[[Cass Fermazzi|Cass]] reports to [[Vice (Meanwhile, Elsewhere)|the Vice]] for her first commission on [[EC-141|an errand-class ship]] and is shown to her room where [[Pester]], a [[robot]], is also staying. Despite her being an [[engineer]], the Vice has her clean up [[Squidface]]'s [[cat]] [[vomit|sick]] and she encounters [[Hieronyma Friend]], the sole passenger, who gives her a device to take to the [[flight deck]] to ensure that the ship does not crash. On her way, she suddenly finds herself in a [[forest]] with Alex; when she returns, she tells the Vice, who has heard similar reports from other members of the crew and says that the ship has no passenger. | [[Cass Fermazzi|Cass]] reports to [[Vice (Meanwhile, Elsewhere)|the Vice]] for her first commission on [[EC-141|an errand-class ship]] and is shown to her room where [[Pester]], a [[robot]], is also staying.

On the ship, Alex meets Friend and the Doctor joins Cass on the flight deck, attempting to help save the life of the sick [[Mex|Captain Mex]]. The captain dies, however, and [[Garaban fly|Garaban flies]] burst from his corpse, indicating that he visited [[Garaba]] despite it being thirty-thousand [[light-year]]s away; the Doctor explains that [[portal]]s are opening all over the ship and | On the ship, Alex meets Friend and the Doctor joins Cass on the flight deck, attempting to help save the life of the sick [[Mex|Captain Mex]]. The captain dies, however, and [[Garaban fly|Garaban flies]] burst from his corpse, indicating that he visited [[Garaba]] despite it being thirty-thousand [[light-year]]s away; the Doctor explains that [[portal]]s are opening all over the ship and Cass manages to find a way to detect them. They join Alex and Friend and learn that the latter is a temporal [[diplomat]] from the [[Council of the Last]] and that she gave Cass a [[dimension slider]], putting the ship outside [[time]] to stabilise it. She was travelling with a temporal creature which was erased from time, but it has escaped its [[vortextual storage unit]]. | ||
Being outside of time, the ship's [[stringbearer]] [[engine]]s, which rely on the [[string theory|strings of reality]], needs to be shut down to prevent an explosion. Cass and Alex, who has no [[memory]] of meeting Cass before, go to deal with the engines whilst the Doctor and Friend go in search of the creature, building a scoop in order to capture it. When Cass and Alex reach the engines, Alex sets it to overload and places it in a [[force field]] before jumping through another portal with Cass. They arrive on Shimmer and meet the younger Doctor and Alex, confirming the Doctor's suspicions about the hyperstatic temporal incursions. | Being outside of time, the ship's [[stringbearer]] [[engine]]s, which rely on the [[string theory|strings of reality]], needs to be shut down to prevent an explosion.
