Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: Vengeance On Varos





Doctor Who: 
Vengeance On Varos  
By Philip Martin

DOCTOR: My death will prevent Varos from ever progressing out of the reach of extortion of such as the Galatron Mining Company. Our deaths will send any hope for this planet back into the pit of fear and misery, which has for so long been the lot of its people.
SIL: Pull the lever! Stretch them out of this life!
DOCTOR: Wait! I came to this planet because I needed a new source of energy supply. My Tardis depends for its function upon a rare and precious mineral of Varos. Zeiton-7. I can show you new prosperity.
SIL: Destroy them now!

The Doctor is trying to repair the TARDIS when all of a sudden it just stops moving.  The Doctor realizes what the problem is and the TARDIS transitional elements have stopped producing orbital energy and they need to get Zeiton – 7 to fix it.  The Doctor has accepted defeat and resound to his fate of living life out in the TARDIS going nowhere.   The TARDIS all of a sudden shows a bit of life and The Doctor hopes it has enough power to get them to Varos which is the only place to get Zeiton – 7.



The TARDIS lands in the Punishment Dome just in time to save Jondar from execution.  It appears that The Doctor and Peri have now become involved in the local politics on Varos.   The slimy sales person Sil from the Galatron Mining Corporation has been taking advantage of Varos for years over the Zeiton – 7 ore.  It appears that The Doctor’s appearance and intervention has caused him some grief as the governor is starting to think about a way to take control of the ore.  Sil will not let this happen as he will do anything to keep the ore and the high profits for the company.
