Argus


 * ''You may be looking for Argus Possiter.

The Argus was a marine biology research ship which plied the oceans of the planet Kyrol. Though not a hospital to most sentient life forms, it was so for Izzy Sinclair. The Doctor brought her to the facility soon after she had unwillingly swapped bodies with Destrii. (DWM: Ophidius) Dr. Alison Lavelle atteneded Izzy personally, creating detailed notes about Izzy's new biology. (DWM: Children of the Revolution)   These notes would later save Destrii's life on Hippocrates Base — soon after she and Izzy switched back into their rightful bodies. (DWM: Sins of the Fathers) The Argus was captained by Julius Otago. It took damage near the Asmada Ridge, which ruptured part of its hull and exposed the flaw in using low-cost ecotronic fission reactors for power. Indeed, the reactors nearly took down the ship and all its crew, but for the mysterious intervention of Daleks. In reversing the overheating reactors, the Daleks of Kyrol proved themselves to be an entirely new kind of Dalek. They brought the vessel back to their secret city within the Asmada Ridge, where they made every passenger depart the ship. Then, they destroyed the vessel, in order to prevent any of the crew from returning to the outside world and compromising the secrecy of their city. (DWM: Children of the Revolution)
