Holmes & Xara

 

6. Survival of the Daleks

Holmes & Xara are caught by a Kitling, transporting them to the planet of the Cheetah People, but there is a bigger threat.


Episode One

1. The TARDIS materialises on a distant unknown planet.  V5 remains in the TARDIS while Holmes and Xara explore.  There are crumbling buildings, but no sign of life.  This city was abandoned many years ago for sure.

Holmes "Here take this tablet?"

Xara "What for?"

Holmes "Scans revealed increased radiation, this will cancel it's effects."

Xara  "Why are we here?"

Holmes  "An unusual energy emission.  some kind of spatial anomaly."

Xara  "looks like we missed it... here what's that?  A cat... it looks lost.. here kitty..."

Holmes "Kitty?  No wait don't get too close..."

TOO LATE!

In flash the kitty leaps away and Holmes and Xara find themselves on another world... 

 

2.  Holmes and Xara find themselves in a desert, but with a thick fog.

Xara  "What happened?"

Holmes  "A Kitling.  An advance scout for the Cheetah People.  We have been teleported to their world."

Xara "Can we get back to the ship?"

Holmes, fiddling with a tech gizmo, "The radiation is greater here, it must be seeping through to where the ship is, I did mention some spatial rift.  If we find that we may get home."

Looking around there is no one about, the immediate area is rocky.  Then Xara spots the Kitling on a nearby rock.  The Kitling gives out a small meow and walks away, almost beckoning the time travellers to follow, and with no other option, they do.

 

3. They walk for just 10 minutes of so, then, in a clearing near rocky circle is a swirling portal.

Xara  "Well, that was easy."

Holmes  "Indeed. That Kitling brought us here for a reason, and showed us the way home."

 

4. Xara "And it's wants us to follow still."

Holmes  "I wonder if the Cheetah people are in some kind of distress???"

Holmes and Xara follow the Kitling some more and find a small encampment of Cheetah People.

5.  Several of the Cheetah People start to circle around Holmes and Xara.

Xara  "They don't look too friendly."

Holmes  "Yes, I was worried about that.  Even if they do need help their base hunting instincts may have kicked.

The Cheetah People Pounce and pin both Holmes and Xara to the ground...

... then suddenly the situation changes with a shrieking cry of "Chee-tah found... Ex-ter-min-ate!  Ex-ter-min-ate!"

 

Episode Two

6. Several Daleks attack using Stun Gas, incapacitating several of the Cheetah People. They spot Holmes & Xara but they are able to flee. 

Xara is stating to feel strange, angry.

Holmes and Xara find themselves hiding with one of the Cheetah People.  Carefully Holmes tries to communicate with them, and is able to get through.

They say the Daleks are taking them away to their camp.

 

7. The Dalek camp turns out to be a crashed Spaceship.  Holmes, Xara and the Cheetah find a safe path to the ship and are able to sneak aboard, the ship has many tears in it's hull.

Stealthily they have a look around the ship and Holmes discovers that it is the Dalek ship that is the cause of the radiation leak.

 

 

8. Xara is really not well and transforms into her Werewolf form!  She manages to keep some control but flies into a random fit of range and flees. The Cheetah follows, leaving Holmes alone on the Dalek ship.

 

9. Holmes is able to sneak into Dalek Control where only a single unaware Sentry is posted.

He tries hacking the Dalek computer but riggers and alarm.

 

10. Dalek "You are an en-er-my of the-da-leks!"

Holmes "Well, isn't every non-Dalek?"

Dalek  "Scan de-tect secon-dary heart, you are a Time Lord. You will Be EX-TER-MIN-ATED!"

Holmes  "First you will tell me why you are here!  And what do you want with the Cheetah People?"

While talking Holmes was studying the computer screens. 

Holmes  "Ah, I see, you crashed.  You created the portal but cannot pass through it, because only organic material can pass through.  You somehow lured the Cheetah People here in the hope they would take you home, but they didn't did they, they made this their home.  Now you're capturing them to try to lean their teleport ability.  Dear, dear you really are in a mess."

The Dalek points is laser gun at Holmes!

 

Episode Three

11. Dalek #1 "Ex-...Prey... Hunt... seek... hunt..."

Dalek #2 "Da-lek has Chee-tah corr-up-tion. DES-TROY DES-TROY!"

The Daleks in the Control room focusing on the rogue Dalek allow Holmes the chance to slip away.  Holmes hears Dalek fire and an explosion.

Holmes "Of course, the Daleks themselves are being corrupted by the Cheetah People.  Now where is that central computer... ah."

 

12. Holmes is able to access the Dalek computers (makes difficulty 18 roll). 

Holmes  "First to release the captive Cheetahs, and then to close the portal leaking radiation from this world.. oh yes, if I reverse the polarity... that should do it."

Holmes makes his escape from the crashed Dalek spaceship...

 

13.  Holmes does not get far when he is cornered by a Cheetah People hunting party... lead by a Werewolf... Xara!

Holmes cautiously approaches Xara.  He looks deep into her eyes.

Holmes  "Xara, are you in there?  Can you hear me."

She nods as suddenly there is a laser blast!

Daleks "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!"

The Cheetahs flee, Holmes with them.

 

14.  The Cheetahs are faster than the Daleks but the Daleks are relentless in their pursuit.

Holmes  "Xara.  We need to lead the Cheetah People away from here, to a new home.  This world will kill them with the radiation from that Dalek ship."

Xara nods, but gives a quizzical look.

Holmes  "Lead them home."

Xara  "Home?"

Holmes  "Yes, the ship.  The TARDIS."

Xara gives out an almighty howl (Spending a Story Point).  The Cheetah People hear, and howl in union.

The Daleks approach!

Xara grabs Holmes by the hand and runs, as do all the Cheetah People, and in a flash they disappear, teleporting to a new home.

 

15.  Holmes looks around.  The derelict buildings of this unknown planet.  And Xara is back into her normal human form.

Xara  "Did we make it?"

Holmes  "I think so.  There is the TARDIS."

The Cheetah People disperse, on a new hunt.  Holmes checks his radioactivity meter, and radiation is dropping.

Holmes and Xara enter the TARDIS and the ship disappears. 

Unnoticed, deep within the TARDIS cloisters is a small black Kitling, asleep gently purring to itself.
