AN: Ohmygosh! I'm sorry I forgot again, I was having a friend sleepover and it slipped my mind! I've made an alert on my iPod so I won't forget again! Sorry! Also, I invented anything you don't recognize from Doctor Who or Alphas. Lots of new aliens and planets...
"So...the Ardives are about to start warring against the Codroccians and the Lodnads. But they lose this war... How do they know they're going to lose?" Bill asked.
The rest of the Alpha group had gathered around the Doctor as he was explaining the Tunect War.
"The Ardives, Lodnads, and Codroccians all came from the same home planet, Zorraxilain. One of Zorraxilain's suns was on the verge of going supernova, so their government packed all of the people on spaceships similar to this one, and flew them out of the galaxy to three neighboring planets, Codroc, Nathea, and Shorrin. The ships divided amongst themselves, and landed on the planets. Now, this all happened thousands of years ago. Since then, each planet has developed their own unique characteristics and traditions, like the Lodnads have purple tongues from eating a type of berry native to their planet. From the very beginning, these planets kept in close contact with each other, trading and visiting, but then Codroc and Shorrin started plotting to join their planets under one government and lose contact with Nathea."
"Why did they want to exclude Na-Nathea?" Dr. Rosen asked, struggling with the alien name.
"Nathea's only export was a type of grass that was found on the other planets en masse. That was literally the ONLY thing growing on that planet, and no natural resources or precious gems were found there. Shorrin and Cordroc didn't want or need Nathea's grass, so it became very poor very quickly. Codroc and Shorrin had all sorts of riches that were only being bought by each other, so they saw no need for Nathea." The Doctor paused.
"That's awful!" Said Rachel.
"It was. I visited Nathea during their worst times because I didn't believe other Time Lords' descriptions. I have never seen worse living conditions in my entire life. It's a hundred times worse than the poorest place on Earth. The people there earn less than a penny a day, and they don't even have buildings to live in. The equivalent of a mansion is a one room flat in the worst part of town, with no heating, air conditioning, running water, windows, or furniture. The Ardives dress in rags that have been passed down from generation to generation, and when those wear out, they weave tunics out of the grass." The Doctor said. He had a far-away look on his face, like it was too horrible to remember.
Bill frowned. "If they didn't have buildings or clothes, how did they make this spaceship?"
"I'll get there! Continuing with the war story! So, Nathea was the odd planet out, and Codroc and Shorrin were plotting against it. One day, out of the blue, another ship came, no one knows where from, but it landed on Nathea. It appeared to be empty. No one had flown it to Nathea, the coordinates had been set to launch at a certain time, and it did, all on its own. Terraforming dust had been stored in it, and the dust started to terraform Nathea."
"What's terraforming dust?" Kat asked.
"It's special chemical powders that terraform the planet, by making a stable atmosphere and plants and drinkable water and anything else needed for survival." The Doctor answered.
"But Doctor, wasn't Nathea already terraformed?" Clara asked, sensing a mistake in his story.
"Ah, you think I've made a mistake, don't you, Clara?" The Doctor teased. Taken aback, Clara nodded.
"Yes, Nathea was already terraformed, and now it was being over-terraformed, which is generally not a good thing. But, considering Nathea's bad luck, they were bound for something fortunate. The over-terraforming would have destroyed the natural plants and made the water so full of nutrients that it would be harmful. Eventually, it would have made the atmosphere too thick and no one would be able to get in or out, and the oxygen would eventually be used up. However, considering how little was already on Nathea, the over-terraforming took the opposite effect. Huge trees and bushes shot up, that grew fruit of all different kinds. All sorts of different animals started to develop, and all sorts of minerals and metals started popping up under the soil. Suddenly, Nathea was the richest planet out of her sisters. They could build huge spaceships and buildings, they had all sorts of weapons, most of which caused mass destruction." The Doctor stopped. Bill, Rachel, Dr. Rosen, and Clara all waited for him to continue.
"What happens next, Doctor?" Kat asked.
"Nathea goes to war against Codroc and Shorrin, starting with one missile fired." The Doctor said simply.
Kat paled. "Doctor, when we were walking away from the window, I stayed back for a moment. I saw something that looked like a shooting star coming from this ship towards Codroc. That couldn't have been..."
"I bet it was. We need to hurry up and find Gary, Nina, and Hicks." The Doctor said. Everyone stood up from where they had been sitting on the floor and headed out of the medical supply room.
A few doors down, another man had joined the dark-haired woman and the man with the buzz cut. He was wearing a striped shirt and had short brown hair. When the Cyberman injected him with the green substance, he screamed.
AN: Oooooh, who could that dark haired person have been?! And I hope that story about the terraforming and stuff made sense and all... I totally made up the thing about over-terraforming and what it would do.
