''to | [[New York City]]. [[1985]]. | ||
Filled with their inexhaustible supply of energy, the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Romana II]] run through the streets after [[Oppenheimer-Mason|Mrs Oppenheimer-Mason]] before the [[Ra'ra'vis]] who hired them, [[Tigil]] and [[Kemos]], transmat in and push them along. | |||
Taking the initiative, Romana fakes being an old acquaintance of Mrs Oppenheimer-Mason allowing the Doctor to swipe the psychic sales voucher out from her spoiled dog. Passing the Doctor off as her mute chauffeur, Romana leads the Doctor back to the TARDIS. She needs her chauffeur to take her back two years so she can meet Mrs Oppenheimer-Mason and create the backstory she just made up. | |||

* Richard Dinnick previously wrote ''[[Time Fraud (comic story)|Time Fraud]]''. In that story, [[Tigil]] was a male Ra'ra'vis and [[Kemos]] was a male [[Gizou]] (as shapeshifting species). In this story, Tigil and Kemos both appear as Ra'ra'vis, implying these are the same characters. | |||
** To make matters more confusing, in one panel the female Ra'ra'vis is called Tigel and the male Ra'ra'vis is called Kemos. In a later panel, the Fourth Doctor calls the male Ra'ra'vis Tigel. | |||
