Blast From the Past
I was looking at my Doctor Who Role Playing Game (fasa corp., 1986) today, and I came across the book called A Sourcebook for Field Agents. I thought, “Heavens, what a blast from the past!” I had to share some of it with you, so here is a quote from the section entitled “Intervention: An Introduction.”
“(excerpted from: Policy Guide For Novice Field Agents, by Lord ‘X’, (internal publication of the Celestial Intervention Agency)
Of Aid To You
This document provides the most basic background and guidelines for your work. It is the barest bones of the knowledge you will require, but it is the result of, not the usual Gallifreyan theorizing, but of the raw experiences your predecessors have had in the field. Herein you will find the terms, theories, principles, and practicies of time travel; many of these will be familiar to you, but others may take on a new clarity. You will learn about the dangers posed by the temporal marauders who are our bitter foes. The history of Temporal Nexus Point Earth is discussed in depth, giving you an example of how intervention on one small planet can affect the time lines of all the universe.”
Sorta makes you wonder if The Doctor ever read that policy guide…
