Okay, this is loosely based on idea a friend gave me after reading some posts on RPG.net. It sounded good and I decided to play with it a little.
At some point during the Time War, the Time Lords enact a plan to distribute cells of sleeper agents across time and space. They place groups of infants throughout human history. Pperhaps using actual infants (unlikely) or adult timelords that underwent a forced regeneration that was manipulated to produce infant forms. They underwent a process similar to the Chameleon arch before they were posted so they have a human physiology and no memories. When in place, they would grow up believe that they were human. At a specific point, when they had reached the right age, a signal would be sent out from the TARDIS that had delivered them, activating their Galifreyan physiology and TimeLord memories. They would then rendevous at the Tardis and perform their mission.
For one cell, something went wrong. This cell is put in place towards the tail-end of the 20th century. During the Master's attempt to overwrite the human race with his own genetic code, the process activated an emergency protocol in the Tardis causing it to prematurely send out the activation signal before the sleeper agents were ready. Their galifreyan phsyiology ressarted itself but something went wrong. The alien medical device inteferred with the process and prevented the memories of their mission from returning. Over the next few weeks and months, they feel a subliminal complusion to gather at the place where their Tardis was hidden.
That's the basic concept, a bunch of time lords who were effectively raised as human and still think of themselves as such, activated before they were ready (ranging in age from school kids to university graduates since the infants were "scattered" in time slightly giving a potential 15 year age gap between the youngest and oldest), and having access to a Tardis.
The bit I need help is the Sleeper's Mission. Why did the TimeLords enact this plan. Was it some sort of lifeboat policy to ensure that somehow they would survive as a race if Galifry was destroyed. Or are the Sleepers supposed to enact some sort of TimeLord final solution.
