Robophobia (audio story)

Robophobia was a Seventh Doctor audio story released in July, 2011. It saw the reappearance of the Sandminer robots.

Synopsis
Nothing has ever been officially confirmed, but there is a rumour that on a Sandminer bound for Kaldor City, the robots somehow turned homicidal and nearly wiped out the entire crew. Can that really be true?

The robot transport ship Lorelei has a cargo of over a hundred fifty-seven thousand robots on board, all deactivated. So even if there were any truth in the rumour of that massacre, there'd still be no danger. Surely, there wouldn't...

But then, the Doctor witnesses a murder.

Continuity

 * The Kaldor City Company has covered up the recent massacre on the Storm Mine 4, which occurred several months earlier. The Fourth Doctor and his companion Leela were present for that incident. (TV: The Robots of Death)
 * The Doctor uses his respiratory bypass system. (TV: Pyramids of Mars)
 * The Doctor is travelling in the Black TARDIS. (AUDIO: Black and White)
 * This is set after AUDIO: Occam's Razor, in the Kaldor City series. In that story, Firstmaster Chairholder Uvanov made a proposal to the company board concerning the opening up of trade links between Kaldor and other colony worlds. This reconciles the continuity of the Kaldor City series with this story, in which Kaldor City has a massive interstellar robot trade.
