Something Different


With the animated Doctor Who specials coming along nicely and plans for the first full series underway for next year I thought it a good time to start telling people about some of the other Doctor Who projects that I have done over the course of the last few years.

The first of my 'side' projects is a work of fan-fiction that I started over two years ago but am still writing now and involves the Tenth Doctor and Donna. It is a crossover story with the Terminator universe.


Although the story was started a long time ago it has been heavily modified and changed after the release of Terminator Salvation. I have no plans to film this as it is a story that I have written and want some of my projects to take different directions anyways.

I Have created a page for this story and shall be putting chapters up every now-and-again but I doubt it will become a regular thing for some time to come. The first part of the story; the Prologue follows as an introduction to the story and a starting point...

Doctor Who : Salvation

Prologue

On November 17th 2011 the artificial intelligence system known as skynet became self-aware and launched an all-out nuclear offensive on the Russian capital of Moscow. The Russian counter-offensive was quick and deadly and all but wiped out any threat that could have been posed to Skynet.

Many of the people that managed to survive the nuclear holocaust that followed were hunted down and killed by monstrous robotic henchmen known as ‘Terminators’ that has been created by Skynet. However it was not long until the survivors managed to galvanise their hope and form a rudimentary resistance against the oppression of Skynet. Led by a man named John Connor the resistance were the only hope for the human race.

During the early months of 2005 a young London girl by the name of Rose Marion Tyler was reported missing by her mother Jaqueline whom claimed that she had been kidnapped by a man calling himself ‘The Doctor’, miraculously Rose returned home a full year after she had gone missing in full health.

By the year 2029 Skynet, Knowing of Connors importance and knowing he needed to be terminated immediately sent a new model of Terminator, the T-101 back through time to the year 1984 to kill John Connors mother before he was even born. Upon learning of this threat the resistance managed to send a lone warrior by the name of Kyle Reese back to the same year to defeat the Terminator and protect Sarah Connor.

Kyle Reese ultimately succeeded in his mission but was also killed during a bloody final battle with the T-101. It also came to light a few months later that Sarah Connor was pregnant and that Kyle Reese was the father. This unborn baby was to grow up to be John Connor.

Eight years later a man by the name of Charles-Bennedict-Dyson, an employee of Cyberdine Industries came into possession of the robotic arm and micro-processor chip that was left over from the wreckage of the original T-101 from 1984. He was put in charge of the project to reverse engineer the chip and its technology. His discoveries and inventions would revolutionise the computing industry and eventually lead to the creation of Skynet and the downfall of mankind.

Three years later in 1995 a T-101 similar to the one that attacked Sarah Connor in 1984 arrives from the future. Programmed by John Connor himself this machine has the sole task of protecting this past version of Connor from the new model Terminator the T-1000 that has also been sent back from the future, but with the intention of killing both John and Sarah Connor.

Learning of Dysons discovery and the ultimate role that he will have to play in the events of Judgement day Sarah Connor declares that Cyberdine needs to be destroyed and Dyson stopped from ever making his inventions. They manage to destroy the cyberdine factory, killing Dyson and finally destroying the chip and arm that he found. The T-1000 is destroyed in molten steel and the T-101 self terminates also to avoid any more future technology being found and reverse engineered. Believing that they have averted Judgement Day Sarah and John Connor go into hiding to live out the rest of their lives.

During the years that followed the United Nations Intellegience Task Force UNIT came into the possession of plans for an advanced piece of alien technology known only as a ‘dimension cannon’ and began construction of a prototype model for testing.

However, the se events only postponed the inevitable, and on July 24, 2003 Connor, aided by future wife Kate Brewster and another T-100 that a future Kate sent back through time to aid John in a final struggle helplessly oversee the events of the nuclear war that John had feared all of his life.

The day that triggered these events has since become known as Judgement day.

But It is a day that should never have happened…
