This is quite difficult to date, as there are no references to [[human]]s, [[Earth]], [[Skaro]] or really anything for which we have a reasonable frame of reference.  It's set on the relatively unused planet of [[Mechanus]], for which really on ''[[The Chase]]'' provides any kind of guidance. The presence of [[fungoid]]s, or as they would later be known "Gubbage Cones", suggests we're in the same basic [[evolution]]ary epoch as [[DW]]: ''[[The Chase]]''.  Placement sometime after the final episode of that televised adventure seems reasonable, because this story depicts the utter devastation of Mechonoid City — a place that seems relatively whole in ''The Chase''.
