The Prisoner's Dilemma was the eighth story of the third series in The Companion Chronicles audio range. It was produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Simon Guerrier and featured Ace.
It was set directly during the Key-2-Time arc in the Main Range featuring the Fifth Doctor and Amy. It's also the first story in the Companion Chronicles range to feature the Seventh Doctor.
Publisher's summary
Two prisoners meet in a prison cell. Zara is searching for the segments of the Key to Time; she was only born yesterday but already she's killed hundreds of people. Ace is more ambitious: she was going to kill everyone on the planet.
What have they got against the people of Erratoon? They go peaceably about their simple assignments, beneath their artificial sky. They share their meals and leisure time and they never ask questions. Are they even real?
Ace and Zara will only survive if they can trust each other. Or perhaps if they sell each other out... If not their awful punishment is to become just like everyone else.
Plot

References
- Zara refers to the Grace, the Tracers, the Key to Time, the White Guardian and the Black Guardian.
- Ace mentions Florana, the Eye of Orion and being quite an expert on making explosions.
- Harmonious 14 Zink uses a Time Ring.
- Zink was married to 1V Magda.
Notes
- Unlike most other Big Finish Productions audios, this story is set during the Virgin New Adventures era. Bernice Summerfield is mentioned but not named. One other Companion Chronicle, Bernice Summerfield and the Criminal Code, is set during that era, although Ace is absent from that story.
- This story is narratively linked to the audio story The Judgement of Isskar, which was likewise released in January 2009.

- Ace uses logic to confuse the Robot Constables. (TV: The Curse of Fenric)
