''to | A wonder of modern technology; the vast, secure building waits. | ||
A part of the building's very fabric; the advanced computer Oracle waits for a face its systems recognise. | |||
And at the heart of this steel, concrete, cable and flesh; a figure thought long-dead waits for a visitor. | |||
Nimrod has one last meeting with his Doctor... | |||
== Plot == | |||
The Doctor enters [[the Forge]]. Several times security guards try to stop him, but the Doctor soon realises that he is being herded somewhere — doors close behind him and open ahead of him. | |||
He finally encounters [[Oracle (Project Lazarus)|Oracle]], who doesn't want to let him in, so the Doctor uses his [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]]. | |||
The Doctor finds a man connected to Oracle and realises it is [[William Abberton|Nimrod]]. The Doctor, appalled by what Nimrod has done, offers him a choice — he gives him a syringe with the Twilight cure. Nimrod can decide whether he wants to cure himself or not. | |||
