What's to know?
The Doctor is a hero, bouncing around time and space in the TARDIS, Nyssa is a vaguely telepathic, sympathetic bio-chemist from the destroyed technological paradise of Trakan, and they have adventures.

Continuity really isn't an issue, and the characters are defined more by the supporting mythos than the actual characters.

500 word and a breakdown? Hmm... I missed that part. I'll mull it over.

I'm sure that it's what it said in the pdf.
