Guided by tales of a planet governed by the principles of strength, wisdom, and sisterhood, The Doctor decided to introduce Trinity to one of the more unique civilizations in the galaxy—the Amazons. A society composed entirely of women, the Amazons had thrived for centuries, creating a utopia where knowledge, combat, and communal living were highly valued. The Doctor, having aided them in the past, was regarded as a friend and ally.

As the TARDIS materialized on the outskirts of the Amazon capital, a breathtaking city sculpted from the living rock of the mountains and surrounded by lush forests, The Doctor beamed with anticipation. "You're going to love this place, Trinity. The Amazons are remarkable in every sense."

Their arrival did not go unnoticed. A delegation of Amazons, led by a figure that seemed oddly familiar, yet different, greeted them with a mix of curiosity and respect. The Doctor, preoccupied with explaining Amazonian culture to Trinity, initially didn't pay close attention to the leader of the welcoming party.

It was only when the figure spoke, a hint of amusement in her voice, that The Doctor took a proper look. "It takes you long enough to recognize an old friend, Doctor."

The Doctor's eyes widened in shock and delight as he finally recognized the person before him—Jackie Harkness. "Jackie? Is that really you?"

Jackie laughed, her demeanor still carrying the charisma and confidence that Jack Harkness was known for. "In the flesh. Well, new flesh, technically. This is my fifth regeneration."

The reunion was a joyful one, with The Doctor marveling at Jackie's transformation and journey back to their universe. she had explained everything about her journey back.

"I ended up here, on Amazon Island," Jackie continued. "These incredible women welcomed me, and I've been here ever since, helping defend the planet and learning their ways. It's been quite the journey."

The Doctor and Trinity were warmly welcomed into Amazon society, invited to partake in the cultural and educational exchanges that defined the Amazons' way of life. Trinity, in particular, was fascinated by their advanced combat training, their deep connection to their planet, and their extensive library, which contained knowledge gathered from across the stars.

As they settled into their visit, The Doctor couldn't help but feel a sense of peace. The Amazon planet was a testament to what could be achieved when a society was built on principles of equality, respect, and mutual aid. And having Jackie there, a friend he had believed lost, only added to the sense of wonder and serenity.

However, the tranquility of their visit was not to last. Jackie soon confided in The Doctor about a looming threat—a rival faction that sought to overthrow the Amazons' peaceful way of life, driven by a desire for power and domination. This faction, led by a formidable warrior queen from a neighboring planet, had been amassing forces, and an attack was imminent.

The Doctor, ever the defender of peace, offered his assistance, and together with Jackie and Trinity, began to formulate a plan to protect the Amazon society and preserve the utopia they had built.

As the preparations against the external threat progressed, an unexpected challenge arose from within the Amazon society itself. A faction of Amazons, led by a charismatic and powerful warrior named Calyxa, began to voice their dissent against Jackie Harkness's leadership role within their community. Their contention was rooted in a deep-seated belief that Jackie, despite her contributions and her time among them, would never truly be one of them due to her Time Lord origins.

#### The Dissent

Calyxa and her followers argued that the inclusion of an outsider, especially one as fundamentally different as a Time Lord, in their leadership undermined the very principles of their society. They feared that Jackie's alien perspective and abilities posed a risk to their traditions and their future. "She may have fought beside us, she may have lived among us, but she is not one of us," Calyxa proclaimed in a heated assembly. "Her presence divides us, weakens us in the face of our true enemies."
