the Battle of The Crater]].]]

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: There are no records of women flying combat helicopter missions during Vietnam. It seems highly unlikely that Alice would have been that chopper to be rescued by The Doctor in real life. [[www.vietnamwomensmemorial.org/pdf/jholm.pdf According to an article on the Vietnam Womens' Memorial website]], the USAF had a policy barring women from the active combat areas in Vietnam.

* TheMerch: [[invoked]]Of ''Daleks''.

The Doctor tries [[TalkingYourWayOut to talk his way out of it]], but he's feeling woozy; [[SlippingAMickey what was in that drink anyway]]? When he gets to he's [[DistressedDude captured]]. [[RunningGag Again.]] The General, Tillington, has him released from his cuffs immediately. [[AnOfficerAndAGentleman Turns out he's not that bad]]. He shows the Doctor around [[PunnyName Global Warning]], which is a global organization preparing for an AlienInvasion, using TimeTravel based messages of... [[OhCrap The Daleks]]. Wait, what's the year again? 2158? That's one year after [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth Oh Crap]], [[FromBadToWorse Oh Crap]]!

Beware! The [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth Dalek Invasion of Earth]]! [[AlienInvasion Here they come]]! Get ''[[TheMerch yours]]'' today! [[ShowWithinAShow Wait, what?]]

The Doctor is just visiting a hotel, he doesn't know what year it is, he doesn't know where he is. As he's going down in the elevator, he gets recognized by [[GeneralRipper a General]]. This General apparently knows a lot about the Doctor. His name, the fact he's a [[TimeTravel time traveller]] and [[OhCrap the fact he's travelling with Nyssa]]...

The Doctor tries [[TalkingYourWayOut to talk his way out of it]], but he's feeling woozy; [[SlippingAMickey what was in that drink anyway?]] When he gets to he's [[DistressedDude captured.]] [[RunningGag Again]].

The General wants the Doctor on his side, but realizes that the Doctor may want to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong (or MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight), seeing as the Doctor thinks of BetterTheDevilYouKnow, seeing as he ''knows'' [[RunningGag the Dalek Invasion of Earth]] (No seriously, take a shot every time this is mentioned exactly the way it's phrased. You'll be sloshed by the end of it.) will end up with the Daleks defeated. [[SanDimasTime In the meantime]] [[MeanwhileInTheFuture in the past]] Nyssa is testing out a new gadget she's created that can communicate across time. Convenient. She stumbles upon a knight, Sir Mulberry, [[ClarkesThirdLaw who thinks she's a witch]]. [[RunningGag In fact he'll be saying everything is witchcraft during this adventure]]. They manage to stumble off a cliff and through a [[PortalToThePast Portal To The Future]].

The Doctor, not wanting anything to do with erroneous timelines, makes a run for it. He stumbles upon Wilton, who's the cousin to General Tillington (Would that make him Wilton Tillington? Rubbish name.) and they go on the lam. Quickly they find the TARDIS where the Doctor left it. Wilton, despite the Doctor's protest, hitches a ride along with the Doctor. But he brought [[TheMerch some toys]]. Of Daleks. [[{{Foreshadowing}} Why?]] Nyssa and Sir Mulberry end up in yet another war. This time, UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar where they meet [[TokenMinority Floyd]] who fights for the confederacy. ''Willingly''. They're on the hill at Petersburg. [[OhCrap Didn't that get blown up?]] The Doctor, with Floyd, travels back into the past and ends up in Petersburg, [[BigDamnHeroes just in time!]]

[[FromBadToWorse It's the wrong Petersburg]], ''in another state''. The Doctor turns off the the Time Track Crossing Protection Protocol which stops the TARDIS from crossing its own timeline, and ''still'' manages to pick up Nyssa, Sir Mulberry [[AndZoidberg and Floyd]] before the explosion hits.

The TARDIS' passengers, no wait, not the humans, the ''Daleks''!... Well, to be honest, the... er, [[KillerRabbit toy Daleks]] start running away from the Doctor, Wilton and Nyssa, until the Doctor realizes there is one in the console room. [[BatmanGambit This one was purposefully leading them away from the console room]]! Luckily, they try to take over the console but fail miserably.

The (full sized) Daleks escort the three away from the TARDIS, using the others as hostages, towards some massive structures. As they get closer, Wilton realizes what they are. Thousands, no, millions... Millions upon millions of Daleks stacked on top of each other. ''Fused'' to each other. Nyssa is afraid that they function together as a [[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E7Logopolis supercomputer, like on Logopolis]]. The Doctor encourages Wilton to sing "[[StandardSnippet Three blind mice]]" with him. Luckily, the DoubleMeaning of the lyrics get through to the people in the TARDIS, and they set up a plan. [[ChekhovsGun Ah yes, the device Nyssa was working on]]! They manage to patch through with Tillington, who wants to see the Doctor! They get a feed on the Doctor's current events, though...

Then it hits the Doctor. The Daleks have doublebacked on themselves, and instead of invading 2157, they're going to invade 2158, warping the timeline into the current one. And they're broadcasting. All the time broadcasting subliminally. This is why the Daleks have [[TheMerch toys]], [[ShowWithinAShow TV programmes]], and this is why Alice, Floyd and Mulberry have been hearing whispers! They're all subliminal messages, and they're planning to unleash a batch of {{Nanomachines}} all over the various timelines, ensuring [[ToWinWithoutFighting a bloodless victory]] where the Daleks only need to show up and they'll be practically welcomed to invade. All they need is a TimeMachine. Ah yes, well unfortunately there's only one of those here, isn't there?

Well, he can't focus on that too much. [[FishOutOfTemporalWater He's still got some passengers to take home]].

* AlienInvasion: The Daleks are prepared to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth invade the Earth]]. [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E12TheStolenEarth Again]]. [[TimeyWimeyBall Well they will again]].

* CallBack: "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth We are the masters of Earth]]!"

* DeadPanSnarker: Both the Doctor and Nyssa have this in spades in this story.

* ForeShadowing: The whispers.

* KillerRabbit: [[spoiler: The toy Daleks]].

** Sir Mulberry. [[UsefulNotes/TheCrusades Literally]].

* OhCrap: [[spoiler: When the Doctor realizes the Daleks have manifested at the Pan-Temporal Ambience , and are staging a full scale invasion of all periods of time on Earth, and the plan of converting all humans into Dalek slaves on a nano-tech level]].

* RailRoading: The TARDIS at one point gets stuck in something that is similar to a Time Corridor.

* ThatsNoMoon: [[ThatsNoMoon Thats No Mountain Range]]

* TimeParadox: The story takes place in one [[spoiler: taking place because the Daleks have travelled back in their own timeline in order to invade Earth a year later, so that their first invasion becomes null and void.]]

* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: The Greylish is actually a seed for the Nano-Daleks, and a construct]].

* WarIsHell: A very {{Anvilicious}} one. The story starts off with military flexing their muscle on the Doctor. Then goes to UsefulNotes/TheCrusades, UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar, UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar..
* ZeeRust: The TimeTravel technology Earth has.

The Doctor, not wanting anything to do with erroneous timelines, makes a run for it. He stumbles upon Wilton, who's the cousin to General Tillington (Would that make him Wilton Tillington? Rubbish name.) and they go on the lamb. Quickly they find the TARDIS where the Doctor left it. Wilton, despite the Doctor's protest, hitches a ride along with the Doctor. But he brought [[TheMerch some toys]]. Of Daleks. [[{{Foreshadowing}} Why?]] Nyssa and Sir Mulberry end up in yet another war. This time, UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar where they meet [[TokenMinority Floyd]] who fights for the confederacy. ''Willingly''. They're on the hill at Petersburg. [[OhCrap Didn't that get blown up?]] The Doctor, with Floyd, travels back into the past and ends up in Petersburg, [[BigDamnHeroes just in time!]]

* TheMerch: Of ''Daleks''.

* ClarkesThirdLaw: Sir Mulberry has this of everything. But then again [[TheCrusades where he's from]]...

* TheCrusades: Nyssa starts out here.

** Sir Mulberry. [[TheCrusades Literally]].

* FakeAmerican: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] Tillington is played by [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0394054/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 William Hope]].

* HeyItsThatGuy: General Tillington is played by Creator/WilliamHope who, among other things, starred in ''Film/FullMetalJacket'' and ''Film/{{Aliens}}''.

* {{Anvilicious}}: THE HUMANS USE AWFUL WAR TACTICS LIKE AGENT ORANGE, BLOWING UP HILLS, ENFORCING THEIR OWN RELIGION UPON OTHERS, AND SENDING IN UNTRAINED SOLDIERS TO FIGHT WARS WHILST THE DALEKS WANT TO BLOODLESSLY TAKE OVER THE EARTH WITHOUT FIGHTING. '''GET IT'''!?

* TrueNeutral: The Greylish, the creature that willed the Pan-Temporal Ambience into being.

* ValuesDissonance: Mulberry uses outdated racial slang for moors, [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar Alice]] has a thing against the [[CaptainObvious well]], and Floyd is from a day and age where people of African heritage were thought of as lessers.
