortunately for him, the crew of Dark Space was unable to figure out what sort of weapons were used. Only the [[Golos (entity)|Golos]] competitor learned the truth, but was unable to communicate with anyone else. [[Logan (Bang-Bang-A-Boom!)|Logan]], the host of the Intergalactic Song Competition, was developing a translation device that could work on Golos, so Loozly killed him. Professor Ivor was also figuring out the truth, so was also killed. Loozly also attacked [[Angvia (individual)|the Angvian competitor]] to create the illusion of a double bluff. With this, the Doctor finally figured out and revealed the truths of Dark Space 8. Though the peace conference was a success, with the loss of the senior members the future of Dark Space 9 was uncertain. ([[BFA]]: ''[[Bang-Bang-A-Boom!]]'')

*Dark Space 8 would seem to be influenced by [[Star Trek (franchise)|Star Trek]]. Specifically:

**"Dark Space 8" is a direct spoof of [[memoryalpha:Deep Space 9|Deep Space 9]], both in name and in function as an outpost serving as a hub to many species.
