Theory:Timeline - K9 Mark 2

This page lists appearances of K9 Mark 2 in the order in which he experienced them. This timeline is based on observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events in each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed, much like their TV story counterparts, that each novel or audio series their published/numbered order is the order they occur in.

The layout of this timeline is based in part on the observations on Clive Banks Databank, though it should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

First adventures

 * TV: Regeneration
 * K9 Mark 2 is forged from the destruction of K9 Mark I, who had self-destructed to protect Starkey, Jorjie Turner and Professor Alistair Gryffen from Jixen warriors after he and they were brought to Gryffen Manor in 2050 London by Gryffen's Space-Time Manipulator, though one Jixen escapes after spraying Starkey with a hunting mucus. K9 quickly realises that his memory bank has been damaged to the point of amnesia. As K9 adjusts to his new surrounds, Starkey is arrested by CCPC working for the Department when Darius Pike reports him for trespassing in Gryffen Manor and he is sent to virtual reality detention facility, though he manages to escape when the Jixen hunts him down. Returning to Gryffen Manor, Gryffen hides Starkey and K9 from Department Inspector June Turner, and K9 gives Starkey a Dog whistle as a show of friendship.


 * TV: Liberation
 * Set shortly after Regeneration, with Starkey still hiding at Gryffen Manor. K9 investigates Jixen activity at Dauntless Prison, but is shot down by the Department's Head of Public Order, Inspector Drake, just as Starkey and Darius are arrested for trespassing by Governor Thorne and June, though Jorjie is able to liberate them and the aloen prisoners of Dauntless Prison. K9 recovers in time to save Starkey from the Jixen when it arrives to battle the Meron working undercover in the Department, but the Jixen is killed by the combine forces of June, Darius, Jorjie and Starkey. Darius and Starkey learn that June is Jorjie's mother, and Dauntless Prison is shut down when Gryffen leaks its illegal activities to the media. With the Jixen gone, Starkey elects to leave Gryffen Manor, with K9 joining him on the streets.


 * TV: The Korven
 * K9 and company have their first battle with a Korven when one emerges from the STM and kidnaps Gryffen, though he is swiftly rescued. In gratitude for saving him, Gryffen deletes Starkey's dissident file from the Department's computers so he no longer has to a be a fugitive, and, at Jorjie's suggestion, gives him a room in Gryffen Manor to stay in.


 * TV: The Bounty Hunter
 * A bounty hunter named Ahab emerges from the STM looking for K9 to prevent him exposing him and the Jixen warriors murdering Zanthus Pia in the year 50000. With the Department taking an interest in K9, June deputises him and his friends as the K9 Unit to assist her in dealing with alien incursions.
