She's the head of the Shadow Proclamation in the Doctor Who episode "The Stolen Earth." She wanted to take the fight to several billion Daleks. The Doctor skipped out on her before she could do such a monumentally stupid thing.

Okay, I'm going to explain why I left out certain characters:

Monk & Ham: The banter alone would have increased the story length by at least a third. Add to that the fact that most of the later Doc Savage stories was just Doc, Monk & Ham, and I felt that the duo was overused.

Patricia Savage: Sorry, I just never really cared for her. She could act pretty darn annoying, even though she was just trying to prove her worth.

A conversation that didn't make it to production would have been Keriyn and Pat talking about equality. Keri would have told Pat that, yes, there is equality in the future. Women could now serve on the front lines and die alongside men without fear of being discriminated against.

This would have given Pat pause. For length and coherency, I didn't include this segment or Pat in the working draft.

And guys? As cool as it might be to have Doc Savage sticking around in UF, he's just visiting unless Ben says otherwise.
