Is Anyone There? (comic story): Difference between revisions

In [[Australia]], [[Louis French|Doctor French]] refuses to heed the Doctor's warnings that his new radio wave accelerator could spell disaster for [[Earth]] as well as for the alien cultures that he hopes to contact with it. With no option left to him, the Doctor resorts to sabotage but is caught before he can render the accelerator inoperable. The Doctor's fears are borne out when the accelerator is tested for the first time. The accelerated radio transmission causes disastrous disturbances in the weather on a global scale and subsequently lead to Doctor French's own death. The Doctor is more concerned about the fate of the planet that the transmission was directed at. Travelling to [[Morrax]], the Doctor finds the world devastated and is taken prisoner by the surviving Morraxian people. The Morraxian leaders vow revenge on the people of Earth and dispatch a lethal missile with the Doctor trapped on board.
