Publisher's summary

Cardinal Rasmus arrives in the War Room and vies for control with Ollistra. But first, they have a mystery to solve: a sole survivor from a Dalek attack has returned home - but is he a hero, or a threat?

Plot

Leela, having been trained for several weeks by the General, is sent to intercept an unusual Dalek ship approaching Gallifrey with only an apparently amnesiac Time Lord aboard and safely pilots it down to Area 5. The General, accompanied by Veklin, questions the Time Lord, who identifies himself as Cato Kelgoth and claims that he used a ship left over from the destruction of Zygor to escape the Daleks' massacre of the crew of the Candassia. Ollistra confirms that Cato Kelgoth is a real person, but Rasmus is uncertain that he is who he claims to be and suggests that they check with the data contained in the Matrix.
