Plot

Act One: The Giant Shark

The Doctor and Amy arrive on Poseidon just as a giant shark attacks the tunnel they are in. They are forced to escape and are left with no option but to move on, as their way back to the TARDIS is destroyed by the massive jaws of the shark.

As they traverse the tunnels, the are stalked by the giant shark desperately trying to break the galss and eat them. Arriving at the amin building, Amy and the Doctor find one of the base's personnel , Martin Flenigan. He explains how there is a disease affecting the base and the computer, Jones would not let in him through due to the quarantine imposed. The Doctor manages to convince Jones to let them pass through a comprimise.

Act Two: Poseidon 8

Inside Poseidon, they meet Oswald and Dana, who begin to explain the situation. The lights go out, and when Oswald and Dan begin to panic, the Doctor realises there is something else: the Vashta Nerada. When the lights come back on, Martin is found to be dead. The Doctor and Amy go to fix the generators so that they may keep the Vashta Nerada at bay. They arrive to the generator, avoiding the giant shark along the way, and are faced with two dead divers reanimated by the Vashta Nerada. They avoid them and the generator is put back on, expelling the Vashta Nerada from the two bodies once light is restored. The Doctor takes an environment status chip from one of the divers' bodies to Jones to analyse. Jones detects radiation but is unable to identify it, which the Doctor deduces is because it is Vortron Radiation, a type of radiation caused by rifts in time and space and not ordinarily found on Earth. The Doctor asks Oswald to give them the access codes to allow them to find the ingredients he needs to create a cure for the disease. However, Oswald forbids them them from doing so due to the danger posed to them by the Vashta Nerada. Amy and the Doctor convince Dana to give them the codes for the good of the ill, letting them out into the corridors to finds ingrediants. The Doctor concocts an antidote by using a series of vegitables and gives one of the serums to Dana.

Oswald and Dana reveal another piece of information: all these strange occurrences started with a mysterious flash of light. This leads the Doctor to scan the area around the base for the source of these events. The base's scanners reveal a nearby shipwreck, but it's no ordinary shipwreck. It is the wreck of famed US supplies ship, the USS Eldridge, which was part of a project to make it invisible (a project the Time Lords attempted to stop, but failed due to the ship falling through a dimensional wormhole). However, this project caused the ship to bend the laws of physics and travel through time, the elecromagnetic generator now acting as a gateway through time and space.

Act Three: Vashta Nerada

To rid the base of the giant shark, Vashta Nerada and the sickness - the Doctor and Amy have to find their way to the USS Eldridge and deactivate the gateway. The Doctor and Amy find an underground tunnel leading back to the TARDIS and the Doctor takes them over to the Eldridge. However, the Vashta Nerada are onboard and animating the suits to go after them. If that wasn't bad enough, the giant shark is still after them. They make their way through the ship and up to the primary controls for the gateway, flushing the dead bodies the Vashta Nerada are controling away with the water systems. However, as they attempt to deactivate the contols, the shark attacks, cracking the glass. Luckily they throw the switches to send the shark and Vashta Nerada back where they came from, also ending the radiation.

Back on Posiden 8, Dana and Oswald are thankful for their help and offer to have them join their Christamas feats of sea pumpkins. However, the Doctor and Amy are more than a little unwillingly and secretly enter the TARDIS and take off when Dana and Oswald have their backs turned.
