Masterful social media-only exclusive scene was a webcast special by Big Finish Productions featuring the Unbound Master and Kamelion released on 1 December 2020.[1]

Plot

The Master hums along to Kamelion's lute-playing before asking him to help him trim the sail of the space yacht to bring them to the left of the Oort cloud. He disparages what remains of Mutter's Spiral and that the Doctor wouldn't be pleased. Kamelion agrees. He asks Kamelion to shift the view to see the rest of the universe and notes there isn't much left. He mentions that his other selves are investigating the cause of its destruction, to which Kamelion asks him how he believes it to be going. He calls them stupid fools. The universe is doomed and nothing they can do can stop it.

Kamelion asks what the Master would propose to do about it and the Master chastises him to drop the subservient butler act: he didn't even try to murder him at breakfast. Kamelion apologises. The Master can't have Kamelion getting fond of him and sends him on his way to get his silver hands dirty - he knows Kamelion has a plan of his own. He orders him to find his other selves and to put a stop to them. Kamelion obeys and says goodbye. As he goes, he reveals he took the liberty of activating the yacht's auto-destruct. The Master compliments him for doing so.

The Master reasons - after he's sorted the auto-destruct out - that if there's any chance of saving the universe... He's just going to have to invade Gallifrey.
