An adventure for a group such as the Misfit Mob or the modern day incarnation of PROBE.
After a particularly dull few days, your group of PCs are shocked to discover that one of their old and recently deceased enemies has suddenly sprung back to life while lying in the morgue.
But it’s not just that. As they will quickly discover all across the world in all walks of life, the deceased are rising from the dead. Not as members of the undead per se but exactly how they were in life.
There is seemingly no pattern to these miracles and your PCs and the wider world are stumped as to who is responsible.
Personally, I rather like the idea that some entity or alien race is trying to resurrect one particular person but is having trouble either finding them or identifying them.

This is an interesting idea for sure. Perhaps it is someone messing with some Time Lord technology somehow acquired, causing people's deaths to literally be reverse, so it would seem like resurrection but it's actually their death being reverse, causing them to be alive again. Then there is the ethics of whether or not you should reverse this process to make them die again like how they should be, or even try and maintain the Time Lord technology to allow for them to continue living.

Interesting idea. Maybe the Time Lord technology is sending out a pulse across the world which is causing these random resurrections? Whoever is messing with said technology has yet to find a means to isolate it to one specific cadaver. |

Perhaps who ever had this Time Lord Tech intended to utilise it to say resurrect someone important to them such as a spouse or a family member or even a friend, but the technology got out of hand and now is causing the dead to come back to life because of their death being reversed. |

Wouldn’t surprise me if it was something as supposedly banal as trying to bring a beloved family pet back to life. And when they can’t get the technology working like they need it to, they try to make it go into overdrive. Sending out pulse after pulse which begins resurrecting people across the world en masse. Even once the PCs shut it down, there lies the question of what is to be done with the technology? I could see UNIT trying to requisition it and filing it in their deepest and darkest Black Archive. |

Oh yeah, I can agree with you there with it being stored within the Black Archive due its powers. Or even UNIT giving it to The Doctor whenever he arrives since technically it is Time Lord technology. |

Of course, depending on who is in charge of UNIT at the time they might not want the Doctor to know they possess such technology.... |

But the Death Reversal Tech is a unique and powerful piece of technology though, giving that impression of someone being resurrected from the dead. If it is in the hands of UNIT though I can see them using it to revive only the most important folks like even Kate herself. |

But I was more thinking about the more militaristic UNIT of the ‘90s that was established in certain material from the Expanded Universe. With the dawn of a new century and new alien threats seemingly cropping up all the time, they’d definitely take anything that would give them the advantage. |

Hell even during the Brigadier times UNIT may still keep it for themselves, hiding it from the 3rd Doctor. |
