 After Felnikov has left, Kerenskaya and Creevy realize that Felnikov knows too much, but the Doctor believes that he is naturally suspicious. Ace enters the room and tells them that she is ready, having been through the plan with Hhessh, before asking when her breakfast will be delivered.
+Major Felnikov gives his motorcycle-riding soldiers instructions to let the Doctor's group straight through so as to cause as little commotion as possible, but they are allowed to close the trap if they deviate. The Major informs his soldiers that the approaching group will bring them a greater prize.
+The Doctor is once again communicating with the Adjudicator, who tells him that the panel have eased the disruption of his arrival in the time stream, to which the Doctor replies that disrupting history has nothing to do with Ace's further education, accusing them of bringing in Ace to tidy up a temporal anomaly. When the Doctor objects to not knowing about living a blameless life, the Adjudicator says that his protest is noted and he will now proceed to the parade.
+As the Doctor and his allies proceed through the parade, the time is now 1240, and it will be another 10 minutes before they need to meet up with Yasha and enter his van. Creevy is unimpressed at the sight of all the tanks being shown off during the parade, but the Doctor says that they are all the weapons that they are allowed to see. Creevy tries to convince the Doctor to lighten up, but the Doctor is worried about what the Russians may be learning from the Martians' weapons.
+Kerenskaya points out the factory workers from Kyiv in Ukraine, her home. Ace notices a pair of happy people on the stands, Cosmonauts. They are [[Yuri Gagarin|Yuri Gagarin]] and [[Valentina Tereshkova]], the first man and woman in space. Ace questions whether being the first people in space is worthy of being considered a hero, and Kerenskaya says that life is a struggle before asking if London is as liberal as she's heard people say it is and if she will like it.
+Ace realizes that she is going to London once her job is done due to being unable to stay in Russia while she's [[Pregnancy|pregnant]], which she has been for 15 weeks and Creevy is going to be the father of her new baby, but he doesn't know about it yet. She is greatly concerned with Creevy while he is working for Hhessh, but Ace is adamant that Hhessh can be trusted and that Kerenskaya has to tell Creevy, and she also asks if Kerenskaya should be trying to steal the relics while she is pregnant.
+Creevy reminds Kerenskaya and Ace that they have work to do. Felnikov approaches the group and tells the Doctor that both he and his fellow Russians believe in strength. Today, all progressive humanity celebrates the victory of communist ideals that have been expressed within the deeds of the Soviet, a statement that Creevy replies to by saying that once the parade is over, he is returning to Bethnal Green.
+Felnikov points out a series of nuclear warhead-carrying rockets called SCARPs, which no other country in the world has, but the Doctor says that he knows other armies that have much deadlier weapons. When Felnikov says that most secrets lose their bluster after they're revealed, the Doctor replies that he just has to know where to look. Felnikov leaves the group to do his business elsewhere. Ace believes that Felnikov thinks that they won't go through with their plan, but it's too late to turn back now, so they begin to make their way over to Yasha's location, where the Doctor fears Felnikov will also be waiting.
