For a time prior to the arrival of [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], Cassandra had had nightmares of the [[future]]. A mean-spirited and vindictive sort, she nevertheless warned Priam and those associated with her that doom would come to Troy, the people of which had long failed to take her seriously. When [[Vicki Pallister]], later called Cressida, emerged from the TARDIS, which the Trojans had taken to the city, Cassandra immediately accused her of practising [[witchcraft]]. She warned of the [[Trojan Horse]], a plan put into action by the First Doctor, borrowing the idea from [[Homer]], but to no avail. | For a time prior to the arrival of [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], Cassandra had had nightmares of the [[future]].
