I, Kamelion (audio story)

 was the first audiobook to be released in the Interludes series. An independent story, it was released on the bonus downloads of the audio anthology Forty: Volume 1. It was written by Dominic G. Martin and featured the Fifth Doctor, Turlough and Kamelion.

Publisher's summary
The planet Tairot is a haven for technology, dedicated to improving the quality of life for its inhabitants one cerebral implant at a time. And yet with no memory to guide him, Kamelion finds himself to now be one of those inhabitants, taken from his self-imposed exile and forced into a human body. A seemingly permanent one.

With a new conspiracy unfolding around him, Kamelion begins his quest to find answers. Why have the Doctor and Turlough become public enemy number one? What is the truth behind the planet's technology? And most of all…how does an android dream of electric beasts?

Plot
The Doctor detects a power surge in Kamelion's room and hurries there with Turlough, finding that Kamelion has collapsed as a result of absorbing a huge amount of data on human cultures and behaviours from the TARDIS database. He erases this knowledge upon being disconnected and shares that he has pondering the purpose of his existence, prompting the Doctor and Turlough to take him with them onto 31st century Tairot and fill him in on their recent adventures and Tegan's departure. They hear a scream and find a braindead woman with a K-Loud implant which Kamelion believes has uploaded her mind. To diagnose the problem, he interfaces with the implant and is attacked by a polygon creature.

Kamelion finds himself in the human body of Phoenix Wrangle, a CitraTech developer, without any memory of how he got there. Phoenix's wife, Tara, eventually accepts that the person in her husband's body is not him and listens to Kamelion's story about his creation and his time aboard the TARDIS. He remembers how he came to be in Phoenix's body and how he heard a man's voice in the K-Loud telling him to "help her" and then asks about Phoenix, who Tara says was the creator of the implant. Citra, however, claimed otherwise and won the legal case, after which Phoenix came to work at CitraTech before resigning. Kamelion promises that he will do his best to get Phoenix back with the help of the Doctor.
