Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)

Synopsis
''The Doctor and Peri journey to Los Angeles 2009 to do battle with a Piscon. His name is Zarl, and he's a fish of utmost evil.

Zarl is going to steal all the water of Earth and sell it to the highest bidder. Or blow up the San Andreas fault. Or the planet. Or something like that. He's a bit vague on that point.

Fortunately, to stop him there’s help from an unexpected source: a future version of Peri. She knows Zarl's dark secret.

But should the future Peri be on Earth at all? Something smells fishy – and it's not just Zarl.''

Continuity

 * The Fifth Doctor refers to the Pescatons, whom he claims are more violent than the Piscons. (Doctor Who and the Pescatons)
 * Peri wonders if her mother is still alive in 2009. (BFA: The Reaping)
 * The Fifth and Sixth Doctors also met each other in BFA: The Sirens of Time and BFA: The Four Doctors.
 * The older Peri claims that the disappearance of the Mary Celeste's crew was caused by Piscons wanting to take over human forms. This was later revealed that to be completely made up. In reality, the First Doctor and his companions Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright and Vicki Pallister were indirectly responsible for the disappearance as the TARDIS materialised on the ship shortly after the Daleks had arrived via their own time machine. The crew of the Mary Celeste mistook the cyborgs for the "Barbary Terror" and they jumped overboard. The Doctor and his companions were unaware of the name of the ship that they had landed on. (DW: The Chase) However, the Doctor would later discover his own involvement with the crew's disappearance as his fifth incarnation told Alan, a student intern at the Gogglebox, that he was "sort of" responsible. (BFA: The Gathering)
 * The Fifth Doctor tells Peri that he understands exactly what she means when she says that she does not like her future self. The First Doctor was singularly unimpressed by both his second and third incarnations, whom he described as "a clown" and "a dandy" respectively. The Second Doctor shares his immediate predecessor's low opinion of the Third Doctor. (DW: The Three Doctors, DW: The Five Doctors) The Fifth Doctor was similarly unimpressed upon meeting his sixth and seventh incarnations (BFA: The Sirens of Time) as well as his tenth incarnation, though he was originally unaware of his identity. (DW: Time Crash) Furthermore, in BFA: The 100 Days of the Doctor, the Sixth Doctor claims that, from what he has heard, his immediate successor is the violent type and is "always blowing up planets." (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks, NA: The Pit, NA: Blood Heat, MA: Cold Fusion)
 * In an attempt to jog the older Peri's memories, the Sixth Doctor mentions Sil ([DW]]: Vengeance on Varos, BFA: Mission to Magnus, DW: Mindwarp), the Tractators (BFA: The Hollows of Time), the Ice Warriors (BFA: Mission to Magnus) and Davros. (DW: Revelation of the Daleks)
 * The older Peri remembers her first encounter with the Doctor involving a "robot with an identity crisis", "some religious types" and a "crazy guy with a beard". (DW: Planet of Fire)
 * The Sixth Doctor remembers the younger Peri and his previous incarnation encountering the older version of Peri defeating Zarl in Los Angeles in 2009.
