Emily Boyes-Dennison

Emily Boyes-Dennison was the daughter of Professor Boyes-Dennison, the man who designed and created the three ships (Cygnus,  Lynx and Draco), which were flown to the Moon in 1878.

She took a camera with her to take a few pictures of the new environment. She was forced to abandon it after being chased by a giant native. She was taken captive with Captain Haliwell to the Citadel, where they were kept prisoner.

She and Haliwell were forced to perform in tests, concerning their strength and stamina. They were given tests including running, climbing and swimming. In a larger test, they were forced to pick weapons for them to fight. Emily picked a longbow and arrows. She also picked a dagger just in case. Inside a vast room, which was more of an artificial forest, they were forced to fight all manor of creatures. Their last enemy was a Hydra, which managed to stick one of its horns through her body, just below her rib cage. When back at their prison cell, Haliwell treated her with an interesting solution, which repaired the skin rapidly and ceased the pain.

After escaping the Citadel, she was keen to ride one of the saucers, to Haliwell's worry.

During the flight back to Earth, Halliwell proposed to Emily, but she asked him to consider if he would support her beliefs in equal rights for the genders rather than believing in her as an individual example. After the attack by the Vrall was narrowly averted by the Doctor and Turlough, Halliwell immediately proposed to Emily again after she was discovered alive, telling her that, while he did not yet share her views, he was willing to learn more from her.
