Flemming

Flemming works aboard the Starship Harmony and Redemption. Minimum ticket price, one billion credits, plus the provable murder of multiple innocent life-forms. The suites are reserved for planet-burners. Even the staff need to have a verifiable history of indiscriminate slaughter. Slick, sly and witty, Flemming ensures that everything aboard the starliner runs smoothly. Or as smoothly as possible aboard a starship filled with criminals and thugs.

Flemming helps River to deadlock seal the baggage hold containing the TARDIS (and the body of Hydroflax), leaving her and the Doctor free to visit the restaurant and sell the Halassi Androvar lodged in Hydroflax’s brain. Unfortunately using Ramone’s head, Hydroflax’s body is able to trick Flemming into opening the hold and faced with the prospect of losing his own head, Flemming makes a bargain with the body of the king. If the cyborg spares his life, Flemming will tell him all he knows about the real husband of River Song and help him to track the head of the Time Lord known as the Doctor!

Having betrayed River, Flemming leads Hydroflax’s body to her and steals her diary hoping to use it to his advantage. However, River hasn’t chosen this starship on this particular date for nothing, and has timed her arrival perfectly so that when a meteor strike hits, only she and the Doctor can make their escape! As a time-travelling archaeologist, River says goodbye to Flemming by explaining that she looks forward to digging him up in the future… or her past!
