BACKGROUND

The planet on Minyos 2 is preparing for a Millennium Celebration. It has been 1,000 years since The R1C had landed with the Minyon's Race Banks and the descendants of the crew of the P7E. After a mere 4 years in flight they had arrived on this new world. When internecine warfare had destroyed the original Minyos, the R1C had searched for eons to find the Race Banks to restart their culture. They endured regeneration thousands of times and all the suffering that entails in their devotion to The Quest. Imagine regenerating thousands of times not less than the voluntary 12 of this new age. Finally their devotion and suffering caused the gods themselves to take pity on them and one returned in his time chariot and with the help of this ancient one, a female warrior and their metallic familiar, The Quest was ultimately fulfilled.

Although there is some snobbery between the three classes. Those that can claim the noble ancients from the R1C as their forefathers, those who call themselves "The Chosen" because their ancestors had suffered as "Trogs" and the common crowd produced from the Race Banks. Society is at an unparalleled level of development, Few have any needs that aren't meet, peace is all encompassing due to the Pacification Rays and the scientists have even started to develop their own time travel experiments. What could possibly threaten the Minyons now?

CAST



The 11th Doctor - [Cody] tall, 6 foot man in his late 50's with gray curls, a wizened face, and sparkling blue eyes. He closely resembles his 4th incarnation after being aged a bit by time and turmoil.

 


Ravena Shaw - [Jen] Virginian colonist, granddaughter of a local farmer now deceased. She is unmarried, a woman of 23 thus a spinster (by choice). She lives on her family farm with her sister-in-law and nephew. Her brother (who owns the farm) is off fighting in Washington's army. Like the women in her family, she practices the old traditions of home remedies and Irish white witchcraft.

Phineas - (Duncan) - 45, a gray haired (used to be red) scientist who has never undergone regeneration. His blue eyes sees things many of his colleagues don't, so he is considered paranoid. A view that isn't hurt by the fact that both his assistants are cousins of his and he can't stand visitors to his lab.

Phineas's lab assistants:

Robert - Chief assistant, in his mid 30's, closely resembles Phineas and thinks him a genius if not always sure of some of Phineas's more radical ideas.

William - A college grad student who is in awe of Phineas, who he considers the best and brightest Minyos 2 has to offer. He also has his family's red hair and blue eyes.

Kit O'Hara - The most popular field reporter for Pan-O-Vision holographic television news network. She looks like a beautiful girl in her mid 20's (is actually over 60 but already has regenerated five times), Her sweet always smiling persona is reserved for when on air, when not on camera she is polite to those above her and a foul beast to her unfortunate camera man.

Uri - Kit's camera man, keeps an unlit cigar in his mouth and his holo-cam on his shoulder ready to go. Ignores Kit's harangues and temper tantrums, perhaps that why he has lasted longer than any other one. Almost 4 months now.

Sophey Kless - A Grey templed woman in her second regeneration and the President of the Council of Minyos. As reasonable and as pragmatic as any elected official can be.

Polly - President Kless's personal assistant. She is strongly dedicated to the good of the people, just as long as it doesn't interfere with her personal gain in any way.

The Vorlox - An energy that feeds on negative thoughts and emotions. It attacks Minyos 2 because of their Pacification Rays and their experiments into time travel are a threat to it's very existence.

Citizens of Minyos 2 - as needed

Ghosts of Minyos 1 - They are trying to warn Minyos 2 of the Vorlox.

PREVIOUSLY

Ghosts from Minyos appear to the scientist Phineas, taking advantage of his experiments in brainwave communication to warn him that an energy being called the Vorlox will attack Minyos 2's Millennium
Celebration.

Phineas tries to warn the police but they not only don't believe him, they zap him with a Pacifier Ray. The failure of the ray proves to Phineas that the attack has already begun. The celebration that night is disrupted be the Vorlox. Phineas goes to the Quest Museum and sends out a
distress call.

EARLY BEGINNING

GOVERNMENT BUNKER (President Kless, Polly assortedgovernment types)

An underground heavily shielded bunker is activated. The President encourages everyone as they set up a massive communication center.
While running a security scan and review, Polly learns of the Vorlox. She closes the door to her office and smiles. Her chance for personal power has arrived. She sits at her desk and punches keys on her computer setting up a secure line to the office of Kit O'Hara.

BEGINNING

TARDIS (The Doctor and Ravena)

The Doctor tries to explain to Ravena where they are. As he attempts to show her some of the TARDIS, they encounter some difficulties. As the Doctor works on the console, an alarm sounds and the Time Rotor begins to oscillate.

PHINEAS'S LAB (Kit O'Hara, Uri)

Kit and Uri sneak into Phineas's lab. Kit tells Uri of the call she recieved from Polly as they search. Finding a locked cabinet Kit takes out a hairpin and tries to pick the lock. Failing she gets angry and Uri offers to show her how a professional thief would do it. Taking a large screwdriver he breaks the cabinet open. Inside they find 4 spare headbands that Phineas has adopted to defend against the Vorlox. Hearing something outside they each grab one and slip out.

MIDDLE

TARDIS (The Doctor, Ravena)

The TARDIS materializes. When Ravena asks where they are, the Doctor tells her to see for herself and points to the door controls. Her efforts are rewarded with a shower of sparks.

Eventually the Doctor is able to open the doors and they find they are on the outskirts of a large city. The Doctor examines the console and informs Ravena that they are on Minyos 2. He then opens an old roll top desk and stuffs his pockets. They exit and Ravena asks now what. The Doctor points to the city and they start out.

PHINEAS'S LAB (Phineas, Robert, Willam and later, ghosts)

Phineas and his assistants return to the lab and discover the cabinet, it's doors broken and two of the headbands missing. Phineas deduces that there must be a traitor on Minyos 2. Ghosts materilize and Phineas reports his actions. When he tells them he has sent a distress call to the ancient gods they approve.

ENDING

STREET FAIR (Vorlox and various Minyons)

The chaos continues. The Police realising that the Pacifier Rays are uselss, attempt to control the mob. Hopelessly outnumbered they retreat in defeat. The Vorlox laughs euphorically and feeds, growing ever stronger.

STREETS OF MINYOS 2 (the Doctor, Ravena, Phineas, Vorlox, various Minyons)

Ravena asks the Doctor how will he find the one that sent the distress call. He produces a tracer from his pocket and they follow it's display. They meet an obviously disturbed Phineas, who removes the signalling device from his coat as the proximity to the tracker causes it to chirp. Phineas babbles about the Vorlox threat and the ghosts of Minyos despite his near panic at losing Willam and Robert in the raging mob. Phineas explains their purpose and tries to give them the last two headbands. Ravena accepts hers but the Doctor insists he doesn't need it, that his superior brain doesn't need the device. Ravena suggests their has been no evidence in their time together of any great mental control on the Doctor's part. He is at first angered, but finally puts on the headband.

The Vorlox senses that two of the minds he was feeling had seemed to vanish. It orders the local Minyons under it's control to find them and seize them. With the mob in hot pursuit the Doctor retreats to the TARDIS with Ravena and Phineas.

LATE ENDING

TARDIS (The Doctor, Ravena, Phineas, rioting Minyons)

Forced to hide in the TARDIS, the Doctor opens the viewing screen to show the mob trying to break in. The Doctor is confident that they are safe, when he sees some of the locals walking slowly through the crowd outside. THEY ARE CARING SHIELD GUNS LOOTED FROM THE
QUEST MUSEUM!

Next time...

The Doctor and his friends are safe from the mob. But for how long? To join the group and get next week's script by e-mail, please use our web sign up page or e-mail AlxKeegan2@aol.com.
