Upon materialising in 1599, she was initially cautious about changing history, but quickly learned to embrace the Doctor's time travelling lifestyle, using her knowledge of Harry Potter books to help Shakespeare defeat the Carrionites (The Shakespeare Code.)</span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Doctor then took Martha to New, New York in the far future (Gridlock) before travelling back to old New York in the 1930s, a city she had always wanted to visit. She was identified as possessing superior intelligence by the Daleks, and was taken for their Final Experiment, before being rescued by the Doctor and Laszlo. (Daleks In Manhattan, Evolution Of The Daleks). </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Following the defeat of the Daleks, the Doctor took Martha home to 2008, just 12 hours after their departure the previous evening. </span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They attended the reception for Professor Lazurus' rejuvenation demonstration, where Martha introduced the Doctor to her family as one of her work colleagues and Martha's mother, Francine, became increasingly suspicious of her daughter's behaviour. (The Lazarus Experiment).</span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Doctor then invited Martha to join him as a proper companion, giving her a key to the TARDIS, and providing her mobile with Universal Roaming (42). </span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Together they embarked on a quest to find the legendary vessel The Inifinite (The Infinite Quest).</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1GVX8aAizYaeIfFuxW3nZu5y8-kT4uYbl4VS9jZkV6RLuqCm3uuF6zg6qMUIXUmVFPj_EFSmtBIJzKeDInI8ZcfSYZi4-ShrZsoXAmPqjfguxJOoRb2PBjktbxl5TG9I4i1f4sE_4zDM/s1600/maidmartha.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="382" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1GVX8aAizYaeIfFuxW3nZu5y8-kT4uYbl4VS9jZkV6RLuqCm3uuF6zg6qMUIXUmVFPj_EFSmtBIJzKeDInI8ZcfSYZi4-ShrZsoXAmPqjfguxJOoRb2PBjktbxl5TG9I4i1f4sE_4zDM/s640/maidmartha.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">When the Doctor made himself human, Martha was left responsible for the safety of his alter ego John Smith.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Smith found Martha employment alongside him at Farringham School For Boys, where she worked as a maid for several weeks, and befriended fellow staff member Jenny.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">During this time Martha, who was deeply in love with the Doctor, was forced to watch as he, as John Smith, fell in love with Joan Redfern. This left her upset and confused as to why he had chosen to fall in love with someone who wasn't her.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">She protected Smith from the attack by the Family Of Blood and ultimately had to persuade him and Joan that the Doctor should be brought back into existence meaning that John and Joan's life together must end.

(Utopia)</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eventually Martha, Captain Jack and the Doctor returned to Earth only four days after her first meeting with the Doctor. Martha's flat was destroyed by the Master, who then took her family prisoner in an attempt to lure the Doctor and his friends in to his trap. Having never engaged in any criminal activity, Martha became an unlikely fugitive as part of the Master's plans. She teleported aboard the Valiant with the Doctor and Jack, where they were taken prisoner. Escaping with Jack's Vortex Manipulator, Martha was then left on Earth to defeat the Master alone.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwGQlFfJj2CFI98z9qKOL5pqcoqCIsaaKcaK3tNT_1taXyBaUE6NsF4Bae5L45Q10ZDUXY-a69bv9H4-USyU-X3eC04iQisrFAvgwdnVPLLBUzyZ4ComC-zOe_jjlWpY00NrUKh_s1Ri8/s1600/martha2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwGQlFfJj2CFI98z9qKOL5pqcoqCIsaaKcaK3tNT_1taXyBaUE6NsF4Bae5L45Q10ZDUXY-a69bv9H4-USyU-X3eC04iQisrFAvgwdnVPLLBUzyZ4ComC-zOe_jjlWpY00NrUKh_s1Ri8/s640/martha2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><div style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unable to return to Britain for an entire year, Martha travelled the world, carrying out the Doctor's instructions. She sailed the Atlantic single-handed and walked across America, travelling from the ruins of New York, to the Fusion Mills of China, and across the Radiation Pits of Europe. She was said to be the only person who escaped Japan alive, and legends claimed that she had travelled the world in search of a weapon capable of killing the Master. In reality, she had been telling her tale of the Doctor to the world, and used her knowledge of Docherty's son to ensure she was on board the Valiant for the Doctor's victory.</span></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Following the Master's defeat, Martha Jones decided to stay on Earth to look after her family, and to seek out Thomas Milligan, who had sacrificed his life for Martha in the year that never was. She also reminded herself of the advice she had given to her friend Vicky, and took the opportunity to escape her unrequited love for the Doctor, her self confessed Heart's Desire. Parting on good terms Martha left her phone with the Doctor determined that she would see him again one day soon...
