[[File:varos_ep1.JPG|thumb|right|[[Sil]] abuses the system]]On [[Varos]], a planet in the constellation of [[Cetes]], the public torture of the rebel [[Jondar]] is broadcast throughout the planet. Citizens [[Arak (Vengeance on Varos)|Arak]] and [[Etta]] watch the event from their room. Arak complains that they never show anything new to watch. In addition to the lack of new programming, the two must also deal with food rationing. Also, that night will be a punch-in vote ordered by the [[Governor of Varos|Governor]], and voting is mandatory. | [[File:varos_ep1.JPG|thumb|right|[[Sil]] abuses the system]]On [[Varos]], a planet in the constellation of [[Cetes]], the public torture of the rebel [[Jondar]] is broadcast throughout the planet.

[[Peri Brown|Peri]] complains that the Doctor has caused three electrical fires and a power failure, nearly collided with a storm of asteroids, got lost in the TARDIS corridors twice, wiped the memory banks of the flight computer, jettisoned three quarters of the storage hold and burned her "cold dinner", all since the time-travellers [[Attack of the Cybermen|left Telos]]. Minutes later, the TARDIS stops. It has stalled in the middle of deep space and the Doctor can do nothing to fix it. | ||
[[Sil]], the [[Mentor]] representative of the [[Galatron Mining Corporation]], is negotiating with the Governor over the price of Varos' [[Zeiton-7]] ore. Their discussion, like many others, ends in stalemate. For many years, the Galatron Mining Corporation has swindled Varos by paying far less for the ore than its market value. To make matters worse, the [[Chief Officer]] is in league with Sil. The Governor moves on to conduct the night's vote. He addresses the people, asking for their vote on if they should hold out longer for a fair price on the ore. The Governor loses and is forced to endure [[Human Cell Disintegration Bombardment]]. The process slowly kills the target and this is the third time his recommendations have failed to pass. The guard [[Rondel]] recommends that the Governor execute [[Jondar]] to please the citizens so he can recuperate before the next vote. | [[Sil]], the [[Mentor]] representative of the [[Galatron Mining Corporation]], is negotiating with the Governor over the price of Varos' [[Zeiton-7]] ore.

Peri locates the [[TARDIS manual]] and presents it to the Doctor. He quickly dismisses it. He knows perfectly well what has caused their dilemma. The transitional elements within the TARDIS have stopped producing orbital energy and they need Zeiton-7 ore to realign the power systems. The Doctor explains Zeiton-7 is exceptionally rare and only comes from one planet: Varos. The Doctor repairs the TARDIS enough to get to Varos. They arrive right before the execution of Jondar is to take place. | Peri locates the [[TARDIS manual]] and presents it to the Doctor. He quickly dismisses it.

The Doctor and Peri exit the TARDIS and he thinks they are hallucinations as well. With some help from the chained Jondar, the guard is incapacitated. The two free [[Jondar]] and make their escape after being cut off from the TARDIS by more guards. They are rescued by Rondel. He has defected after speaking with [[Areta]] and decided to help them. But he is killed shortly thereafter by pursuing guards. | ||
The Doctor, Peri, Jondar, and Areta continue through the Punishment Dome, attempting to make their way back to the TARDIS. During a run-in with another group of guards, the Doctor is separated from the others, who are arrested. He enters a corridor that appears a desert. With all of Varos watching, he succumbs to the heat and collapses with his end as a close-up. | The Doctor, Peri, Jondar, and Areta continue through the Punishment Dome, attempting to make their way back to the TARDIS.
