Summary

Landing on the generation ship Not-Home, Steven and the Doctor find the TARDIS drained of power and unable to take off again for months, if not years. They meet Korra, an inhabitant of Not-Home who carries a Helmstone - an artefact that requires her to present herself at the city for a ritual. The three of them undergo the journey together, but the Doctor and Steven suspect that all is not as it seems...
