Doctor Who 50th Anniversary : Meglos




Doctor Who: 
Meglos 
By John Flanagan & Andrew McCulloch

“Flies trapped in amber. Not even the Doctor can escape a chronic hysteretic loop.”

Meglos wants the Dodecahedron and he wants it in a really bad way.  He has intercepted a call from Tigella to The Doctor that there leader Zastor needs his help to solve their power problems.   So Meglos puts the TARDIS in a chronic hysteretic loop trapping The Doctor so he can take his place by posing as him. 

Meglos succeeds for a while as he does manage to steal the Dodecahedron and causing the people of Tigella an immense crisis as they will only have 2 hours until their underground city loses all power and cease to function to support life.  When The Doctor and Romana do break free of the timeloop they get to Tigella to late as Meglos has already stolen the Dodecahedron and now The Doctor has been accused of stealing it.   Lexa is not convinced of The Doctors sincerity in claiming he was set up by a doppelganger and she thinks the gods need to be appeased by sacrificing The Doctor.  A lot on The Doctor’s plate this time as he must stop Meglos from creating an immense weapon of great power with the Dodecahedron.
