Summary
It's the 33rd century.

The Doctor leaves with Agent 99’s telepathic signature and journeys to the planet Lossk. From there he uses Tryptic Thought Crystals of Lossk to find Agent 99. With Amy Pond and Rory Williams, he travel to the planet Quiox (the deadliest planet in the galaxy).

Having had a taste of a life of peace, Agent 99 agrees to travel with the Doctor, to resume his neglected duties and return to Earth, unaware that a device of some sort has been tracking the Doctors TARDIS in the quest to find him …
