Doctor Who: The Harvest (#58)
|
|
|
On the morning of October 12th, 2021 Hex woke up. He was expecting to go
to work at St Gart's in London as normal and, that evening, have a great
time in the bar of the White Rabbit, celebrating his 23rd birthday.
But after his ex-flatmate is wheeled into A&E following a bike accident,
and the strange young woman from Human Resources tries to chat him up and
an eight-foot tall guy in a Merc tries to run him down, Hex realises
things are not going quite as he expected.
Then in a Shoreditch car park he meets the enigmatic Doctor who explains
that he's an extra-terrestrial investigator and something very strange
is going on up on the thirty-first floor of St Garts.
Therefore, aided and abetted by the Doctor and his other new friend
'Just McShane', Hex decides to investigate. Trouble is, everything that
goes on at the hospital is being observed and noted by the occupants of
the thirty-first floor. Occupants who are none too pleased that people
are poking their noses into business that doesn't concern them. Occupants
who will go extraordinary lengths to ensure that no one discovers the
truth.

Episode One:
Hex feels he must discover the truth about McShane and begins
investigating the parking garage, only to find a blue box which
he mistakes for a portaloo. When the door opens, McShane invites him
in and the Doctor introduces himself...
Episode Two:
Both Doctor Mathias and the Doctor over the communicator deny doing
anything to open the doors, but Ace urges them to run when she sees
what emerges from within. As she, Hex and Mathias flee she tells
the Doctor that it's the Cybermen...
Episode Three:
Ace and Mathias try to reason why Farrer that he can't let the harvest
process operate on them, but his Cybermen guards force him to continue.
As he starts the machine, he says he's so very sorry...
Episode Four:
With Hex's mind made up, the Doctor invites "Mr Hex" to join him and
Ace in the TARDIS. But before they go, Hex tells the Doctor that it's
"just Hex"...
Subject One: "I have never seen anything like this. I have never
seen in this way before."
Ace: "On the list of things in this universe that are going to
kill me, sugar is a long way down."
Ace: "You can't see my place from here. It's compact and bijou."
The Doctor: "He's no help to us if his mind can't deal with the
concepts."
Hex: "It's been a terrible day and a mad night, but I think I'm
doing very well so far thank you very much."
The Doctor: "Remember, it's answers we want. Not heroics or
relentless chases up and down hospital corridors."
Hex: "Don't threaten me with your rent-a-goons!"
Ace: "Whatever you like to think, they're the ones calling the
shots."
Subject One: "Flesh mechanics seems to be an imprecise art on
this world."
The Doctor: "It's always harder when it gets personal."
The Doctor: "I don't take orders from petty bureaucrats!"
The Harvest is Dan Abnett's Big Finish
debut script and introduces Philip Olivier
as the Seventh Doctor's latest companion, Hex.
