Doctor Who: Mystery in Polonia
Tegan Jovanka wandered through the TARDIS corridors. It had been a while since the ship had landed. While she had enjoyed the time she had spent with the Doctor (and occasionally Turlough) reading in the library, she wanted to get out and about. ‘I can see he has accumulated most of those books on his travels. They are not all from Gallifrey,’ she thought as she came to the Console Room. It was empty. The Doctor was elsewhere in the ship, but she could see the that they were still in flight.
“Where are we headed, then?”

There was no response from the console, not that she expected any.

“Where’s the Doctor?”

There was a beep as if to say ‘none of your business.’

“Have it your way,” she said. She decided to go and find him.


The Doctor was in the kitchen. He was a little annoyed at the TARDIS for just drifting in the vortex. Sure, he liked spending time with Tegan, but he wanted to get out there and make a difference. ‘Besides, the longer I spend in the vortex, the more likely the Time Lords would stick their noses in,’ he thought. “Are you going somewhere, old girl?” he asked. He got the sense that his ship was indeed going somewhere, but was taking her time about it. He sighed. ‘I better check the Console,’ he thought.

As he headed to the Console room, he saw Turlough watching the end of a British movie from the ‘60’s in one of the theatres.


As Tegan left the Console Room, she saw the Doctor come around one of the corners. “There you are!” she chided.

“You were looking for me?” he asked in mock surprise.

“I’m bored. The ship may be huge, but I’d like to be somewhere, even if it may be dangerous.”

“Be careful for what you wish for,” the Doctor said.

Tegan frowned.

“Brave heart, Tegan,” the Doctor said, as he took her hand in a comforting gesture.

She had to admit, holding his hand was calming. “Thanks.”

He led her back to the Console Room.


Turlough entered the Console Room to see that the TARDIS was still in flight, and the Doctor and Tegan standing very close to each other as they both scrutinized the readouts on the Console. That was one thing that was annoying. It made him feel like he was a ‘third wheel’ or something. He cleared his throat and the two stepped away from each other as they noticed them. He saw Tegan blushing as they did so.

“Turlough, how was the movie?” the Doctor asked.

“It was, interesting,” he answered. “We still haven’t landed anywhere, I see.”

“No, we haven’t,” Tegan said.

“The TARDIS is certainly taking it’s time isn’t it?”

“Yes…”

However, at that moment the rotor on the console stopped moving with the usual voorp! voorp! sound. The ship had landed.


Tegan stepped outside first. She saw that the ship had materialized in a mid-sized park in a city somewhere. She knew that it wasn’t on Earth as she could see two moons that were both half the apparent size of Earths’ moon, one nearer to the horizon than the other. ‘One must be larger and further away,’ she thought, remembering something the Doctor had told her about orbital mechanics at some point.

The Doctor and Turlough followed her out. “Polonia,” the Doctor said.

“You recognize it from the moons?” Tegan asked.

“Not only that, but some of the vegetation in this park,” the Doctor answered.

She looked around.

Turlough then approached the group. “Who is this then?” he asked.

“She hasn't yet given me her name,” the Doctor said.

“Felicia Lovell.”

“You know who I am, but this is Tegan Jovanka, and that is Turlough.”

“I see,” Felicia said. “But we can talk more in the kitchen or the console room?”

“The kitchen,” Tegan suggested.

“The kitchen it is,” the Doctor said.
