The Doctor, Zoe, Phee, and Officer Sonia Paley have just escaped the Mnemosyne, one of saturn's moons rich with a substance called bernalium. A space colony has been constructed around the moon to facilitate mining this ore, but what no one knew is that eons before, a civilization saw signs of disaster, and bundled up all that was necessary to preserve or restore their race into a machine called The Arkive. They sent it off as their world burned, and it crashed into the moon, too damaged to fulfill its purpose. It cast an allohistorical lure to the Earth, beckoning humans to one day venture out to the moon and (however indirectly) provide her the technology to build a way to go home.
Of course, this story wouldn't be complete without the single-minded radical business type, Florian Hart, in this case. The manager of the mine, she merely sees all this as a liability, with no regard to the value of cultural preservation. Enter The Doctor and his companions Jamie and Zoe, who arrive when their ship detects the anomalies. My project is a narrative of what went through The Doctor's head on the penultimate trip back from the moon.
