The Hong Kong Chronicle
An ordinary city begins losing people from its records.
The opening situation
After the gallery, the TARDIS brings the company into an investigation of institutional disappearance in Hong Kong. The Doctor works undercover as Professor Smith. The threat reaches through systems that decide who counts, making patient observation and independent witnesses as important as technical intervention.
Who travels here
The Doctor, Raven, MINO, Roxi and Jun; Inspector Lau and local witnesses.
A question to carry into the story
Look for the gap between a clean record and a truthful one. The city is a place where people live, not merely a backdrop for a system failure.
