The [[Second Doctor ]] | The [[Second Doctor]] pilots the TARDIS as [[Jamie McCrimmon]] laments over the absence of their friend [[Zoe Heriot]]. The Doctor reminds him that she's off studying herbology at the time. Wonderng where they're going, Jamie is informed by the Doctor that the [[Time Lord]]s are sending them on a mission to [[Space Station Chimera]] in the [[Third Zone]]; they've also installed a teleport control on the TARDIS that grants them dual control. Showing the image of their destination to Jamie, the Doctor hears him compare its size to twenty castles. The Doctor explains to Jamie that the station is a research facility and they are here to have a discreet word with [[Dastari]], the Head of Projects. The TARDIS materialises in the station kitchen, where they meet [[Shockeye]], the station cook. | ||
The Doctor speaks to Dastari in his office. He explains the Time Lords want [[Kartz]]' and [[Reimer]]'s time experiments ended. The Time Lords have an [[non-interference policy |official policy of neutrality]]. | Shockeye is an [[Androgum]], a member of a primitive, emotionally and ethically bestial humanoid race who make up the station's workforce. [[File:How dare you.jpg|left|thumb|[[Shockeye of the Quawncing Grig|Shockeye]] berates the [[Second Doctor]] for landing in his kitchen.]] He is confrontational, angry that a ship has been landed in his kitchen, until the Doctor reveals he is a Time Lord. Suddenly deferential, Shockeye eyes Jamie hungrily and offers to buy him from the Doctor as the main ingredient for a meal. The Doctor, shocked, refuses. He takes Jamie away to see Dastari. As they leave, however, they hear the sound of the TARDIS dematerialising. This is observed by [[Chessene]], an Androgum technologically augmented to mega-genius levels; her appearance has changed because of such, looking like an attractive human woman. Chessene has plans of her own. They involve someone named [[Stike]], who will be arriving soon, once Shockeye's poisoned meal for the scientists takes effect. She has also taken possession of the [[Kartz-Reimer module]]. | ||
Dastari introduces Chessene. The Doctor is sceptical that augmentation can change her Androgum nature. He considers such tampering dangerous. | |||
The Doctor speaks to Dastari in his office. He explains the Time Lords want [[Kartz]]' and [[Reimer]]'s time experiments ended as if the wrong people had access to time travel, it would speel disastor for the entire universe. The Time Lords have an [[non-interference policy |official policy of neutrality]], which prevents them from getting directly involved. Because of such, they've sent the Doctor, who has been exiled from their world, to maintain deniability of ever being involved. Dastari introduces Chessene. The Doctor is sceptical that augmentation can change her Androgum nature. He considers such tampering dangerous. | |||
Meanwhile, three [[Sontaran]] battlecruisers appear near the station on an intercept course. Before the station's defences are activated, Chessene incapacitates the technician on post and opens the docking bays. Back in the office, the Doctor warns that the distortions from the Kartz-Reimer experiments threaten the fabric of time. Dastari refuses to order them ended. He accuses the Time Lords of not wanting another race to discover the secrets of [[time travel]]. The argument grows more heated. Dastari grows faint and falls into a drugged stupor. Energy weapons begin to sound in the corridors and the Doctor orders Jamie to run, as a Sontaran levels a gun at the Doctor. | Meanwhile, three [[Sontaran]] battlecruisers appear near the station on an intercept course.

Meanwhile, [[Oscar Botcherby]] and [[Anita (The Two Doctors)|Anita]], approach the grounds. Oscar, an [[English]] ex-stage actor who is running a restaurant in the city, is here to catch [[moth]]s, armed with a net and a [[cyanide]] killing jar. Anita and he see the Sontaran ship zoom overhead and through binoculars observe Dastari and another Sontaran carrying an unconscious Second Doctor towards the hacienda. Anita pulls Oscar along, thinking them victims of an [[aeroplane]] crash who need help. | Meanwhile, [[Oscar Botcherby]] and [[Anita (The Two Doctors)|Anita]], approach the grounds.

In the bowels of the station, the Sixth Doctor tries to disconnect the main circuit. Suddenly, Peri is attacked by a humanoid in rags. Her cries distract the Doctor. He is hit by a gas trap and falls unconscious, ensnared in the wires. | In the bowels of the station, the Sixth Doctor tries to disconnect the main circuit to prevent the computer from attacking them again.
