Big Finish Doctor Who/Recap/021 Dust Breeding
The Doctor and Ace are admiring the TARDIS art gallery, containing collections from the length and breadth of the universe that the Doctor... "rescued" moments before History indicated they were to be destroyed. But there's just one piece missing; Edward Munch's "The Scream". Hating to have a bare wall, the Doctor decides to pop off to the future colony and shipping hub of Duchamp 331, a planet with no real flora or fauna to speak of, where it's scheduled to soon disappear under mysterious circumstances.
Upon arriving, they instantly find themselves answering a Distress Call from one refueling station attendant... who insists his station had been attacked by the dust.
Meanwhile, Madame Elsa Salvadori is preparing to embark on her luxury art and hob-nobbing cruise to Duchamp 331, along with an assortment of similar well-to-dos and nobles... a cruise funded by the mysterious, masked Mr Seta...

- Cool Mask: Mr Seta wears a beautiful gold mask... with good reason.
- Distress Call
- Phlebotinum Overload: The Master has lost his Antony Ainley-shaped figure, explained due to a failed previous attempt of trying to harness and capture the Warp Core.
- Public Domain Artifact: Here we learn Edvard Munch was inspired to paint "The Scream" because a psychotic alien Weapon of Mass Destruction had taken residence inside his head, and the cathartic action of painting transplated it into the canvas. Doctor Who. It's never boring.
- Turned Against Their Masters: The Warp Core was made to be the ultimate weapon. It worked perfectly, as its creators found out the hard way.
- Weapon of Mass Destruction: The Warp Core, designed to fight an equally dangerous race of Exclusively Evil monsters, The Krill. In the finale, the Core controls/inhabits all the dirt and dust of an entire planet.
- Wham! Line: Although pretty much common knowledge now, and quite obvious considering the Significant Anagram, the reveal at the end of episode 2 was quite a shocker at the time.

Mr Seta: They are the Krill. Unstoppable, biologically engineered killers. They are the ultimate weapon, and the method by which I will become all powerful. |
