However, the three arrive at [[Excroth]] to find the planet destroyed, despite the fact that they should arrived "slap bang in the middle of the [[Second Excrothian Tetrachy]], a period of unparalleled scientific enlightenment. | However, the three arrive at [[Excroth]] to find the planet destroyed, despite the fact that they should have arrived "slap bang in the middle of the [[Second Excrothian Tetrachy]], a period of unparalleled scientific enlightenment". Almost immediately, a massive ship decloaks and captures the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] with a tractor beam; the Doctor storms out of his timeship to confront a platoon of massive robotic [[Lect]], which confine the Doctor, Rose, and Jack inside a localised force field and demand to know why the travellers have come to the Excroth System. | ||

There, Rose finds a [[tachyon inhibitor]], which, the Doctor explains, protects "its wearer from [[Causality|cause and effect]]", and the Doctor explains that "the whole system is buzzing with [[chronon]] particles". Moments later, the storage bay's [[artificial gravity]] fails as a squadron of armored [[centaur]]-like [[Unon]] attack the ship. | ||
The Doctor attempts to lead Rose and Jack back to the TARDIS, but the three are intercepted by a group of Lect, who order the Doctor and his companions to leave the ship. Another moment later, one of the Lect is destroyed by an Unon fighter, who blasts a hole in the ship, creating a decompression leak that nearly drags Jack and Rose out into space. Rose begins to glow when the tachyon inhibitor on her wrist activates, and one of the Lect reactivates the ship's external shield, saving the two humans. The Doctor offers to help the Lect escape their damaged ship even as another of the robots is destroyed by an Unon fighter, but the Lect insist that his kind "never run from battle" before attempting to terminate the Doctor. | The Doctor attempts to lead Rose and Jack back to the TARDIS, but the three are intercepted by a group of Lect, who order the Doctor and his companions to leave the ship.

Jack knocks the Doctor out of the way, blasting off the Lect's arm with his sidearm before the three escape and head for the TARDIS while Rose demands to know why she started glowing when the tachyon inhibitor activated. When they are intercepted by another Lect, Jack blasts it with his sidearm before the Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to destroy Jack's weapon, and the three of them finally make their way back to the TARDIS. The Doctor and Jack rush into the timeship, but Rose's jacket becomes snagged on the severed arm of the destroyed Lect as the police box door slams shut.

The TARDIS dematerialises just as the Lect ship is destroyed, causing Rose and the Lect to be thrown directly into the [[Time Vortex]], where the tachyon inhibitor on Rose's wrist activates. | ||
