When Judd’s fleet arrived after finally tracking the Esselven royals to their final destination, he had his ships launch an all-out assault on the shield, opening a brief hole in the shield that Dynes managed to slip through in his ship, Dynes gathering some information about the current situation both through his own research and an encounter with Peri, Peri exchanging her tale of the scavengers’ oppression in exchange for Dynes’s information on Judd. With this new information, Peri subsequently headed off to the palace after disposing of Dynes’ camera, where she met up with the Doctor and Green-8. Researching Judd in the databanks, The Doctor vowed to end his reign of terror, and, aided by Green-8 and Oralissa, managed to trick Judd and Dynes into thinking that the scavengers were also holograms before he apparently departed. When Judd attempted to analyse the palace computers to learn how to duplicate the temporal shield they had created, Oralissa transmitted a false self-destruct message, forcing Judd’s forces to depart while the Doctor, Peri, Green-8 and the scavengers returned (The Doctor having merely taken a short hop forward in the TARDIS). | When Judd’s fleet arrived after finally tracking the Esselven royals to their final destination, he had his ships launch an all-out assault on the shield, opening a brief hole in the shield that Dynes managed to slip through in his ship, Dynes gathering some information about the current situation both through his own research and an encounter with Peri, Peri exchanging her tale of the scavengers’ oppression in exchange for Dynes’s information on Judd.

As Judd and Dynes left the shield, The Doctor quickly manipulated the shield to bring time back into sync with the rest of the galaxy, apparently resetting Esselven Minor so that time would now flow normally for it from then on, leaving Oralissa and Green-8 to help the scavengers re-educate themselves to return home. Judd and Dynes, on the other hand, found themselves transferred over five hundred years into the future, where Dynes was shocked to learn that his reporting style was hopelessly out of date and he was only potentially useful for his unique insight into the world gone by. Judd, on the other hand, returned to Esselven only to learn that it was now ruled by the apparent descendants of the Scavengers- Oralissa serving as the nanny to the royal family while Green-8 now serving as the king’s advisor-, and was informed that his Protectorate had collapsed centuries ago. Although Judd protested that the Protectorate was an efficient, productive system, King Kell 3<sup>rd</sup> noted that it still allowed some authority over others, dismissing it as a cold, heartless system, and that people needed such idiosyncrasies as royal authority in their lives even if Judd had never understood that. As a result, Judd was taken away to a mental asylum to be treated for his ‘delusions’ that he was Glavis Judd- although Greeneight and Kel implied that they were aware of his real identity and simply thought this the easiest way to deal with him-, the novel ending with Judd beginning to doubt his own identity as he was locked away.
