HMMM I was trying to ponder a way for the two to become combined possibly, but with the worst of the attacks coming more towards the end of the month after the Aurora, thinking that won't work as smoothly, unless you aren't necessarily opposed to a time skip within a log? Maybe they first meet over the Aurora and since the Doctor would want to help and lend support to her if he could, but will also equally struggle to open up in the reverse, it could be on the shorter side of things depending how the convo goes, and if we wanted to, they bump into each other again later in the intense fray? If that is too convoluted, I'm totally good just sticking with a more straightforward either/or option and just seeing how things play out organically!
