Historical Record
Late 2022 brings a barrage of targeted strikes on institutions that hold knowledge: museums, research trains, and medical facilities. London and international partners activate joint tasking as art, energy, and health systems each become pressure points. The Doctor coordinates a defence that pairs expertise with empathy, recruiting specialists whose lives rarely overlap but whose contributions prove decisive.
Historically, the event demonstrates resilience through networks rather than lone heroics. It affirms that care—toward colleagues, toward strangers, toward the planet itself—is a force multiplier. The public sees headlines about interrupted exhibitions and disrupted services; the files record a near‑run thing turned into a collective win.
