The Terminal Decay Concordance

Terminal Decay by unslinky is a fan fiction novel that takes place shortly after the episode "The Planet of the Dead"in the series Doctor Who. The story is Alternate Universe to everything Doctor Who and Torchwood after that. Unslinky started posting this amazing story in May 2010 and here it is March 2011 and the story is far from being completed. The story is on the website A Teaspoon and an Open Mind.

I am such a big fan of this novel and it's amazing complexities, I decided to write a
concordance for Terminal Decay.
The labels in this blog can be used to track of who's who and what's what in the novel. For instance if you scroll down to "seizures" you'll find that it has (3). When you click on that label you'll come up with the Chapters that has someone having a seizure: Chapter 410, 509, 555.
The summaries are just to jog your memory and sometimes I'll write something pertaining to that Chapter that is a bit of TD trivia. The Blog Entries themselves are listed below the rather long (and bound to be even longer) Labels section. Summary inconsistencies should be directed to me and I'll make corrections.
Writing this is a long process so I'm far from being caught up but I'm trying! One final thing: I am American so my phrasing and spelling may look a little "off" to you in the UK
Allons-y, Donnaj

Terminal Decay Chapter 522

Chapter 522 link

Sue with the help of Andy and Lee start to get everyone out of the TARDIS and into the Torchwood hospital ward. Keith has a hard time reconciling the fact that the TARDIS has medical equipment that could save lives but is cautioned by both Donna and Sue that using the equipment out of time and duplicating the equipment could cause problems: the equipment not being created and lives lost and planets affected by going public with these medical advances. Donna worries if the TARDIS should be moved if she isn't in a safe environment. Sue assures her that the TARDIS is safe and apologizes for Keith's outbursts. Keith is unhappy that Sue left them with very little warning and rant about having to endure IVF due to being attacked by Rose in the past.

Terminal Decay Summary 504

Chapter 504 link

The TARDIS supplies Donna and Luke reams of charts and graphs pertaining to Rose’s condition. From what they can gather, the TARDIS is scared and fearful and keeps reprinting the charts and graphs. Donna and Luke through a series of questions are told by the TARDIS that she never willingly gave Rose the energy but that it was taken from her and that it hurt when she took the energy from her. The TARDIS is concerned that if the Doctor or John found this out that they would show less compassion in helping Rose in her current dire situation. The Doctor, arriving in the lab, conveys to Donna and Luke that Rose is basically frozen out of time because of the Artron energy. Nothing is going to change for Rose. She will just continue to exist until the Artron energy naturally dissipates and drops to a level where it is unable to support the suspension which could take 213,487,114 years according to Luke’s calculation. The Doctor tells Luke and Donna that in order to help Rose they need to study Jack to see what are the fundamental differences are if it this can be harnessed so that Rose can use the Artron energy to heal her injuries as much as it can in order to give her a chance. The Doctor wants to know if the Artron energy in Jack and in Rose will be less in the other universe and wants to observe how Jack heals in situ by observing a tissue sample being taken from Jack. Jack tells the Doctor he will be brave.

Terminal Decay Chapter 502

Chapter 502 link

The Doctor resists the calming, lulling effect of Jack’s platonic caresses and explains to Jack what he think will happen to Rose, that she is in a kind of Artron stasis. This stasis could last for over a million years so the Doctor believes that they have three choices: take the energy from her and allow her to die; leave her as she is and make provision for her to be cared for: though stored may be a more appropriate requirement for her in this condition, or, we try to give her a chance. One way to give Rose a chance is to research how the Artron energy is used by Jack. The Doctor convinces Jack to let him go to the lab for an hour in order to help not only Rose but John, Michael and Jacko who need to have their lives go forward and not have Rose in suspended animation; for Rose to have the best outcome to her situation. Jack is pleased to see the old determination in the Doctor but is also worried about him over extending himself and that the Doctor was doing this because he had a purpose: a life to save and people to help which he hadn’t been able to do since he arrived in Torchwood ill. The Doctor is relieved that the TARDIS let him out of the isolation room.
