Fixing Doctor Who Episodes

There are some good and not so good episodes produced for TV. A great use of the Faction is to improve bad episodes by adding a layer of player character interference and ineffable plot machinations of the participants to help cover those glaring plot holes and character inconsistencies. This is especially relevant for those stories where the Doctor is ineffectual or fails to resolve much.

  One morning in London, and every city and town in the world, the human race wakes up to the most surprising invasion yet: the trees have moved back in. Everywhere, in every land, a forest has grown and taken back the Earth.

The Great Houses are making yet another attempt to rid themselves of Earth as their prime suspect for who The Enemy actually is. Being the universe leading experts in solar engineering means it's easily done by spiking their sun to produce lethal solar flares.

Earth is prime recruitment ground for the Faction. Not least because the Doctor keeps visiting it and that makes it a nexus of many important timelines but also because it almost guarantees their actions have caused biodata corruption of humans and the creation of collatorals, witchbloods and ex-companions.

While Godfather Sabbath has organised some Cousins to stop the planting of the device to trigger Sol's flare, which is sadly doomed to fail - Godfather Morlock has a far more convoluted idea that just might work:

• Break into a House Military weapon depot where they've got a confiscated Anarchitect from Celestis
• Modify it to be a one-use but world-wide weapon of mass forrestation
• Infect the Earth and get out before anyone notices

  In the near future, the Doctor and Clara find themselves on a space shuttle making a suicide mission to the Moon. Crash-landing on the lunar surface they find the most terrible things.

Fallout from the War¹⁾ and the misuse of Godfather Morlock's biodata virus has resulted in an alternate timeline in which the moon of earth is infected by the Great Houses as a method to create more frontline troops.

As it's an alternate timeline, it's very disgusting to non-Faction Homeworlders as they aren't accustomed to it (like the Doctor) to spend any amount of time there.
