Terror of the Vervoids: Part One

In 2986 AD, aboard the space liner Hyperion III, Doctor and Mel arrive responding to a distress call; communications officer Edwardes is found incapacitated, and the Hydroponics labs are hiding strange plant pods. The Doctor and Mel begin investigating missing pieces: “Demeter seeds” have been stolen, and someone deep in the ship is trying to keep secrets. Suspicion mounts when a passenger whose identity seems familiar dies under strange circumstances.

Terror of the Vervoids: Part Two

More people disappear or are killed; the plant pods have been tampered with and the Vervoids—sentient plant creatures—are unleashed. Mel gathers clues via the hydroponics centre; the Doctor uncovers evidence of sabotage among the scientists Bruchner, Doland, and Professor Lasky. Alongside the plant threat, tensions rise among the native species aboard the ship (the Mogarians), and the threat becomes existential: the Vervoids intend to eliminate animal life for their own survival.

Terror of the Vervoids: Part Three

The Doctor and Mel strive to find a solution as the Vervoids rampage. Ruth Baxter, once human, is revealed to be partially transformed by the Vervoid biology. Lasky attempts negotiation but is betrayed; the Vervoids claim to have no alternative but to kill—or be killed. On top of that, mutinous activity among the crew and alien collaborators threatens the ship. The Doctor works toward a radical plan involving rare metal vionesium.

With the Vervoids’ threat fully unleashed, the Doctor uses vionesium to force the plants into their natural death cycle under light and oxygen. The final confrontation sees the Vervoids withering and dying; those survivors aboard Hyperion III escape the carnage. The Doctor and Mel depart in the TARDIS, leaving a ship badly shaken but saved—and the moral cost of extinguishing a sentient species unspoken in this version.

Meanwhile, Mel is separated and makes first contact with Lakertya natives, including the rebellious Ikona, while trying to flee from the Rani’s minions.

Time and the Rani: Part Two Extended Edition

Still suffering from amnesia and deception, the Doctor is manipulated by the disguised Rani—forced to fix her machine without knowing its purpose. Mel and Ikona attempt to uncover more of the Rani’s plot, navigate through traps, and rescue local allies. The true nature of the machine begins to come to light: kidnapped geniuses, strange matter, and a time-manipulating brain.

Time and the Rani: Part Three Extended Edition

Mel is captured; the Doctor is drawn deeper into the Rani’s scheme as he comes to distrust the false “Mel.” He discovers the Rani’s fixed-trajectory rocket aimed at a strange-matter asteroid.
