Articles The Time Machination by Sharon Robertson Case File #3

*Side Note.Since I have never come across or read this particular story, everything is of my own writing using the Tardis Data Core info on this particular story as a reference guide.*

Subjects of this particular file are as follows:

* 10th Doctor incarnation. along with his 4th and 6th versions.

* Writer H.G. Wells

* Eliza Cooper & Robert Lewis (agents of Torchwood)

*Jonathan Smith (51st century time traveller & enemy of the doctor)

Details...

London 1889

This Case file details the encounters of the renowned author H.G. Wells with the Subject known only as The Doctor. On one previous occasion the man became a companion for a time with said subject.

According to the files that particular version was the Doctor's 6th incarnation and his then current companion of the time. Torchwood agents while interrogating Mr Wells before releasing him back into society and home found that on this occasion, he had helped the Doctor prevail against two alien adversaries known only as: Morlox & Borad. Both of these species are as yet unknown to Torchwood at the present time.

It would also come to the attention of the Torchwood institute that two other incarnations of the Doctor would appear during this time period. One being the 10th and his current companion, one Rose Tyler who both encountered the monarch Queen Victoria saving her 10 years previous to this date from a werewolf causing the Queen to create the Torchwood Institute. During this time this particular incarnation was looking to refuel his time travel machine that he refers to as the Tardis in such a way so as not to attract the attention of Torchwood or any of our agents that may have been in that area due to the fact that he was unable to achieve his goal of refuelling at the Rift in the centre of Cardiff here on planet Earth since it is one of our main Hubs of the organization.

Our agents at the time, one Eliza Cooper and Robert Lewis were in fact in the area at the time and detected chronal energy and followed it to its focal point there they would fail in their task of capturing the Doctor or his TARDIS and instead capture a man known as Jonathan Smith. It would turn out that this man was responsible for the chronal energy discharges that would enable our agents to track him to his point of origin which just happened to coincide with where the subject known as the Doctor was currently situated. It is unfortunate that the Doctor was able to refuel and leave the area before he was captured.

Jonathan Smith on the other hand was shot and stunned by agents and then taken to be interrogated at the West Indian docks of London. They would learn only that this man was also a time traveller and the Doctor's enemy before he would disappear from the base never to be seen or heard from again. Torchwood and its agents continually defend the planet from any alien incursions that may arise while trying to track down the subject for capture and interrogation.

As for the author H.G Wells, he would notify our agents that he would re - encounter the 10th Doctor while on his way home from being released from their base. The subject it seems encouraged the man to continue his penmanship of his future stories such as The War of the Worlds he would not only write but come to publish later in his life. It also came to us from him of his only other encounter with the Doctor this time in his 4th incarnation along with the current companion of the time a most unusual woman called Leela of the Savateem.  Apparently seeing this version of the man arrive would give the writer all he required to write the book he would publish later entitled The Time Machine.

It is most unfortunate that at the present time we are unable to provide photographic images of all subjects within this case file but should any appear at a later date it will of course be added to the case file.

Spearhead from space

*Side Note. This particular episode was the first episode of Doctor Who that would be seen in colour. It is also the first episode where we learn about the Doctor's binary vascular system. Small amount of ref info comes from the Invasion episode the rest from Spearhead from Space. Dealing with U.N.I.T.’s creation and their first alien encounters of Cybermen and Autons along with 2/3rd doctor incarnations*.

3rd Incarnation of the Doctor was present during this particular incident.

Subject U.N.I.T. (Unified Intelligence Task Force) created in the early 20th century. their first encounter with this Doctor was at Oxley Woods, his arrival coincided with a meteor shower.

U.N.I.T forces would be sent to investigate and find him. He would then be taken to Ashbridge cottage hospital until his recovery then be transferred to U.N.I.T. HQ.

This particular organization was created in the early 20th century to replace a failed organization known only as Longbow. That obsolete organization was disbanded when it failed to prevent WWII.

One of the early incidents that the new task force was to come across was The Invasion led by a race known as Cybermen. During this time the head of the organization one Alistair Gordon Lethbridge Stewart would come to meet the man known only as The Doctor for the first time as he was yet to encounter him before this time. The Doctor and his companions at this time, one Scotsman by the name of Jamie McCrimmon and a woman named Zoe Heriot with U.N.I.T.’s aid would defeat the incursion of these creatures called Cybermen upon planet Earth.

U.N.I.T would later learn that the cybermen were in fact once human beings but that doesn't matter at present. It would be a long time before Torchwood agents would record the details for their countless case files.

This particular case file refers to the spearhead from space incident lead by the 3rd incarnation of the Doctor during his exile here on planet Earth and because he chose to work alongside U.N.I.T.

Agents of Torchwood would be unable to capture or interrogate him. He would also come to work alongside a woman known as Liz Shaw one of U.N.I.T.'s very own personnel that would for a short time become his companion. Torchwood infiltrators within the organization would come to study the Doctor and learn of his binary vascular system, they would also record how his own people had exiled him to our planet for, as they put it, defying the laws of his own kind with his perpetual interference when it was forbidden by his own race.  This particular case pertained to an alien lifeform known as the Nestene Consciousness. A creature that could take over and control inanimate objects and give them life such as shop store mannequin’s which would be given the name Auton's.

Though Torchwood agents were not allowed to intervene in anything at this time they were there to record incidents of meteorites and people vanishing from the area including an attempt to kidnap said Doctor. No, Torchwood was not responsible for this action though they were thinking about it at the time. The attempted kidnapping failed and the Doctor joined U.N.I.T. to solve the disappearances.

It also comes to Torchwood’s attention that a study is made on the Doctor while he was relegated there. X-rays of him showing his binary vascular system and a Tox screen concerning his blood. Both of these Torchwood would learn, disappeared from the cottage hospital along with any other records concerning the Doctor.

Eventually Torchwood would be there when U.N.I.T. along with the Doctor would go up against the Nestene Consciousness and its Auton creations over the meteorites among other things. They would watch and record everything that they were able to including the Autons demise along with the Nestene. The meteors too would disappear without a trace. The Doctor would spend the next 2 and a half years working alongside U.N.I.T. before his exile would be lifted under the alias John Smith. There is of course a lot of information that Torchwood was unable to either access or retrieve for their own files but we were able to retrieve other information such as...

UNIT BASES: Black Archive, Boat One, C-130 Hercules, North America, Starling, Tower of London, Tulloch, Underbase 3, UNIT Base 5, UNIT Central Control., UNIT HQ, UNIT Moonbase. UNIT New York City Base, Valiant (aircraft carrier), The Vault (UNIT), WOTAN 1.

By this time one of our agents that worked for one Captain Jack Harkness had been recruited by us and was left to run more than one Torchwood hub from Torchwood India, Torchwood 1 etc. By the above date Captain Harkness had been involved in the take over and running of our Cardiff hub known as Torchwood 3. also left in charge of controlling the Rift that runs through that particular city and any and all alien lifeforms and or technology that is deposited on planet earth via said rift.  All Torchwood members are aware of exactly who the Captain is and what his true agenda is concerning the Doctor. until then the Captain refrains from encountering any pre incarnation to the ones that he was first to encounter namely the 9/10th incarnations.

Articles Alien Youth Serum by Sharon Robertson Case File #1

Well it’s the 1890's just before Her Majesty Queen Victoria retires from public life for the last time so that others may take over the Royal duties for the kingdom. Back then the organization of Torchwood that her majesty had set up was hidden beneath the National Museum long before it became situated at Canary Wharf. But the Cardiff hub was itself already in place and its head, one Captain Jack Harkness, that's me by the way, was right there when the trouble ensued.

Her Majesty was arriving for a tour of inspection and was also there to make a decision on whether the organization itself would continue or be disbanded and closed for all time and everyone was determined to make sure that she would be impressed enough to let things continue as they are, that things wouldn't go wrong.

Well we all know how that turned out now don't we?

Just before her arrival we were in the middle of conducting an inspection of an alien sarcophagi with occupant for the files when Her Majesty arrived to conduct her inspection. That's when things started to go wrong almost immediately. While I, Captain Harkness was entertaining Her Majesty, Archie, head of this section of Torchwood was attacked by the occupant of the sarcophagi. Believing the alien dead little security precautions had been taken during its study. Unfortunately, the creature was still alive and sucked most of the life out of Archie before escaping into London.

From Torchwood base to Hyde park to the slums of the city and the underground train system Her Majesty along with myself went on the hunt for the creature. The alien though it would never be identified at the end, as it would die at the hands of the elderly people in the underground, at Her Majesty's request, was supposed to provide some unknown person with eternal youth, when it would be used to suck out the life of the young and fit and bestow it upon the unknown person. The creature would not suck the life from the old infirm or elderly which Her Majesty came to realise was the key to killing it.

After the successful completion of this adventure I, Captain Jack Harkness returned to Cardiff, and Her Majesty returned to the palace and retired from public life.

Torchwood continues to this day to protect humanity and Earth from alien incursion. The populace forgot all about the alien due to a multitude of rumours and the sarcophagi was stored in the Torchwood archives.

Locations Children of Earth: Day One by DJ Forrest

Due to the Doctor’s heavy workload at the moment, and new wardrobe, I’ve taken up the reins of this Page for the time being.

Much of these locations are using Roald Dahl Plass as the starting point or Cardiff in general. Depending where you're located, you can use Satnav or other apps to locate your destination possibly quicker.

The Coal Exchange, Mount Stuart Square, Cardiff Bay

Has been located several times before so please look through past location Pages for this.

Hebron Hall, Cross Common Road, Dinas Powys, Vale of Glamorgan, CF64 4YB

Hebron Hall was opened in 1983 as a Christian Centre, which is owned and administered by an independent, non-denominational charitable trust. It's located on the outskirts of Dinas Powys, in the Vale of Glamorgan.

It is four miles from Cardiff and within easy reach of the Brecon Beacons and the beaches and coastal towns along the South Wales coast as far as the Gower Peninsula. It boasts a conference Centre, Leisure Facilities, Care Home and Kings Court for Independent Living, and on Saturday 13th October 2018 hosts its Autumn Oasis Conference for ladies, running from 10am.

For filming purposes it acted as a Nursing Home in COE Day One for Clement McDonald

To find Hebron Hall, the website www.hebronhall.org advise not using a satnav for locations but rather the directions on their website.

How to get there:

Leave M4 at Junction 33, taking first exit at A4232 following signs for Airport and Barry. Pass slip road entrance to the Museum of Welsh Life and leave the dual carriageway after approx. 3 miles from Junction 33 at Culverhouse Cross interchange. Near top of slip road, use the centre lane (traffic lights in operation) and take third exit on to A4050 following signs for Airport and Barry. Travel straight across two sets of traffic lights which is the first of a series of roundabouts. Continue straight across each of four roundabouts. Ignore the turn off when you see sign for Dinas Powys on fourth roundabout.

At fifth roundabout take the first exit on to A4231 signposted Sully, Docks. At first roundabout (Lidl Store on RHS) go straight across. At next roundabout (McDonalds on RHS) take the first exit (left) onto A4055 following signs for Dinas Powys. After about 3/4 mile you will pass 30mph signs and the entrance to Cog Moors Waste Water Treatment works. After approx a further 1/2 mile Hebron Hall is signposted to the right. There is a filter lane to turn right off the A4055 and after approx 150 yards, turn sharp left at the Hebron Hall sign, travel another 50 yards and the entrance to Hebron Hall is on your right hand side.

If you are visiting, it's likely you will need to book in advance - for conferences and the like, I don't think you can visit at the drop of a hat.

To travel by train you would need the train destinations for Barry Island or Bridgend.

Doctor Who episodes filmed there were Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead as well as The Big Bang.

Brangwyn Hall takes its name from the artist Frank Brangwyn who created the famous panels destined for the House of Lords, which commemorated the First World War but were rejected because they were too colourful and spirited. So, they are displayed in the Hall instead.

Coedarhydyglyn, St Nicholas, Cardiff, Vale of Glamorgan, CF5 6SF

The house with grounds covering 50 hectares are not open to the public and are for ornamental purposes only.

Coedarhydyglyn is an ornamental landscape park created in the early 19th century that has survived in its entirety. The walls of a late 18th century kitchen garden survive. In the early 20th century a woodland dell was designed by Alfred Parsons and partners with a Japanese flavour, with a woodland containing conifers and rhododendrons, which some were planted for scientific or ornamental purposes in the 1940s and 50s.

The build of the current house began in 1820, replacing an earlier structure, with further development of the gardens during the 20th century.

This is a private house on land which is owned by the Traherne family dating back to Henry VII. Rhodri Traherne who currently owns the building, was worried when Cybermen crashed through 12ft x 4ft windows of the house that had been in his family for 200 years. They left silver paint marks as they scuffed their way through doors not meant for such bulky bodies to fit through, but the Doctor Who crew touched up all the paintwork so incredibly well that it was hard to spot where they'd once been.

This property was used for Inside Grayle's Mansion in The Angels Take Manhattan, Brian's Study and The Savoy in The Power of Three, Ealing Circle Nature Reserve for The Empty Planet, Days 1 - 5 of COE for Prime Minister's Office and 10 Downing Street, and for the Doctor Who two parter Rise of the Cybermen and Age of Steel and of course Tyler Residence in Doomsday.

There is no access to this property and land for fans to visit. Many of the routes have restrictions due to many leading to private roads.

Fields Park Avenue, Allt-Yr-Yn, Newport, NP20

I'm not surprised Rhys was checking out properties in this area especially if it's Torchwood money paying for them. They're a bit on the pricey range according to Zoopla.

This location has been used before in Torchwood so check back in our previous posts.

  

Although I’ve come to discover that a number of other locations were used for smaller scenes in Day One, Children of Earth, these were the most prominent of them during the series.
