Definitely and in the end it could be said that Brax altered her memories again, to say that she left The Doctor after The events of At Childhood's End Also Assassins suggests Brax did more than alter her memories. There, if I remember correctly, Narvin claims he’s unable to track down Ace or Brax in part because Brax has messed around with her timeline to cover his tracks, altering things as far back as her travels with the Doctor. So it could be Brax arranged the quantum anvil incident to un-do Ace’s time on Gallifrey, thus removing any links to his mission to the Obscura and his subsequent flight from the War. This, very much this. NARVIN: Braxiatel more than covered his tracks. He’s left multiple false trails, all leading precisely nowhere. I can’t even track Ace's history from her biodata anymore. The time trace is blurred and contradictory all the way back to her departure from the Doctor. ROMANA: Those are Brax's fingerprints alright. |

Anybody who has listened to Flying Henchman/Displaced, do you have any idea where it goes in chronological order. Finally looking to start a Hex listen through now that it is out.

Do we have any thoughts on where "The Grey Man of the Mountain" sits? I really have no idea, so I was just going to throw it after The Quantum Possibility Engine", since that seems to be the most recent Sylvester release that features Ace as a regular traveling companion (excluding Dark Universe because that's clearly much later in the timeline for her). Anybody who has listened to Flying Henchman/Displaced, do you have any idea where it goes in chronological order. Finally looking to start a Hex listen through now that it is out. [8 months later] Looks like Tim's got it slotted in like so: 115 "Forty-Five" 226 "Shadow Planet" / "World Apart" 245 "Muse of Fire" 270 "The Flying Dutchman" / "Displaced" 120 "The Magic Mousetrap" |

I imagine it’s either somewhere between Survival and Dust Breeding, or as you suggest between The Quantum Possibility Engine and Ace’s eventual departure. Perhaps it’s worth someone asking Lizbeth Myles on Twitter or something? |

I missed this but I couldn't resist a late 'like' for 'The Flying Henchman' - whether that was a pun or an auto-miscorrect, it's a great title!  I now want someone to write a comedy episode called exactly that. |

I was reading some of the DWM comics recently and found out some interesting stuff:
So basically Train Flight, Battlefield, Fellow Travellers and The Mark of Mandragora all occur over the span of a few weeks during which time the
Doctor is unable to take the TARDIS away from Earth.
Which means the timeline should go
Train-Flight
Doctor Conkerer!
Living in the Past (The Doctor picks up Ace from the Cretaceous)
Battlefield
Ghost Light
The Curse of Fenric
Survival
Teenage Kicks
Fellow Travellers
Distractions
The Mark of Mandragora
The rest of the DWM comics would follow from here, with the Doctor’s ability to travel off earth restored. So basically you can’t have any stories set away from Earth in Season 26 or between Train Flight and Mark of Mandragora.

Personally I put Teenage Kicks- The Mark of Mandragora between The Curse of Fenric and Survival. Mainly cos the Timewyrm saga is kinda meant to be soon after Survival (depending on how much you trust the Seventh Doctor’s restoring of Ace’s memory, I must admit to disliking the idea he deliberately messed with it), and the third book of that saga is set on an alien planet I understand so it can’t go before Mark. Also the Secondary Control Room is still onboard the TARDIS in Distractions and Mark (and I think it’s meant to be the same version as the one the Fourth Doctor originally used, since the Mandragora is still lingering about it) and the Doctor jettisons that in the first book of the Timewyrm saga. |

There’s unavoidably a big gap between Survival and Timewyrm either which way you look at it really, unless you put a huge gap between The Curse of Fenric and Survival, which doesn’t make sense either. Because The Algebra of Ice has an epilogue that’s set immediately after Timewyrm: Revelation, but also “longer than 20 months” after the main events of the book for the Doctor and Ace. The Doctor and Ace meet the Brigadier so it’s after Battlefield, there’s a reference to The Curse of Fenric, and they visit the House on Allen Road so it’s after Fellow Travellers. So basically if you keep the Timewyrm saga immediately after Survival, you’ve got to have a longer than two year gap between Fenric and Survival. It’s easier just to go with the longer gap after Survival and use the memory wipe to set Ace back to Survival. |
