Excerpt from: The Many Doctors

“That is so...” he began before an interuption happened. An alarm sounded and the venders started closing up shop.

The Doctor called the three of them over. They went over, Adam still holding onto Rose's phone...


Soon...

“Now everyone behave,” the newswoman, Cathica said. “We have a management inspection. How do you want it? By the book?”

“Right from stratch, thanks,” the Doctor answered.

“OK. So, ladies, gentlemen, multi-sex, undecided or robot – my name is Cathica Santini Khadeni. That's Cathica with a C, in case you want to write to Floor Five Hundred praising me and please do. Now, please feel free to ask any questions. The process of news gathering must be open, honest, and beyond bias. That's company policy.”

“Actually, that's the law,” Suki said.

Excerpt from: Galactic Journeys

Chapter 57: Runaway's Return

As Quinn went on his way, Christian thought. 'That went well. I wonder how he would react to Cameron?'


Quinn soon arrived home, and found his father there waiting for him.


Chapter 58: Caretaker of the Apmao

“Captain, something's out there,” Clinton-Ford reported.

“I need a better description than that, Ms. Clinton-Ford!” The captain said with slight snark.

Ford-Clinto stepped closer to her console. “I’m reading, I’m not sure what I’m reading.”
 
“Can you get the viewscreen operational?” the captain asked.

Ford-Clinto turned to the panels behind her console “I'm trying.”


Chapter 59: First Day of Summer

“Where are we going first?” Stevie asked.

“We are going to meet Lindy,” Quinn said.

“Hmpf! Where does he work?” Sandy asked.


Chapter 60: Legacy of Deep Breath

“The Captain,” Samson said.

“Can she see us?” Clarence asked.

“Dormant,” Samson replied.

“Hoping?”

“She's recharging. She's asleep. Doesn't even know that we're here.”

“Are you sure?” Clarence asked.

“No,” Samson said.

“OK. So, half-human, half-robot. A cyborg, yeah?”

“Yes. Look at the hands.”

“What about them?”

“They don't match. Those hands don't belong to the same body.”

Clarence looked at the half-face woman's hands. One was large and fleshy, a workman's hand. The other was slim and dainty, having never scrubbed a floor in it's life. “I don't understand,” he said.

“This isn't a normal cyborg. This isn't a woman turning herself into a robot. It's a robot turning itself into a female human, piece by piece.

“That's what the restaurant's for.”

“It would need a constant supply of spare parts.”

The half-face woman's arms moved, causing the pair to jump back.

“Ah!” Clarence called out. The robot's arms grabbed the chair arms as clockwork whirred. “Is it awake?”

“Waking up! Let's go!” Samson said. They ran, and narrowly escaped being trapped in the chamber.

“So, there may be something in the town, an artefact created by the founding ceremony?” Myka asked.

“That has been proposed before,” Artie said.

“By me, in fact,” H.G. Interjected.

“And by others,” Artie continued.
