FOLKS IN MY CAMPAIGN DO NOT READ THIS UNTIL AFTER AUGUST 4. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! SPOILERS ALSO FOR SECRETS OF SCARAVORE.
So my game is transitioning from The Northern Knights (in All of Time and Space Vol. 1) to Secrets of Scaravore. The last scenario ended with me dropping hints about something ancient and powerful hidden beneath the SE British Isles. Upon returning to the TARDIS, our Time Lord tried to reach out to it with the TARDIS and I ended on the cliffhanger of the TARDIS console slowly turning red as Scaravore's mind takes it over. Here's my plan for next session:
The consciousness will pilot the TARDIS to June 21, 2024 in London. Scaravore's subconscious wants to use the TARDIS to help break out of its prison. There's a bit of a ticking clock scenario here. The PCs will have to figure out how to distract Scaravore's mind long enough to reassert control and get away. The PCs will get hints throughout that there's a big Taylor Swift show at Wembley Stadium that night. Different hints and deductions will lead them to realize Scaravore can only perceive the world through the psychic energy of human beings. And so...perhaps a bunch of human minds in synchronization would be the distraction they need. They will (hopefully) realize the Taylor Swift show is just such a distraction. Perhaps they will meet Taylor and convince her or perhaps they will use some jiggery pokery to build a gadget that amplifies psychic energy and plant it near her. Either way the climactic moment will be that night during Taylor's biggest song, Love Story.
If things go according to plan, they will escape and the ground will quake with Scaravore's anger. A few days later, the BBC will read:
Quake it off: Which Swift song moved Wembley most?

Taylor Swift's hit Love Story shook the ground more than any other tune during her first three nights at Wembley, followed closely by Shake it Off, according to seismologists who set up monitors at the stadium.
Love Story on the opening Friday 21 June concert produced the strongest ground shaking - around the equivalent to a harmless earthquake of magnitude 0.8.
Reaction to Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce’s surprise appearance on stage on the Sunday also registered strongly on the seismometers.
