Terminal Decay Chapter 16
Chapter 16 link
After walking to Torchwood, the Doctor is exhausted from the walk. He experiences a dizzy spell and tremors. Martha asks the Doctor to write down what his vitals should be when he is healthy and all of the symptoms he is experiencing, no matter how insignificant he may think they are. Mickey and the Doctor have a philosophical discussion of travelling with the Doctor in the TARDIS, which the Doctor believes he should never have any more companions because of the risks, Mickey disagrees. Mickey talks about having his unborn twins in the TARDIS and how the benefits of traveling in the TARDIS can far outweigh the risks.

Chapter 15 link
The Doctor tells Martha and Jack that he is degenerating, that he has no Time Lord Energy and that he will die. Martha and Jack are stunned that the Doctor talks about euthanasia because that is what happens to Time Lords after their 13 regeneration: they die. Both Jack and Martha despite the Doctor's fears, believe that they should try and come up with a solution. Jack convinces the Doctor to meet Luke who figured out how to get the TARDIS back to Earth when the TARDIS was drifting in the void.

Terminal Decay Chapter 9
Chapter 9 link
Martha now understands why she can’t touch the doctor: she is unable to shield her thoughts from the Doctor as she is mind blind the Doctor is unable to shield anyone else’s thoughts of the people that touch him except for Jack who is telepathic. The Doctor still doesn’t know what is wrong with him and why he called Martha and why he’s been cold and can’t get warm. The Doctor doesn’t realize he placed the milk in the microwave and not the refrigerator, and he also hasn’t had a proper meal since Christmas 1851 which in Martha’s timeline was five months previous. The Doctor admits that he knows that he hasn’t been experimented on, kidnapped or tortured to Jack. Martha makes the Doctor promise that he won’t run off before the tests are made and they can find out what is wrong with him. The Doctor confides that he can’t connect telepathically with the TARDIS since the Zed Neutrino energy on the Cruciform. The Doctor believes that the TARDIS is playing games with him by moving rooms around moving things around in the kitchen too. The Doctor thinks the TARDIS is unhappy with him because he took Rose back to the other universe.Jack and Martha believes it’s not the TARDIS that is not talking to the Doctor but that the Doctor for some reason is losing his ability to communicate with the TARDIS. The Doctor has another dizzy spell and loses his breakfast again. There is also a concern as to why the Doctor is not healing. The Doctor asks Jack to delay going in to Torchwood and doesn’t realize that it is spring/April because he’s forgotten.

Terminal Decay Chapter 8
Chapter 8 link
Jack stays overnight at Martha’s flat to watch over the Doctor. The Doctor has several nightmares during the night. The Doctor asks Jack why he didn’t ever tell him he was a telepath and Jack remarks that the Doctor never told him either, but being a 51st century human who was and who had training with the Time Agency. The Doctor discovers that he can no longer feel Jack’s “wrongness” of being an immortal. The Doctor has lost all his Time Lord time sense: Jack’s wrongness, what time it actually is. Jack believes that playing Play Station has helped with Torchwood tactics and explaining dangerous situations to Mickey. The Doctor plays Resident Evil 9 and has a nasty reaction to it and has his second bout with a flashback to Arcadia: the penultimate battle of the Time War. The Doctor again has problems with his short term memory asking for water and expecting tea. The Doctor and Jack watch the Disney animated film The Sword and The Stone.

Terminal Decay Summary Chapter 3
Chapter 3 link
The Doctor, upon arriving at Martha’s flat refuses to ride in the elevator
and chooses to walk the twelve floors up to her apartment. The Doctor is
physically more winded than Martha is from the ascent up the stairs. The
Doctor is pale and sweating from this exertion and is giving Martha more to
be concerned about. He again seems forgetful (this time about Sarah Jane and
Luke staying at Martha’s during visits.)
The Doctor has an incident of vertigo while on Martha’s balcony and tries to
cover his dizzy spell saying he must have tripped. He eventually admits to Martha that he doesn’t know what could be wrong with him. Again in this Chapter the
Doctor’s memory is incorrect as he puts sugar in Martha’s tea. The Doctor
may be ill but his Time Lord hearing is just fine as he couldn’t help but
hear Martha’s side of the conversation with Jack about his health. The Doctor
overreacts to spilled wine on his shirt and believes the wine is actually blood.

The Doctor arrives in Cardiff and parks the TARDIS over the entrance to
Torchwood on the Plass. The Doctor is not his characteristically manic self
and is not showing his usual enthusiasm for meeting new people. In this case
Ianto and Gwen. It is evident in this chapter that the Doctor is having
problems with his memory of past and more recent events which Jack points out
to him.
The Doctor is avoiding physical contact and shows discomfort from the
friendly pat on the back from Jack. The Doctor’s affect is totally out of
character for him, as Martha noted, there was no passion in his voice nor any
energy in his mannerisms. It is the first time in this chapter that the
Doctor physically is unwell when he has his first dizzy spell in front of
Martha and Jack. Martha suggests that the Doctor not leave immediately but
stay a few days in flat she shares with her fiancee Tom Milligan.

listens to the Doctor’s rather disjointed take on his life and recent travels

great idea. The Doctor reluctantly agrees to travel to Cardiff after being bribed with the offer of tea and Jaffa cake.
