 On the [[Crucible of Souls]], [[Padrac]] ejects [[escape shuttle (Ship in a Bottle)|an escape shuttle]] with [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]], [[Liv Chenka|Liv]] and [[Helen Sinclair|Helen]] inside and is congratulated on his success by [[River Song|River]]. She deactivates her [[psychic wimple]] and has him run her [[biodata]], asking to join him and the [[Doom Coalition]].
-[[Keeper of the Matrix (Songs of Love)|The Keeper]] confirms for [[Volstrom|Councillor Volstrom]] that [[information]] from [[Padrac's TARDIS]] has proven that usage of the [[Time Vortex]] will soon be compromised. He also says that [[Jerastra|Chancellor Jerastra]] needs to be informed of a rippling effect in the data streams of [[the Matrix]], [[infostamp]]s of which he hands over.

-Intrigued by River, Padrac has her secured in his TARDIS and orders [[Veklin|Captain Veklin]] to send [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] to [[Gallifrey]] and maintain a garrison on the Crucible, as well as to tell [[the Eleven]], should he appear, that he has been waiting for him. Meanwhile, in outer space, Liv and Helen wait to be rescued when a [[spacecraft]] approaches. Jerastra calls Padrac after a [[High Council]] meeting and informs him of the Matrix's projections and that some councillors are suggesting that they flee Gallifrey. Liv and Helen remove the [[helmet]]s of their [[pressure suit]]s and find themselves in another escape capsule which automatically re-enters the Vortex.

-In the [[Panopticon]], Jerastra has Volstrom inform the High Council of the Matrix's projections for the future of Gallifrey and that Padrac is risking his life to investigate. He denies Jerastra's suggestion that the Matrix might be compromised and says that Padrac is the best person to advise the Council in the absence of [[President (The Eleven)|the President]]. After the meeting, Volstrom and Jerastra talk about the absence of so many councillors and that the [[Inner Council]] will be convened when Padrac returns.

 River and Padrac arrive on Gallifrey and meet Volstrom. He and Padrac agree that they will push for the [[Harmony (Songs of Love)|Harmony]] vote. Meanwhile, Liv tries to operate the crashing shuttle and reroutes it to land in [[London]]. Volstrom tells Padrac that River's biodata confirms that she is Dr River Song and that she is linked to the [[assassination]] of the Doctor at [[Lake Silencio]]. Padrac introduces her to [[Caleera|the Sonomancer]], who is distorting information within the Matrix and who demands that River prove herself.

 In the spaceport, Liv and Helen search for a ship in which to escape.
-At a meeting of the Inner Council, Volstrom uses a Matrix window to show what will soon happen. Padrac gives a speech on how he has seen Gallifrey's fall in every possible timeline and suggests that they allow the rest of the universe to be destroyed whilst preserving their own planet, shocking Jerastra.

+Having stolen Volstrom's [[passkey]]s, River explores the Capitol, using [[River Song's sonic screwdriver|her sonic screwdriver]] on the [[camera]]s. She finds a Matrix window and sees that a vortex sphere had been sent to save Liv and Helen and deposited them in London. She contacts her "favourite girls", who are stealing a [[skimmer]], and, to get Liv's trust, tells Helen to tell her the truth of her identity. She leaves for her room to ensure that Padrac does not find her out, concerned that her time will be up once the Eleven arrives.
+Padrac interferes in the vote by giving another speech, which Jerasta says to Volstrom is unprecedented. She receives a message from [[Presidential Aide (Songs of Love)|a presidential aide]] informing her that the President's TARDIS is trapped in the [[transduction barrier]].
