Glum Culture (comic story)

Summary
The TARDIS’ calibrators need to recalibrate and they land in the sealed habitation pod of Olbec’s. They find the place in disrepair and the inhabitants glum. The TARDIS falls through the floor of the pod and the Doctor decides to restore service by going to the central hub. In the hub, Doctor and Heather encounter Trundle-V robot who tells them that all other servobots are on a recharge cycle, as the mayorbot allowed all robots to delegate their duties whilst they do so. They decided to visit the city hall but are set upon by servobots wanting orders. Heather orders them to leave them alone and they are able to enter City Hall. Inside they find the former model Maya De La Gratzka who disappeared 20 years ago. She purchased Podworld herself not knowing that any residents remained. All the servobots are restored and the law of delegation is removed.
