The Day Gallifrey Slept
A homecoming to a world whose silence is a warning.
The opening situation
The Doctor returns to Gallifrey and finds a stillness that demands investigation. A brass owl and the traces of an erased history draw the story towards the institutions that decide whose lives can be recorded. This is a major point of entry for Raven and MINO, best read after the departures in Book 6.
Who travels here
The Doctor, Raven and MINO.
A question to carry into the story
Ask who has the power to call something consent when alternatives have been removed. The familiar world becomes strange through the absences in its own account.
