On a [[planet]] where [[time]] is broken, [[Bernice Summerfield|Benny]] watches a recorded message from herself explaining that she is in a twenty-four-hour [[time loop]] and that [[memory|memories]] can only be carried from one day to the next via video recordings stored in [[the Cloud]]. She meets [[Vince Foster|Foster]], who came to make a [[documentary]], [[Klinus]], an [[artist]], and [[Varna]], a [[scientist]] who believes that time was damaged by a [[time bomb]]. Following the bomb's detonation, [[Ace]] explains, the planet was [[time lock]]ed but failed to disappear from [[history]]. | On a [[planet]] where [[time]] is broken, [[Bernice Summerfield|Benny]] watches a recorded message from herself explaining that she is in a twenty-four-hour [[time loop]] and that [[memory|memories]] can only be carried from one day to the next via video recordings stored in [[the Cloud]].

The group encounter [[ghost]]s that vapourise everything they touch, whom Varna believes to be the rest of the population outside of [[reality]]. Despite the loop, those that are killed by the ghosts remain dead. Varna suggests that they find a way to use the exothermic reaction caused by the ghosts to enter the city, which many of them, aside from Ace, believe to be a safe place. Ace also tells Benny not to trust anybody as they are all lying to themselves in the recordings and tries to tell her a secret about Klinus. | The group encounter [[ghost]]s that vapourise everything they touch, whom Varna believes to be the rest of the population outside of [[reality]].

Varna suggests that they find a way to use the exothermic reaction caused by the ghosts to enter the city, which many of them, aside from Ace, believe to be a safe place. Ace also tells Benny not to trust anybody as they are all lying to themselves in the recordings and deleting footage and tries to tell her a secret about Klinus, whom Benny is attracted to. | ||
Klinus remembers fighting in a [[war]] before he was brought here and is grateful to whoever is behind it for giving him [[peace]]. Benny begins a [[sex]]ual relationship with him. The group eventually manage to get into the city and, the next day, Varna decides to route power through the Cloud to bring the city to life and hopefully break the loop by proving the existence of their world. The plan works and the ghosts vanish. Klinus remembers his whole life and Ace reveals that they are on [[Skaro]], the home of the [[Dalek]]s. | |||
