Naomi Cross was a companion of the Fourth and Seventh Doctors.

A member of UNIT, Naomi travelled in the Doctor's TARDIS alongside Harry Sullivan before the two were left behind in the 2010s. She and Harry joined UNIT under Kate Stewart and fought against threats such as the Vulpreen, eventually leaving to travel with the Seventh Doctor.

Biography[]

Early life[]

Naomi's parents met at some point after the early 1940s. (AUDIO: Operation Dusk) She had a cousin who died two years before she began travelling with the Fourth Doctor. (AUDIO: Scream of the Daleks)

Travels with the Fourth Doctor[]

She first met the Fourth Doctor and Harry Sullivan in Calcutta during an encounter with the Sea Devils. (AUDIO: Storm of the Sea Devils)

Naomi and Harry travelled with the Doctor until an adventure in which they fought the Dominators and their Quarks. A great number of people died and, afterwards, the Doctor returned the two of them to Earth. Unbeknownst to him, he left them in the 2010s instead of the 1980s. (AUDIO: London Orbital)

The Vulpreen invasion[]

Naomi and Harry joined UNIT under Kate Stewart and went to assist UNIT Australia. They became aware that Ros Green was in possession of an Ice Warrior, Abiathar, and, whilst investigating, were chased by Jakernia. They eventually regrouped with Kate and Petronella Osgood and helped release Abiathar into space to explode without causing any harm to Earth, after which they returned to the United Kingdom. (AUDIO: Fire and Ice)

Whilst watching the news for clues on the Eleven's plans, Naomi recognised Director Prast as a Dominator and informed Kate. She and Osgood observed Portstone New Town with an omniscope and glided in with Junaid Mirza, discovering that it was actually a construction site making use of slaves. Naomi and Junaid evacuated the slaves after Prast set the nuclear reactor to go into meltdown. (AUDIO: Power of the Dominators)

After the destruction of the Starseeker, Kate asked that Naomi collect her from the UNIT safe house in Tromsø. (AUDIO: The Vulpreen Encounter)

Naomi lost contact with Kate but managed to track her down and rescued her, Osgood and Jimmy Tan in a helicopter. She headed to Alberta with Osgood, meeting Yang Li there, and was caught in a temporal snare until Osgood was able to free her with a chrono-gauge. Afterwards, Axons emerged through a Vulpreen Arch. (AUDIO: By Jacqui McGee)

Given that Axos had previously been defeated by the Third Doctor, Naomi went to Lake Claire to employ the Eleven's help. She put him in Faraday cuffs and took him through an arch to Axos where he proved a crucial part of Kate's plan to escape. (AUDIO: Axos Unleashed)

Kate sent Naomi to meet with Harry at Wimbledon Common to observe a Vulpreen Arch. She reported back to Kate when the arch's time field began to expand and freeze everything inside of it. (AUDIO: Time of the Vulpreen)

Naomi infiltrated a Vulpreen base with Harry, Kate and Bert Hockley to plant a bomb to destroy the Super Arches. She and Harry met up with Osgood and freed the Vulpreen's prisoners, including Jimmy and Josh Carter, before saving Kate from frozen time Varliss had used to contain her. Osgood then froze the two of them to protect them from the bomb's blast. (AUDIO: One Way or Another)

Missy held Naomi and Harry captive to blackmail Kate and Josh, but they were eventually saved by Osgood and Hugo de Costa. Following the defeat of Missy and Varliss, Naomi and Harry returned to UNIT. (AUDIO: True Nemesis)

Travels with the Seventh Doctor[]

This section's awfully stubby.

Info from Naomi's Ark needs to be added

Naomi joined Harry in investigating the Álfar at Clerkenwell tube station and called the police when she saw Keryth chasing the foreman. They were reunited with the Doctor, now in his seventh incarnation, and were arrested for wasting police time when Keryth did not show up on the CCTV. Sarya released them and took them to Agrandir, who asked them not to interfere in the conflict between the Ljósálfar and the Dökkálfar. After the conflict was resolved, Naomi and Harry joined the Doctor in the TARDIS to return home. (AUDIO: London Orbital)

The Doctor decided to take Naomi and Harry to Aquilina, but the TARDIS picked up the sound of screams in 1969 Chester. Naomi and the Doctor travelled throughout time to find the cause of the disappearances and unexplained deaths which occurred in the area on Halloween and learnt that it involved the Daleks. They had to return to 1969 through a crack in time due to the Daleks' temporal distortion and, after reuniting with Harry, the Daleks were defeated. (AUDIO: Scream of the Daleks)

By the time Winston Churchill called in the Doctor to investigate the death of Harriet Thompson, Naomi was unsure about whether she wanted to return to the 20th or 21st century. She, the Doctor and Harry helped Sebastian Hardcastle look into Marion Hardcastle and Georgina Stevens only to learn that he was a member of the Forge who had used an Oblivion Key to control the Vashta Nerada and murder Thompson to keep his allegiance to the Nazis a secret. Naomi planned to speak with Harry about which century they wanted to be returned to after they found a new home for Georgina following the destruction of Gorthia. (AUDIO: Operation Dusk)
