Siralos



Siralos was a planet composed purely of psychic energy. It was said to be one of the 700 Wonders of the Universe.

Overview
The Master used the power of Siralos to trap the first seven incarnations of the Doctor in a series of traps. The Master also strapped several of the Doctor's enemies: Daleks, Sontarans, and Cybermen and a number of dungeons and deathtraps.

The Doctor's servitor device, known as the Graak, was tasked with rescuing each of the seven Doctors from the Master's deathtraps. The Doctor's TARDIS as well as the Master's had both been entuned with Siralos so that the Graak could reach one of the Master's dungeons by crossing the Great Divide, a nexus which led either directly into the psychic energy of Siralos, or into one of its manifestations.

The Master assigned various missions to the Graak during his quest to rescue the Doctors. These usually take the form of riddles or retrieval of an item at the Master's request. Upon sucessful completion of the mission, is the opening of another portal across the Great Divide took the Graak to a more physcial, action oriented scenario. One such scenario had the Graak materialize within the Doctor's own brain. Another has the Graak engage in a space battle with a Dalek ship. Other scenarios include car and train chases, jousts with Sontarans, and various other mazes. Upon the successful completion of these scenarios, the Doctor of that level was released from capture.
