''to | [[Toshiko Sato|Tosh]] finally manages to decode the [[radio]] signal sixty-two miles above [[Siberia]] known as [[Pulse]] and discovers that it is a message for her, telling her that "the truth is in [[Zone 10]]". She offers [[Maxim Ivanov|Maxim]], director of the [[KVI]], information on the recently deceased [[Neil Redmond]] in exchange for his help and together they go to the [[Department of Agricultural Administration|KVI's base]] where Maxim explains that Zone 10 is a remote exclusion zone and the site of unusual phenomena including unexplained disappearances. On the journey, Tosh and Maxim discuss how the KVI had a working arrangement with [[the Committee]] in the past and she admits that she came without [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood]]'s knowledge to ensure that the mission was not taken from her. | ||
Upon entering Zone 10, Tosh uses a [[temporal fluctuation dampener]] to escape fragmented spacetime and allow the two of them to escape a loop. They are followed by somebody that Maxim claims is likely [[FSB]] but manage to reach the centre of the zone, where they find that [[cosmonaut]] [[Anna Volokova]] has been consciously living in a [[time loop]] since [[1965]]. An [[FSB agent]] arrives, having made a deal with Ivanov, to kill Anna and prevent her from revealing the truth; she was taken by the Committee as she was on her way to [[the Moon]] following a thirty-two-minute [[war]] between them and the KVI which ended with the detonation of a [[time bomb]] that created Zone 10. By doing so, the Committee proved that they were able to take anybody they chose. | |||
Maxim finds himself unable to kill Anna and helps Tosh keep her from being killed by the FSB at the cost of his own life. Tosh repairs Anna's [[lunar landing module]], which still has a considerable amount of [[fuel]], to get her to safety and learns from her that Torchwood invited the Committee to [[Earth]] and that they are now calling in their debt. Rather than safely land in [[Kazakhstan]], Anna decides that she will burn up all of her fuel and die in [[space]], giving Tosh [[Object 1]] and sending out the Pulse message as the dampener fails and time fragments once again. Tosh drives away on a [[snowmobile]] and the FSB agents are stuck in a [[time loop]]. Later, she sends out a message in the hope that Anna will receive it. | |||
