June (The Slitheen Excursion)

June was a university student from the 21st century who briefly joined the Tenth Doctor on an adventure on Earth.

Travels with the doctor
June first met the Tenth Doctor while on a trip to the Acropolis in Greece in the 21st century. Without having spoken to him, June helped the Doctor drive off a group of aliens who were attempting to plant a bomb powerful enough to blow up Greece. To thank her for her help, the Doctor offered to take her back to see the Acropolis when it was new, an offer which June accepted. (PROSE:The Slitheen Excursion)

However, along the way, the Doctor received a distress signal from the same area in 1500BC, resulting in June being sent to the past with the Doctor, as well as being caught up in the Doctor’s latest fight with the Slitheen. They found the crime family running "package tours" into the past, endangering human history as humanity grew dependent on the aliens for survival, rather than developing themselves.

While the Doctor went to examine the Slitheen's time-travel technology and to make it broadcast the distress signal that drew June and him in the first place, June took part in some of the "displays" organised by the Slitheen: mock battles from future history, demonstrating humanity's brutality.

June won alien support for humanity when she was part of a group forced to re-enact the last battle of the Platonic war. She had the actors playing the humans retreat before the "alien" forces. In the riots that followed, a Slitheen abducted a baby from one of the tourists for a hostage. A young woman the Doctor and June had befriended took the child to try the same. June talked the woman down and convinced her to return the child to its mother, letting the aliens see humans weren’t the monsters they had believed them to be. (PROSE: The Slitheen Excursion)

Outraged at this latest threat to their business, the Slitheen tried to kill June, but due to the support garnered by her actions, the tourists instead rose in anger against the Slitheen, forcing them to retreat. (PROSE: The Slitheen Excursion)

With the Slitheen threat gone, the Doctor took June to 952 BC to show her Athens as he had originally promised, and then returned her to the present. As part of his goodbye, the Doctor explained to June that he believed the aliens they had encountered when they first met had been trying to recover the now dormant Slitheen. These, in turn, had reverted to stone while they waited for rescue. (PROSE: The Slitheen Excursion)

Now back in the 21st century, June realized she had missed her train back home. The Doctor offered her a ride home as a last trip in apology for making her miss her train. (PROSE: The Slitheen Excursion)

Personality
During her time with the Doctor, June showed courage and compassion, diving in to help the Doctor when she saw him threatened by the aliens without having spoken to him before. She also showed initiative and a useful ability to think on her feet. When a Slitheen tried to strangle the Doctor after he had asked uncomfortable questions, she saved his life by claiming he was there to review their tours for a magazine; this deception was eventually exposed.

June told the Doctor that she was studying Classics, though many people often asked her why she wasn't taking a real subject, to which the Doctor expressed his appreciation of her studying simply for the love of it. (PROSE:The Slitheen Excursion)
