It was a beautiful summer day as Nicole was walking back home from Rotary Park near Lake Ontario. She had an amazing afternoon with four of her friends from high school catching up on their lives by having a picnic at the park. Nicole was walking along the paved path past her old elementary school when she saw the TARDIS beside the pine tree right near the street she lived on. She quickened her pace and jogged towards the TARDIS. She was about to knock on the door when she remembered that the Doctor gave her a key the last time she saw him which was two days ago. Nicole inserted the key and knocked on the door as she entered. "Hi Doctor!"
After entering the TARDIS, Nicole stopped in her tracks and looked around. The interior looked completely different from before. The walls still had a golden colour, but there were different levels of stairs in the console room. There were two stairs leading up to the control console, a set of stairs heading up towards a hallway, and a set of stairs heading down below the console. Nicole muttered, "I wonder what happened to the coral interior." She called out, "Doctor, where are you?" Nicole did not see him at the control console so she went down the stairs to see if he was fixing on any parts of the TARDIS. After seeing no sign of him, she called out, "Doctor, are you in here?" Hearing no response, Nicole walked up the steps wondering what happened to the Doctor.
She walked towards the control console to see if the Doctor had left any signs of his whereabouts. Once she was on the platform, she heard an automated voice, which said, "There is a recognized life sign on board. Please listen to the recording carefully since it will repeat once before it is deleted." A hologram of the Doctor appeared, but it was not the same Doctor as before. The Doctor must have regenerated. He had short, dark brown hair though it was a bit longer than the other Doctor was. His hair was slicked towards the right and he had brown eyes. The Doctor was wearing a brown tweed jacket, a red bow tie, suspenders, black trousers, and ankle-high boots.
"Hi Nicole! This is the Doctor speaking. You may not recognize me since I have regenerated since you last saw me. If you are viewing this message that means I am in trouble to the point where I may die. I have been tracking down a shape shifter from a species called the Gwanzulum. They are from a planet called Adeki, well they are stranded there, but I won't delve into their history. The Gwanzulum have large monstrous heads with muscular, stubby arms and legs. They take the form of individuals from other people's memories through telepathy. For example, if one of the Gwanzulum was targeting you, they can take the shape of one of your family members or friends and it will be very difficult to tell who is real. They are like parasitic energy leeches who drain the life force of their targets and kill them at the end. I have been following a woman who has been the target for the Gwanzulum. That is all I can tell you so the rest is up to you. You can find a picture of the woman taped to the control console. She has a medium dark complexion with hazelnut eyes and long black hair. When you try to find me, be careful of trusting people you encounter since it may be a shape shifter. I am sorry you don't have a lot to go on, but I know you can do it. Good luck!"
