Jabberjaw takes place in the same narrative universe as Warriors of the Deep.

“There should have been another way.”

I Swear by Major Red and Minor Blue

Hard as it is for you to Trust my Claim

One day the Words I Speak will all be True

Your Death I promised that I would Pursue

A Time will come I move Beyond that Shame

I Swear by Major Red and Minor Blue

You Saved me from the Fate that I was Due

When you let me choose Enlightenment's Flame

One day the Words I Speak will all be True

My Soul I did not intend to Eschew

When I Snared My Self in his Twisted Game

I Swear by Major Red and Minor Blue

I wish to Give all that I am to You

To Tell you of my Past and Home and Name

One day the Words I Speak will all be True

Fear prevents the Honesty you are Due

The Hidden Truth that I cannot Proclaim

I Swear by Major Red and Minor Blue

“Buddy, if you take your emotional support Kong outside, your brother is just going to steal it from you and you’re going to be very upset. So leave it there.”

He didn’t.

His brother did.

(much inspired by the reminder from @corallapis that Turlough has traces of freaking uranium in his system, speaking of on crack, holy hannah, the King of Terror)

Ok, so said uranium is bio-locked in some sort of symbiotic microorganism. Think gut bacteria or intestinal flora for a human comparison, but system-wide.

Symbiotic bioluminescent organisms.

Healthy Trions glow faintly in the dark.

HEALTHY Trions. And it’s subtle, Trions pick up on it more than humans would, but it’s there.

Turlough is trapped in an uncanny valley world where people are literally ‘dim’.

So Deep Below was originally going to be something that took place during Frontios between the scene where we the audience first see the Tractators, and when Turlough has his freak out.

Turlough was going to get more and more creeped out by…something, with snippets of an old children’s rhyme coming to him, and Norna would go from a little annoyed to concerned.

I wound up back-burnering Deep Below, and used part of the rhyme I was working on in part 3 of ‘One Thing About Earth That Isn’t Completely Terrible’.

Down in the Deep Below burrowing and creeping

Down in the Deep Below they take you when you’re sleeping

Down in the Deep Below where Nameless Horrors dwell

Down in the Deep Below they’ll drag you into Hell

RULES: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous, and tag as many people as you have WIPs. People send an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and you post a snippet or tell them something about it.

Oh boy, I don't know how many people I can tag either. I might wind up doubling up what some people have done.

A lot of these are just jottings and snips of scenes I want to develop into something, or multiple versions of something I open in side by side windows and then edit together when i decide what parts I like best. : )

Turlough appeared onscreen in stock footage in the 15th Doctor episode “The Story and the Engine.” This era of the show being infamously partially funded by and streamed by Disney.

By the transitive property of narrative and fandom, Turlough is a Disney Princess.
