The Master infiltrated a Time Lord base which contained two [[dimensional node]]s, products of technology developed by "the [[Dimensioneer]]s", Time Lords of old who had travelled across dimensions, and stole them. Attempting to control the dimensional energies of the entire universe, the Master planted one on the planet of the [[Tolian]]s, allowing it to drain all the energy that was available before giving the Tolians a communicator as a way of drawing the Doctor to their planet, enabling the Master to steal the only [[node activator]] still intact from the Doctor's TARDIS. Having successfully tricked the Doctor into restoring the Tolians' source of dimensional energy for them using his Node by manipulating him and using a form of [[reverse psychology]], he allowed the Tolians to force him to open a [[dimensional rift]], causing a catastrophic imbalance to the flow of dimensional energy in the process so great that it threatened the structure of reality itself. | The Master infiltrated a Time Lord base which contained two [[dimensional node]]s, products of technology developed by "the [[Dimensioneer]]s", Time Lords of old who had travelled across dimensions, and stole them.

Rescuing the Doctor and his companion [[Raine Creevy]] from becoming trapped on the other side of a dimensional rift caused by the dimensional instability, the Master stole the Doctor's node activator and sent all the alien invaders back to their own dimensions, fleeing Earth with the Doctor in his TARDIS. Revealing his true identity to the Doctor, he detailed his plan: he intended to use the activator in conjunction with the two nodes to add even more dimensional energy to the Tolians so he could use them to conquer the Earth and other planet and dimensions beyond. However, the Doctor managed to convince the Tolian leader [[Arunzell]] that the Master would betray the Tolians, giving him the opportunity to capture the Master in return for recalling the rest of the Tolians. However, the Master revealed that he had locked the dimensional doorway, prompting him to abandon him to Arunzell. However, the restoration of the dimensional energies reduced Arunzell to his regular size, enabling the Master to kill him with his TCE and escape, intending to try his scheme all over again.
