Leela and Drah use a [[vehicle]] far in advance of the technology used elsewhere, having been built from knowledge given by a visitor. Drah does not wish to speak of the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]], which is currently far away from Nateus but getting closer, and says that they need to remain hidden and keep the people ignorant of the war. Leela believes that this is pointless as the [[Dalek]]s will find them and destroy them, but she suddenly shifts away again. | Leela and Drah use a [[vehicle]] far in advance of the technology used elsewhere, having been built from knowledge given by a visitor.

Leela sees Sholan playing a fighting game with Kraumer and, when Sholan loses, she tells him that he must practise more in order to become invincible for the coming war. He says that there will never be war on Nateus, but agrees to fight harder. Leela then shifts ahead fifteen years into the war, when the Trell are weakening and Nateus is led by Lord Warrior, whom she assumes is Kraumer. | Leela sees Sholan playing a fighting game with Kraumer and, when Sholan loses, she tells him that he must practise more in order to become invincible for the coming war.

Renucha "tests" Sholan's knowledge by asking him about what the Trell can do and how somebody might be able to take them away, something which would require the planet itself to be moved. She then says that she is going to teach the students how to make a communications device. | Renucha "tests" Sholan's knowledge by asking him about what the Trell can do and how somebody might be able to take them away, something which would require the planet itself to be moved.

Leela finds herself with the dying Drah, who tells her that Renucha is actually a Time Lord and that she has to stop her and Lord Warrior. After telling her to go to the gardener, she dies. Leela then shifts back in time and finds herself running with Sholan and Kraumer from a [[Rudnig]] that she shot with an arrow. Leela and Kraumer cross a rope bridge whilst Sholan fends off the Rudnig with a branch, stunning it. It claws at the rope and Sholan and Kraumer fall, Sholan hitting his face against the wall and getting the scar that Lord Warrior has. Whilst Leela is able to get Sholan to safety, Kraumer falls. Sholan is angry at Leela for always having tried to make him somebody that he was not and says that she has finally succeeded. As he is now next in line to the throne, he will now be known as Lord Warrior. | Leela finds herself with the dying Drah, who tells her that Renucha is actually a Time Lord and that she has to stop her and Lord Warrior.

Leela shifts ahead and finds herself with the gardener, watching Nateus getting attacked. She learns that the gardener is Kraumer, having survived the fall, and that Lord Warrior and Renucha must be stopped from betraying Nateus. | Leela shifts ahead and finds herself with the gardener, watching Nateus getting attacked.
