 It was the third and final Big Finish audio story in the 2010 Fifth Doctor season. It continued a series of stories starring Davison, Sutton, Fielding and Strickson, who were reunited as a [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] team for their first new ''[[Doctor Who]]'' stories since 1983. It was further notable for including the return of the [[Mara]], a recurring enemy of the Fifth Doctor's era on television.
 == Publisher's summary ==
-"The [[Mara]] is in all of us, deep in our minds. In our darkest thoughts, that's where it started. Some people call it a [[demon]], but that's too simple. It's about temptation."

 == Plot ==
 === Part one ===
-Tegan has locked herself in her room, and the Doctor is worried. He tries to speak with her, but with no luck. Nyssa wants to try, so she sends the Doctor and Turlough away so she can talk to Tegan in private. They discuss the possibility of the Mara having come back into her. Tegan shows Nyssa the mark of the Mara on her arm, so Nyssa tells the Doctor.
+[[Nyssa]] manages to get [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] to let her into [[Tegan Jovanka's TARDIS bedroom|their bedroom]] to talk about the [[Mara]] before realising that she is currently under the Mara's control. Tegan collapses after [[Fifth Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Vislor Turlough|Turlough]] join them and the Doctor uses a [[Little Mind's Eye]] to enter her mind to drive the Mara out, but it refuses to leave without a new host and shows him the mark of the [[snake]]. Despite the Doctor's orders not to disturb him, Nyssa is distressed by his restlessness and wakes him up. The Little Mind's Eye is broken and Tegan's mark has disappeared.
-The Doctor believes that the Mara has come back into Tegan, so he uses the Mind's Eye to delve into the depths of her mind with the intention of driving out the Mara. He gives Nyssa and Turlough orders not to wake him while he is sleeping. Just as the Doctor is at the climax of drawing the Mara from Tegan into himself, Nyssa wakes the Doctor, scared at the fitfulness of his sleep. He reprimands her and goes with her and Turlough for breakfast while Tegan gets some more sleep. He plans to go to [[Manussa (planet)|Manussa]], the once-great planet before the Mara took hold of it, to see if he really succeeded at driving the Mara from Tegan.
+Unsure of whether he has managed to drive out the Mara, the Doctor flies [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] to [[Manussa (planet)|Manussa]] to get [[Dojjen]]'s help but lands several [[century|centuries]] early, long before the [[Manussan Empire]]'s subjugation by the Mara and the decline of its advanced civilisation. The Doctor takes Tegan to the [[Faculty of Advancement]] to see [[Honri Kerrem|Dr Honri Kerrem]], leaving Turlough and Nyssa to wander around, and a scan finds only a small amount of tissue damage in her [[hippocampus]].
-The four of them step out onto the planet, and discover that it is not the Manussa they remember: there are high-rise buildings and a more advanced society from the last time. Nyssa comments that they must be in the future, but the Doctor rebuffs this, noting that this is past, before the Mara took over. The Doctor asks which of them had touched the controls; they all deny it. He takes Tegan to a specialist to run some tests, leaving Nyssa and Turlough to wait for them in a park.
+At [[Sundown Studios]], [[Rick ausGarten]] and his [[assistant]], [[Baalaka]], give a demonstration of a machine that makes [[dream]]s a [[reality]] to [[Yoanna Rayluss]] whilst [[Snakeherd]] [[Dadda Desaka]] protests outside. The machine does not create what she is imagining but a giant [[rose]] in which she can see a fair-haired man writhing and trying to get free, so she deems it dangerous and intends to recommend in her report that his project cease. At the Faculty, the Doctor talks to Dr Kerrem in private and shows him the mark of the Mara on his arm.
-Meanwhile, an officer is set to come and inspect Sunset Studios, the broadcasting studio of one Rick AusGarten, a scientist who uses crystals to make dreams a reality. He tells his assistant Baarlaka - Barla, for short - to stop feeding the livestock and get on with cleaning the studio for them to pass inspection. He returns that it upsets the animals when their schedules are disturbed. AusGarten takes the officer - a woman by the name of - on a tour around the studio, to show her that everything is in order, for the demonstration later tonight. She nods and tells him that the people he uses for the demonstration will need thorough background and medical checks. He tells her that it is impossible; the people are chosen live.
-He offers to let her try it out, let her mind fixate on an object, and the crystals will make the vision a reality - "think into existence" AusGarten calls it. As she images, the figure of a rose forms in the dream tank. "But that's not what I was imagining," she tells AusGarten. She then notices something in the petals, writhing, trying to get free. It's a tall, fair-haired man, she whispers.
-Tegan gets settled in the chair and the specialist runs his tests, using crystals that Tegan notes are "like the Minds' Eye." He calls the Doctor back into the room - who had been sitting in a corner, muttering to himself - and tells them that Tegan's scans had come back clean. There was some scarring on the hypocampus, but that should be of no bother. The Doctor tells Tegan to wait outside, while he settles with the specialist. "You have money?" Tegan asks, bemused. "I'm sure we can come to some agreement," he says. Tegan leaves. The Doctor begins rooting around in the specialist's desk, all the while talking about having a recent affliction of his checked out. He then shows the specialist something on his arm: the mark of the Mara!
 === Part two ===
-Nyssa and Turlough are looking for the Doctor, since he hasn't returned, when suddenly they both doze off and reawaken. They are approached by a strange hunter who gives them a warning and walks off. Meanwhile, Doctor Kerren laughs off the Doctor's intimidating "Mara" speech but the Doctor asks him about Rick and tasks him with bringing together Manussan intellectuals and gets money from him. He and an unsuspecting Tegan leave. Nyssa and Turlough run into a distraught Yoanna Rayluss who explained what has just happened to her. They are eventually joined by Tegan but are startled when they are approached by a snake. Tegan, under the instruction of Turlough, manages to stop get away from it but they discover it belongs to [[Dadda Desaka]], the hunter they encountered earlier. He gives an ominous prediction and goes into a trance when Tegan suddenly remembers her dream and tells the others they have to go tell the Doctor, who didn't follow them. Turlough finds him but the Doctor is acting strange.
+The Doctor gets Dr Kerrem to write him a list of Manussa's intellectuals and give him [[money]] before heading to Sundown Studios to meet ausGarten, sending Tegan back to Turlough and Nyssa. She finds them with a distressed Yoanna and is briefly harrassed by a snake which Dadda Desaka comes for, making a [[prophecy]] about a dark cloud swallowing Manussa which reminds Tegan of a dream of the Doctor taking the Mara upon himself. Whilst Turlough finds the Doctor nearby and agrees to go alone with him to [[Scrampus Park]], Tegan, Nyssa and Yoanna are joined by more Snakeherds who send out their snakes to find the Mara.
-Tegan, Nyssa and Yoanna see hunters from a nearby tribe enter the city and command the snakes to search out the 'shadow' (the Mara) but Tegan and Nyssa start to argue due to Tegan having been tricked by the Mara-possessed Doctor who sowed seeds of doubt in her mind regarding Nyssa's confidence in her earlier. The Doctor causes a ruckus at the festival while Yoanna tries to get the hunters cleared out, despite them saying they are only trying to get rid of the evil entity (the Mara). The Doctor traps Turlough and locks him away while the Mara-possesed Doctor is found by ausGarten and he strikes up a deal with him, claiming he has been searching for ausGarten. Tegan, Nyssa, Yoanna and Dadda discover where the Doctor may be thanks to the [[Tuk-tuk]] driver they encountered earlier whom the Doctor frightened. Dadda heals him and they go searching for the Mara/Doctor. ausGarten guides the Doctor through his studio, explaining how he uses his equipment to turn people's dreams into tangible objects and how it has been successful but doesn't always work. The Mara-possesed Doctor suddenly goes berserk, smashes the cages holding the snakes and freeing them while he claims to a frightened ausGarten that he is the Mara...
+Dadda Desaka identifies the Doctor as the host of the Mara and the Doctor leaves with Turlough for Sundown Studios upon seeing the snakes. They find deformed [[animal]]s in hutches and the Doctor locks Turlough in an empty one before calling Dr Kerrem to ensure that Manussa's intellectuals are all paid to attend a [[dinner]]. He offers to fund ausGarten's project, of which he learns that the animals are byproducts, and to have celebrity guests endorse it. As Tegan, Nyssa, Yoanna and Dadda arrive outside of the studios, the Doctor frees the snakes created by the machine and declares that he is the Mara, the rightful heir to the world of [[chaos]].
 === Part three ===
-[[Baalaka]] frees Turlough but is frightened of the Doctor-possesed Mara and hides while Turlough finds Nyssa, Tegan and Yoanna just as they arrive and explains what happened. However, they are found by ausGarten. Luckily, Yoanna's back-up arrives to confiscate all the equipment after she relayed her report to the bureau informing them of the illegal activities ausGarten was  performing such as keeping animals in cages without proper protection and they confiscate the equipment. The Mara-possesed Doctor appears and frightens them, then runs off while they chase him. ausGatren, in the meantime, finds Baalaka and frightens him into helping him again. Doctor Kerrem arrives, having been called in by Yoanna as an independent consultant.
+Turlough is released by Baalaka and runs into Tegan, Nyssa, Yoanna and Dadda before both he and the Doctor are [[arrest]]ed and taken away for public disturbances at the park. Tegan and Nyssa are now certain that the Doctor has been possessed by the Mara and theorise that the Mara intends to become real several centuries early using the now-confiscated technology built by ausGarten, who is also under the Mara's control. In their cell, the Doctor attacks Turlough with a snake and has Dr Kerrem, called in by Yoanna to run tests, free him, but Turlough manages to steal [[the Doctor's TARDIS key|his TARDIS key]].
-Turlough worries about the Doctor as he struggles to stop the Mara from taking over the Doctor's mind while they are imprisoned in a [[cage]] on Yoanna's orders. Kerrem helps the Mara-possessed Doctor escape while Turlough is left behind and he makes a plan with Yoanna. The Mara-possesed Doctor finds that Turlough stole the [[TARDIS key]] from him. Nyssa and Tegan find the TARDIS chained up by Dadda who claims it is the coffin that brought the evil there. Turlough arrives while Dadda is captured and converted by the Mara-possessed Doctor having the snake mark transferred to his arm and he gets Nyssa and Tegan inside the TARDIS before the Mara-possessed Doctor gets them. They try look up the Mara in the [[TARDIS library]] only to find the pages missing in the book they need, as the Mara took them earlier and intends to follow through on the instructions on how to release it. They fear that the Mara taking over too early at this point will damage the [[Web of Time|web of time]], which they believe the Mara gives no cares about the consequences so long as it gets what it wants, complete domination. Meanwhile, the Mara-possessed Doctor prepares to free itself but all the crystals used fail and he demands Kerrem get some more from an academic faculty. Having found the [[The Doctor's spare TARDIS key|spare key]], he then enters the TARDIS and ends up taking over Nyssa's mind as well. They tie up Turlough and Tegan and then start a studio broadcast using ausGarten's equipment which they recovered.  They use the thought visualiser to bring the Mara back into existence right in the studio, as a giant snake appears...
+Tegan and Nyssa wait at the TARDIS for the Doctor and Turlough and are joined by Dadda, who is taken over when the Doctor arrives. Tegan and Nyssa get into the TARDIS with Turlough and look for information on the Mara in the [[TARDIS library]], but they find that the relevant pages in [[An Universal History of Fable and Demonology Written at the End of All Time|a book of demonology]] have been removed by the Mara to help it achieve its goals early. The Doctor enters the TARDIS, having created a key using the dream-maker, and takes over Nyssa's mind before tying Tegan and Turlough up and flying the ship to the studio. On live [[television]], the Doctor and ausGarten use the machine to rebirth the Mara as a giant snake.
 === Part four ===
-ausGarten begins boasting about having brought the snake into existence out of pure [[thought energy]] on live television while Tegan and Turlough think of a way to escape. The Mara-possesed Doctor attempts to tell the viewers that the Mara is their protector and will make its first appearance at the midnight New-year festival while Tegan and Turlough try to convince Baalaka to help them as ausGarten treats him horribly and is not his friend. Turlough succeeds in getting through to him and they go off leaving Tegan behind and contact Yoanna, explaining the situation. However, they are found by ausGarten who learns of their plans and wants to put the Mara-possessed Doctor in his place for disgracing him earlier. Tegan finds a Mara-possessed Nyssa and tries to stay with her by taking advantage of the new-found possessed Nyssa's arrogance, since none of the Mara-possessed individuals seem to want to cooperate with each other and only do so under the Mara's influence. The Doctor comes in and Nyssa, surprisingly, doesn't give away that Tegan is hiding in the room, where the Mara-possessed Doctor suggests she find a more attractive outfit in the [[TARDIS wardrobe]] and that he has disabled the flight controls in case so no one can get away.
+Using Dr Kerrem and Dadda's influence with the public, the Doctor paints a positive image of the Mara and announces that it will accept [[sacrifice]]s at [[midnight]]. Tegan and Turlough persuade Baalaka to let them go and split up; Turlough calls Yoanna for help and learns that she is already outside of the studio whilst Tegan tries to get through to Nyssa and goes with her into the disabled TARDIS to find a [[dress]] for her to wear. Turlough joins Tegan and they pretend to agree to join Nyssa, who believes that the Doctor is unworthy of his current role as leader of the [[Council of the Snake]], but secretly plan to remove the crystal used by the dream-maker.
+The Mara feeds on the [[fear]] of the crowds gathered outside of the studio and Tegan and Turlough trap the Doctor using [[camera]]s and screens, but the mark of the Mara remains on him. Baalaka stares into the crystal and is transported with Tegan and Turlough to a place similar to the [[Place of Great Dreamings|Place of Dreaming]] where the Doctor, Nyssa and Dadda are. The Doctor banishes the Mara within him to the [[Dark Places of the Inside|Dark Places Inside]] and regains control, getting the crystal into the TARDIS and inverting its power. Tegan decides that she will be the one who defeats the Mara by touching it with the crystal, but Baalaka, who now knows that he is the light casting the shadow of the Mara, takes it upon himself.
-Turlough finds Tegan inside the TARDIS while Nyssa tries on outfits and they discuss their next course of action with Baalaka. She finds them and reveals that she believes the Doctor an imbecile who is not worthy to be the right-hand servant of the Mara and asks if the two will serve her instead, which they pretend to agree. Satisfied, she leaves and joins the Doctor and the others while Tegan and Turlough secretly discuss a way to get the crystal away from the Mara, which it is currently tightly wound around, and get rid of it for good to try save their friends.
+The Mara and Baalaka disappear. Dadda is commissioned to write a book about recent events and ausGarten offers the Doctor the opportunity to star in a series of his own, but he declines and tells his companions that he does not believe that the Mara is or will ever truly be gone. He brushes Yoanna off when she asks about whether he has any posts available on the TARDIS and leaves with Tegan, Turlough and Nyssa as she answers her [[phone]], having established a Mara [[helpline]].
