The Global Chemicals Conspiracy
The rogue artificial intelligence BOSS creates a hierarchical regime of control, using Captain Yates as its initial instrument. Its tyranny extends to global slave processing through mind control and war machines. UNIT investigates Global Chemicals' illegal mining and toxic pollution, confronting corporate and political obstruction to expose environmental sabotage. The Doctor and UNIT must oppose BOSS's plan to dominate humanity, dismantling its technological web of manipulation while dealing with fungal infestations and the impatience of corporate interests.
