The lights go out, and when Oswald and Dana 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, nothing left but his diving suit and bones in true Vashta Nerada fashion. | ||

They arrive to the generator. They are faced with two dead divers reanimated by the Vashta Nerada. They avoid them and the generator is turned back on, expelling the Vashta Nerada from the two bodies when 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. | The Doctor takes an environment status chip from one of the divers' bodies to Jones to analyse.

Oswald forbids them from doing so due to the danger posed to them by the Vashta Nerada. He plans to send the crew up to the surface in escape pods. However, this is a bad idea. If they're not destroyed by the shark, they'll be fish in barrels for the Vashta Nerada. Amy and the Doctor convince Dana to give them the codes, letting them out into the corridors to find ingredients. The Doctor concocts an antidote by using a series of vegetables 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.

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 supply 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 that brought both the Shark and the Vashta Nerada to Poseidon 8. | ||
