The [[Thirteenth Doctor]], [[Graham O'Brien|Graham]], [[Ryan Sinclair|Ryan]] and [[Yasmin Khan|Yaz]] encountered Krasko in [[Alabama]] [[1955]], after finding a suitcase filled with time displacement equipment.

=== Time meddling ===
Krasko believed that black people got "above themselves" and identified the [[Montgomery Bus Boycott]] as when "things started to go wrong". He used [[Krasko's vortex manipulator|a vortex manipulator]] to travel back to [[Alabama]] [[1955]], taking with him time displacement equipment and intending to prevent [[Rosa Parks]] from refusing to give up her seat on [[1 December]] by having [[James Blake]] replaced by [[Elias Griffin Jr]] and limiting the number of passengers.


Krasko's plot was averted by the Doctor and her companions who managed to ensure Rosa began the boycott, no matter what he tried. Krasko's vortex manipulator was destroyed by the Doctor, leaving him unable to time travel. As Krasko finally attempted to stall the bus on Rosa's route, Ryan used Krasko's own [[temporal displacement weapon]], to send him as far back as he could set the device for, presumably forever stranding Krasko in the [[distant past]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Rosa (TV story)|Rosa]]'') likely the age of the [[dinosaur]]s, according to Yaz.
