c 1983 - “Stars Fell on Stockbridge” [555]
UFO spotter Maxwell Edison discovered the TARDIS, and inspired the fifth Doctor to detect an alien spacecraft two days from Earth. They went to the ship, which was deserted and had been drifting for thousands of years. There was some sort of haunting presence on board, but the ship was already heading for Earth’s atmosphere. The Doctor and Maxwell returned to Earth, from where Maxwell watched the shooting stars caused by the ship’s break-up.
No human space agency had any space labs in orbit.
c 1983 - “The Stockbridge Horror” [556]
A local limestone quarry unearthed the TARDIS in rock five hundred million years old. Nearby, a police constable discovered a charred body.
The fifth Doctor, still staying at the Green Dragon Inn, saw a report from the quarry. He ran to where he had left the TARDIS - Well’s Wood - and found it was still there, covered in mud. He went to the quarry, but couldn’t get to the mysterious buried police box. Well’s Wood caught fire, and the Doctor - upon returning to the TARDIS - discovered an alien figure that could shoot jets of fire.
The Doctor dematerialised his Ship, but the alien clung to the TARDIS, then forced its way inside. It stalked the Doctor, who realised it was the presence he’d recently encountered on the deserted spaceship. The Gallifreyan military dispatched Lord Tubal Cain in a specially adapted TARDIS, while Shayde trapped the alien in the Matrix. Cain fired seeker torpedoes at the TARDIS... which landed on Gallifrey moments after they hit the homeworld.
While the Doctor faced trial on Gallifrey, the government agency SAG3 investigated the TARDIS. Shayde neutralised them, and erased the imprint of the TARDIS just as the military TARDIS landed. The Doctor was freed.
c 1983 - Arc of Infinity [557]
Omega had relocated the Arc of Infinity - a gateway between dimensions - away from the star system Rondel and placed its curve on the city of Amsterdam. The fifth Doctor and Nyssa tracked Omega to Amsterdam, and found Omega’s base in a crypt there. The ancient Gallifreyan’s attempt to bond with the Doctor failed, and he apparently died. Tegan Jovanka joined the Doctor’s travels once again.
Omega recorporealised enough to stow himself aboard the TARDIS of Ertikus, a Time Lord who arrived in this period to study Omega’s exploits. Ertikus’ TARDIS relocated to the far future with Omega aboard. [558] Before this time, the Arar-Jecks of Heiradi had carved out a huge subterranean city during the 20-Aeon War on that planet.

c 1983 - Hexagora [563]
The Hexagora, a nomadic insect species, had settled on Luparis - the third planet of Proxima Centauri. A global cooling event prevented the Hexagorans from moving on - to survive, they required mammalian bodies. Humans were abducted from Earth via spacepods, and the Hexagorans swapped minds with them, leaving their insectoid bodies in hibernation. The humanised Hexagorans constructed a city, Lupara, based upon schematics they had taken of Tudor London.
The fifth Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa relaxed in Tegan’s hometown, near Brisbane, when Tegan learned that her friend Mike Bretherton had been abducted. They followed Bretherton’s trail to Luparis. Queen Zafira recognised that human bodies didn’t live long enough to survive the Luparis winter, and so decreed that she and the Doctor would marry and sire longer-lived offspring. The Doctor convinced Zafira that the collective Hexagoran memory pool, the Hexagon, was fragmenting because they were inhabiting human bodies. He aided them in returning to their insectoid forms, and relocating to a warmer world. The abducted humans, most of whom had slept in stasis, were returned to Earth seconds after they left.
There was civil war on Trion. Turlough’s mother was killed and the ship containing his father and brother crashed on Sarn, formerly a Trion prison planet.

1983 - Kiss of Death [567]
Trion repatriation squads were now in operation on various worlds.
Turlough’s old flame Deela became engaged to a ruthless entrepreneur named Halquin Rennol. When Deela’s father disavowed the union and froze her assets, the pair coveted the royal treasure rumoured to reside in the dimensional vault established by Turlough’s ancestor. Only Turlough and Deela’s DNA in combination - through a simple kiss, for instance - would open the vault, and so Rennol’s mercenaries captured Turlough when the TARDIS landed on the vacation world of Vektris. The vault’s security system went haywire - Rennol killed Deela, and was probably killed himself when the vault resealed.
1983 (9th June) - Rat Trap [568]

After departing the fifth Doctor’s company, a time-travelling Turlough encountered the dictator Rechtaht while she ruled Trion. Rechtaht tried to transfer her mind into Turlough, but his ally - a Time Lord named the Magician - helped Turlough to expel Rechtaht from his mind. This averted a timeline that included the destruction of Earth, Trion and New Trion. Turlough learned that as he had altered history, he couldn’t remain in this timeline without causing a paradox.
= With the Magician’s help, Turlough found a reality in which he had died and took up residence there. He was reunited with his old friend, Juras Maateh, of that reality.

Meanwhile, the Doctor and Gus discovered that the Ice Warriors had drilled a vast shaft. Gus and SAG3 launched an attack on the Ice Warrior base, but Autek and the Meddling Monk got away. They had activated “the Crucible”, then jumped five million years forwards in time. As they returned, the Doctor chased the Monk’s TARDIS in his own and set up a Time Ram - apparently annihilating the Monk and destroying the Ice Warrior base.
His vigil on Earth ended, the Doctor pledged to get Gus home.

Albinex the Navarino paid one of Isaac’s allies to retrieve nuclear launch codes from the Doctor. Albinex and Isaac were working together to detonate a nuclear device, which Isaac hoped would spur an arms race so humanity would have more advanced weapons to use against the Daleks in the twenty-second century. However, Albinex was actually a Dalek agent, and planned to destroy the Earth. The Doctor, Isaac and Benny captured the Navarino and thwarted the plan. Benny made peace with her father.
