A/N: Hello! This is purely reference for my collection of Doctor Who crossovers, the Void Ship Saga. Since I'm crossing over into several different fandoms, I intend that followers of my fics will come across a story they just don't want to read.
This "book of spoilers" solves that problem. Here, I sum up the important plot points on an episode-to-episode basis so you can skip over that hated or unknown game/book/anime and get back to The Doctor's adventures.
I will be linking to specific chapters on each individual fanfic, so don't feel the need to follow this one.
As a reminder, each chapter has two sections. The first one, background information, is designed to allow newcomers to a particular fandom to read my fanfic with all the information they need to get the references. The second section simply provides the salient plot points of my fanfic so that you can go right back to reading the story you want to read without reading the proceeding episode(s).
Thanks for your support!
Lab Wolf: Portalverse
Background Information:
- Aperture Laboratories is a testing facility that puts human subjects through deadly puzzles with a portal gun, a device that allows people to travel from one point to another by creating a connection between each point. Only one connection can be open at a time.
- GLaDOS is the master of the area. She provides the tests and maintains the facility. She is an AI gone wrong. GLaDOS killed the scientists who brought her into existence.
- Chell is known for her tenacity. She is the one test subject who managed to get to GLaDOS and defeat her.
- Doug Rattmann is the last living scientist. He draws murals of Chell and follows her progress. He also carries a cube, which he considers his guardian angel.
Plot Points:
- Rose and The Doctor arrive in the laboratories, where GLaDOS greets and separates them.
- Rose is the new test subject, and GLaDOS reveals that the killed The Doctor, but he figures out a way to follow the adrenal vapor and tap into Rose's mind. GLaDOS gives Rose the Sonic Screwdriver as proof of The Doctor's death.
- GLaDOS says she'll give Rose a break, and while GLaDOS is "looking away," Rose finds a hidden section of the chamber. A girl lies inside. Fans of the series can tell this is Chell.
- Rose touches the girl and falls asleep. It becomes apparent that they cannot both be awake at the same time with disastrous consequences.
- The Doctor meets up with Chell and she goes off to defeat GLaDOS again. He can watch her progress through the sleeping mind of Chell.
- Chell dreams a dream that only she and the readers can view: it features the travels of four imaginative daleks in a dark, round ship.
- When Chell gets to GLaDOS's lair, she sees Daleks. By communicating through Rose, The Doctor convinces Chell to run—but at a cost. GLaDOS can hear him, and he cannot plan a secret attack using this communication.
- When Chell gets back, she wakes up Rose. They begin glowing with power, and they introduce themselves as "Lab Wolf." They protect themselves much in the same way Rose protected herself as Bad Wolf. The Doctor watches four daleks crowd into a dark, round ship and escape.
- After they are done, Chell absorbs all the Huon particles and dies. GLaDOS expresses anguish over this with a horrible scream.
- The Doctor and Rose leave to follow the four daleks that escaped.
