Biography
On 17 August, Dudley made a field log in which he voiced serious concerns for the safety of the human race. (WC: 14681 UNIT Field Log)

On 18 August, Dudley stood by the Time Fracture as Dr. Errol Courtney updated the field log after a spike in Chronon and Arrton readings came from the Time Fracture. When the reading started increasing again, Dudley bemusedly watched Courtney argue with Dr. Evelyn Yates until the Time Fracture spiked out energy. Dudley then decide to enter the Time Fracture to personally investigate the energy readings. (WC: 14682 UNIT Field Log)

On 19 August, he attempted to enter the Time Fracture, but was dragged in with a burst of light, along with his tether. Yates and Courtney lost contact with him, and Courtney ordered that the recording be halted. (WC: 14683 UNIT Field Log) They remained unable to contact him the following day (WC: 14684 UNIT Field Log) or indeed at any point following, leading to the development of a safer means for humans to travel through the Fracture.

Behind the scenes
On this wiki stage plays are generally not valid sources, due to variations between performances making it difficult to document; therefore Dudley's involvement in Doctor Who: Time Fracture cannot be covered in his biography. During the play, it is mentioned that Dudley landed on Karn after being absorbed by the Time Fracture, where he was nursed to health by Ohila. He then reentered the Time Fracture, and arrived in Elizabethan era England at the court of Queen Elizabeth I, whom knighted him as "Sir Robert". After five years trapped in the past, a rescue team from 2021 came for Dudley, but he was shot and killed by Zoria while trying to stop her stealing a piece of the Time Distributor.
