Kate: Protip is you do not feel good about yourself after eating tomato sauce on iceberg lettuce.

Shindi: What's wrong with you??

Kate: I literally JUST said I ate tomato sauce on iceberg lettuce?? Pay attention.

Osgood: No, they mean other than that.

Kate: Ohhhhhh.

Kate: I haven't slept in 4 days.

[starfleetwitch]

I'm board. My predictions for Nemesis 4 under the cut.

(Also it's been out like... 20 years 💀 but spoiler for one of the Sarah Jane Smith audios)

1. Osgate are gonna have a fight

2. Osgate may share a cell

3. Kate is going to deck a time lord (this one's not a prediction, I just think Kate deserves to)

4. Kates gonna get shot. I don't mean shot at, that's a given, I mean SHOT. They did it to Sarah Jane Smith, they aren't above doing it to Kate and Nemesis has already been rough af on her so it's not a massive stretch.

5. Kate will free the remaining Vulpreen in the void world.

6. This will be the last Unit audio 😭

6.2. Because we're gonna get a spin off 🥳🥳🥳🥳

6.3. But it does mean well loose my baby boi Vikram (if we haven't already given he's not really been in Nemesis 😭) 🥺

6.4 And John Dorney's damn good writing if the spin off show doesn't take him on board as one of the writers 😭😭😭 He knows the craic. He knows the kind of actiony angsty bull shit I'm into 🥺 and he writes Kate and Osgood SO WELL! 😭 THEY HAVE DEPTH IN HIS AND THE OTHER BIG FINISH UNIT WRITERS HANDS 🥺🥺🥺

Goddammit, Big Finish!

Teaser for Chapter 5 of My Cosmos Is Yours

Colonel Shindi’s voice broke the silence. “Does that mean we can stand down for the rest of the weekend?”

“It does indeed, Colonel,” Kate confirmed. “Which means for us, Osgood, it’s time for some celebratory crêpes.” 

“What are we celebrating?” Osgood asked, looking up from her laptop. 

“Not having to deal with an alien invasion on a Sunday,” Kate said, raising a playful eyebrow.

Osgood grinned. “I can get on board with that.” 

“Why don’t I get crêpes?” Colonel Shindi groused. 

“You didn’t spend half the night in my study writing software and running data analyses,” Kate answered wryly. “You chose military life, Vikram,” she added. “You get to play with big guns; we scientists get computers and tasty breakfasts.” 

The Colonel huffed good-naturedly and signed off.  

“He’s just grumpy because he’s had my crêpes and he knows what he’s missing,” Kate smirked. Osgood wasn’t sure how to respond to that. Catching her odd look, Kate clarified. “We were on a mission a while back, before you joined I think — there was an explosion and I got slightly concussed.” She paused, lighting a burner on the stove and reaching for a pan. “Doctor Williams wouldn’t let me go home by myself —the divorce hadn’t gone through yet but I had already moved out, and I wasn’t about to call Paul— so Vikram drove me home and stayed over in the guest room.” She swirled a small pat of butter in the pan as it heated up. “I made him crêpes in the morning as a thank you.” 

Osgood grinned. “Ah, so it’s an official perk for staff members who pull overnight duty.” 

“Hah!” Kate barked out a laugh. “Only for senior staff.” She turned and winked conspiratorially at Osgood. “Better not tell the rest of the team, or everyone will start demanding crêpes when they do overtime.” 

Turning back to the stove, Kate ladled a measure of batter into the hot pan, swirling the pan with a flick of her wrist to spread the fluid batter evenly. She cocked her head in memory as the crêpe sizzled. “Mind you, Gordy chose that morning to drop by unannounced,” she chuckled drily. “I’m afraid he jumped to entirely the wrong conclusions when he met Vikram in just a robe and boxers.” 

Osgood nearly choked on her coffee, and the look on her face set off Kate’s unique, improbable honking laugh. 

“Did you just say that like that on purpose?” she asked the blonde, incredulous, once she had mostly recovered. 

Kate smirked. “Maybe.”

“You have an evil sense of humour,” Osgood said with a mock glare.

“Ah, but my crêpes are divine,” Kate replied with that brilliant smile.

Okay but UNIT putting the Dalek squid thing in a cage to carry it...

Why do I imagine something like this

Bit by all means, put a Dalek in that. I dare you.

(obviously the Dalek transport in the cage went wrong tho)

[maniacwatchestheworld]

Listening to False Negative

Me: Okay... Interesting... We have two Osgoods... Kate's being a bitch... Shindi's being a bit of a jerk too... But maybe it's because of how Kate's acting...? So this is a shapeshifter story...? Zygons maybe? Probably replaced Osgood and Kate at least...

Josh: What's with all of these 'obey' posters?

Me: -Sudden realization-

Me: -Stops the audio-

Me: -Puts face in hands-

Me: -Rejoicefully shouting from the rooftops- IT'S AN INFERNO STORY! HALLELUJAH!

[quipxotic]

There’s a sale going on at Big Finish and I want to call attention to a few audios on the list:

Dalek Universe - The three volumes of this Tenth Doctor story are back to their pre-release price. The Doctor finds himself thrown back in time to before the Time War without his TARDIS and meets up with two of his previous incarnations’ companions - Anya Kingdom and Mark Seven, both from the Space Security Service. There’s a pretty good variety of stories and, despite the name, the Daleks aren’t the only or even main antagonist here.

UNIT (The New Series) - Several box set from this series are on sale and all of them are well worth a listen. The UNIT team of Kate Stewart, Osgood, Colonel Vikram Shindi, Captain Josh Carter, and Lieutenant Sam Bishop is fantastic and the stories themselves provide a great look at what happens on Earth while the Doctors aren’t around. If I had to pick only two, I’d recommend UNIT: Extinction (the first story) and UNIT: Cyber-Reality (featuring both the Cybermen and the War Master), both of which I’ve listened to and enjoyed multiple times. Honorable mention goes to UNIT: Encounters, which is a bit of a mixed bag but also includes one of my favorite UNIT stories: “Invocation” by Roy Gill.

The Sontarans - I’ve written about this story multiple times, but it’s one of my favorite First Doctor audios. As I’ve said so very often, it’s the Doctor Who version of The Guns of Navarone.

Hour of the Cybermen - This Sixth Doctor and 1990s UNIT story is part of an excellent trilogy of audios featuring Daniel Hopkins. It’s not my favorite of the arc (that would be the Seventh Doctor story “Warlock's Cross”), but it’s still a good listen.

Classic Doctors New Monsters Vol. 2 - The stories in this series vary wildly in quality, but Vol. 2 includes two excellent and very frightening Vashta Nerada audios featuring the Fourth and Eighth Doctors.

Out of Time 2 - Gates of Hell - The second story in this series of two Doctor team-ups features the Tenth and Fifth Doctors. The story is fine, but nothing very memorable. The real draw here is the chemistry between the two Doctors, which is fantastic.

The First Sontarans - I honestly don’t remember much about this Sixth Doctor and Peri Lost Story other than I generally enjoyed it.

The Robots - I have never listened to these box sets but Liv Chenka, one of my favorite Seventh/Eighth Doctor companions, is one of the main characters.

[incorrectnewunit]

Shindi, looking at Josh: I dunno if I'm ready to process the ramifications of this bullshit.

[starfleetwitch]

Did a start a new game of Dragon Age because Ive forgotten how to play? Yes.

Was my choice Dragon age today because the dude who voices Vikram Shindi is in it and plays a Canon gay cinnamon roll? Also yes.

Have I spent the past 30 minutes trying and failing to make my character look a little bit like Bernie Wolfe? Noooooo! Why would you even think that? I wouldn't do something like that 😳😅

[pers-books]

Kate Stewart - according to Big Finish

I’ve finally finished re-listening to all of the Kate Stewart audios to date so, without further ado, I present to you the background info on Kate Stewart provided in said audios. Please note, there are one or two which feature extensive references to the Brig, but unless the conversation pertains to Kate’s background, I’ve not quoted it.

They’re listed according to boxset order and I’ve included the writer of the audio as well as the title. What I’ve learned from this is that Matt Fitton wrote a lot of background material for Kate in the early boxsets and Guy Adams in the later boxsets. 

What I also found interesting is that Big Finish has pretty much ignored the semi-canonical direct to video Downtime (1995) which first introduced Kate Stewart as the Brigadier’s daughter (then played by Beverly Cressman) insofar as BF’s writers have given Kate a much closer relationship with her father.

Vanguard - Matt Fitton

Kate's described by the internal computer security system as UNIT's Chief Scientific Researcher She "Doesn't do labels" She usually skips past Orbit News TV on the way to the movie channel

Power Cell - Matt Fitton

"My eldest is cooking. If I'm lucky there won't be any leftovers." Kate's reason for working late. "There've always been factions who'd have preferred UNIT to remain under military control. Colonel Shindi knows I haven't had an easy ride."

Ice Station Alpha - Matt Fitton

"You're setting me up as a patsy. It's been hard enough working my way up the ranks the last few years. I bet they didn't take much persuasion."

House of Silents - Matt Fitton

[sounds of gunfire] Kate Stewart: How did I do? Josh Carter: Very good grouping, ma'am. You're a natural at this. Kate Stewart: I have put in the practice before, you know. I just thought I might be getting a little rusty. Josh Carter: Keep up these sessions and I don't think you'll have anything to worry about on that front. Kate Stewart: Good! If we're caught out in a combat situation in the field I don't want to feel like the spare wheel. We were lucky to make it through that scrape with Cerberus. Josh Carter: I thought you didn't believe in luck. Kate Stewart: An ability to shoot straight should help keep the odds in our favour. Josh Carter: Shall I set up the targets for another round? Kate Stewart: No, that's enough for today. Paperwork beckons. Now, let's see if I still remember how to disassemble this. Josh Carter: This interest in military hardware is new. I thought 'Science Leads'? Kate Stewart: Oh, it does, Mr Carter. Science just needs to remember to carry a gun sometimes.

Square One - John Dorney

Kate apologises for wearing her pyjamas - she'd just settled down for an early night. Later: "I have an urgent appointment with a hot water bottle I'm very anxious to keep."

In Memory Alone - Matt Fitton

Kate Stewart: Do you know JM Barrie, Colonel? Vikram Shindi: Peter Pan chap, wasn't he? Kate Stewart: Among other things. He also wrote that "God gave us memories that we might have roses in December." [Source: Rectorial Address at St Andrew's, 3 May 1922, in The Times 4 May 1922]

Call to Arms - Matt Fitton

Kate knows first aid Kate Stewart: I don't know if it was the same in your [Benton's] day, but it's not in my nature to leave a man behind.

Tidal Wave - Guy Adams

Kate speaks Spanish well enough to translate an insult directed at her Kate doesn't do hugs - Jo Jones hugs her! Kate Stewart: I'm a pragmatist not a warmonger, Osgood, you should know that

Retrieval - Guy Adams

Kate Stewart: Fine. A small team can go and take a look Osgood: Who do you suggest? Kate Stewart: If it's a research station, Osgood, I think we need our finest scientific minds on it, don't you? Osgood: Oh. Kate Stewart: Well, don't worry, you're only one of them. Osgood: And the other? Kate Stewart: I'll pretend you didn't ask that.

Kate not wanting to kill the dinosaurs in the Silurian research base

Kate Stewart: There's a reason they let me sit in the biggest office. [Reminding Sam Bishop that she's not there because of nepotism but because she’s actually a scientist.]

United - Matt Fitton

Kate Stewart: I like to think I bring diplomacy to the table, not just a gun.

The Dalek Transaction - Matt Fitton

Kate Stewart: You don't know how hard I am to impress.

Invocation - Roy Gill

Kate stayed at Ealdon House for a week when she was a child. She can translate English-Latin and Latin-English on the fly. She was involved with the university newspaper

Game Theory - Matt Fitton

It's implied that Kate's done an advanced driving course

Code Silver - Guy Adams

Kate's had basic medical training on some of the aliens UNIT had in cold storage

Hosts of the Wirrn - Chris Chapman

Kate refuses to destroy the level of the Well while Osgood and Shana are still inside. She later regrets this when the Wirrn swarms the town of Windermere. [Side note: Shindi forgets himself enough to call Kate by her first name when she reveals she's en route to meet the Wirrn Queen. Normally he says ‘Ma’am’ or ‘Ms Stewart’.]

Breach of Trust - David K Barnes

Osgood: Things do seem to go quiet when Kate's not here. Maybe she should go on dates more often. Josh Carter: She's on a date? Osgood: Oh yes. I wasn't meant to say that. Josh Carter: [scoffing laugh] I don't believe it. Osgood: Well, as far as he's concerned it's a date. But for her it's just professional. I think. Josh Carter: Well, who's he? Osgood: Just somebody she's having a not-quite date with Josh Carter: You don't think she'll - you know? Osgood: What? Josh Carter: Tell him what she does? Osgood: Oh, you mean, 'Hi! I'm in charge of a secret international military organisation that deals exclusively in extra terrestrial activity'? Josh Carter: Yeah Osgood: More of a third date kind of announcement, I'd say Josh Carter: If it is a date Osgood: Which it isn't

Richard can't even remember the name of the Private whom he'd been harassing/having a relationship with. Kate's clearly seething quietly. He talks in demeaning terms about the Private, then immediately makes a pass at Kate.

Richard: Have we finished the bottle? Kate Stewart: We have, yes Richard: Should we order another? Kate Stewart: Well, that could be risky. Richard: How? Kate Stewart: I might smash you over the head with it Richard: Sorry? [beeping of Kate's pager] What's that noise? Kate Stewart: Oh, thank goodness. The Earth's in danger. Richard: Eh? Kate Stewart: Richard, Richard, I'd say I'm sorry I have to go, but I'm not, so I won't Richard: Hey, you can't just leave Kate Stewart: Yes, yes I can. The door's over there Richard: [whiny] Hang on, I thought that you and I might - Kate Stewart: Yes, I know you did. Goodbye Richard. Oh, dinner's on me Richard: [whining more] No, wait a second. [She's already walking away] Kate?

She gets accosted by a drunk soon after leaving the restaurant and is irritated at being told to smile because it's not the end of the world.

Kate refuses to make First Contact in a dress as she likes having pockets. She keeps a spare set of clothes in the cabinet in her office

Osgood: But there's always another way! We just have to find it! Kate Stewart: You know we haven't the time for that! Bleating on about it isn't helping anyone. It's - it's 2 in the morning and I'm about to send a mother and child off to their deaths. Now, you can try to make me feel worse about that than I already do, but I really don't know what on Earth you think you'll achieve by it! Osgood: It's not - Kate Stewart: Fair? Of course it's not fair! Osgood: [runs out] Kate Stewart: Osgood!

[Kate's crying quietly on the roof of the Tower when Osgood turns up, having been told by the Colonel where to find her] Osgood: I'm sorry for disobeying you. And for getting Josh involved. I just - I couldn't face the idea of giving in? Kate Stewart: And you thought I could? Osgood: You were doing what you thought was right Kate Stewart: [bitter laugh] Thank you Osgood: As in fact you always do Kate Stewart: Don't patronise me, Osgood. When I give an order I expect it to be followed because sometimes the needs of the many do actually outweigh those of the few even if that means someone ends up dying. And you know you'll remember their faces. Believe me, you will remember them. Osgood: I'm sorry Kate Stewart: We'll talk about it later

Open the Box - Roy Gill

Kate Stewart: I'm open to new ideas, always, but I refuse to go into anything blind

Kate went to holiday camps as a kid: "They did annoyingly upbeat announcements too."

Kate had a "Classical education" and "an abiding hatred of outdoor sports".

She enjoys custard creams.

She lives with the daily fear of losing her team.

Kate Stewart: Regret doesn't bring people back. Trust me, I know.

This Sleep of Death - Jonathan Morris

Warren Calder: The Geneva Convention outlaws torture and I know how much you care about that

Tempest - Lisa McMullin

Kate Stewart: I hate it when it's Us or Them.

The Power of River Song - Guy Adams

Josh Carter: You know Kate, she won't let emotion get in the way

Kate [to Captain Josh Carter]: I’ve kicked down my fair share of doors in this job. It’s my form of Pilates. Chant: Eugh. Miss Stewart. Kate: Don’t call me Miss Stewart. I’m not a governess in a Victorian novel. Chant: Ms? Kate: I’m here to see the Director. Chant: I’m afraid that’s quite- Kate: Let me explain something to you. One would have thought it obvious but I spend a good deal of my time spelling out the obvious to people who get paid more than me, so - Chant: MS STEWART! Kate: Shush, now. Shush. I’ve been awake for three days. I’m fighting a war of attrition with the coffee machine and I’m currently investigating my own death. It is an effort for me not to staple your tie to your desk. Chant: I understand that you’re under considerable pressure but I simply won’t be talked to like that. Kate: Right. [Sounds of a brief struggle] Chant: Ms Stewart! [Followed by sounds of stapling and somewhat heavy breathing as Kate staples Chant’s tie to his desk.] Kate [not at all breathlessly]: I did warn you. Sorry. Was - was that a very expensive tie? Chant: My mother bought it for me for Christmas. Kate: Merry Christmas. [She literally kicks open the door to the Director’s office.]

The Enemy Beyond - Andrew Smith My father was stationed in Edinburgh when I was a little girl

Fire and Ice - John Dorney

Always do what you're best at, I say.

Kate loves a pun: For now, we're going to have to put your plans on ice (after stopping an Ice Warrior from destroying a large chunk of Australia!)

Eleven's Eleven - Lisa McMullin

Kate Stewart [to the voice activated vault]: Hello. My name is Kate Stewart and I've come to rob your vault. Would you mind opening up, please?

The Curator's Gambit - Andrew Smith

Kate Stewart: Wait, is that new? The Curator: Oh no, not new. I rearrange the exhibits from time to time. Kate Stewart: It's a Turner, isn't it? The style is unmistakable. I thought I knew all of his work. Osgood: That's Hampton Court Palace. Josh Carter: What's that doing here? Is it dangerous? Curator: Ooh hardly. It was a Royal commission. Not for public display. It commemorates the Undergallery's original location beneath Hampton Court. Osgood: I didn't know that. Kate Stewart: Elizabeth founded the Undergallery in 1562. The National Gallery wasn't built until the 1830s.

Kate's aware of the optical illusion in Holbein's ‘The Ambassadors' which looks like a smudge from one angle but is clearly a skull from another.

The Curator calls Kate very astute for knowing he wouldn't leave the Arch unprotected.

Kate mentions she knows the Privy Gardens at Hampton Court Palace because she's visited.

The Man From Gallifrey - Andrew Smith

Kate goes with Josh and his rescue party to get Osgood and Jimmy Tan back. She's always prepared to risk herself for the sake of her people.

The War Factory - Lizzie Hopley

Bamberra: Can you ride a horse and shoot? Kate Stewart: Have you met my father? [In fact Bamberra was talking to him very recently.]

Ten Minutes in Hell - John Dorney

Kate refuses to let Varliss of the Vulpreen break her, despite regular whippings. She refuses to tell him anything about Earth's defences. She urges Worrall to try to escape Varliss, encouraging the Vulpreen whom Varliss has enslaved to rebel. She feels survivor's guilt after Varliss shoots Worrall because Kate refuses to tell him what he wants to know. Kate persists in her defiance because she refuses to give up hope, no matter how hopeless things look.

The Sacrifice of Jo Grant - Guy Adams

Kate gives the impression that she occasionally struggles with Jo's tendency to go off on tangents.

Kate Stewart: A few seconds to get clear. If the Official Secrets Act would ever allow my memoirs, that would be the title.

Osgood: If I can figure out the refractive index, I can probably compensate for it. Then we'd be able to see through to the other side. Kate Stewart: Already done. Someone's working from my calculations right now. You're not the only one with a PhD or two.

Kate Stewart: Why did you jump after me [after Kate's pulled through a pocket of temporal instability]? Jo Jones: I was trying to save you! Kate Stewart: One day, Miss Jones, you'll learn you can't save everybody. Jo Jones: Have you? [ouch!] Kate Stewart: I'm sorry, I - I shouldn't be snapping at you. It's just - well -

Kate carries a Mark 17 [pistol? revolver? Unclear]

Kate muses that she's not sure she can bear to speak to the Brig again (while she's in the past). Later she seriously considers it, but is interrupted before it happens. She finally does call him, after prodding from both Jo and the Third Doctor.

Kate's the one to grab Jo from the Time Vortex thanks to the Doctor's meddling. He brings Osgood 'a gadget' to track Jo through the Time Vortex, but Kate's the one to actually grab her and bring her back into their Time.

[ETA: Can’t believe I forgot there was a UNIT story in the first Eighth of March boxset!]

Narcissus - Sarah Grochala

Kate says she's weak and sees monsters in her bedroom, that she's lost in the woods and her dad can't find her. Which is how she overcomes the alien's psychic hold on her. She allows herself to feel weakness and is able to pull out her gun and shoot the mirrors, destroying the alien's power.

Osgood: I just wanted to say how sorry I am about what happened on the ship. It's not like me. Kate Stewart: It's okay. We all have crises of confidence. Osgood: Do you? Kate Stewart: Sometimes. Osgood: But you always seem so calm and collected. Kate Stewart: [weak laugh] Huh, not always. Not inside. But outside appearances must be maintained for the team. Osgood: That takes a lot of strength. Kate Stewart: You know, when I was inside those mirrors I realised something. Jordan's ship wasn't feeding off anything to do with external beauty, it was feeding off confidence, self-belief. It was never about appearance. How could it be? Physical beauty is subjective, but bravery, strength, intelligence - that's not.    

[ao3feed-wlw]

by Haggis (Karen121968)

The title is a bit misleading, this won't involve proposals of a wedding kind (Osgood proposes some other things but they are considerably more naughty and not the kind of thing you do at a registry office!)Continuing saga of our UNIT duo figuring out how to be a couple at home and a partnership at work and how to merge those two things together.Things I know not too much about in this one: the distance over which targeting lasers are effective, recovering from a bullet wound to the abdomen and the best wine to have with a nice steak pie in a pub
