his_sarah_janeJack asked me to talk about one of my favourite adventures for this thing. There’s a lot I can say about travelling with the Doctor – I have notebooks filled of journal entries from that time. I detailed everything, as much as possible. Travelling with the Doctor is something you never want to forget. Some adventures are wonderful and some are absolutely dreadful, you see. I’ve seen amazing things and I’ve also witnessed some horrible acts. I have memories I would rather forget; I’ve been tortured, nearly killed, and have killed people myself. I’m a good shot and when given the choice between me or the Doctor and them… that split second, it’s not difficult to make the decision.
But that’s aside the point, isn’t it? I’m running away with my thoughts. It’s habit for me. Still, a favourite adventure is a favourite adventure. I’ll always have a soft spot for our first accidental trip together. I’ll have a soft spot for every moment I spent with the Doctor, in either form. But I’ve told so many of you that story by now, I think it’s only fair to choose something else to talk about.
The Loch Ness monster, perhaps? She’s real, you know and I’ve seen her. In fact, I helped the Doctor and UNIT stop her from attacking the Prime Minister once. We – Harry Sullivan, the Doctor, and I – had been travelling about the galaxy, really in no hurry to return to Earth (although I suspect Harry was). But our travels were cut short by a help message from the Brigadier. We returned to Earth – to Scotland to be exact. Of course, we didn’t land anywhere near the base UNIT had set up. This is travelling with the Doctor, after all.
To make a long story short, these creatures called the Zygons had landed on Earth a long time ago after their ship had crashed. As their world was gone, they had hoped to make Earth their new home. It turns out that Nessie is actually an alien – the Zygon version of a cow, for lack of better description. And also easily controlled by the alien race to do their bidding.
Did I mention that they had a machine that allowed the Zygons to take on someone else’s form? It led to a horrible fight between me and Harry. Thankfully, the man I knocked off the barn loft was not Harry Sullivan at all, but one of those Zygons. I eventually did find the real Harry, through a hidden passage in a Duke’s library (another one of those individuals who were being ‘masked’ by the Zygons) and freed him. He was a good sport about the whole thing, if not rather confused as to what was going on.
Anyway, as I said, ultimately the Zygons tried using Nessie to attack Stanbridge House near the river Thames – a conference was being held there that the Prime Minister was attending. We stopped them, of course, and, well… that was the last of the Zygons.
Nessie lived, though. And proved that, sometimes, certain rumours do have truth to them.
There. That's the last of these blogging things. It's been fun.
