Plot
2026. Hex is brought home after being shot, but St Gart's Hospital and the rest of London have been evacuated due to a disfiguring alien contagion. Working to restore normality is the public face of extraterrestrial incidents, The Forge. At its head, Nimrod, now knighted and going by his birth name. He has been waiting for the Doctor to return ever since the destruction of the original Forge headquarters, but now they have to join forces. The Doctor must save Hex's life and find a cure to rescue humanity while navigating through painful revelations and bitter revenge.

Continuity

- Cassie, another character introduced in Twilight, was Hex's mother. She was murdered by Nimrod in Lazarus.
- The events of Destiny occur over a decade after Lazarus, but in the Seventh Doctor's personal time line, Lazarus hasn't happened yet.
- St Gart's was where Hex worked as a nurse, and where he first met the Doctor and Ace, in The Harvest.
- The TARDIS was rendered white during the previous story, The Angel of Scutari.
- Also at the end of that story, Hex was shot. Although he recovers early on in Project: Destiny, the wound haunts him again in Gods and Monsters.
- The events of this audio directly continue to the next, A Death in the Family.
- Captain Aristedes returns in the Companion Chronicles story Project: Nirvana and meets Ace and Hex again in Black and White.
