Publisher's summary
It's Cass's first trip in the TARDIS, and the Doctor is determined to make it one to remember. But when they arrive at a research base that shouldn't exist, built above a missing explorer's ship that should never have been found, it seems their visit's going to be memorable for all the wrong reasons.
Because deep beneath the ice, there's more than just a long-lost ship waiting for them...
Plot
The Doctor, Alex and Cass travel to Station Twilight, a research base built to study the wreck of explorer Hudson Sage's ship, the Vespertine, which history records was never found. Additionally, the Doctor has detected a timeline that does not make sense. Technician Rin Martolo, believing them to have come from company headquarters, explains that the ship is in a cavern below the base and that she believes the crew abandoned it.
Without informing Ebus of their presence, Martolo lets the Doctor, Alex and Cass descend into the cavern and examine the Vespertine, which the Doctor finds that he knows his way around. They meet Hudson on a time locked deck and he lends Cass and Alex his memory recorder; they discover that Hudson was smuggling weapons, as does the Doctor after looking at some paperwork.
