Just | Just as the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor finished his threat, the real Doctor laughed it away, as he knew it was a poor fabrication of the creature who was truly responsible for the entire mess, using bits and pieces of [[the Master]], [[the Valeyard]] and the [[Meta-Crisis Doctor]] to fabricate a poor amalgam with which he expected to bedevil the Doctor. | ||
Infuriated at his plans being so easily exposed, the being identifies itself as [[Es'Cartrss]] of the [[Tactire]], a parasitic race known as the Cranial Parasites. It tells of how his planet was one of the many the Daleks had sequestered to power up the Reality Bomb, and he managed to infiltrate the Crucible until its destruction, when Es'Cartrss entered the Doctor's TARDIS and attached itself to him in the effort that began the story. | Infuriated at his plans being so easily exposed, the being identifies itself as [[Es'Cartrss]] of the [[Tactire]], a parasitic race known as the Cranial Parasites.

The Doctor uses the distraction to flee, and "Martha" gives him the last clues to realize what it truly was - the TARDIS' own mind, desperately trying to help its pilot shake off the parasite. The entire place was actually the TARDIS matrix. Once the Doctor realizes this, he begins to realize other things-namely, the TARDIS could assume the form of anyone who had ever traveled with him. | The Doctor uses the distraction to flee, and "Martha" gives him the last clues to realize what it truly was - the TARDIS' own mind, desperately trying to help its pilot shake off the parasite.

Prompted by the Doctor, the TARDIS assumes a variety of disguises from many past companions geared for combat, such as [[Steven Taylor]], [[Leela]], and [[Harry Sullivan]], while the Doctor examines the baseball bat, realizing it was, in fact, a chameleon circuit covering the Great Key of Rassilon, the final key designed to open the last door of the Matrix, the one the robots had been so desperate to keep them away from. | Prompted by the Doctor, the TARDIS assumes a variety of disguises from many past companions geared for combat, such as [[Steven Taylor]], [[Leela]], and [[Harry Sullivan]], while the Doctor examines the baseball bat, realizing it was, in fact, a [[chameleon circuit]] covering the Great Key of Rassilon, the final key designed to open the last door of the Matrix, the one the robots had been so desperate to keep them away from. | ||
The TARDIS beins assuming other shapes, better suited to specific tasks, like [[Kamelion]], who shrugged off attacks by the Voc Robot and the Clockwork Droid to open the door with the Great Key, [[Sarah Jane Smith]], and [[Adric]], whose intellect allowed him to design a way to break the parasite's hold on the Matrix by blowing himself, the infected Matrix components, and the droids, with one of Ace's old [[Nitro 9]] cans. | The TARDIS beins assuming other shapes, better suited to specific tasks, like [[Kamelion]], who shrugged off attacks by the Voc Robot and the Clockwork Droid to open the door with the Great Key, [[Sarah Jane Smith]], and [[Adric]], whose intellect allowed him to design a way to break the parasite's hold on the Matrix by blowing himself, the infected Matrix components, and the droids, with one of Ace's old [[Nitro 9]] cans. | ||
