Cleavant Derricks (Remmy in Sliders) Recalls His Sliding Days

Cleavant Derricks is probably still probably best known for playing Rembrandt Brown on the cult TV classic, “Sliders.”

We keep hoping for a reboot to happen someday.cleavant1web

“I had the best time doing it. There was not one day I didn’t enjoy working on that show,” Derricks said. “I know it started to fall on its wayside—new producers came in and new writers came in—but I loved doing it and it’s why I stayed till the very end. I loved the idea of multiple worlds and parallel Earths.”

 

Derricks is currently playing The Chimney Man in Signature Theatre’s staging of “Jelly’s Last Jam,” which runs through Sept. 11.

 

 

Remmy’s story continued in fanfics on this website, in Doctor Who and the X-Men Director’s Cut Part 1, and following that group of stories, in WhoSliders vol.1 .

Review Flashback: Sliders 2×02 “Love Gods”

While here in Malta we have been hearing a lot about Panama papers and even political “gods”, in this episode we see our heroes (except Wade Wells) being seen as sex “gods” ! This world’s men almost all died out to a viral infection leaving this world with a huge crisis of having many women but almost no surviving men at all.

WhoSliders #23 – ROSE’S SLIDERS: KEYQUEST 1 – HAZY SHADE OF WINTER

.. when they landed, they could see they were on Conaxia. The signs littered across the landscape said so, at least. ‘Conaxia, the land of plenty‘. Only it was quite barren and cold now.
“Hello, Rose Tyler!” Rose and the others heard this female voice quite clearly.
“Welcome to Conaxia! I am the White Guardian!”

This is the crossover fanfic in my fan-series featuring Rose from Doctor Who (the new BBC tv series) – and a new Sliders team.

Story (C) 2007-2015 Mr SciRev.

For the Dr Who Timeline Related to this Fanfic, or to read what happened just before this fanfic, please see WhoSliders 19. It occurs Post-Doomsday, probably contemporary to Smith and Jones.

What you need to know:
The Doctor is a Time Lord – a time-traveller from the alien world called Gallifrey [Universe-777, the Stargate Universe] who travels in space and time thanks to his TARDIS which looks like a police box, bigger inside than outside. When the Doctor is severely injured or even killed, he will regenerate into a new appearance and body. He is currently in his tenth incarnation (9th regeneration). He is the survivor of the Time War which saw his homeworld Gallifrey destroyed completely.

The Sliders (the original ones), after having managed to travel back to Earth-001, have kept experimenting with dimensional travel. Years have passed since the Sliders returned. They are no longer able to slide and have lost contact with the Doctor.”

For Stargate SG-1 this fanfic occurs just before the Season 4 episode “THE SERPENT’S VENOM”.

What you need to know:
The Doctor is a Time Lord – a time-traveller from the alien world called Gallifrey [Universe-777, the Stargate Universe] who travels in space and time thanks to his TARDIS which looks like a police box, bigger inside than outside. When the Doctor is severely injured or even killed, he will regenerate into a new appearance and body. He is currently in his fifth incarnation (4th regeneration). His thirteenth will be the last.

The Sliders have developed a technique called Sliding which allows them to go to different dimensions or parallel universes, but will they ever find the way to their home universe [Universe-001, Earth-001]? Actually Maggie and Diana come from Earth-022 and Earth-920 respectively and Maggie cannot breathe the air of Earth-001 so how will she survive if they eventually get there?

The Doctor with his companions – currently Major Samantha Carter of Stargate SG-1 from the US military of Earth-777, and the Sliders – is on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless and the powerless throughout the whole multiverse of multiple universes. The Doctor’s alteration to the Sliders’ timeline has resulted in multiple changes across various multiverse timelines in hypertime. Fixing these holes is an important task of the Doctor which has been sanctioned by an angel of God called the White Guardian. The Doctor has left behind his TARDIS in Earth-811. Remmy decided to stay behind on Earth-820 while the Doctor has gone to the future and slid together with Samantha Carter and the Sliders – Quinn, Wade, Professor Arturo and Diana.
Meanwhile Tegan, Adric, and Nyssa are still at Cheyenne Mountain. Gabriel Law and Maggie are new members of Stargate SG-1 who are currently investigating the sliding machine from planet PX8-999.”

Earth-820, in the year 2582

The room was all white for some time, then the whiteness began to clear.

The Doctor could see various forms around them. Sam had never seen anything similar at this point in time. Diana and Arturo were left speechless. Wade felt a fear in her stomach which she had not felt since the first time they had met the Kromaggs.

Everything in the room had to do with the Daleks. Pictures of Daleks. Dalek Posters. Dalek Statues.

“Do you know what happened here?” Wade asked the Doctor.
“The Daleks have taken over this earth. Or more precisely the Dalek Dominion. The name is written in a number of these posters.”
“What’s happened to humanity?” Arturo asked.
“Most likely it has been completely wiped out.” Quinn said.
“Oh no, Remmy! We left him centuries ago, what if the Daleks invade way back when we left him?” Wade cried.
“The Dominion Dalek invasion, if it happened at a similar time as the normal Dalek invasion did in my universe, most likely it occurred a couple of centuries later. Remmy is safe for the time being. On the other hand, we are in danger.”
“Doctor, do you think these Daleks have access to sliding technology which we could use?” Arturo asked.
“I cannot tell. In universe-777 they did not have it.
If they don’t have it, we are all marooned here.
If they have it, they may well invade the whole multiverse – all the realities will be in danger” the Doctor sadly replied. “Sam, please help me calibrate this instrument. It can detect fine wormhole particles. It is no guarantee but it might indicate sliding or some stargate technology in use.”


PX8-999 (Universe-777) in the 21st century
Daniel, Jack, Maggie, Gabriel and Teal’c went back to the planet via Stargate. It was here where they had found an Ancient sliding device.

Daniel finally decoded the writing and understood how to use it. The device was small enough to be held in one’s hands. You had to touch a control and it would show the other parallel universe on a holographic screen. Then you could choose whether to slide there or not.

Daniel tried it but it did not work. Jack touched it and it suddenly activated by emitting some sounds similar to that of a xylophone. They did not understand why.

Once they were satisfied, they decided to bring it back to earth for further experimentation – in the hope that they would find the Sliders, even though there was a risk of finding a parallel earth’s version of them by mistake.

“This world is a paradise, really!” Jack exclaimed, pointing out the lush vegetation which surrounded them. It was the Amazon once again, but on an alien planet.

While it seemed that the planet was uninhabited as so far they had not met any living being, soon SG-1 began to hear some rustling sounds from the nearby bushes. It was clear that they were not alone.

Some natives came out, and Jack introduced himself. “Hi my name’s Jack. I’m a friend. You are?’
‘Larrisa is my name. How come you are-with-voice?’. It was a woman native who spoke to them.
‘Excuse me. Why, are your men mute?’ Jack replied bluntly.
‘All men are mute. You must not be a man then.’
‘I am a man. You haven’t met everyone. We are from far away. Very far away. Have you heard of the Stargate, the Chappa’ai?’ Jack was getting a bit nervous with this woman, who seemed very odd.
At the same time, both Sam and Daniel were thinking why would the native men be mute. Was it a genetic defect?
‘Chappa’ai? Our ancestors were brought here through it by the Rulers a long time ago. We do not know anything more about it.’ Larrisa replied to Jack
Maggie noticed that the men had snake motifs on their arms. ‘Do they do tattoos here? I’d like to get one’ she told the others.
‘Foolish woman Maggie’, Larrisa said, out loud. ‘thinks of herself first.’
‘How did you know my name?’ Maggie did not like this. ‘Are you telepathic?’
‘Indeed I am. As all my tribesmen and tribeswomen are.’
Daniel now explained to the others: ‘The snake motif – well it means that the Rulers were the Goa’uld. It is clear that this world was for a long time under the control of the Goa’uld. Indeed the natives had been brought here  from Africa or some other tribal region of Earth. This world possesses an abundant source of radioactive rocks which have bombarded this world as a result of the destruction of some planet. So the rocks had various effects on the settlers. The men went mute while all the natives gained an increased level of telepathic communication, more than normal anyway.”
Teal’c raised his eyebrows, it was difficult to tell whether this was disagreement or not.


Earth-820, in the year 2582
The Doctor’s instrument scanned the nearby areas for any wormhole particles.

They heard some sounds, Dalek-like sounds. “Hurry up”, Arturo told the Doctor. “Well do something rather than just complain!” the Doctor replied. “Yes! I have it!”
“It is less than a kilometre away from this room. It might be a centre of operations. It’s in this very building!”
Suddenly the door opened and a group of Dominion Daleks entered. “Intruders – humans – you – will – be – EXTERMINATED!”
“Oh no” Wade said.  She thought of Remmy. Was that his final fate, all alone, EXTERMINATED?


PX8-999 (Universe-777) in the 21st century
Daniel was very much interested in the community structure of the natives. How they lived, what they ate. It seemed that they avoid grains, sugars and starchy fruits, and were healthier as a result. Jack wanted to see whether there were any weapons left behind by the Ancients who must have colonised this planet before abandoning it, and before the Goa’uld dropped the natives here.
Daniel began to ask himself (and the rest of SG-1 too) – so had the Ancients – some of the Ancients at least – met the natives? Was there any crossover? Could the natives have learnt some of the Ancients’ culture?
They wondered. Jack asked whether they could take the Ancients sliding device with them. The leader of the natives, an elder woman named Charissa, said this would not be possible. “Is there no chance at all?” “No chance”
So they would not be able to do anything. Unlike the NID, which had rogue agents stealing alien technology, the SGC (Stargate Command) would never approve of theft. So their mission had been a failure.
Suddenly they heard a wooshing sound! It was the Stargate. It had just been activated and Jaffa troups were storming in.
PX8-999 was under attack by Kali, a System Lord of the Goa’uld, known as “Kali the destroyer”.

Jack said “We will try to defend you.”
Daniel added “These people are the Goa’uld, they are evil”.
Charissa said “No, they are the Rulers. We must welcome them back!”
Jack thought about Sam at this moment, wondering whether she was still alive at all, with the Sliders and the Doctor. But his mind returned to the present situation. “Your Rulers are pure evil, Madam.”
“Be silent, offworlder. Your tongue betrays you and your kind as betrayers. Capture them before they cause trouble!”
“Hey, Jack, I think that was not a nice thing to say..” Daniel said, worried.
A number of what looked like drone natives pointed various spears and other primitive weapons towards SG-1. They began to point them towards a fenced area. It looked like they were going to lock them there. Meanwhile Gabriel was getting a bit angry. He hit one of the natives, broke some of their spears and hardly felt it when they started shooting the spears at him. His strength was remarkable and his speed was beyond that of normal men. The natives began to worry about this. Charissa quickly told the natives to let them go, they would tell the Rulers about them and the Rulers would deal with the intruders themselves.


Earth-820, in the year 2582
EXTERMINATE-Wait-Who are you. How-come-you-are-still-alive. Humans-had-been-eradicated.” the Dominion Dalek with the highest ranking said, rather coldly.
Sam still had her P90 and she quickly took aim and fired it towards the Dominion Daleks, barely scraping them.
“That won’t do much damage! Try your Zat!” the Doctor shouted.
Sam took her Zat and fired it against all the Daleks in the room. Streaks of blue electricity flew away from them, criss-crossing the air. They shorted out, and died completely. Their cries – their shrieks could be heard. Sam felt a bit bad.
“Don’t feel bad about them. They are mass murderers and were going to kill us all. You’ve killed System Lords before.” the Doctor remarked.
“Goa’uld don’t cry when you kill them usually.”
“Enough philosophical discussions. We must leave now. They will probably be alerted to our presence when this lot fails to report.” Professor Arturo said. He looked towards an exit which lead to a long corridor.
They left, no daleks seemed to be around, so they hurried on. They were careful to see if anything or anyone was around, until they got to the room the Doctor had pinpointed with his instrument earlier on.
They opened the room and found it full of sliding devices. Who had created them? This question came to their mind. Was it the Ancients? A parallel version of Quinn? The Dominion Daleks themselves? The area close to the room and the room itself had seemed quite abandoned, so perhaps the Daleks had no idea what it was for and the previous owners had used it.

Then Quinn noticed some familiar things! This was stuff which he kept in his very own basement! So Quinn thought that his alternate on this world must have slid from this laboratory, and the Daleks eventually took over this building but not realising what Quinn had done.

The Doctor quickly corrected him. This earth’s alternate Quinn was no slider. He was an actor! So whoever had managed to slide, had actually seen the classic tv show WHOSLIDERS! He was a fan who had made the dream a reality on this world.

But who was he? Wade was thinking, could it be Remmy perhaps?

“There’s no time for curiosity. We must see if there is a device which can pinpoint my TARDIS or Earth-777” the Doctor locked the door so the Daleks would not enter it quickly. Soon they could be heard outside, trying to break into the room.
The Doctor found a locator device, and said ‘indeed this will be useful. We cannot pinpoint my TARDIS as it is in the past’. So he set it to Earth-777 and they slid, using a device in the room calibrated by the locator which created a wormhole, and they jumped through it like they do every time they slide.

When they landed, Quinn said “That device could help us get home eventually” Quinn pointed out. “Yes it could. Remember we still have to find our way to the present day. Also I need to get my TARDIS back first and if the White Guardian wants you to keep sliding, it’s important that you keep sliding. Though of course the final decision rests with you.”
Wade said “we’d better see where we are. We’re still in the future.”
The Doctor said the year is 2582. Good, There is someone whom we should meet now at Cheyenne Mountain.”


PX8-999 (Universe-777) in the 21st century
SG-1 had been captured by the Jaffa. Well, they surrendered because Jack thought what did they want with this little world. ‘Tau’ri, you have met the Kinda, I see!’ Kali the Goa’uld System Lord said. “But you will not get the technology they have.”
Jack began to understand. The devices left over by the Ancients on this world were now in the hands of the custodians, the Kinda. They probably did not know much about them. But the Goa’uld would now take over, and God knows what they might do with the technology. Not just that but this world was mentioned by the Doctor a while ago. He had called it Deva Loka, like it was the Land of Oz! This was bad. Real bad.


Earth-820, in the year 2582
Where-did-they-go?‘ the chief Dominion Dalek, which was coloured in gold, asked. The other Daleks processed the information which was available and came to the conclusion: ‘They-have-escaped-somewhere. Using-dimensional-portal-device-here.
Locator-device-missing. Thus-they-took-it
The chief Dalek called their creator informing him about the escape. Their creator was an ugly deformed man with a microchip in the form of an eye on his head. His name was once Adam, he had travelled with that alien called the Doctor many years ago. But he had forgotten all that himself and even his name. He called himself DaVrus now. Earlier he had contemplated taking the name Davros but he preferred the name Dav-Rose. Because once it meant Adam-Rose. Then as the centuries rolled by it degenerated to DamRose, and then Dav-Rose, until it became just DaVrus. Davrus gave his commands to the chief Dalek: ‘Just EXTERMINATE them. You must follow them and jump to the other dimension.
It-may-not-be-safe-or-we-may-not-return-because-we-do-not-know-which-dimension-they-went-to‘ another Dalek said.
Dominion-Daleks-may-not-be-cowards. EXTERMINATE coward-dominion-dalek!‘ the chief Dalek replied and the other Daleks promptly vapourised the coward Dalek.
Survival of the fittest. The other Daleks restarted the dimensional sliding portal and opened a wormhole, sliding to another dimension, chosen randomly, another parallel earth, hoping that it would be the one with the Doctor and the WhoSliders.


Earth-778, in the year 2582
The three Dominion Daleks searched the area where they had landed. It was a barren landscape. This earth had been defeated by aliens a long time ago – in the year 2014 – and everyone had been killed except for one survivor, Max Evans who had made his way into the past to try and change it, succeeding in diverging this world’s timeline to Earth-777, in the year 2000.
They tracked down a place where wormhole technology existed and found it. The location was Roswell, New Mexico. A granolith device had been used to time travel back into the past, but not recently. Still it was the only trace they found, and thus they had to follow it.
Soon, they had found the granolith and entered it. They activated the device, figured out how to use the rods, inserted one into the device’s base and it began to glow in red colours. Lights began to move around at the top and soon they simply disappeared into the past. Soon they would reappear in Roswell, Earth-777, in the early 21st century.


Skaro-777, 21st century
Red-Dalek, from the Doctor’s universe had been working on the Chappa’ai for ages now. But time did not count for Daleks. They could wait.
They had finally succeeded in learning how to operate it. All they needed now was addresses of other worlds, and they could now invade them via the Stargate. Otherwise they just entered random addresses, hoping to find useful inhabited worlds to invade and conquer completely.

AUTHOR NOTES:

The planet Daniel mentions is Krypton! So the radioactive rocks are Kryptonite…
The reference to Max Evans is to the Roswell episode ‘THE END OF THE WORLD’. He had become a Slider back in WHOSLIDERS 5.
PX8-999 is the planet Deva Loka, first seen in the classic Doctor Who episode ‘KINDA’ and in my fanfic WHOSLIDERS 4.
The Daleks on Skaro in Universe-777 are not the same Dominion Daleks from Earth-820. They are the classic Daleks the Doctor usually faces in his universe (777).
Davrus is unoriginally based on the many Internet theories about Adam becoming Davros (Doctor Who 2005 series season 1). So in Earth-820 he actually becomes Davros or Davrus anyway.

(Back in the SOL)

Tom: [singing] Ain’t gonna sit through this again.

After a brief jaunt to the future timeline (Earth-9910) Bishop wanted to visit, the TARDIS rematerialised in the X-Men’s grounds, and the Doctor went out to give his goodbyes. Bishop had come back with the Doctor, this was his home now.

Having no more reason to stay on within the X-Men’s universe, the Doctor was preparing to enter the TARDIS again, together with Hindle and his companions, who were on the X-Men’s Mansion grounds, playing a little baseball game with the X-Men. The game had stopped as soon as the TARDIS had materialised.

The Doctor told the X-Men that now they were prepared for whenever they might meet the Adversary and the Mara. He hoped to be back there when this would happen someday.

Crow: Oh, for a landmine.

An angry man entered the room in the TARDIS where the X-Men, the Sliders, Hindle, the Doctor and his companions were. “Another parallel version of myself”, he said looking at
Hindle. He was wearing military garb, his hand crouched behind him holding some deadly gun.

(Back in the SOL)
Tom: Who’s this guy now?
Mike: How should I know?

“Hindle!” Adric shouted.
There were two Hindles in the room. The one who just came in had a military beret, but one with some unrecognisable insignia. The new Hindle looked at the Professor – “You! But you were dead.”
“It seems you have mistaken me for somebody else.” Arturo looked untrustingly at the Hindle lookalike. “No, no, I’m Colonel Rickman and I killed you, Arturo a few hours ago! You can’t be alive!” Rickman said.
