When no one knows you're alive, its liberating and confining. It's one of the best things that can happen to you, especially if you're a villain! You can be someone else, live the life you never could, do the things you only dreamt of! You would think, at least. However, the best thing you can do is start over new and embrace anonymity, new horizons, more opportunity. Until, that is, the holder of the lien on your life cold calls you home -- now what? Act like you didn't get the call? Take a third shot at redemption? Or better yet -- do something bold and reclaim your life? Only if you've got the guts to own it - but you just may end up dead, for real this time.

Doctor Who: The Sixteenth Doctor Adventures Volume 3
3.1: The Ghost of Time A haunting presence is stalking the timelines - a ghostly figure glimpsed in the background of history's most pivotal moments. When the Doctor investigates, he discovers a terrifying anomaly: something - or someone - is feeding off temporal energy, leaving fractures in time itself. As past, present, and future begin to blur, the Doctor and his companion must chase the specter through collapsing realities and forgotten futures. But the truth is more disturbing than they imagine... because this ghost knows the Doctor's name - and it's been waiting. 3.2: Angels When a quiet village vanishes overnight, leaving only stone statues behind, the Doctor is drawn into a chilling mystery. The Weeping Angels have returned - but these Angels are different. Smarter. Faster. Hungrier. As the Doctor races to protect the last survivors, he uncovers a horrifying truth: the Angels are no longer content to feed on time - they want to control it. With the fabric of reality at stake and every blink a gamble, the Doctor must face the one enemy he can never outrun... the Angels. 3.3: Black Death: Part One The Doctor, Lola, and Edward land on a remote space station orbiting the distant planet Jae, expecting a routine exploration. But the station's crew of scientists have a secret - and a deadly one. Without warning, Lola and Edward are separated from the Doctor and locked in a sealed chamber as an experimental virus is unleashed. As hours turn into days, their health begins to deteriorate, and the Doctor races to discover an cure. 3.4: Black Death: Part Two As Lola and Edward fall victim to a deadly virus on a remote space station, the Doctor is left helpless. In her final moments, Lola accidentally infects him. Consumed by grief and rage upon learning the virus was a cruel experiment, the Doctor destroys the station and the planet Jae. Now infected and alone, he returns to the TARDIS - and begins to Regenerate.Complete![Why Me? [ONC 2021]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/257308968-256-k123289.jpg)

The Madman's Clock
2245 AD It wasn't supposed to end this way. Captain Jack Mallory of the United Earth Marine Corps is wasting away on a space station in the middle of nowhere, the furthest he and his recon squad could possibly be from the fighting on Alpha Centauri. Under investigation, all he and his three men can do is wait, until an admiral appears with new orders, and the recording of a garbled transmission. "Echo-two, Echo-two..." The UES Saturnus is an experimental starship that has just set out on its maiden voyage. An enigmatic race known as the Edra has objected to the Saturnus and its experimental equipment. Earth has ignored their protests. "...this is Zulu-two-three... requesting assistance." Mallory and his men are the only ones close enough to deal with an extremely sensitive situation. "... Saturnus is compromised. Edra commandos are pushing... bridge is... secure. Captain... won't cease experiment... psychosis. Entire crew... affected." There are just two problems. First, the voice on the recording is Mallory's. Second, the transmission is time coded; it hasn't been sent yet. The Saturnus is not damaged. Not yet. Soon, it will be. The Saturnus is top secret for one very good reason, a reason which has forced the hand of the Edra. The Saturnus can travel through time.Complete

Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather.
