 Trencher, Ann and K9
 manage to make it to the armoury.
+The Doctor,
+suspecting something, finds and shows them a video of Vanessa,
+unconscious, opening the enclosure and letting the Drsahigs out. He
+explains that the connection is two-way and the Drashigs have been
+using Vanessa for their own means.
+Trencher and Ann
+prepare weapons to fight the Drashigs.
+The Doctor pulls
+Lord Braye aside and out of ear-shot from Vanessa and tells Braye
+that he is giving him a job and entrusting the lives of everyone to
+him. He is to deliver a message.
+Trencher and Ann get
+ready to fight as the Drashigs are drawing nearer to their location.
+The Doctor regrets
+fusing the door controls while Vanessa, in a fit of pain, senses the
+Drashigs, preparing to attack the armoury. The Doctor says they must
+hurry.
+Trencher explains
+that only one Drashig will hunt, and they need to carefully aim their
+grenade. After a moment of silence, the Drashig bursts forth.
+Vanessa senses one
+of the Drashigs has been killed.
+Trencher and Ann are
+successful and have managed to kill the alpha but Trencher
+sympathizes with the creature in death, saying it didn’t choose to
+be the way it is. They hear the cries of the other Drashigs mourning
+their dead leader. K9 reveals that the emerald Drashigs are
+retreating.
+Back in Vanessa’s
+lab, the Doctor finds the neuro-headpiece she was using to inter-face
+with the Drashigs. He explains there’s a central power generator
+that he needs to re-route the power from, temporarily disabling the
+entire park’s systems.
+K9 detects something
+else approaching them. They then hear a knock. It is Lord Braye. He
+says the Doctor sent him with a message for them.
+Vanessa and the
+Doctor prepare to re-route power, despite it meaning the end of
+Drashigworld. Suddenly Vanessa, again in pain, reveals the Drashigs
+are coming for them.
+Trencher and the
+others head round the back but stop when they hear the Drashigs. She
+tells them not to move. The Drashigs pass them and Trencher reveals
+that they weren’t displaying hunting behaviour and were intent on
+going somewhere else.
+Vanessa reveals they
+have 60 seconds before the power will be re-routed. The Doctor tells
+her to stall the Drashig by communicating with them mentally. She
+tells the Drashigs that no one has to die. Sympathizing that they
+have lost their alpha, she says she can be their new alpha. They
+refuse unless she kills for them. The Doctor tries to remind her of
+her humanity. She is almost successful but is rejected at the last
+moment. Manual over-ride is accessed but at the cost of Vanessa’s
+life.
+Trencher, Ann and K9
+continue on their way when the power goes off. They reassemble as a
+line, all holding each other’s shoulders and Ann holds K9’s tail
+as he guides them to the exit.
+The Doctor quickly
+mourns Vanessa, then puts on neuro-headpiece and uses the power to
+connect with the Drashigs across the whole park. The Doctor is almost
+over-powered by the Drashig’s killing instincts but manages to
+broadcast a new signal over the entire park.
+The four manage to
+make it out of the tunnels but notice that the wetland’s Drashigs
+have escaped. They note it is acting strange but then the Doctor
+arrives and explains that the thoughts that tormented Vanessa have
+now been put into the heads of every Drashig in the park, causing
+them to break down.
+They make their way
+back to the TARDIS and Ann asks the Doctor if they can take the
+others with them, to which, despite being tempted to leave Lord
+Braye, he affirms that they will. Trencher is not sure what to do
+with herself now that she cannot work at the park anymore but the
+Doctor assures her that it’s a big cosmos and she has lots of
+choices. They see the Drashigs acting even more bizarrely and the
+Doctor explains they are being attracted to Vanessa’s equipment
+which is broadcasting a signal causing them to seek out the source.
+He also explains that they will continue to do so until the equipment
+burns itself off but by that time they will be safely off the planet.
+When asked what will happen now, the Doctor says the Drashigs can now
+properly inhabit the planet and it will truly be called
+“Drashigworld” now.
