Location

Riverside

The Thames-side embankment south of Windsor frames this liminal space where calm and catastrophe collide. The evening’s stillness—soft lapping of water against stone, distant hum of the city beyond—sharpens the Doctor’s alarm into something immediate and dire. Gravel crunches underfoot as Ace drags the heavy tape deck into position, its cables snaking toward the TARDIS’s open doors. When the hologram flickers to life, the river’s gentle murmur is drowned by the sight of Earth splitting like overripe fruit under Nemesis’s gaze. The skyline of Windsor watches from across the water, its stately outlines now a reminder of scale: here, two lives confront a calamity that will erase all lines.
