== Summary ==
== Summary ==
Giles Winston, a friend of the Doctor's and the world's most brilliant physicist, has vanished. The Doctor and Jo trace him to an abandoned wartime factory in the middle of nowhere. Once they have made their way through the night to this place and penetrated the factory they find themselves in a brightly lit room where they are confronted by the Master.
''to be added''
He explains to the Doctor that he has found a way that both of them can escape their exile and be undetected by the Time Lords. He has found a way into another dimension and has lured the Doctor here so that he can help Winston perfect the gateway. It is only when the Master mentions the word 'conquest' that Winston realises that his work is not peaceful.
 
The Doctor and Jo join the physicist in looking through the gateway at an Earth-like planet that has two suns. The Doctor asks the master if his plan is to conquer the reality beyond the gateway or to use forces from there to conquer this universe. At this point a flock of dragons take flight in the new world.
 
The Master drags Jo through the gateway and offers the Doctor the ultimatum of helping him overcome the new universe but Jo struggles away from him and leaps back through the gateway. The Master uses his weapon to shoot back into the laboratory from the other reality but hits the equipment within, destroying it. The gateway promptly vanishes.
