 '''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was the first story of the audio anthology ''[[Charlotte Pollard: Series One]]''. It was written by [[Jonathan Barnes]] and featured [[India Fisher]] as [[Charlotte Pollard]], [[Michael Maloney]] as the [[Viyran]]s and [[James Joyce (actor)|James Joyce]] as [[Robert Buchan]].

 The Viyran Commander says that he has had his head filled with non-Viyran concepts such as [[melancholy]], [[boredom|ennui]] and [[despair]]. He has seen the future, heard the lamentation and seen [[N-Space|the universe]] in flames, the Viyrans' endeavours having failed. The Viyran that he is speaking to invokes [[Leadership Clause Hexagon-13]] and kills the Commander, succeeding him and ordering that the [[grappling stream]] be used to recapture Charley.

+The pod alerts Charley that the Fieldship Prime is giving chase and has engaged its grappling stream, which the pod may not be able to escape. The Prolixity extends its tendrils towards the pod and the new Viyran Commander calls the pod, telling Charley that she is too close to the Prolixity and that she should return. Charley has the pod reroute all non-essential energy to combat the grappling stream and the energy makes contact with the pod.
+Robert tells his father that all of the ships have stopped and that the pod is being swallowed up by the light of the Prolixity.
+The energy from the Prolixity boosts the pod's own power, helping the pod break free of the Viyrans' stream. The Commander tells her that she is being pulled into the Prolixity and that her actions are putting them all in danger. The pod tells Charley that the Rogue Viyran left her a message telling her to trust the Prolixity, which she chooses to do, likening it to the risk that she took on the ''[[R101]]''. The pod is pulled into the heart of the Prolixity as the Commander tells her that they will track her down and bring her home.
+Robert says to his father that he and the other ships are now leaving to avoid being pulled into the Prolixity like the pod. His father tells him to stop being sentimental about the fate of the pod and that sentiment would be the death of him, which Robert accepts.
+The Commander sends a [[squadron]] into the Prolixity after Charley despite the risk to Viyran lives, which he says is necessary. He says that something significant has been engrained within her and that she is far more important to the future of the universe than she is aware.
+The pod falls through space, being ripped apart, and Charley later wakes up to find herself lying in [[grass]] with [[Turnerman|a Scottish woman]] pointing a [[gun]] at her. The woman demands that she tell her who she is and where she is from, which Charley says is a long story.
