Flashback (comic story)


 * For other uses of the word flashback, see Flashback

Summary
The Doctor gives Benny a lesson in Gallifreyan history using a 3-D holo-simulation. They watch as Magnus attempts to drain the power from a huge sphere of Artron energy which has been brought back from the Time Vortex. Magnus is strongly opposed by his former friend Theta Sigma who, when it is revealed the Artron energy is alive, uses a Chancellery Guard's gun to break the drain and set the energy being free.

The holo-simulation ends. The Doctor explains that Theta was commended by the High Council for his actions; Magnus never forgave him and the friendship between the two was lost forever. The Doctor comments that it has been enough ancient history for one day; the past will always be there, but he far prefers the future.
