Chapter 13 - "Rebirth" by Robert Michael Huberty

The Third Doctor and Jo Grant arrive on the planet Osmyr to visit the
legendary Waterfalls.  But Osmyr is torn between forces loyal to the
Monarch, who has disappeared, and President Leian, who captures
the Doctor and Jo.  Leian hands over his son, Helran, and the Doctor
to a race of blue-skinned reptiles known as the Hirathain.  The
Hirathain claim to be on a quest for knowledge to  become the
dominant species in the galaxy.  After being shot down by an
Ornithian ship, the Doctor meets the Hirathain Head Scientist, a
mentally unstable humanoid.  
     Meanwhile, Jo, escaping from the Fereth -- poisonous butterflies
released by a group of guards secretly working against the President --
befriends Neshyp, an Osmyrian villager.  Jo is affected by the healing
properties of the Osmyrian water, and begins to metamorphosise. 
They hide out in the TARDIS, but Jo accidentally activates it, causing
the TARDIS to take her to the planet on which the Doctor has
crashed.  The Ornithians capture Jo and amputate her leg to stop the
spread of the metamorphosis, but the infection has already spread,
and her leg grows back.  She finally completes her metamorphosis,
into a bird-like Ornithian.
     The Hirathain Head Scientist is revealed to be a Time Lord
whose memory the Hirathain have wiped.  The Hirathain have
mutated his TARDIS into a device which will give President Leian
the power to pilot his planet anywhere in the galaxy.  Secretly,
though, the Hirithain plan to pilot it into the Ornithian home world,
destroying two birds with one stone.  To stop the Osmyr-TARDIS,
the Doctor and Helran, who has a telepathic link to the Monarch,
enter the Monarch's mind to make Osmyr overshoot the Ornithian
home world.  Using the TARDIS, the Doctor restores the Monarch's
memory, and the Monarch takes control of his TARDIS again.  The
Doctor restores Jo to normal using the healing properties of the
Osmyrian falls and a sample of her DNA.

This story takes place between the television episodes "Planet of the
Daleks" and "The Green Death."

The Sixth Doctor and Peri attend Susan Foreman's funeral, where
they meet Jenny Foreman-Campbell, Susan's orphaned
granddaughter.  Taking Jenny with them, they are hijacked by
humanized Daleks descended from the Daleks the Second Doctor
injected with the "Human Factor" (see "Evil of the Daleks").  The
humanized Daleks, led by Varus, are losing the war with the Imperial
Daleks, and have sought the Doctor's help.  When the humanized
Dalek base is overrun by Imperial Daleks, the Doctor, Peri, Jenny,
and several of the humanized Daleks escape.  Peri is captured by a
Spider-Dalek, one of the original creations of the humanized Daleks.
     Meanwhile, the Sarcopti, a creature capable of altering time
which had been banned to the vortex by the First Doctor and Susan
when Susan sacrificed her remaining regenerations to imprison it,
finds a way back into real time using the Daleks' time corridor.  The
Sarcopti takes over Captain Visiam Bonna-Lunn, a nearby freighter
pilot, and begins restructuring history to prevent the Doctor from
destroying Skaro.  As it tries to restructure the Doctor's personal
history, it finds the task harder than it expected, and the Doctor's
alternate selves fight back to prevent Bonna-Lunn's ship from
appearing in the right place to serve as host for the Sarcopti.  When
the timestream settles down, Jenny is now a later regeneration of
Susan, and the Sarcopti uses the Spider-Dalek as a host. The Doctor
plans to use the Imperial Dalek fleet to destroy the Sarcopti, but the
Time Lords -- using Vipod Mor as their agent -- intervene, placing a
chronon shell around the planet which kills all of the humanized
Daleks, but the Sarcopti escapes in the Doctor's TARDIS.  In its final
confrontation with the Doctor, the Sarcopti is launched forward into
infinity, and the Doctor erases all traces of its presence from history. 
Doing so, though, he finds himself back at Susan's funeral, she
having given her lives to eliminate it in the beginning.  The story ends
with the Seventh Doctor reciting the terrible tale to Mel.

This story takes place after the radio serial "Slipback" and between
the television episodes "Revelation of the Daleks" and "Trial of a
Time Lord."

who are making a pilgrimage to Olympus Mons.  Unbeknownst to
them, an Osiran named Kohentan has already landed, and under the
guise of searching for a lost Osiran colony, is planning to mutate his
body and kill the rest of the Osirans with a plague hidden in the
colony below.  Kohentan captures Victoria and uses her as his
servant. The Doctor and Jamie, with the help of Ssturn and Sskrantz,
learn that Kohentan is a renegade servant of Horus, and set out to free
Victoria.  Before they reach Kohentan, they are intercepted by
Senkra, another Osiran in the service of Horus and Ra, who straps

The First Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Susan land in Mombasa, Kenya,
where they discover bizarre genetic experiments being conducted by a
Madam Zodin, a one-time sword swallower now obsessed with
eternal life and world domination.  Zodin captures the Doctor, but the
others escape.  Susan strikes up a friendship with one of Zodin's half-
human/half-tiger mutant experiments.  Ian is captured by a man
named Osaka who claims to be one of Zodin's business partners, but
is in reality Creed, a cop from New York.  The time-space vortex
begins to break down as it is revealed that Zodin is experimenting
with DNA found from a wounded, time-sensitive Tharil.  Barbara
and Ian meet up with the Eighth Doctor and Grace, who, learning that
the Doctor's past self is there, decide to clear off, but not before
giving Barbara the password to Zodin's computer system and
warning Barbara and Ian of what is to come.  Barbara hacks into
Zodin's computer system, destroying the security net so that Creed
and UNIT -- led by Captain Forrester and Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart
-- can make a raid on Zodin's compound.  Zodin takes some genetic
samples from the Doctor, in the hope of splicing his time-sensitive
DNA into the missing genes of the Tharil chromosomes.  When she
does, she discovers nanobots in the Doctor's body, which she injects
into herself to give her the powers of regeneration and
time-sensitivity.
The tiger-man whom Susan met turns out to be Richard McIlveen, 
Creed's telepathic son, whom Zodin mutated in order to create a Tharil
capable of mind-controlling and enslaving the others.  Unfortunately,
Rick is destined to become the "Black King," the Tharil who betrays
his people to the Gundans, and for whom the other Tharils have been
searching.  As his redemption for this betrayal, he uses his mind
powers to take over Zodin, preventing her from conducting any more
experiments and from enslaving the Tharil race.

This story takes place between the television episodes "The Reign of
Terror" and "Planet of Giants."

In the Chylan system, the Seventh Doctor and Ace encounter the mad
prophet a!Gel, whose case of multidimensional dementia causes
strange incidents in the space-time continuum and makes the Doctor
blind.  Months later, Ace and the Doctor (who is still blind) arrive on
the arboreal planet of Dusa-Loka, twin planet of Deva-Loka, to try to
correct the damage.  When Ace vanishes, the Doctor encounters two
natives, Vivienne and Furze, who try to help him.  Meanwhile, Karol,
a religious leader of Dusa-Loka, awaits the return of a secret mission
sent to finish decoding an age-old prophecy of the prophet a!Gel. 
Unfortunately, the mission ship is destroyed by a mysterious enemy
which has been decimating Dusa-Lokan ships.  A single escape pods
survives and makes it to the planet below.  Ace, who has been held
prisoner below ground by a mysterious brown ooze, is released when
the Doctor makes a pact with an agressive psychic entity calling itself
an "angel."  Ace soon meets up with Krzysztof, the survivor of the
crash, and with Joseph, a Third Reich Nazi who has been transported
to Dusa-Loka by a!Gel's multidimensional dementia.  They meet the
possessed Doctor at the TARDIS, and the Angel transfers itself to
Joseph.  The Doctor takes them all to Karol's ship, the Proust, where
the Doctor reveals the meaning of the prophecy which the members
of Karol's religious order have spent their entire existence trying to
decipher: "Beware of ourselves.  Beware of the Angels."  The entity
inside Joseph reveals itself to be the mind of the neighboring planet
Deva-Loka, one of the Kaep Twin planets which were birthed by the
group-mind of the third planet of the system, Dhukka.  When Dhukka
attempted to give birth, a!Gel's insane perception of the universe
caused the offspring to split in a dichotomy of good and evil.  To stop
the chaotic warring of Dusa-Loka's group mind (which has been
destroying the Dusa-Lokan ships), Joseph destroys its chimes,
bringing the twin worlds together as one, reversing the effects of the
multidimensional dementia, and restoring the Doctor's sight.

This story takes place between the television episode "Survival" and
the television movie "Doctor Who."
