It is the beginning of 1918, the last year of the greatest war in human history, to date. All the belligerents stagger on their feet. Starvation is an ever present reality, while disease waits in the wings. In Russia, no longer a belligerent but, instead, rapidly descending into civil war and chaos, a lone family—Father, Mother, four beautiful young girls, and a brave but sickly boy—await their own fate, shivering and hungry in the dark, hoping and praying for salvation. Their relatives in England have turned their backs. The guards set over them do little but torment them.

Echo erfüllt mit seinem umfassenden Wissen über Kampf, Rüstung und Waffen alle Voraussetzungen für einen großen Anführer. Die wild zusammengewürfelten Rekruten, die für ihn unter dem nur wenig bedrohlichen Namen „Die Gesellschaft der Nadelstich-Enthusiasten“ kämpfen, werden zum Untergang der gegnerischen Fraktionen und verbreiten dabei Angst und Schrecken. Doch dieses Spiel kann nicht durch geradlinige Gefechte gewonnen werden. Der Trupp muss Bündnisse mit seiner eigenen Fraktion, den Richtern und selbst seinen Feinden schließen.

Manchmal kann das Leben grausam und unberechenbar sein. Mit nur einem Wimpernschlag kann es einem alles nehmen, was von Bedeutung ist. Verraten von der meistgeliebten Person droht der Rest des Lebens durch die im Eifer des Gefechts begangenen Handlungen aus den Fugen zu geraten. Doch Geschehenes lässt sich nicht ungeschehen machen, und nun vereitelt eine unbestechliche KI jegliche Versuche, die Wahrheit ans Licht zu bringen. Wirst du sie überzeugen können? Diese Gelegenheit bietet ein RPG-Spiel, das wie ein internationales Schiedsgericht funktioniert: eine unparteiische und unfehlbare Maschine

Echo has landed on his feet after finding himself in a mysterious other world with tens of thousands of gamers, and forms a close-knit unit of people like him. Echo's fighters quickly level up and get ahead of everyone else. But much remains unclear. Where is he, and what is this world? Who are the mysterious "arbiters" enforcing the rules of the game? What role does the local population play in all this? How deep can he delve into the underground realm full of unspeakable monsters? Complicating matters, the rules of the game suddenly start to change.

A strange, foreign world. Mysterious judges with capricious rules. Thousands of gamers find themselves split into factions and pitted against each other at the whim of an unknown higher power, with no idea how they got there or why they were chosen. Dying in this world hurts, but it's not the end: dead players always respawn to fight again.

Sometimes, life can be cruel and unpredictable, snatching away all you hold dear in an instant. You can't undo what's been done, and now an incorruptible AI keeps thwarting your attempts to find the truth. Will you be able to persuade it? This is the opportunity given by an RPG game that works like an international arbitration court—an impartial and error-free machine. For a top-ranked player who has already made millions in the game, this task sounds like child's play. But things aren't as simple as they seem, and this game is totally unlike any other!

Toby Longworth reads this original adventure for the Thirteenth Doctor and Graham, as played on TV by Jodie Whittaker and Bradley Walsh. It's 1970, and record-breaking explorer Silvia Sandstrom has completed an epic lone drive to the North Pole. But as she activates her on-board experimental equipment, her vehicle is swallowed by a massive hole in the ice. Meanwhile the TARDIS is drawn to an arid wasteland, also apparently at the North Pole. There the Doctor and Graham meet Silvia - but it's clear that she is a woman out of her own time.
