Rasmus takes the Doctor and Bliss to the [[War Council]], explaining to them that Gallifrey has been at war but that they do not know whom their enemy is. The General shows them a five-dimensional [[hologram]] which indicates that unprecedented amounts of spatio-temporal distortion has occurred, including the destruction of [[galaxy|galaxies]], and that foot soldiers across the universe all surrendered at the same moment. They were armed with non-Gallifreyan temporal weaponry, but had no memory of who supplied them. The soldiers have since been captured and, on the orders of {{Armitage}}, are not to be released. | Rasmus takes the Doctor and Bliss to the [[War Council]], explaining to them that Gallifrey has been at war but that they do not know whom their enemy is.
