As his scheme took a while to mature, the Master decided to stave off boredom by meddling in local politics under the name of "Estro", and schemed to create a war between [[Lord Haldoran|Haldoran]]'s forces and [[Lord London]]'s. As he finally prepared to seize the matter transmuter, he found that [[Susan Foreman]] had gotten there before him. Though he failed to recognise her as the Doctor's granddaughter, he got the impression that she was at least one of the Doctor's former companions, and took her with him as a hostage back to his TARDIS. During a confrontation with the [[Eighth Doctor]], who discovered his presence, he shot at him, but instead killed [[David Campbell]], Susan's husband. The Master fled in his TARDIS together with Susan. | ||
As his TARDIS materialised on [[Tersurus]], Susan awoke from her shock-induced torpor and, with her mental abilities amplified by the telepathic circuits of the Master's TARDIS, focused all of her hatred and grief into a force that "burned away" the Master. Believing she had weakened him into harmlessness, Susan forced the Master out onto Tersurus's surface, planning to strand him there. She also planned to use the Time Compressor Eliminator to destroy the matter transmuter; the Master furiously clung to the device, refusing to let go even when she warned him that she would shoot it. The blast that resulted from the TCE hitting the matter transmuter nearly killed the Master and left his body as deformed as his mind, to the extent that regeneration was unable to heal the damage. Believing him dead, Susan departed in his TARDIS, but her use of it alerted the Time Lords to the Master's presence on Tersurus. Investigating the materialisation of an unauthorised TARDIS, the Time Lord [[Chancellor]] [[Goth]] arrived on Tersurus, where he found the Master in a wasted condition.
