conversations.value: State of Decay: After the events of Full Circle, the Doctor, Romana, K-9, and their newest companion/stowaway, Adric, arrive on a planet with a feudal society.\nThe villagers live under the thrall of three lords—Zargo, Camilla, and Aukon—who dwell in a shadowy Tower, and experience a yearly ritual called "the Selection," in which a sample of young villagers are taken to the tower, never to be seen again.\nThis selection process is enforced by a thuggish band of guards led by Habris.\nThe Doctor and Romana discover evidence of technology considerably more advanced than the mediaeval level of development of the planet, and wonder what happened to cause the planet to devolve to its current rustic condition—to be in a "state of decay".\nRomana suggests that there is a powerful force holding the inhabitants back.\nAs the two head out of the village they are seized by cloaked figures.\nMeanwhile, Adric comes to the village and is caught by the owners of the feeding house.\nAdric is discovered and captured by Lord Aukon, who sees him as an alien and worthy of becoming one of the \'chosen ones\'.\nThe cloaked figures, members of a resistance movement, convey the Doctor and Romana to a secret base filled with forbidden technology.\nKalmar is a scientist—a heretical role in their society—and is very grateful for the Doctor\'s help in repairing a computer which proceeds to reveal the names and faces of the original chief officers of the spaceship Hydrax—who look exactly like the Lords of the Tower.\nThe Lords too have learnt of Romana and the Doctor, and Aukon sends a flock of his winged servants, bats, to menace them.\nThe bats spare them and the Doctor and Romana are seized by Habris and his guards and taken to an audience in the Tower.\nZargo and Camilla entertain them for a while, then are called away to deal with a situation called the Arising.\nThe Doctor and Romana discover that in fact, the great Tower in which the Lords dwell is itself the spaceship Hydrax, originally from Earth, which also was pulled into E-Space long ago.\nThe Doctor and Romana discover rows of drained corpses, while the craft\'s fuel stores are full of blood.\nTalk turns to vampires and the fact that nearly every inhabited planet has at least one legend about them.\nThey find an amphitheatre, its floor pulsing to a loud heartbeat.\nIt is there that the Lord Aukon greets them, inviting them to become the first of the new servants of the Chosen Ones.\nWhen they refuse, Aukon tries to ensnare the Doctor.\nRomana saves him, but before they can escape, Zargo and Camilla find them and they are taken as future meals for the \'Great One\'.\nMeanwhile, the Doctor has deduced (by applying principles of consonant shifting) that the current lords\' names are a corruption of the original crew\'s last names (ie.\n"Sharkey" became "Zargo", "MacMillan" became "Camilla", and "O\'Connor" became "Aukon").\nThus the Doctor realizes that the three lords are not descendants, but members of the original crew themselves, mutated into vampires while the subjects beneath them are the descendants of the other colonists, made dull and primitive by over twenty generations of breeding and oppression.\nHe is reminded of ancient Time Lord stories of the Great Vampires—ancient enemies of the Time Lords.\nHe deduces that the Great Vampire escaped destruction at the hands of the Time Lords by somehow retreating into E-Space, and it managed eventually to gather enough power to pull the old Earth ship into this universe, corrupt the main crew and use the colonists for its own ends.\nMeanwhile, a rebel called Tarak infiltrates the Tower, freeing the Doctor and Romana.\nThe Doctor returns to the TARDIS, while Romana stays with Tarak to search for Adric.\nAs they try to snap Adric out of his trance, they unknowingly awaken Zargo and Camilla.\nTarak is killed by Zargo, but the blood of the dead will not satisfy either of the lords.\nAdric throws a knife at Zargo, who pulls it out and heads for Romana while Camilla advances on Adric.\nAukon intervenes and compels them to stop, for he was the first to have contact with the mind of the Great Vampire and he alone possesses the mental power the other two crave.\nHe wants Adric as a Chosen One and Romana, a Time Lord, for sacrifice at the Arising, the first taste of revenge for their master.\nIn the throne room, the Hydrax\'s former control deck, Romana and Adric argue about their fate.\nAdric announces that he wants to be one of the \'chosen ones\' (ie.\na vampire).\nThey are taken to the bottom of the Tower (as shown in the picture above).\nIn the TARDIS the Doctor and K-9 discover that the Great Vampires could only be defeated by metal bowships designed by Rassilon, fast ships firing steel bolts that speared the monsters through the heart, (the source of the tradition of the wooden stake for lesser vampires).\nHe takes the TARDIS to Kalmar\'s base and there uses scanning equipment to scan the Tower.\nUnder the stores of blood he finds a restless, demonic presence, like an immensely ugly human with bat wings, whom he determines to be the last Great Vampire.\nHe warns it is about to be revived.\nAfter seeing it, Kalmar, Ivo and many other villagers agree to help.\nThe villagers and K-9 make an assault on the Tower.\nThe Doctor heads off to the peak of the Tower.\nInside, Adric reveals he was faking his joining to the Lords to arrange an escape, but is unable to attack Aukon and free Romana.\nThe Doctor rigs one of the spaceship/tower\'s old scoutships to launch and fall back toward the ground, driving itself into the heart of the subterranean Great Vampire.\nThe sounds of the ship launching snap Romana from her trance.\nWith the Great Vampire dispatched, the three vampire Lords crumble to dust.\nThe Doctor finds Romana and Adric and they leave the planet, hoping that, now freed from the corruptive effect of the vampires, it will develop once again toward its former advanced state and even, perhaps, surpass it.\nThis serial comprises the second leg of an extended adventure generally known as "The E-Space Trilogy"; the trilogy began in the previous serial, Full Circle, and concludes in Warriors\' Gate.\nThe Doctor mentions his childhood on Gallifrey and "an old hermit who lived up in the mountains of south Gallifrey [and] used to tell me ghost stories" – tales of the Time Lords\' war with the Vampires.\nThis is the first mention of the Doctor\'s mentor from his youth since his last regeneration.\nThis figure, K\'anpo (or Cho-Je) is first mentioned in The Time Monster and seen in Planet of the Spiders.\nThe Virgin New Adventures spin-off novel Blood Harvest by Terrance Dicks and the Missing Adventure Goth Opera by Paul Cornell are sequels to this serial.\nOther Doctor Who novels featuring vampires include Vampire Science and Warmonger.\nThe Doctor\'s companion Bernice Summerfield encounters three sets of vampires, including a servant of the ancient Vampires from State of Decay, in the novella collection The Vampire Curse.\nMany of the novels feature references to the war between the Time Lords and the Vampires.\nAnother anti-Vampire weapon, the N-Forms, were introduced by Russell T Davies in his New Adventures novel Damaged Goods.\nBowships are mentioned in the Doctor Who Annual 2006 as one of the weapons used in the Time War against the Daleks, along with N-Forms and Black Hole Carriers.\nThe Fourth Doctor segment of The Eight Doctors, in which the Fourth Doctor is captured by the last few surviving vampires and is rescued by Romana and the Eighth Doctor, takes place between the destruction of the Great Vampire and the end of this story (Adric and K9 miss the Eighth Doctor\'s arrival due to them remaining in the TARDIS to recuperate from the events of this story).\nThe Big Finish Productions audio dramas , Project Lazarus, and Zagreus refer to the vampires and to their history with the Time Lords.\nThe BBC audio webcast Death Comes to Time features a vampire named Nessican.\nAll these stories except Zagreus depict vampires different from the ones seen in State of Decay.

  Everyone thinks they know what a revivor is, but the truth is the only ones who really know are the revivors themselves. The first time I ever saw one was during my initial tour in the grinder, where even at night it was like a furnace, and when a hot breeze blew through the brush, I could smell them. When that first one moved into the moonlight where I could see it, I was scared. I had never been as scared about anything else before. People argue about what goes on in their heads, but I couldn't tell what it was thinking, or whether it was thinking at all. All I can really say is that no one who has seen a revivor face-to-face would ever choose to become one. That was why I was in the elevator of that building the night that it all started.
  Heading up to the eighty-second floor, I watched the numbers flip and tried to calm my heart. Assistant Director Noakes had put me on the case because of my prior experience with revivors, but I would have volunteered. Those things belong in the ground, but short of that, they belong on the other side of the world, not on mine.
  The car ground to a stop and the doors opened into a barely lit corridor. I stepped out into the shadows and moved toward the door at the far end. Everything I saw was recorded and then transmitted to the men below through the implant wired near the base of my skull. They monitored the visual feed and even my vital signs as they waited for my signal. I opened the secure communications circuit and sent them confirmation.
  The words floated in front of me, then faded as I moved down the hall. Like a lot of properties in the area, most of the offices were empty; there were a few businesses scraping by, but past the sixtieth floor the place was vacant, except for one. The office I was visiting supposedly bought and sold small-scale third-party processing components, which was a nice touch. I had no doubt that front even made a little extra money on the side.
  I made my way past the locked rooms and dark offices until I came to the one I was looking for. The door was closed and unmarked, with a black buzzer next to it. I pushed the button and waited.

conversations.value: The end result was the same, though; the killer had overpowered him and landed his signature blow. A deep puncture wound gaped from the middle of his chest. Clear liquid had been splashed across the floor a few feet away over by the workbench, where a plastic jug of bleach lay open on its side.
  Could that be? Could the reason Harold Craig hadn't called the police after witnessing the crime at Valle's apartment be because he didn't have time? Because he was attacked shortly afterward himself?
  The fumes were making me light- headed. For all I knew, the bleach had combined with some other chemical down there and had created some kind of toxic gas. Why did he come down into the one place he had to have known there was no way out of?
  They struggled in the kitchen, and he came down into the basement. The killer overtook him again at the workbench and they struggled. There was a wound on the side of Craig's wrist that looked like it was from an impact, like it had been smashed against something....
  He managed to get it too. The killer closed the distance and grabbed him. He smashed his wrist against the workbench, forcing him to drop it. Had he gotten a shot off?

conversations.value: Sean was looking at me, pupils still wide, waiting for an answer. Except for some reason his little trick wasn't working, and he hadn't realized that. Not yet. His eyes narrowed.
  Sean's eyes stayed the same, but his face relaxed a little and his tone of voice changed when he spoke again.
  I had known Sean for years. Our relationship had always been the same, and I trusted him with my life. Seeing him then, it was like he had pulled off a mask.
  I knew there was a lot riding on my answer. This was important to him, very important. I had never seen him so serious about anything before in my life. Fawkes had been telling the truth. The group he described, they did exist. They had infiltrated even the FBI, and they knew about him.
  I could have told him I didn't know or I could have told him the truth, but something told me to play that information close to the vest.
