Friendly Fire was the first story in The Fifth Doctor Adventures audio anthology Conflicts of Interest. It was written by John Dorney and featured Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka.
Publisher's summary
When the TARDIS needs to reset itself, the Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan find themselves having to fill time on a space-hub filled with numerous attractions. This pleases Tegan and Nyssa no end... but the Doctor is more interested in visiting an alien friend of his living on a nearby mining planet and is able to persuade his friends to join him.
But on arrival, his friend is nowhere to be found and the locals are more than slightly unwelcoming. With limited options for departure and a hostile populace they may be in a lot of trouble.
Sometimes true monsters are found in the strangest places.
Plot
Part one
When the Cloister Bell sounds, Nyssa and Tegan hurry to the TARDIS control room and are told by the Doctor that the dimensional controls are resetting, shrinking the TARDIS into a singularity because he agreed to an update without landing and connecting to a power source. The Doctor performs an emergency landing and they exit the ship as it resets, finding themselves on the Aranis Space-Hub near the planet Komoko, a planet which is home to Vellah, a Patarian diplomat and friend of the Doctor's.
The trio hire a shuttle and fly to the main settlement on Komoko, which seems to be deserted aside from Brennan, who comes up with flimsy reasons to keep them from visiting Vellah before agreeing to provide them with a buggy. As the buggy is a two-seater, the Doctor and Nyssa set off in it whilst Tegan waits behind with Brennan, briefly seeing a woman as Brennan is making her a coffee. The Doctor and Nyssa arrive at Vellah's home and, finding the the house empty and rocks on the windowsill, they exit and are held at gunpoint by Reno, a marshal.
