The Silence of Silver
An abandoned colony sends a request to remember.
The opening situation
A signal leads the TARDIS to Argent-3b, a former mining colony. The Silvers’ relation to emotion makes compassion itself a difficult field of action. This is a story about memory after collective harm, with danger in the offer to make pain disappear by making everyone the same.
Who travels here
The Doctor, Raven and MINO; Calien and Milo among the people they encounter.
A question to carry into the story
Follow the difference between sharing an emotion and controlling it. The promise of relief may carry its own terms.
