Publisher's summary
Leela is assigned to the War Room by Lord Rassilon himself. There, she finds an earlier incarnation of Ollistra, restored from the Matrix to oversee operations. She has a mission for Leela, and will go to any lengths to ensure compliance...
Plot
Veklin takes Leela from her cell to the War Room on the orders of Rassilon, who has Vibax fit Leela with a compliance collar and threatens to hand her back to Vibax for genetic engineering if she fails to fight for Gallifrey. A Matrix projection of Ollistra's previous incarnation sends Leela on a mission with the General and Veklin to destroy Freme before the Daleks can ally themselves with the evacuating Fremians by placing Vibax's planet-killing device in a volcanic fissure vent. Upon arriving, Leela allows herself to be captured by the Fremians, who also take the TARDIS.
The General and Veklin manage to get the TARDIS back and, per Ollistra's orders, prioritise the mission over saving Leela, who has been welcomed by Argatro, head of the Fremian Council. The Fremians hurry to their shuttles to reach the Ark before the volcano's ash and smoke makes evacuation impossible and Veklin tries to get Leela to return to the TARDIS after the General activates the weapon, but she refuses as she believes that the Fremians will know that the Time Lords are responsible for the planet's destruction and will join the Daleks as a result. Whilst the General and Gilla take the TARDIS to the Ark, Leela and Veklin travel there by shuttle.
