Used as slave labor Off-world, escaped Replicants on Earth were hunted by Blade Runner units, tasked with killing them on sight. The rumors of bootleg Replicants appearing in the Far East has prompted the Tyrell Corporation to investigate, determined to protect its monopoly on synthetic humans.

The Doctor and his travelling companion Alice Obiefune never look for trouble… but somehow it always seems to find them. Most recently, they battled their way out of a reality created to entrap them, and even successfully raised the potentially-genocidal tree creature known as the Sapling into a fully-functional, non-murderous adult, through the power of their joint example. Now it’s time for a little jaunt through time, purely as tourists. Surely nothing can go wrong…
