Kastria Redux: Doctor Who TNEA - Episode 62
Kastria Redux
Doctor Who TNEA - Episode 62
Ace continued staring out of the hatch. Outside, night had fallen long ago and day would never come.
In their way, the rearing structures were beautiful. Sloping geometries, monolithic blocks, crystalline superstructures... This had been a mighty civilisation. One of those rare ones Ace had seen that had stumbled on to a single great thing, one big idea, and just kept right on going, endlessly reiterating, endlessly cycling from primitive to industrial to baroque technological to rococco and back to primitive... But always gaining on entropy, stepping a few more paces ahead, growing in power and knowledge...
But not wisdom. Clearly, not wisdom.
The planet was totally dead. Sterilised, first by unholy energies from a war of radio-isotopes, and then again from cold so deep that even its silicon-based ecology froze. It was a little like Ice Planet, if that's what the Professor- the Doctor meant. She heard his strange voice, part Scots, part... alien- speaking from behind her.
"Kastrians. Cold by nature, but not this cold of course, yeah... Magnificent in their way. Aggressive, naturally. Very forward thinking in some respects. But in the end... Entropy won. It always will when your only answer is to fight it. Fighting always fails in the end. Sometimes you have to make alliances, compromise, live and evolve, that sort of thing."
Whatever further musings the Doctor might have shared were interrupted at that point.
A new voice rang out in the corridor.
"Who the bloody hell are you two and where the devil have you come from?"

Some of the stories so far!
The Sixth Doctor and Peri! So far there are two strong stories, one at the Worlds Cup of the 75th Century and the other in a snowbound wilderness in the past!
The Seventh Doctor and Ace! So far their stories have begun in a Sanctuary Base on a planet familiar from the classic series, Fourth Doctor era; a curry restaurant in Birmingham and a mysterious planet-sized marketplace!
Both are already branching into lots of exciting directions! Why not write a chapter NOW! :)
And remember there are loads of story stubs, this has just got started so there are infinite possibilities for any of the Doctors, their Companions- and the enemies!

Extendable Episodes
Episodes that are extendable list that fact at the bottom of the page. They will also have an option labeled Add New Option. When you add a new option, you are presented with a page similiar to the one presented when you create an episode. The only difference is a text box that allows you to enter the description of the option that leads to the episode you are creating. Everything else about the creation process is identical.
Linkable Episodes
When you are creating an episode and want to link to another already created episode, you need to specify the episode number in the Back Linked Episode field for the specific option you want to link to another episode. Leave that field blank if you just want a normal link.

Creating an Episode
First Steps of Creation
- The episode is locked while someone else is working on it.
- The episode is not created, and you can create it if you wish.
If you decide to create the episode, click on the link that reads Create this episode! If you don't want to create the episode, and would rather get back to reading the story, click on the link that reads Cancel.
Entering the Scenario
,
,
,
, , , Now you must enter in the options the reader will be able to take at the end of the episode. The number of options available will vary from story to story. You don't have to use all of them! Simply describe as many options as you want the reader to have and leave the rest blank. You must describe at least one option. The second column of text fields labeled Back Linked Episode is part of an advanced feature and can be ignored. There are a handful of HTML tags you can use when describing the options. The currently allowed tags are:
, , ,
Now you may select a color scheme for the episode. This defaults to the scheme of the parent episode. You may pick a new one, if you feel your episode requires a different look.
If you wish, you may sign the episode. Feel free to include your real name, or an alias. This should be used as a method for people to identify other episodes you've created.
The remaining items are advanced features, and can be ignored.
Previewing Your Episode
Take the time to review your episode and verify that it looks as you intended it to look. If you need to make changes, make the appropriate changes and then select the Preview button again to see how your changes look.
At the end of the preview section is the Save button. If any problems were detected with your episode, the Save button will instead be replaced by a list of problems you need to correct in your episode before you can save. Simply correct those problems and select the Preview button again to bring up the save button.
If at any point you decide you no longer want to create the episode you are working on, select the Cancel button at the bottom of the page. This will unlock the episode and permit another player to create it if they so choose.
Final Steps of Creation
In the unlikely event that you find problems with your episode after you have saved it, you will have the option to edit it (if you have cookies enabled in your browser). To edit an episode you have already created, simple click the Edit link located at the bottom of the episode.
